SILVER CITY, IDAHO,
 PROPERTY HITS ORE

WALLACE, Idaho, Oct. P. (P- An essay made by one of the local essayers during the early part of the week on a selected specimen of quartz from the Owyhee Gold Mining company operating in the Silver City district, gave a return of 523.4 oun- ces in silver and 2S42S ounces of gold to the ton, amounting in value to $6161 to the ton.
 This specimen was secured from a four-foot vein at a depth of about 400 feet below the surface and was brought to Wallace by John B. Platts manager of the company, on his re turn from a visit to the mine the early part of the week.
 The ledge, opened up for S75 feet, is rather uniform in width, shows an average value of about $33 to the ton in gold and silver. Numerous stringers of quartz scattered through the ledge filling, varying in thickness from a half inch to several inches, he said, would essay from $100 to 5000 to the ton.

Correction

II wish to have you print in your
columns a correction to an article in
your issue of November %, which was
called to my attention by member
of our union. The impression in the
article is created that International
President VIM. Kohn called off the
strike against Hill Bros. The facts
are, that Brother Kohn asked us to
put the men to work in other shops,
as he had suggested previously to us
before the Hill Bros. strike occurred.
"Our international does not pay
strike benefits unless strike is called
with the previous approval of the
General Executive Board, and in this
case we did not expect them to pay
benefits until the G. Z. B. shall pass
on the strike. l ask you to print this
correction, as your article may create
a wrong impression and misunder-
standing among your readers on this
point.

"given all the circumstances, political

best that can be obtained.

-vANzETTI
MURDERS SUGGEST
JUDICIAL CHANCE
Council to Limit Time,
Number of Appeals

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 11.--Doubts
that "therc were defects in the nd
ministering of justice" in the recent
Sacco and Vanzetti legal murders,
have finally percolated 10 the minds
Of the august body Of the Judicial
Council of the Commonwealth. In
the annual report required Of them,
they recommend that the Council
'broaden the functions of the Su-
preme Judicial Court on appeal, so
that it may pass upon the whole case,
and have power to order a new trial
upon any ground if the interests Of
justice appear to require it."
Appeal Period Limited.
The council deplores "the extra
ordinary length of time which elapsed
between the conviction of Sacco and
Vanzetti and their execution, as well
as certain proceedings in tie case,
Illustrated in a striking way some
serious defects in our methods of
administering justice in murder
cases"
But their only recommendation is
to lessen the opportunity for appeal
by limiting the period during which
appeals may be made to one year,
and also ask that there be only one
appeal in capital case, "and there
need be no more"
The council which was created in
1924 to ascertain weaknesses in the
judicial system and make recommen-
dations in annua, reports to be sub
mitted to the governor, lauds the gov
ernor as a court of last appeals. They
maintain that he furnishes all rea-
sonable protection against a miscar-
riage of justice"
The council finds it necessary to
make provisions for more convincing
methods to conduct judicial murders,
for" they say, sit is vital that the
people know that they (the courts
and the governor) do justice"

Farce Mental Test

Two Theories Advanced.
The case involved two separate the
cries: First, the reproduction cost
theory that the railroads are entitled
to have their property valued on the
sums required to rebuild them today
regardless Of the original cost; and,
second, the Investment cost theory,
advanced by the l. c. C. that the rail
roads shall be entitled to earn only
on sums of money prudently and act
ually invested for public service.
The second theory was upheld by
the court, in decision written by
Federal Judge Kimbrough Stone and
upheld by two other judges, the three
Of them constituting the court of ap-
peals.
May Affect Small Roads Only.
The case is variously interpreted
here. One contention being that il
affects all railroads, in which case the
difference between the estimated
valuation based upon the cost of re-
production of the roads, and that OF
the actual money invested, involves
the sum of eleven billion dollars. The
other contention is that it will only
affect the small roads, and will force
them into bankruptcy so that they
can easily be swallowed up by the big
roads and thereby carry out the Cool
idge program of consolidation of all
roads into a powerful interlocking
system directed by the banking
houses of Wall Street.
Big Roads Different.
1t is pointed out that the big roads
can claim that there has been con
slant additions to their physical valu-
alton in the form of new road beds
rails, cars and locomotives, that re.
suits in the reproduction of the com.
plete structure at certain intervals

fees as basis on which to estimate
their physical valuation, while the
small roads will have a difficult time

Ask Constitution Be
Translated, Inspire
Aliens Coming Here

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
A delegation of senator's, city, state
and naval officials called upon Cool
idge yesterday, and urged him to
have the constitution translated into
foreign languages, and handed to
aliens as they step into this country
to impress them with the remarkable
privileges to which the costitution
entities them and inspire them to bet
ter citizenship.
When Upton Sinclair tried during
the waterfront strike to read this
same constitution to a group OF work
ers on private lot in San Pedro,
which he had hired for the meeting,
riot cars, machine guns and the res,
of the paraphernalia police bring Out
on such peaceful occasions, were
rushed to the scene.
As soon as Sinclair read the first
few words off the constitution tia.
government officials want translated
for foreigners to read, the police ar
rested him and three others who took
the privileges Of the constitution
seriously.
Norman Thomas also attempted I'd
exercise this privilege in Mount
Vernon in 1922, but he, too, soon
learned that the constitutional guar
antee of free speech wasn't all the
senator's would have the foreigners
think it is, when the police arrested
him.

''Overcoats for Pickets"
Is Cry of Arnold Local
Of Miners ReliefCOmm

Arnold local of the Miners Relief
Committee opened it's door to the
striking miners on the eighth, and a
complete stock of clothing and a
large quantity of shoes were dis
tributed in a short time.
The news of the distribution spread
very rapidly, in fact early in the
morning the door of our headauar-
tiers was damned with needy miners,
some of whom had walked several
mines on bitter cold morning to be
sure they went home with shoes to go
to school and clothing to shelter
them in the hastily built barracks.
Miners from locals 1880, 4248, BIAS
and 9090 and others, described abuses
suffered at the hands of the coal and
iron police and state cossacks who
openly disregard all laws in order to
destroy the most militant section in
the A. F. of L.
A general strike now is what would
turn the tide, is the cry of the miners.
Many argue also that the railroad
men would strike now and cooper
ate in all the future struggles.
The relief committee appeals to all
to pack a bundle and be sure to in
clude an overcoat for the picket line,
ond few dollars that will shelter the
rliners from grim cold in the bare
Pennsylvania hills and also give
courage to face riot clubs and tear
gas bombs.

Politicians Squabble
Over Who is to Spend
Peoples Tax Money

WASHINGTON, (FP) Dec. IL
unable to find pretext for further
refusal to admit Sen. Couzens of
Michigan to the committee on Finance
which deals with all taxation and
treasury matters, the Republican
leaders increased the number of that
committee from 10 members to 20.
They feared that Couzens, who is the
foremost enemy of Secretary Mellon
outside the western insurgent ranks,
would throw the balance in the COM
mittee against the administration.
AS it is, he can tie the vote in the
committee and he probably will do
it if the Democrats do not join the
Old Guard Republicans on every roll
call.
