own investment. I cite this greatest copper mine in the world as an exam pie of the development of a prospect into mine which has paid more than $115,OOO,00O in dividends since 1904. Surely the farseeing owners of this mine did not go out to buy devel- oped mine. They knew even then that the big mine would have to be made with their money if they were to have the great profit of the speculation.
 Now is Time to Investigate. l Now is the time to be active in the examination and negotiation for these mines. When the metal market ad- vances the prices for such mines will not only advance, but the owners will have funds with which to carry on their own operations, and they will not consider the sale of the mine on any terms. The present situation in the mining field parallels that de scribed in the incident related of the elder Rothschild Meeting him on the streets of London one day during the time of the French revolution, a friend asked, "Mr. RothschiId, what securi- ties do you advise me to buE?"
 "Buy French rentes," said Roth- schild
 "You cant mean that seriously" said his friend, "the streets of Paris are running with blood, and the French rentes are worth practically nothing!"
 "Precisely so," retorted Rothschild, "and it is because the streets Of Paris are running with blood that you can buy their bonds for almost noth- ing"
 So it now is in mining. The years of 1920 and 1921 have drenched the mining fields with the financial blood of mine owners. Many have been forced to the wall, and the careful in vestor now finds alluring opportunl- ties lying strewn in his path. The shrewd operator will not wait too long before selecting and making some or these attractive chances his own.
 Some of the largest mining com panies already have sent men into the field to look. for these smaller mlnes' They see the advancing markets m copper and zinc; they see lead with a risinq market rather than a falling one before it; they see the silver pro duced in the United States with Q fixed market of, $1 per ounce for se'- oral wears to come, by virtue of the Pitman Act; knowing these tunda- mentals are right they are not heSita- tine to go abroad and be ready 70 eaiI with the flood-tide of prosperity Thov are not waiting for the tune c..n,llv to be at hand before lnltlat- ing the venture.

RETURN OF SIS
PER CENT NEW
RAIL ALLOWANCE
Another Important De-
cision Effective July l
Is g1anded Down By the
Interstate Commerce
Commission At Wash
ington

Washington, May 24.-The Inter.
state Commerce Commission today
decided that railroads are entitled to
earn 3-4 per cent on the value of
railway property, compared with six
Ter cent which was made the reason
able return standard under the trans
portation act and ordered railroad
rates in eastern territory cut approx
imately IA per cent effective July 1.
In the matter OF reasonable re-
turn the commission pointed out that
until March 1. 1922, railroads had
been legally entitled to six per cent
annual earnings on the aggregate
value of property used in transporta-
tion. The sum was fixed by the
transportation act as the amount
equal to five and one half per cent
with one half one per cent addition
al to be granted in the discretion of
the commission for provisions for i'm
provements and betterments for the
railroad. The commission exercis-
ed this discretion and the reasonable
return consequently has generally
been known as "the six per cent re-
turn.
The commission in modifying the
fair return standard reviewed testi-
mony taken by it in the general rate
case and concluded that a substall-
tial reduction in the percentage re-
turn might be unsettling in it's ef-
feet in view of the fact that the re-
turn allowed in 1920 was not realiz-
ed.
I'VE may realize that a return of
SIS per cent" said the commissioner
after deducting the federal corpora
ton income tax on a return of six
per cent, would be approximately the
equivalent of a return of six per cent
out of which the federal income tax
was payable.
In this connection the commission
concluded that it's 1920 estimate Oh
the aggregate value of railway prop
erty in the country, which was $751;
900, 100000 for rate making purposeb
could still be used Any advance since
would be immaterial as to earnings.
A dissenting opinion objected to
the rate allowed and expressed the
opinion that it should not exceed SIS
per cent and that in any case the
commission should not set a value
at the present time.
In my judgment the general reduc-
tions now decreed fall short of fun
attainment of the desired end" he
said. "The present level of rates
on basic articles-should be mater
tally reduced"
Commissioner Eastman said that
the decision should have been will.
held to await action by the railroat
labor board on pending applications
for the reduction in wage scales. Com
missioner Lewis though dissenting, re-
marked that "the decision of the con.
mission that rates be reduced is unan
imous." Commissioner Potter said
that during the early stages of our
deliberations it was his opinion that
$50 called basic commodities"
should be given preferential reduc-
tions but that he had now developed
by further consideration objection to
such q course.

FOR POWER COUNTY.
The Power County Bill is before
the legislature. 1t has merit and
should pass. The object of government
is to benefit and accommodate the gov
erned. The first legislature of the
territory of Idaho began it's work by
creating counties.
No proposed new county ever appeal
ed to the legislature with a more
righteous cause than Power. She has
the wealth and population to justify a
new county. No commo interests
exist between the sections asking to
be served and the parent counties, and
all are located SO i~nconveniently and
far from their respective county
seats as to receive the minimum bene-
fits Of government at the maximum
cost.
The people Of the proposed new
county feel confident it will be Great
ed, basing their confidence solely upon
the business of their cause. Fairness
appeals to American ideals, and the
greatest good to the greatest number
is their standard Of action.

SHOULD WHEAT BE TAXED
WHEN HELD FOR SPECIALIZATION

A nice point in public policy is rails
ed this week by Carl Rudeen and fur
Their amplified by Commissioner Ear
ing and John w. Allen of the Wheat
growers Association, 1t is, in the
opinion of the Press, a really vital is
sue and one that merits serious
thought and attention. In the present
effort to reduce taxes one paramount
remedy suggested is that all property
be assessed in an equitable manner It
is estimated by no less an authority
than former congressman Regain of
Illinois a tax expert who has been
touring the west, that taxes can be
reduced one third if all taxable pro-
perty is placed IN the assessment roll.
1t appears to be a matter of common
policy that wheat in terminal eleva-
tors should not be assessed. But it is
also a matter of common knowledge
that wheat held for speculation in sec
ondary elevators is subject to taxa
ton regardless of what the policy in
the past has been.
The defense is made by Mr.. Rudeen
hat if wheat is taxed in the secondary
elevator while still in the hands of
the farmer it al a double tax on
the producer for eventually the tax
will be considered by the elevator com
pany in the price it pays for the wheat.
There is merit to this contention.
The county commissioners and asses
sor maintain that all property is as
sesable and are investigating to find
out what the general policy is among
the other counties of the state. Here
is a possible source of tax money that
has not been touched and is easily
available. The question is an interest
ing one and one that will undoubtedly
receive due attention in the months
to come.

LET Us HAVE THE
NAKED TRUTH.

Walker d. Hines, former Director
General of Railroads under govern
ment management, is now dragged
shrieking to the public pillory by the
Association of Railway Executives and
told that his report regarding the con-
dition in which the government turned
owe the roads to their owners is un-
true. Always suave, of course, the
railway heads do not fatty allude to
Mr.. Hines as a falsifier, but delicatly
describe his statement as "a fiction re-
presenting an extraordinary distortion
of cats" This is followed by a mass
of statistics to show that the govern
ment handed over the railroad wreck
age in such condition that only the
income from higher freight rates will
save the day and put the service once
more in workable order.
In conformity with the recognized
rules governing campaigns of propa-
ganda these statements are sent broad
cast to the newspapers for publica-
ton and general consumption. We're
the publishers of newspapers to feed
to the public all the propaganda pap
that reaches them there would 500

Shob uAA5hb NduoO oCllOub 1uI6Iudl us
turbance. In this case however, it may
be well to consider the statement of
the roads because the people want the
facts. 1t will be interesting to learn
what Mr.. Hines has to say in reply, but
the voice we want most to hear in con-
nection with the railroad situation is
the voice of the farmer. Perhaps we
may get this concretely before the peo-
pie through the avenue of the agricul-
tural bloc. If freight rates are re-
sponsible for much of the high cost of
foodstuffs to the consuming public and
the cause of low prices for foodstuffs
when bought from the faremr, if they
make the farmer pay more for what he
has to buy and get less from what he
has to sell then the appeal of the
roads would seem ripe for the ash
heap. Some other way must be found
to rehabilitate the roads. Perhaps
turning the spigot for a time might
have some effect. The economists of
the Senate should diagnose the case
language the people can understand
and then perform whatever operation
may be recognized as wise without de-
lay. The rights of the railroads must
not be i%nfringed, but the benefit of the
public must be the first consideration.
Off hand it looks as if the interest OF
the people and the interest of the
are n and indiVisible.
