term wasting industries as ap-
plying to mining and the VIM
ing of petroleum from the ground
Now it appears that this same
term, wasting industries" a
necessary tax classification, has
fastened itself upon the mineral
industries in such a manner as to
mislead the public.
The layman asks: What are
these industries wasting? If they
are wasteful. why should they
not be curbed?!" The politician
quickly takes advantage of this
opening and insists upon regula-
ton, says the Mining and Oil
Bulletin.
Is it waste to mine copper ore,
convert it into household and
electrical appliances which make
possible modern Improvements
and conveniences for the home,
farm and factory? The same con
dition applies to all other metals
whose use is basic to modern civ
ilization.
is it waste to take petroleum
from the ground and, from the
resulting oil and gasoline alone,
furnish the world with the fuels
that have revolutionized trans
portation by land and sea and in
the air-fuels that have simplif-
ed power transmission in count
less industries fuels that have
oeen the chief factor in the mod
ern expansion Of good roads?

A LESSON FROM
THE ELECTION.

The election Of President Cool
idge is the greatest evidence YET
offered to prove that the Ameri
can people think straight on basic
questions. The vote for Coolidge
was not a vote for the man SC
much as a vote for sound princi-
pies of government.
The present vote shows that
the American people cannot be
stampeded by professional politi-
cal practices which seek to cloud
the main issue.
The election year has a | S Q
shown that questions like t h e
tariff and discussion Of changes
in the Constitution no longer SER
iously disturb business and indus
tries as they have done in the
past. From the day of the nat
ional conventions our Country
has enjoyed confidence and the
stimulation of rising markets.
Candidates Davis, Coolidge and
LaFollette were all highly res
pected by the people for their
ability and sincerity as political
leaders, but all departures from
fundamental political traditions
were bitterly opposed and all in
clinations to try experiments at
public expense lost the propon-
ents public confidence.
All political parties would do
we'll to learn a lesson from this
election, namely, the voters are
able to differentiate between men
and measures and can no longer
be so easily fooled as some per-
sons think.
We will continue to advance
along the pathway to success I'M
der one flag, governed by a con-
stitution the equal of which has
not yet been written. if we for
get not the words of the Great
Emancinator, with Malice To-
ward None, With Charity for
ALL"
Let the public officials in power
'emember that they are only the
servants of the people and that
10 political party can survive ex-
.ept as it gives a better govern
nent to citizens who are daily
ecoming more enlightened on
questions.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-11-13

The elections are over and the
country can quiet down to a
steady pull for industrial growth
and development. In the long
run it is investments and pay
rolls which make prosperity and
fill the dinner bucket instead Of
POLITICAL curealls or radical activ-
ity Of any kind.

Question

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Lir-
lite hope is held out for immediate
action on the 20 per cent reduction
on income taxes as requested W
Presldent Coolidge, in special
message to congress yesterday.
In this message ne maze re-
quested OF congress today to adopt
immediately a resolution making
effective the rs per cent reduction
in personal income taxes payable
this year, now carried in the rev.
enue bill, but it met with an un-
encouraging response. This reduc-
ton was especially pronounced in
the house, where such legislation
would have to originate and whare
leaders yesterday turned down an
attempt to obtain such action.
The president urged, through a
message to congress, that the pro-
POSSN SuI DS maui G1lGCIiNc De-

would first have to consider the pro-
posed resolution, declared last
night that "at this late date it is
absolutely impossible to pass the %
per cent reduction in taxes to be
paid in 1924 as a separate meas

M'LEAN DENIES ALL
CONNECTION WITH
DOHENY'S OIL DEAL

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Ed-
ward B. Mclean, Washington pub
Usher, appeared before the Teapot
Dome committee today and said
that his only connection with the
naval leasing question had been
through a mixup over the $780,
600 loan to Albert B. Fall.
Mclean said that he owned no
stock in either the Sinclair or the
Doheny oil companies and had new
err met either man personally. He
also said that he did not know Do
heny had any connection with the
oil leases until he read it in the
newspapers.
Fall had for many years been a
personal friedn, Mclean said, but
denied any connection with Off
cial transactions in the Interior De-
partment.
When asked about conflicting
statements concerning the $780,
900 loan, Mclean said that he had
no further statement to make. He
said that Fall had requested him
to come to Atlantic City, and there
asked him to say that the 100000
was loaned in cash and not
through checks later returned to
him. Mclean said that the rea-
son for the request was a mystery
to him, but he acceded because of
personal friendship existing be-
tween them.
Mclean said that he had no con-
nection with the million dollar
slush fund it was rumored sent to
Washington for government Off
