The Pennsylvania railroad pre-
sents some interesting information
bearing upon the frequent charge
that the salaries of railroad officials
should be cut down in order to
permit reduction in rates and higher
wages to workers. The Pennsyl-
vania declares that if the salaries
Of all its general officers in 1920
had been abolished, rates and fares
could not have been cut down even
one per cent; while if all those sal
aries had been added to the wage
earners' payroll it would have been
increased only 1.3 per cent.

Paper made from water lilies will
be produced in a new factory in
Ocotlan, Mexico. The lilies are of
such peculiarly fibrous nature that
they form the best material for a
high grade of paper and the supply
is inexhaustible, because the lilies
cover the rivers in that vicinity and
grow rapidly.

Secretary Hughes has the right
understanding of American public
opinion. He said in his admirable
letter declining the invitation to
Genoa: "This governement cannot
be unmindful of the clear conviction
of the American people, while de-
sirous, as has been abundantly de-
monstrated, suitably to assist in the
recovery of the economic life in
Europe, that they should not I'M
necessarily become involved in Eur
opean political problems" In other
words, we will attend to our own
business, which, in fact, will keep
US reasonably busy.

WOULD INJURE
MINING


A communication printed in this
issue of The Silver State, written
by an interested party and pointing
to dangers existing in a bill now
before Congress called the Denison
bill, is perhaps of greater import
ance to Nevada's prosperity than
has yet been brought out, and for
that reason requires more than
casual investigation. The Denison
bill would prohibit sending of stock
certificates or stock-selling litera-
ture, even newspapers with pro-
motion advertisements into states
now having "blue sky" laws, unless
the would-be stock seller had first
complied with the provisions of the
"blue sky laws of the different
states. AS there are some thirty
five states that have all sorts of
regulations along this line it is
patiently impossible for any save a
dividend-paying mine company to
offer stock meeting requirements,
and these do not need to sell
stock.
Denison, sponsor Of the proposed
law, halls from Illinois, the state
with the most stingent "blue sky"
laws in this country. The purpose
of the law apparently is to prevent
stock sellers from disposing of GER
tificates in "blue sky" states by use
of the mails, and to prevent evasion
the bill is worded SO that stock
certificates could not be shipped into
such states even by fright. The
law, if passed, would really be pro-
viding federal means of enforcing
laws Of the states involved.
The Silver State will not say that
strict enforcement of certain "blue
sky" laws would not be a good
thing. In fact we heartily favor
anything that may do away with
the fraudulent stock salesman. But,
through the lack of understanding of
mine development requirements,
common in the east, the proposed
law would undoubtedly have the
effect of completely killing most OF
the mine development in this and
other mining states, if passed.
The Denison bill, as with many
of the state "blue sky" laws, is
wrong because practically every
mine is first prospect hole which
constitutes in a large measure a
gamble as to whether it will ever
develop into a paying mine. Often
times expenditures mount into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars be-
fore commercial production is
started. On the Comstock today,
in this state, there is a mining
proposition being put forward where
in more than four million dollars
will be spent before one dollar
is produced.
IT Is always the pr0spector with
little money, often grubstaked, who
goes into the hills to find mines.
Without the poor prospector in the
field mines would would never of
been heard Of in this or any other
state. Under laws that prohibit
him from doing business with people
willing to take a chance he would
find it impossible to carry n
and the consequence would be that
the number of new mines developed
would be practically nil.
Some other means of curbing
the crook can be found without
resorting to anything as stringent
as the Denison bill, and the Silver
States correspondent is right in
saying that every endeavor should
be put forward to defeat its pas
sage.
