MICHIGAN COPPER FROM JAPAN.

a visitor, at a Michigan copper mine was 'n-e~-
ested in some very artistic copper vases which ne
saw for sale at a curio shop near the rnine. He
supposed, quite naturally, that they were OF sossd
copper, mined on the spot. He found otherwise.
He learned that the articles were plated with cop
per on a cheaper metal, and that instead of being
made In the mining town they were imported from
venirs of their visit to the mine, and Japanese plat
ed articles had been imported for their accommoda-
ton: The visitor learned further that the copper
used for plating was from American mines, and tina.
quite probably some Of it had come from the mine
near where it was offered for sale. Thus, in spite
be genuine" Copper was taken from the ground
in Michigan, shipped to Japan. used for plating
small articles and shipped back to the point of orr
gin and there sold to people who supposed they
were getting something right fresh out of the
ground. Curiously, TO the average souvenir hunter
the long journey of the metal would detract from
rather than add to its desirability.

MEANINGLESS TAX RATES.

The tax ,ste~of the town Of Oxford. Mass. is
$52. 10 per $1,000. Since that fact became public
the town of Oxford has been used as a horrible ex-
ample OF h;gn taxation. Now comes the town OF

be raised TO 5000 mex. year by reason, so the cor
Tespondens says. OF the building OF concrete

All ofthis sounds very shocking. a tax rate of
SIX per cent is. OF course, conhscztory. The net

TRY THE OTHER PLAN FIRST.

One OF the purposes OF an element which has
been very active in both the coal and rail strikes has
been TO force upon the government the permanent
policy OF operating by itself both coal mines and
railroads AS to the manner IN which this control
I was to be exercised there are different theories, but
the plan most favored By the government ownership
] element has been that Of tine wo,knaen's soviet, &
I plan similar to that which has brought such iisas-
ter TO Russia. Miners should manage the mines.
and railway workers the railroads. The MINERS
should be organized into a political group. with rep
! Tesentation in the general government and the rail-
way men should he similarly organized and repre-
scented. Qnestions<of hours of Labor. conditions Of
iaho. and compensation for labor. would be deter
mined by striking a balance among the various de
i msnds oi the respective sosaets, the inevitable tend
( ency being in the direction OF shorter hours. easier
working conditions. and better compensation.
The United States is not ready for the adoption
OF that plan. Or OF ANYTHING resembling II. Coal
mining is being resumed ali over the country. hence
there is no occasion al present for drastic measures
with reference to ira, industry. In the event that
the railroad companies cannot operate their proper
ties SO as to give the public the service which il
needs and must have. the government may eventual
~ be called on to operate the roads as a temporary
measure. and until other means are found. But
government operation as q permanent policy viii not
be undertaken for man. a long day. if ever
In the meantime. and before the government is
asked to take over" the roads let the railroad COM
panies be given an opportunity to operate them
themselves. This opportunity they have not had.
Certain OF their employees having Left the service, the
railroad people have invited other men to work for
shena~ Many men have responded But there has
not vet been an opportunity to find out how many
nnea are willing 70 go 20 work in the railroad shops
al the wages nxed by the labor board. The reason
for this Is thai over .ae head Of every man offering
hsnaseaf for railroad work has hung the threat OF VIC
aence- That threat has operated to deter men from
gosng to work when they would otherwise have done
SO. 40 antii that threat is removed can il be
knoan ahetaer or non it is possible for the railroad

PARALLEL

Petitions have been presented to the city com
mission asking for a regulation providing for the
parking of automobiles parallel to the curb on those
portions of Third street and DeMers avenue which
are traversed by street railway tracks. The peti-
ton asks that within this district cars shall be
parked only close to rand parallel with the curb,
three feet apart, or 1 smaller distance if such would
permit ingress and egress.
Without doubt the oblique system of parking is
the most convenient for the driver. The trouble
with it is that where this system is used on 4 street
traverscd by a street railway. cars are often left
projecting 90 far into the street that there is not
room between them and a passing street car for an
other auto. Thus the practice becomes dangerous.
and traffic is often halted because OF the blockadinp
of the street.
The parallel plan IS giving satisfaction in a good
IA trial here.
In this connection il may be well to cali atten-
ton again to the dangerous practice which a good
many people still follow of crossing the street in
the middle Of the block. It would probably be inn
possible to look down Third street for two minutes
during business hoursson any day without seeing
someone commit this ofensc against ali traffic rules
and, safety regulations. That people are not killed
from this cause every day is due TO the fact that
most drivers keep their cars under control and are
able to stop 81, dodge II time.
Still further, one cifizen wants to know why 4
