SILVER PURCHASES
!. FOR MINT DELAYED
Scobey Stops Buying Under
Pittman Act Until Check
of Supply on Hand.

Director Scobey of the mint has
announced that purchase of sill,
yer under the Pittman act would
worked out to assure the most
equitable treatment to American
producers of silver in buying about
1350,000 more ounces of silver at 81
an ounce under the Pittman act, pro-
viding for a total of 200.000,000
ounces.
The announcement means that the
government has practically concluded
another phase Of its wartime fnanc-
ing through the replacement of al
most all of the silver loaned to Great
Britain in 1918 to stave off a threat
ened rebellion in India. 1t means
also, officials believe, that the Treas
ury will be out of the silver market
as a buyer, except for immaterial
amounts, for several years.
Tuesdays purchases under the Pitt
man act amounted to more than 1,000,-
ounces yet to be acquired. But all
offers accepted thus far have been
on the basis of estimated quantities,
and Treasury officials are convinced
the required 20O,000.0O0 ounces have
been almost IL not wholly replaced.
While the Treasury has suspended
further purchases until it can ascer-
tain the exact amount purchased,
Director Scobey of the mint, however
will continue to receive tenders until
June Is. filing such offers in the order
of their receipt until it is known how
much additional silver, if any, is re-
quired All offers in excess of the
amount needed will be rejected.

complished successfully by either the
state or the government but it must
be brought about by the farmers them
selves. The remarkable part is that
Mr.. Townley admits so frankly the les
IONS he has learned.
The suggestion which he makes of
the farmers handling their own bust
ness is a most valuable point. Farm
organizations properly managed as
business corporations can do a great
deal to help solve the farmers mar
keting and buying problems.
This is just the opposite of social
ism, for under socialism the wasteful
hand of politics controls. while under
cooperative enterprises where the peo-
pie directly interested make the profit
or stand the loss. efficient business
management must control.
In these days of ~socialistic agitation
it would be well for the proponents Of
such measures to consider Mr.. Town
statements as he has previously
been a leader in the movement to So
cialize industries.

thizes not only with the plight of the
Boise Valley Traction company and
the Caldwell Traction company, but
every other %interurban road that finds
itself today face to face with a fight
for existence.
Aided by a public that is willing to
spend millions on its highways and
an automobile industry whose virility
and development have exceeded any
thing in American history, trucks and
motor busses threaten to send electric
lines to the scrap heap.
Mr.. Ring made a clean case for the
Boise Valley Traction company be-
fore Caldwell business men last Thurs
day. Either this Interurban line must
go out of existence or the truck and
bus competition must be curbed. There
is nc alternative. For not wen a pub
lie utility can continue to operate.
each year piling up a greater and
greater deficit.
MIR. Ring is right when he says that
trucks and buses cannot handle all
the business. Not even the most ar
dent supporter Of the motor industry
viii make such a contention in the face
of such experience as the Boise Valley
underwent two years & when, de-
spite good roads, transportation was
impossible except by rail. Roads were
seas OF mud, not for days or weeks,
but for months. The i~nterurban lines.
we all agreed then. were of tremen-
dous value in maintaining some SEM
blance of normal business in the Boise
Valley. And that situation may be
duplicated any winter.
One essential argument favoring the
i%nterurban lines that Mr.. Ring did not
advance is none the less pertinent.
Trucks pay no taxes aside from an
annual license that is small enough.
So far as tax rolls are concerned, au-
tomobiles do not exist. And yet they
on roads which tax money
rom electric lines helped to build. In
'ther words, the Boise Valley Trac-
company has helped to finance
highways whose competition is d.,v-
ng the electric lines to the scrap heap.
Mr.. Ring believes that some day a
plan of operation may
'e worked u that will permit life to
traction companies and trucks also. I

Right to "Cuss" the Gov
eminent

The safeguard of America is a fire,
press, tree speech and free courts.
The. Chicago Tribune severely crit
oized the city administration of Chi.
cago and the public officials sued il
Tor Sl,O0O,OO0 damages on ground that
they were the city.
In unfolding and defining the rights
OF the press, the state supreme court
holds that 1T is a fundamental prin-
ciple OF the American government that
every citizen has a right to criticize
the government and its administration
so long as he does not advocate over
throw OF existing government OF viola
ton of law. Liberty OF the press IS The
same thing as freedom of speech"
This is sound reasoning. The suit
was apparently an effort on the part of
public officials to idtimidate other
newspapers of less financial
and courage than the Tribune. This
decision does not mean that news
papers have license to make libelous
attacks on public officials: it means
that where a public official is injured
his remedy is to go into court as an in
citizen and not in the force
and name of the government. This
is something more than a victory for
a free press it reaffirms the right of
any citizen to condemn public admin
lstration when he believes it to be in
imical to the public interest.
