SILVER CRISIS PASSING.

irene Leon of Guaranty Trust Co.,
New York;.
The Pittman act has been negligible
as a price influence for the supply
thus shut off has been compensated
for by abnormal supplies from other
sources. Silver released by debase-
ment of British coin from 1926 fine to
500 fine has been steadily marketed
since the step was decided upon and
the process viii probably be complet-
ed about the time the Pittman act
ceases to operate.
A constant stream OF silver has also
come from central and eastern Europe
is thrown on the market, the world
will be fairly stripped of the metal
India, China and the United States
will have the only stocks of import
ance, while most of Europe will be
facing the problem of rehabilitating
paper currencies and restoring the
gold standard.
1t is well to bear in mind that the
road from paper to gold is always
likely to be paved with some silver.
The time is not distant when the ex-
chequers of several important nations
will be obliged to resort to the mint in
lieu of the printing press If any
doubt exists on this score the alacTity
with which the 10000 900 inhabitants
of central and eastern Europe ex-
change their rubles, marks, kroners
and what nots for the humblest silver
coin should be sufficient proof.
Looking at the situation in its
broadcast aspect we can not fail to
.ecognize that the forces that are
irving silver downward are fast los
ng momentum and that silver, in
stead of being headed for a crisis, is /
travelling that very crisis now. If the |
nd is not at hand it lies in the not far
Instant future. When the turn comes
liver will be required for shipment
n part payment for eastern goods
nd labor and the world will then
eek the metal at its source, for of
valuable stock there are few oil this

KELLER IN HIS HOME STATE.
(Minneapolis JournaD

1t will be a pity if Representative
Keller of Minnesota can not be
brought to reckoning before the bar
of the house for his nouting of the
summons to appear before the judi
ciary committee for testimony on his
impeachment charges against Attor-
ney General Daugherty. Ostensibly
because the committee did not COM
port itself in the way Keller thought
it should the Minnesotan, pretending
to be much abused, quit his role of
accuser with the air of a spoiled child
deserving a good spanking. Since he
publicly called in question the honor
and sincerity of the attorney general,
he ought not to complain if others
are disposed to question his motives
IN defying the committee officially
charged with the duty of investigat-
ng his accusations.

LlNcOLN'S BIRTHDAY AND To-
CAL REPUBLICANS.

For many years the republicans OF
Shoshone county have honored the
memory of Lincoln by holding a get
together banquet on his birthday and
it is presumed that the custom will be
followed this year, although so far as
this paper is advised no definite steps
have been taken in that direction. It
is particularly desirable that the oc-
casion should be celebrated this year
It is evident now that our democratic
friends will make a desperate assault
upon the republican national and
state administrations in the hope of
gaining control in the next election.
In fact, these assaults are now being
made in congress and in the state leg
stature, as well as through the dem
ocratic press of the country. In or
Ter to be prepared for these attacks
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1923-01-25

republicans in every county should
meet on Lincoln's birthday and re-
new their fealty to the republican par
ty in preparation for the battle to re-
tain control of state and nation Com
mittees should be appointed without
further delay TO arrange for the ban
quet and special efforts should be
made to have the party represented
from all parts of the county. These
annual meetings always have an in
spring program, are enjoyable social
ly and always tend to promote good
fellowship and better understanding
among republicans of the county.

APPLY WHlTE-WASH BRUSH TO
LA TOILETTE.

The LaFollette- controlled legisla-
ture of the state of Wisconsin seems
to think that it is only necessary to
burn the paper containing the record
of Senator LaFollette's seditious atti-
tude during the war to make him
patriot in the eyes of his countrymen.
The members of that august body do
not seem to realize that in trying to
white-wash LaFollette they are in
fact simply tarring themselves with
the same disloyalty stick that black
ened the name of LaFollette. The ac-
ton of the Legislature is gratifying to
LaFollette, but it will not help his
standing outside of his own state, and
there he doesn't need any help, for he
is the state politically.

SHOP MEN STILL PAYING FOR A
LOST CAUSE.

A railroad official says that the
biggest suckers" he ever heard of
are the shopmen on his road who
went on strike last summer. This is
the way he describes their actions:
"They went out on strike at the insti-
cation of Jewell and lost Now they
come back to work without seniority,
at the same wages as when they quit,
and, in addition. turn over about $40
month out of their salary to this
same Jewell to help him fight the
strike on other roads where the men
are still on strike with no chance to
win"
The lamb-like way in which those
men have been led around and shear
ed by Jewell finds counterpart in
many other trades. So long as wage
earners persist in laying aside their
intelligence and permitting profess
sional disturbers like Jewell to do
their thinking for them there is little
chance for them to advance the cause
Of labor in public opinion, without
which they can make no progress.

MINING AND THE SCHEDULE OF
APPROPRIATIONS.

The Miner has received from the
governors Office a tabulation of ap-
preparations made by the last session
of the Legislature showing amount
appropriated. amount expended. and
the amounts requested by the depart
ments from the present session to-
gether with increase or decrease Of
amounts appropriated by the last
session, and the tentative amounts
recommended by Governor Moore. It
is an interesting and comprehensive
showing. and a blue pencil mark
around the total appropriated by the
last session and total recommendations
the present executive emphasizes the
point to which the governor evident
~ desires to draw special attention.
The difference between the two totals
is s1,794SO the amount that would
be saved in direct appropriations by
the adoption of Governor Moore's re-
concentrations. No further evidence
is needed to convince the people of
Idaho that the governor is determin-
ed to use every power at his COM
mand to tighten the financial load |
they are carrying. and the Miner /
again reiterates its cordial sympathy /
with his most commendable efforts, (
even though it feels called upon to
point out some inequalities in the dis
tribution of funds in the appropria--
tons recommended by him.

A REAL GOVERNOR.
Butte Miner)

Butte Miner)
When it comes to being real exec
utive who appreciates what the peo-
pie want and is determined to obey
their will, Montana can look across
the line into Idaho with feelings Of
envy.
The story of what Governor c. G.
Moore. who has just taken Office in
Montana's neighboring state. did in
the way of cutting expenses is told in
brief Associated Press dispatch
printed on the front page Of the Miner
yesterday.
This dispatch is as follows:
Boise, Jan. S.-With one stroke Of
his pen today C. c. Moore, governor,
stopped the activities of the state con-
stabulary and the department Of i'm
migration, labor and statistics and
removed from the state pay roll the
names of 22O employees of the state
bureau of highways. designations of
all highway employees have been ask
ed for on or before January 20 and
they will be effective January 81. The
bureau will be reorganized and reap
pointments made between January 20
and 81"
That is the kind of a governor that.
Montana needs at this time and has
not got.
1t appears unfortunate for the citi-
zens of this commonwealth that there
is no provision of law under which
this state could borrow the Idaho ex-
ecutive for "a hours. for in that brief
period of time he could accomplish /
more for the people in the way of
economy than Governor Dixon will |
ever do if he remains as executive |
during his natural lifetime.
The first consideration of the Mon /
tana executive is to create new Off |
ees rather than to abolish old ones, in
order that he may have more patron
age to give out and thus strengthen
MS political machine in this state.
Idaho's new governor evidently is
making a conscientious effort to serve
lis people rather than to play politics
He is setting an example that is
iure to prove most unpopular with
executives of the self-seeking kind.
The way to clean the state house is
o clean it, and this is the method that
Governor Moore has adopted.

But even more surprising is the at
titude of the governor toward mining
as one of the great natural resources
of the state. As indicated above he
evidently regards the inspector as a
sort OF safety first" man whose work
has no bearing upon the development
of the mineral resources Of the state;
and further. by reference to the next
subdivision of the schedule of appro-
priations the conclusion necessarily
follows that the development of the
mineral resources. in the estimation
of the governor, is not of sufficient
importance to warrant an appropria-
ton for the purpose. Under the head

cANcELLINe ENeLAND's DEBT.

Mr.. eastman, who moves and has
his being in the neighborhood of Wall
street, makes this suggestion:
Various eminent Englishmen have
col1e here to suggest that England's
debt to the United States be wiped
out. They put it tactfully but that is
what IL means.
1.-The money lent to England was
raised by selling bonds the people of
this country viii be taxed to redeem
those bonds with interest. Whatever
Europe doesn't pay of our debt the
American taxpayers must pay. How
would England welcome this sugges-
ton?
Instead of canceling the debt to
the United States, why not cancel the
public debt of England?
1.-THE British empire owes its own
subjects more than it owes the United
States. Why not cancel that debt at
home. and pay the debt abroad. the
latter being more a debt of honor
than the home debt?
Would the English welcome the
that their claim on the
British government be cancelled, as /
Kindly as they welcome the sugges-
ion that Americans be taxed five /
thousand millions of dollars to can /
eel the United States claim on the
British government"
That's an interesting sugges ton.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1923-01-25

II is not the intention of this paper
to question the motives of Governor
Moore On the contrary we believe
he is acting in perfect sincerity in his
efforts to reduce the tax burden of
the people of the state, but in his zeal
to accomplish that end we believe he
has unwittingly been unfair to the
mining industry of the state The
governor must know something of the
magnitude of the mineral and kindred
resources of the state; that Idaho is
essentially a mining state, and that
the development and utilization of its
latent mineral resources is a matter
of the highest Importance to a large
element of the population direct and
indirectly to every citizen of the state.
Knowing this how can the governor
reconcile the elimination of the only
appropriation asked for this purpose,
$50. OOO while recommending 81 per
cent Of the total amount asked for
and development of ag-
ricultural resources? If these recon-
are carried out, the min
ng resources so far as the investiga-
ion of new fields and reports on their
are concerned, will re-
'eive no attention for the coming two
ears. The mine inspector will of
curse. continue to function, but with
mt sufficient funds to make his work

Day after day for months preceding
