REAL PUBLICITY PROTECTION
AGAINST FAKE PROMOTIONS.

Full information available to the
public is the best protection against
Legitimate mining promotions. If the
people in compiling this information
public in compiling this information
are unable to get it, it naturally fol-
lows that the private citizen would
find it even more difficult, and in
such a situation the wise course is to
stear clear of those companies who
withhold information regarding their
affairs The value of publicity in this
respect was recognized by Stewart
Campbell, state mine inspector, in
his report covering last year, in which
he gave a list of mining companies
doing business in Idaho as far as OBJ
tainable. together with the location of
property, number of claims, develop
ment work, equipment names of Of
hcers, capitalization. etc. This feat
ure Of Mr.. Campbelrs report is the
subject of favorable comment by the
Engineering and Mining Journal
Press. which says editorially in it's
issue of May 27:
state mine inspectors or officials
who perform their functions should
consider it their duty to publish at
regular intervals comprehensive lists /
of the companies operating or having /
property within their several states /
Many of them do. but in some states
they do not. Some of the lists pub
lished give little more than the name

Gle Joe" had this to say in REPUTATION
of the pessimistic plant that pro-
fesses to see in the American people
a degenerating race:
There are now more great
men and more great women in
the United States than there have
ever been in the past history of
the republic. Someone asks:
Where are they? And ] answer:
They are everywhere following
their vOcations; but when neces-
sary, whether it be in congress or
in civil life. or upon the bench, in
the state legislatures; whether it
be in diversifying industries of
the country and carrying on the
business of the country whether
it be in following the pillow or
working in the machine shop,
there will be found more people

ready to defend the flag than

for knowledge can be satisfied. No
one should be better posted than
state inspector on the properties
within his state. Not that he should
knock or boost, or be expected to
pass upon the reliability of a com
pany. This would be unwise. But
such facts as the address Of a com
pany, the location and description of
its property. its officers, capitaliza-
ton, it's history in brief. with other
kindred data, could well be published
annually.
Recently we sought a list Of the
mines of Alabama From Birmingham
comes word that an up to date list of
coal mining operations exists, but not
of ore mines. 1t seems that the state
inspector has not been able to es-
tablish his authority over operations
of this class, and can not therefore
secure authoritative information re-
garding them. This is but a case in
point If the inspector can secure the
information, the public has right to
know it.
Fraudulent stock promotions are
made more difficult the more the
public knows of the property con-
cerned. They will not be made i'm
possible however by any amount of
published information, for the boob

other such disaster would be alto
gether unnecessary II they have
not learned the lesson, there is little
use in further warnings through the
press. But the fact remains that in
spite Of experience and repeated
warnings, every summer witnesses
numerous forest fires which can be
accounted for in no other way than
carelessness or observation-disclosures, or
possibly in some cases to utter lndif-
ference to consequences.
The federal government through
the forest service the state of Idaho
and private owners of timber are ma
king large appropriations every year
to guard against forest fires and are
accomplishing good results in that
direction, but it is obvious that their
success must depend upon the atti-
tude Of the public, that they must
have the cooperation of the people
who visit the forests. A smouIdering
camp fire, a cigarette stub cast care
lessly away or the ashes knocked
from a pipe bowl, may render useless
all the money spent in fire protection.
According to statement from the
National Lumber Manufacturers as
sociation, there are yearly an average
of $4,000 forest fires in the United
states which devastate 100000 acres
and that the area thus destroyed is
double the area annually cut for COM
mercial use. Making the figures still
more impressive. the statement says
that "the amount of timber destroyed
oy fire every year is sufficient to put /
up 100000 homes" enough to provide /
shelter for population equal to that

so they formed a party of their own
rather than affiliate with either of the
other two. Doubtless the women's
party will have candidates in the FIELD

best to beat all their opponents. There
was no more reason for a republican
president to attend the dedicatorv
ceremonies than for him to attend a
democratic pow-wow or a gathering

Instead of being present in person

REGULATION OF MOTOR STAGE
AND TRUCK TRAFFIC.

Laws regulating the operation of
motor stages and motor trucks. which
have now come into such general use
that they must be regarded as pub
lie service institutions, must soon be
enacted both as a matter of protec-
ton to the public and as a matter of
fairness to the railroads with which
they compete. The subject has re-
ceived considerable consideration at
the hands of the public utilities com
mission of Idaho. and it is probable
that regulatory measures will be
passed by the next legislature. The
situation was recently discussed in a
statement issued by George e. Erb
president of the utilities commission.

CUT OUT SUMMER VACATION


Lewiston Tribune)
/ Beginning at the top with the uni
versities, the idea is growing for the
abolition of the long summer school
vacation. At Berkeley a big summer
school fills up this period, and few
years ago Stanford adopted the con-
tinuous session plan by dividing the
year into four quarters and allowing
each member of the university one
quarter off, instead of all taking their
vacations at once. The idea is TAX
ing hold of the public schools In New
York the congestion in school facili-
ties has led to using the vacation
periods for extra classes, and Los
Angeles is discussing the suggestion
of all-the year round schools Theo
retically it might be desirable to have
everybody take vacations at the same
time. But actually this is not posi-
BILE. The machinery of society must
operate all the time. The Stanford
idea of keeping the wheels moving
but dividing the year into four quar-
tiers. three of which are considered a
