The Perspective

Conditions are developing In the
mining industry which indicate that
an era Of prosperity is approach
ing" says Mining Congress Jour
nal. This is evidenced by the
healthy evolution OF conditions that
usually presage prosperity in an in
dustry. Even in the gold and silver
mining industries. tho depression is
less acute. and ultimate recovery of
these essential industries seems as
sured.
Capital is coming out Of the hid
ing places into which It was forced
by oppressive taxation and radical
tendencies in government. Interest
rates are low. Taxes are becoming
less burdensome. Freight rates are
being gradually adjusted so as 10
permit the free movement of tho
basic raw materials, and Transports
ton agencies generally are enjoy
ing healthy conditions. Labor and
supplies do not command a pro-
hibitive premium. And markets.
both at home and abroad, are be.
corning stabilized.
"The attitude OF the state and
national governments toward tho
mining industry is sympathetic. and
government interference with legiti-
mate private enterprise is a less
potent danger. And the crystalliza.
ton of public sentiment against dis
c~rimlnatory legislation of any ma
ture Is seen in the defeat at the polls
in the recent election OF undesirable
tax legislation. Radical tendencies

medium through which the public
could be Informed Of exact condi-
tons prevailing in the industry.
I'm order that the mining indus
try may enjoy to the fullest extent
the era OF prosperity which seems
Imminent, there must be harmony
and unity among It's several
branches; and tho work of moldins
plans, methods. practices. and legis-
lation that will lower production
costs, taxes. and freight rates, ard
that will secure the mai erance OF
peaceful labor relations, mss COM
tinue. To abandon n part OF this
work at this time wouV be exceed
Ingly costly to the mining industry.
Its continuation under the stimula-
ton Of healthy business conditions
and industrial prosperity will pro-
duce lasting benefits"

When the collapse of the fund became immi-
nent the newspapers OF the state gave the bank
ers' troubles WIDE publicity under scare head
lines and, as a result, many good banks were
closed by runs made by frightened depositors.
Inc percentage OF the banks closed by such I'M
favorable puulcIty was very large, even as high
AS 30 per cent. 1t is eyldent that the law III
oklahoma caused great disaster that could have
been avoided had no such law been passed. Much
litigation is now in progress III the state, brought
by the United States Government, surety COM
panies, and Others who are interested in the
proper determination of their legal rights in
connection with the closed banks and the ad-
minIstration of the guaranty fund.
Perhaps no state III the Union has experienced
such disastrous results of the operation of Il
guaranty law. Wild cat banking of the worst
order was extensively INDUCED In. Oil wells
galore were drilled with depositors' money, much
OF which come from other states, attracted by
high interest rates offered for that purpose.
Fear OF losing II large portion of their de-
posits prompted a few bankers in Kansas and
Texas, close to the Oklahoma border to propose
similar legislation in these two states.
While the law of Oklahoma provided that war
rants issued to depositors against the guaranty
fund were to be paid in order in which issued,
this has not been done.
There is now in the fund between $260,000.00
and $275,0 10000 to be distributed. This cannot
go far toward paying s12,000,00O.OO of claims.
The guaranty law of Oklahoma has been re
pealed. The legislature referred to the people
the matter of issuing bonds of the state to make
good depositors' losses, but the people rejected
the idea by an overwhelming majority. Many
residents of the state feel that injustice has been
done and that there is a moral obligation OH the
part of the state to assume responsibility be-
cause of the widespread belief that the state was
always the guarantor.
The bank commissioner of Oklahoma has stat
ed that the experiences of the state have firmly
convinced him of the impossibility of conducting
a safe state banking system under a guaranty
law, whether optional or compulsory.
Here is some Illuminating banking experience.
1t is unthinkable in the face OF the facts present
ed, that there is anyone SO blinded to the opera
ton of financial affairs as to insist very long
that a guaranty law to protect depositors is the
cure either of bad or crooked banking. There
must be some other means found TO protect the
peoples money.
For the most part Wyoming has shown a real
progressive spirit in legislation, but if she should
embrace "A guaranty law, she would be adopting
an unavoidable and discarded scheme. b..

to Pacific coast points increased
over 400 per cent. Meantime west
bound strictly transcontinental bust
ness of the western railways declin-
ued almost one-half. The western
railways are suffering severely
from this loss of business. Tho in
ter.mountain communities Of the
west say that IL the railways should
reduce their rates 10 the Pacific
coast and In consequence begin to
compete more successfully with the
steamship lines the water carriers
would reduce their rates to the coast
and thus increase the already great
discrimination in rates against the
intermediate communities. Is the
remedy then to pass the Gooding bill
and demoralize railway rates and
business throughout the United
States? That would lot solve the
problem of the intermediate com
munities because steamship rates to
the coast would still BIO lower than
rail rates to the intermediate points.
1.-THE real solution Is to pass legls-
lation putting the rates of the water
carriers through the Panama canal
under tho same regulation and CON
troll OF. the Interstate Commerce
commission to which railway rates
are now subject.
Never since their return to pri-
vate operation have the western rail-
ways earned anywhere near a fair
return. They could increase the net
return earned by them II rates were
so regulated that they could get
more transcontinental freight bust
ness. If they are not t @ be allow
ed to get added net return in this
way they ought TO be allowed to
make a general advance of all their
rates except those to the Pacific
coast. They are entitled TO earn a
fair return and ooner or later must
be allowed to earn It even If this
involves an advance In all rates
that are not directly affected by
water competition"

In support OF this view the Rail.

WHICH inc COMMISSION declared

, everywhere are being curbed- 1t is
| fortunate for both the industry and
the nation that the business OF min
ing has not been encompassed by a
multitude Of artificial handicaps i'm
| posed by legislative authority.
Foremost among the defenders
and protagonists OF the mining in
dustry. during the crucial period
since the World war. has been the
American Mining Congress. Through
out this period it has voiced optim-
ism through the public press,
through its officers. directors. and
staff members. through its bulletin
services, and through tho columns
of the Mining Congress Journal.
."Its representatives have appeared
before the committees OF congress,
the executive departments of the
federal government, the Interstate
Commerce commission. the Federal
Trade commission. the meetings of
bankers. manufacturers and railroad
officials, and, in fact, before every
agency and on every occasion where
the cause Of the mining industry
could be advanced and its interests
promoted and protected.
In the matters of tariff protec.
ton. income taxation. railroad rates
and labor relations. the work of the
organization has been most efec
tive. And for the promotion of eff.
cheney and economy in mining
operations. committees of the or
ganization have labored for years
on improved methods of mining
practice, which have become stand
ards, in order that production costs
might be lowered to 4 point where
higher labor and freight costs, and
increased costs Of supplies and
equipment could be absorbed and
operations maintained at n fair
profit.
Tho period from which the min
ing industry Is Just emerging has
been q period Of convalescence.
Many helpful lessons have been
learned from the mistakes of tho
past. Among other things, the min
ing industry has learned that its
several branches have many inter
ests in common which cannot be
protected unless these branches of
the industry work together for the
benefit of the industry as a whole.
and at the same time enlist the
moral support OF other Industries.
1t has learned also that the general
public must have a proper under
standing of its problems. The
American Mining Congress has been

eide when It is fair and reasonable
for the long and short haul principle
to be disrcgarded. how long will 1t
be before congress will by direct leg.
islation regulate rates in many other
ways?
The real force behind the Good.
ing bill is political influence which
Is being brought to bear by people
and public men in the western inter
mountain states. But political influ-
ence is also being brought to bear
to secure other legislation by which
congress would directly. regulate
rates IN other ways. II political In
fluence is successful In getting con-
gress directly to regulate rates in
one way 1t may be successful in get.
ting congress directly to do this in
other ways. When that time comes
the present machinery and policy of
regulation will be destroyed. Men of
ability and self-respect will not serve

duced to an automaton for register

One charge which has been made
against the western railways is that
they are trying to get permission to

to intermediate points to destroy
