GREAT BRITAIN AND THE sPoILs
OF WAR.

While France is being condemned
in some quarters for her firm deter
mination to force Germany to pay
reparation claims. we hear little of
the vast territorial acquisitions of
Great Britain in Africa in the course
Of discussion Of war reparations.
Consideration OF these might throw
some light on the somewhat passive
attitude of the British government
toward France in her struggle to col
lect from Germany. BY control of a
stretch of territory from the Cape Of
Good Hope to the mouth of the Nile,
Great Britain controls practically all
inland transportation, and. as a con-
sequence, the greater part of the
ocean transportation. British capital

directly or indirectly. the resources of
that continent will be added to the
wealth of the British empire. Ameri-
cans make no complaint of that but
it would be just as well to recognize
the fact in discussion of the problems
growing out of the war.

HARD TO FIND HOMES IN coEUR
D'ALENES.

The scarcity of residences for rent
in Kellogg. Wallace and Mullan has
become so acute that it is now
serious obstacle in the way of Sc
curing men for the mines. and it will
doubtless become more pronounced a
few weeks later when the Hecla com
pany will resume production and re-

lace is concerned, the board Of trade
has for long time wrestIed with the
problem of providing homes in Wal
lace primarily for employees of the
canyon mines. but no tangible results
have so far been accomplished. A
permanent home building committee
has been appointed by the board, and
at a recent meeting the chairman
stated that the committee expected to
take definite steps soon toward carry
ing out the home building program
adopted by the board. II is a matter
of the greatest interest to the business

1.-THE fact that there is a great lack

to the undertaking of these studies

there is an altogether mistaken notion

WOODROW WILSON A PATHETIC
FIGURE.

The addresses by Woodrow Wilson
on Armistice day, broadcasted to the
nation and delivered direct to an as
semblage of his faithful followers,
were little more than the egotistical
rawlings Of a hopelessly disappointed
man, the unrestrained outburst of a
once well balanced and imperious
mind wracked by bitter resentment
and distressing physical inhrmities.
The ex-president presented a pa
thetic figure as he came from seclu-
sion for the first time in many months
on the fifth anniversary of the close
OF the war. and it is to the credit of
the press and people that they have
generally refrained from severe criti-
cism of his Incorporate expressions.
BY insisting upon the Incorporation
Of the league of nations as part of
the treaty of Versailles, he placed a

the senate which nothing but his own
over mastering conceit could obscure.
Disappointed and disgruntled by de-
feat in the senate, he appealed to the
people to sustain his visionary scheme
of internationalism as represented by
the league of nations, only to meet a
more crushing defeat at the polls in
the form of over seven million ma
iority against him. And now in the
midst of the strife and turmoil in
Europe, which emphasizes the wisdom
of the American people in refusing
to become entangled in European al |
Iiances. Woodrow Wilson, still living |
in his world of Impractical idealism |
and oblivious TO the stubborn facts in
the real world about him, tells those
who are giving their best efforts to

Considerable indignation has been
stirred up within recent months by
published reports that American

remains of thousands of American

Of cemeteries in France, that there is

Miner presents it herewith IN fun:
Government Finances.
Washington, Nov. 10, 1928
Dear Mir. tfreen: In accordance
with the request which you made
shortly after the adjournment of Con-
gress, the Treasury has heen en-
gagged for the past few months in con-
sidering the possibilities of tax re-
vision and in developing recommen-
dations for the simplifcation of the
law. The situation has developed
more favorably than was anticipated
and l am now presenting to you a
comprehensive program to which |
hope the Committee on Ways and
Means will be able to give considera-
ton at the outset Of the legislative
session.
The fiscal years 1922 and 1928 have
each closed with a surplus of about
S31O,OO0,000 over and above all ex-
penditures chargeable against ordi-
nary receipts, including the sinking
fund and other similar retirements of
the debt. This has been possible
only through the utmost cooperation
between the Executive and Congress,
as well as among the executive de- |
partments and establishments, all of |
whom have united in a sincere effort |
to reduce the expenditures of the !
Government At the same time there |
has been a substantial amount of |
realization upon securities and other
assets remaining over from the war.
and the Treasury has succeeded in
collecting customs and internal reve-
aue taxes in amounts somewhat ex-
,eeding original expectations. The
esult is that the government of the
United States is firmly established on
he basis of having balanced its bud
ret each year since the cessation of
lOstilities, with a reasonable surplus
ach year after providing for fixed
harges like the sinking fund, and
lands squarely committed to the
olicy of including these fixed charges
n account of the public debt in its
budget each year. thus as
uring an orderly reduction of the T
ar debt out of current revenues.
What has been done during the two >
ears since the establishment of the
udget system shows clearly what 2
nited effort can accomplish, and
ives every reason for hope that the h

FIRE PROOF ROOFS IN BERKELEY
FIRE.

Investigations made by the fire I'M
derwriters' association since the great
fire at Berkeley. California, prove the
value of fire proof roofs under the
severest tests. Numerous statements
have been obtained from residents of
Berkeley within the fire area to the
effect that their homes escaped de-
struction solely through the protec-
ton given by fire proof roofs. They
cost a little more than wood shingles.
but once placed they require no re-
pairs and last life time The city
council of Berkeley learned its lesson
at heavy cost and will not wait for
O repetition, for il is stated that an
ordinance has been passed requiring
bre proof roofs on all new buildings.
Such an ordinance is under consider
alton by the Wallace council and it
should be passed. But whether it is
passed OF not. it is good business to
use fire proof roofing. and especially
zinc roofing, for it has every desired
quality and is made from metal pro-
duced by our own mines.

Working Up TaiIinns.

South Africa, home of the diamond
and with great gold mines, finally
is working up the "tailings" or dumps
from earlier and cruder operations
In Kimberly, for instance, many
small diamonds are being recovered
from the town streets which for
years were filled and repaired with
dirt excavated from the diamond
mines One block alone is said to
have yielded more than $4,000 in
gems.
In the Rand. where gold is mined
extensively. electrical hoists built in
America are hauling out 100000 tons
of ore a month instead of the best
previous amount of a bare 100000
tons. Automatic checks prevent the
driver from running the hoist too
fast and also check the elevator when
it reaches the proper height Each
hoist brings up 10000 pounds of ore

reduction of the ordinary expendi-
lures of the Government to a total
of not more than $500, 900, 600, of
which about $5OO,OOO.OOO will be fixed
charges on account of the sinking
fund and other retirements of the
debt To do this means reductions
of about $4,000, 900 in the estimates
of expenditures submitted by the
spending departments and establish
ments and the exercise of continued
pressure all along the line for the ut
most economy and efficiency in the
operations of the Government.
Having these things in mind, the
Treasury has been canvassing the es-
Inmates for the present fiscal year
and for the succeeding fiscal years
with view to determining on the one
hand what other reductions in ex-
penditures it would be safe to count
on in developing a tax-revision pro-
gram, and on the other hand what
receipts might reasonably be expected
on the basis of existing law, assum-
ing that no charges were to be made
in Internal taxes. In doing this it
has had TO keep in mind that under
present conditions receipts from Gus
toms are abnormally high and that
surplus war supplies have now been
for the most part liquidated, leaving
relatively little to expect on this ac-
count in the years to come 1t has
also had to keep in mind that many
Of the internal revenue taxes, as for
example, the higher brackets of the
surtax are so rapidly becoming un-
productive that it is unsafe to assume
that even with no changes in the law
the revenues from internal taxes
would be maintained. After taking
into account all these considerations
and making the most conservative es-
Inmates about the yield of existing
taxes and the possibilities of further
reductions in expenditures, it appears
that for this year. and for the next
four or five years. there should be a
surplus of something over s30000O,OOO

lures chargeable to the ordinary bud

lives a reasonable margin not merely
or tax revision but also for tax re-

On this basis the Treasury has the
recommendations to make;
I. Make 25 per cent reduction in
he tax on earned income.-The fair
ess of taxing more lightly income

ervices than the income from
usiness or from investment is be-

TRAINING YOUNG ENGINEERS
Z. 8 NJ. Journal-Press.

]
One of the practical difficulties il
the education of mining engineers i:
the provision for contact with actua
mining operations. Many of the min
ing schools require undergraduates tC
spend the summer interims. wholly OF
in part, in work in mines. Others, in
addition to this requirement, attempt
to operate an underground excavation
in the near vicinity of the school and
demonstrate therein timbering and
rock breaking. Excursions to mining
districts are also resorted to. There
is evident a sincere effort to acquaint
the mining student with real sub
stratum upon which to visualize his
college work.
Mining companies have cooperated
TO a greater or less extent with col
lege authorities in opening opportuni-
ties for students to acquire a know
ledge of practical operations Re-
Gently the United Verde Copper Co.
has offered TO take a limited number
of mining graduates and students on
the basis of a two-year period to be
devoted to practical mining. The
company plans to give the student
while working. an intimate knowl-
edge of practical mining details. The
mine work will be supplemented by
semi-monthly lectures on pertinent
subjects. The offer is restricted to
those who have the necessary physi-
cal ability This is in our opinion
better post graduate course than can
be offered by the college. We vent
ure to say that a student who has
