scRIeNER's FOR JANUARY

The world struggling to ward off
starvation a century hence, with a
control of birth-rate as the only alter
native. is the subject of a daring essay
by Edward NJ. East, author of MAN
kind at the Crossroads" in the Janu-
airy Scribner's. Mr.. East places
the problem of peace between our
two basic instincts nutrition and re
production, above all the schemes for
political, social, and economic read
justment which are being so hotly
debated now. In his essay Oversee
Politics and the Food Supply" he at
tacks his problem with enthusiasm
and conviction that compels even the
unwilling 10 face the facts which he
presents Malthusian consequences
cannot be escaped, he asserts. The
food which the tillable land of the
earth can produce a century from now
will be only just sufficient to feed the
population unless the birth-rate is
lowered. He admits that he does not
expect the nations to exhibit any signs
of civilization in this respect.
There are some who will protest Mr..
Easts article, and win say that such
control is not signs of civilization"
but OF degeneracy. Many fund
amentalists" will object. There are
many who confuse religion with the
ology, who refuse to look at facts
squarely, who refuse to think straight
To those. Doctor Henry S. Pritchett's
essay. "Copernicus and the Funda-
in the same member of
the magazine is suggested. 1t is a
stirring indictment of those who have
pure hearts but crooked minds"
He characterizes the famous leader
of the movement against the teach
ing of evolution as perhaps the man
who has done most harm to our
political and economic thinking these
thirty years." a man whose inten-
tons have been amiable but whose
has lacked that patience OF |
hard work which alone brings under
standing" The fault then, lies in
immortality asserts Doctor I
Pritchett.

paratively few will vote on the Box

that the Box peace plan may receive

To the Miner the plan is more OBJ

view of the pronounced sentiment
against it, they stop at the threshold,
hoping that the universal desire for
peace viii obscure the real signih-

Possibly the vote now being taken

and it is not likely that congress will

MARKETING MINING STOCKS.
lE. and NJ. journal Pressl

A broker who specializes in mining
stocks writes US commencing US for
our attitude against unsound or I'M
scrupulous mining promotions. At
the same time, he says, the market
for legitimate mining stocks has al
most disappeared in Wall street. Be
tween the censorious attitude of in
vestment advisers and financial writ
ers toward mining stocks in general
and the exploitation of the greedy
and ignorant public by stock sharp
ers with shoddy mining schemes, it
seems to him that the middle ground
is squeezed pretty hard-the ground
occupied by the mining stocks Of real
investment or fair speculation value
sold on these bases and without ma
nipulation.
In truth, the problem is one that
might well be considered. The pub
lie should invest in mining enter
prises. No great industrial enter
prises nowadays can exist without
widespread public ownership. The
Steel corporation, the Pennsylvania
railroad, the American Telephone &
Telegraph company, Armour & Co,
are continually calling attention to
the thousands or hundreds of thous-
ands of their stockholders, showing
that except for the public purse, and
indeed the purse of the relatively
small investor, they could not exist.
How is the public to know what to
buy in mining stocks? The right
minded public likes to invest for pro-
fit-for dividends and to take
chance. The element of speculation
Is inherent in enterprise-in foreign
trade, farming, or the automobile in
dustry, quite as much as it is in min
ing; and this element is legitimate
one for the investor to accept. How
ever, he must get the best informa-
ton so that he can judge as well as
may be of the kind of outlook into
which he is buying, what is assured,
what is reasonably to be hoped, and
what is purely speculative. He has
little chance to get this information
nowadays. Only the largest mining
enterprises are listed on the New
York stock exchange; and in many of
these the element of speculation is as
large as for many of the little ones
outside.
Is the idea of a mining stock ex-
change one which has anything to
commend it? Such an exchange might
have a board of governors composed
of mining engineers, which would
permit only legitimate buying and
selling of mining stocks which it had
admitted to listing.

eoRAH's BATTLE CRY.
(Boise statesman)

Senator Borah is willing to be the
champion-or, if you please, the
"goat"-in the cause of tax reduction.
At New York Saturday he voiced his
campaign slogan and battle cry, RE
store the economic stability of the
country by lower taxes" And he
pledged himself to wage the unpOpu
lar fight which is to oppose all man
ner of pet projects. to fight the bonus,
to stand against the spending of more
money for the army and navy, to turn
his oratorical guns upon the creation
of new bureaus and departments.
Most others mouth their allegiance
to the idol of lower taxes. Every po-
litician speaks for the cause. Every
party will write tax reduction into its
program. But the senator from Ida
no proposes more than mere lip SER
vice Though it cost him friendships
and some votes and not little oppO-
sition from leaders of his own party
in the administration, he is going 10
continue to be "the great obstruction
list" SO far as projects for spending
more money are concerned.
Even his political enemies will re-
luctantly commend the senator for
this. 1t is a strong position to take
and a daring one. And it may well be
effectively taken, for the power of
Borah as an individual Is great in
congress. There are few orators to
equal him. No other one man in the
senate can make leaders of factions
so i'll at ease. And when it comes to
capacity for trouble making, the skill
of Senator Borah in this regard is for
midable. 1t will not be a futile war
he wages against those appeals for
appropriations which insidiously ex-
pand budgets and defeat tax reduc-
ton.
Whether Senator Borah did the eX-
pected thing in his speech, which was /
to. demonstrate his republicanism, /
need not be discussed just now. The |
problem of tax reduction is not par
tisan: it is in fact and truth Ameri- /
can. In taking the position he took,
the senator is not posing as a party
leader but as a leader of Americans,
a man to whom business men, whe-
Their republican. democratic or pro-
gressive. will look with kindness if
he lives up to his promises; and not
only business men, but industrial
leaders, commercial captains and far
mers. They will realize that here is
session in which the peculiar talents
Of the senator can be very useful to
he nation. when the need is for a
great INSTRUCTOR. and so they will be
glad for the position taken, for the
character of the man and for the bat
lie cry with which he enters the lists.

BOX PEACE AWARD LEADS TO
LEAGUE OF NATIONS.


Voting on the peace plan which re-
ceived the award from the Box COM
mission as being the best practicable
plan by which the United States may
cooperate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace of the
world would have been greatly sim
plihed it it had been submitted in the
form Of a proposal to join the league
of nations on condition that Articles
Y and XVI be either dropped alto
gether or so amended and changed
as to eliminate any suggestion Of a
general agreement to use coercion for
obtaining conformity to the PIECES Of
the covenant" That seems to be
about what the successful plan
amounts to. and that is what those
who cast their ballots in favor Of it
win be voting for, Recalling that
less than two years ago membership
in the league Of nations was rejected
by an overwhelming vote Of the AM
erican people. it would seem on the
face Of it that the Box plan. based
upon a cooperation with the league.
is doomed to a similar fate. There is
one thing, however that viii operate

soRAH ON TAX REDUCTION AND
THE BONUS.

In his great speech before the Ma
tional Republican club in New York,
Senator Borah not only reiterated and
emphasized his firm position in ia
vor of tax reduction, but in harmony
with that position he declared his
opposition to expenditures by the
government for the creation OF new
departments. bureaus and various
proposed activities, to increased ap-
preparations for the army and navy
and to the soldiers bonus. which he
characterized as the great obstacle
to tax reduction" Senator BOrah
said he found it impossible to divorce
the soldiers welfare from the welfare
OF the country at large. and that If
the real purpose is to assist the SOL
diers. he could conceive of no greater
benefit to them than that which would
follow the betterment of economic
conditions throughout the country
But the senator said he felt that II
was a mistake to regard the economic
argument as the most serious objec-
ton to the bonus. for he believed
that if the principle of the bonus
could be sustained. if it would be a
sound policy of government, "the
argument that it would necessitate
higher taxes would not be sufficient
ground for its rejection" And then
the Idaho senator struck the major
chord in his unanswerable argument
against the bonus:
IF that kind of service can be
paid for. if there is any rule of
compensation by which to fix the
value of such service: if 1t is
deemed wise and in the interest
of institutions which rest at last
upon the unpurchased and I'M
purchaseable devotion of the cit
izen-then let us call these
young men to the pay window
and at the same time apologize
for these five years of delay.
But there is a feeling prevail
ent in this country. q feeling shar-
ed by thousands of ex-service
men, that this pIttance, this be-
lated dole. is neither compensa-
ton nor gratitude. that the ex-
change the soldier is entitled to
receive must and will come. not
from the Golfers of the govern
ment, but from the hearts and
the minds of the people, and that
the acquittance which the sol
der is to give in return Is not a
treasury receipt. but sense OF
duty well performed.
THE cry raised by thousands
of ex-service men: For the dis
abled everything; for the able
bodied nothing is about as fine
q thing as men could 10. II
points in the right direction, for
if the soldier can give us a new
standard in public service, a bet
ter role in politics; If he can lift
the great American game above
the level of expediency and per-
sonal gain; If he can help give us
a political party which is not
afraid to lose an election. and a
breed of public men who are not
afraid to lose an office, the glory
of the past will not exceed that
of the future"

WHAT MINING INDUSTRY MEANS
TO THE STATE.

In the course of an address in
Butte the other day l.. o. Evans, head
of the legal department of the Ana
conda Copper Mining company gave
some interesting figures showing the
tremendous Importance of minipS as
contributing factor to the prosper
ity of the people OF Montana. Mr..
Evans said in part:
misunderstanding occur be-
tween the various elements of
Montana because Of lack of
knowledge. The average outsider
will be surprised to know that
the mining companies of Butte
alone spend on an average $780,
100000 a year in this state More
than half of this goes for wages.
1t is not spent in Butte alone.
but in the lumber camps, in the
coal fields, the smelling centers,
over widely distributed areas.
These companies employ, taxi
ing the good years with the bad
for purposes of striking an av-
erage 25,00O men. Allowing two
dependents for each wage Garner
over one-sixth of the states pop
ulation is directly maintained by
the mining companies.
Another angle, important for
the agricultural communities to
know. is that the city of Butte
spends sS.OOO,OOO each year for
farm produce"
This statement is reprinted be-
cause it applies with equal force to
Idaho. though the figures would be
considerably less. Year in and year
out millions of dollars are paid out
through mining operations in Idaho
in the form of wages for agricul-
tural products, for timber, for lumber
and for all manner of supplies and
material required in the development
and operation of mines, practically
all of which goes direct to the people
of the state. And while doing all
this, the mining companies are among
the heaviest taxpayers of the state
and at the same time are the direct
means of adding millions Of dollars
to the taxable wealth OF the state
through the building up of large and
permanent populations which depend
upon the successful operation of the
mines. These are matters that should
be understood by the people Of Idaho,
for although many of them live far
removed from the scene of mining
operations, they should realize that
they are nevertheless the benehciar-
is of mining 1t provides a market
for their products and contributes
heavily, directly and indirectly,
through taxation to the support Of
state and county government to the
schools, 40 the construction of high
ways, and in countless other ways to
the upbunding OF the commonwealth. 4

1t is in effect a repeal of the wise
system of our republic which vests
in the chief executive of the nation

Finally, in our opinion, the referen-
dunn, however well intentioned de-
serves condemnation as an effort, I'M

for the movement to create political
