POINT OVERLOOKED.

Nobody called attention to the fact,
but it was noticeable to the White
Pine News, that at the meeting the
other night Utah was assumed to
have the perfect right and power to
say what should be a primary high
way and what should be no highway
at all, yet Governor Scrugham's veto
of the Lincoln highway bill set forth
that a state as such had no such
right.
The difference appears TO be not
so much the ethics or law of the
matter, but in the amount OF blood
content in the eye in going about it
to do things whether OF nc.
Governor Scrugham holds that I
bill such as Neyada's legislature
passed is of no force, Where Utah
got its warrant of authority for do
ing exactly the same thing. with or
without legal enactment, no one at
tempted to explain.
And as contended in last weeks is
she of the News, Governor Scrugham
defines a primary highway as being
an interstate road. The point ex-
actly. The Reno Journal had just
said-and the News challenged it.
that it mattered not whether the Lin
coin highway be a primary or a sec
ondary highway, both being entitled
to the same amount Of government
aid. The News answer was that II
the Lincoln were made a secondary
highway in Nevada, Utah would take
that ground to refuse to build a on
nection. According to Mr.. Scrugham's
definition it would have a legal right
TO do this.

of which are being squandered in \
heartless and criminal for
tho purpose of squeezing the last
penny out Of the earth for the sole
purpose of adding it to the dividends
Of present-day monopolies and per-
sons already possessed of millions Of
times more wealth than they ever
can use, literally stealing 1t from
generations yet unborn.
To the minds of the money glut-
tons of today every right of present
and future generations sinks into
lnothingness as compared with their
right to fitch every last dollar from
beneath the soil and leave a condi-
ttion of d%epravity whose only logical
Terminus must be submerging of the
american national life and extinction
Of the best of the human race.
During the hours OF their glnttony
it is nothing to these minds IL the
highest world civilization is debased
1t is nothing to them II the once
proud American manhood is bred
down to the pigmy mind or physique
of the lowest human forms, down to
tho Asiatic or Kafir. Dollars. these
now and these alone, count as argyll
nents. To them it matters not
whether these alleged laberers ever
labor when they are permitted to
come, or If they are mere crooked
traders whose purpose in coming is
10 fasten their alleged ideals of bust
ness on the country. 1t matters not
if they are upon revolution bent and
come Il o%verturn and bolshevize this
government. The cry is, Let them
in. Let them in. We must have
them because there is a labor short
agei" and this because the E. H.
Garys and the Coleman Da Pcits
have said SO.
II is high time to stop this legis-
lating in behalf Of these false dc
velopers of our resources" who In
fact are their despoilers, and to leg
islate for the good of the American
people. Let Americans develop the
resources. They will do It fast
enough.

OUR RESOURCES

Capital must be encouraged tn
develop our resources" used to be
the cry, especially in the west when
laws were being debated for the free
ing of corporate interests from taxa.
ton. giving railways free rights of
way and immense land grants. per-
hitting big milling and logging ron
Germs to locate timber land through
the agencies of dummies and in gen.
eral to appropriate TO their own use
the patrimony that was provided by
a bountiful nature for all the people.
Every once In a while some person
springs a new one. and this week 1t
was E, II. Gary, head of one of the
most gigantic organizations on the
face of the earth. who in a piece OF
prepared propaganda tent out as an
Associated Press dispatch demanded
THAT the restrictive immigration law
be not enforced and that congress re-
peal 1t in order to bring in foreign
labor Ito develop our resources"
Yesterday 1t was capital and that
only was competent to develop Amer
lean resources. Today only the on
scourings OF the earth, the pauper
labor of southern Europe, are capable
Of turning that celebrated trick.
Mr.. Gary is sounding that old
trombine. Shortage of labor He
did not play 1t as a solo for more
than a day when, If press reports
from the white house are reliable,
President Harding took up the tune
and Joined in and with his f flat
makes Ii a duet, and the words of the
melody are the same--"shortage of
'abor" and European paupers must
be let in, the law to the contrary not
w~ithstanding, TO develop our re-
sources"
Secretary OF Labor Davis Is given
the credit OF saying that there Is no
shortage Of labor as yet, but that
one threatens and therefore Is pos
sible. II then the presidents atti-
tude has been correctly described he
wishes to let in the European hordes

may be seen whether or not the
threat becomes a reality.

American people want no more i'm

and are in the mood to stand pat.

slightly insulting letters, but he
failed to reckon upon what the other
fellow might do. Nat Boas. the big
athletic Jewish broker who had boxed
many times with Jim Corbett, re-
ceived one of Barton's literary mas
lerpieces through the mail and when
shortly after he met Barton and Billy
pittman on Bush street the skilled
boxer started in on Barton without
gloves. 1t was not Billy's fight any,
way and at that Batron was not his
brother, but his cousin, and for prob
ably Ter reasons he kept out OF
1t, one of them being the enormous
crowd that gathered. No policeman
showed UP in time to prevent Nat
from taking Barton to a thorough
cleaning, and that was about the last
ever heard of the latter as a broker.
Billy told me when he came back
TO Tonopah that Barton was out
classed from the start.
Some years afterward it was re-
ported that Barton had worked as \
reporter for the Seattle Post-1nte1h
gencer, upon which paper I had
worked for years before. but nobody
has heard of him since.
DIR. L. T. Brock, formerly of Ely,
who now resides at Las Vegas, Is A
native of San Francisco. Several
years ago he spent a winter at New
York. taking a postgraduate course.
Talking with one of the medical in
struetors at the clinic where he was
attending the instructor made a dep
recating remark about the west.
Don't like Ii out west. Don't like
it. Hup. hup,' said the New York
doctor.
What part of the west have you
been in?" DR.. Brock asked him.
Been all over the west. Hup,
hup. Don't like 1t. Hup, hup. Don't
like it," said the New Yorker, In
basso tones.
How far west have you been?s
asked the San Franciscan.
Been clear out TO Pittsburg. Hup.

Barton had been saying TO me that
he wished he could find a hacker with
thirty or forty thousand dollars and
then he could make all kinds of
money, but the trouble would be that
the partner would want too much out
Of tat least half the markings, as
he put II.
Now see here" I said to Barton,

II was Barton Pittman & Co. and
things were going swimmingly, with
not only tho $4,000 cash to play on
but practically unlimited bank credit
besides.
1t so happened that Mr.. Loekhart
was OF the same mind with Barton
as to playing the short side. He mad

wonderful fact that the II REPUBLICANS
have no one to offer for the guberna-

party and force a Democrat to the
governors office.
This talk ! all very pretty and is
very pleasing their readers, and so
far AS they have gone over the pros

plenty of leeway for cir arguments.

names of Hallanan, England, Young,
