THE GOOSE THAT LAYS THE
GOLDEN EGG.

Four counties in Arizona de.
pend almost altogether upon the
mining industry for their well
being. They are Cochise. Gila,
Greenlee end Yavapai. Of the
four Yavapai probably has the
most undeveloped mining re
sources and mining here means
more to the people than in any
of the others since so much de
pends upon what is done in the
future. Mohave also is a min
ing county, but gold is the chief
mineral there, and it does not
affect q community like copper
mine, with greater investment
and more men employed.
With copper wavering between
twelve aud thirteen cents q
pound, the industry cannot be
said to be in a healthy condition.
If there should be further de.
cline in the red metal, number
of mines in the state would be
compelled to close down. Since
the shutdown of 1921 copper has
not been in stable state, and
the uncertainty of the metal has
caused the people of Arizona to
take a friendlier attitude toward
the industry. There is not at
this time any swat the mining
companies" clamor, except on
the part Of an inconsequential
few. Knowing the benefits the
mines bring to the state. the peo
pie are not anxious to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg.
In an editorial recently the
Manufacturers Record had the
following TO say regarding the
mines:
If the mining industry is
taken as the barometer for the
prosperity of the nation, 1924
should meet the expectations of
the most optimistic. The annual
report OF the United States Geo
logical Survey on metal produc.
ton for 1923 is prolific in the
use of such phrases as value Of
metal output more than doubled,
unusually large output great
increase reported.
It is interesting to note that
the substantial increases in out
put are largely credited to me
tails whose production is encour.
aged by our tariff laws. Many
properties which we're unable to
produce without protection. are
now installing new equipment
and preparing for substantial
production during 1924.
Only gold and silver show a
decrease. With the exception of
the Pittman silver act, produc
ton of silver fell off materially,
and only those gold properties
most favorably situated have
been able to survive the depres.
sion. It is essential that i'll ad
vised and excessive taxation
measures be eliminated to en-,
courage further development in
our mining industry, which from
a payroll standpoint means so

NEWSPAPERS FIRST CLASS MAIL


OF investigation and study by
experts of the Postotfice Depart
ment, Postmaster General New
on January 80 issued the first
definite, concise and complete
program that has ever been put
out by the department for the
mailing. transmission and de
livery OF newspapers.
This order is most important.
1t is far reaching. It gives the
same expedition to newspapers
as is accorded to first class mail.
The order is the result of
painstaking effort on the part of
the postoffice inspectors, under
the direction of First Assistant
Postmaster General Bartlett.
Carefully worded and minute in
structiohs nave been issued to
all employees engaged in hand
ling the mails, so that there will
be no possibility of misunder
standing the Importance of get
ting newspapers to the reader
with a minimum of delay.
The essence of the order is
that newspapers shall not be
mixed with parcels post at any
point in their dispatch from the
publishers Offices until their de
livery to the addresses. Pa
pers shall be handled by them
selves, and kept in constant
transit, not being sent to rail
way terminals to be worked. In
other words, they are to be
handled in the same manner as
first class mail.
An important feature of the
order is that no publication shall
be given any less efficient or less
expeditions treatment than at
present. That means that pub
LEGATIONS other than newspapers
will not suffer one iota from this
progressive innovation, made by
the postoffice department..
Another striking feature OF
the order is the elimination of
sacks of mail which are known
to the business world as mixed
mail" Sacks of mixed mail
some times contain letters, pa
pers and parcels post, and often
times the entire contents were
treated as parcels post. This
order will prevent a recurrence
of that condition.
Another important feature of
the order is that postmasters are
required to notify publishers in
each instance when they do not
hit the dispatch which they ad-
vertise to hit; also to notify pub.
fishers when they are sending to
wrong addresses and to the ad-
dresses of deceased persons.
Publishers will also be notified
when they are putting up their
mail is an incorrect manner.
Under the new system, news.
papers will be made up in sepa.
rate sacks, plainly labeled with
the word Newspapers. If
there are only q few copies of
newspapers at the point of dis
patch, they will be placed in
pouches with first class mail or
in separate sacks, even though
the sacks are only partially fill

COMPANY CENSURED
FOR UNION ATTACK


PORTLAND, Jan. 1.-THE Electri-
cal Workers have been waging a
strike against the Northwestern Blec-
trio company Of Portland, Ore. The
trouble started when the company at
tempted to reduce the wage Of the
electrical men.
The matter was referred to the state
board of Cancellation by the employees.
The board, after hearing the facts in
the case, decided that the wage for
which electrical workers struck are
''just and one to which they are enti-
tied"
To this decision Of the board the
manager of the company replied: ut
makes no difference what the board
found"
This is the view of an element that
loudly insists: 1.-THE public must be
acquainted with the facts in time of
strikes" When the Northwestern
was seeking entrance into this city 1t
was profuse in its promises to organ
ized labor Now when the electrical
workers want fair wage the COM
pany imports strikebreakers and the
Burns detective agency to combat the
union.

standpatism. Standpatism cannot see
beyond the high fence around its steel
plant. The saloonkeeper could not
see beyond his swinging front door

their weekly pay checks over his bar.
The British king couldn't see that a
tax without representation was i'm

steel industry couldn't be. But it is.
And now he says it is better social

The fight for progress is a discour-
aging business, but it as its triumphs
