COMING ELECTION MOST UNIQUE
IN HISTORY OF STATE POLITICS

this topic has developed into one
of the important side issues in the
election, although there is no pen
sion proposal mentioned on the bal
lot.
Concerning the Townsend plan it
self, which promises a national old
age pension of 5000 monthly for
each person 60 or older, Gov. Frank
F.. Merriam, Republican candidate
and Raymond l.. Raight, Common
wealth party candidate, are in ac-
cord. "The idea is worthy Of serious
consideration" Upton Sinclair
Democratic standard bearer, has
not opposed it, but believes it would
be unWorkable.
Since DR.. F. E. Townsend, Long
Beach author of the proposal, hopes
TO secure congressional attention
through a petition asking adoption
of the plan, candidates for congress,
in particular, are feeling effects of
the general demand for an old age
of leisure and comfort. Their con-
stituents are demanding to know
their attitude on the proposal
But the movement has not stop.
ped there. Gubernatorial candidates
also have been pressed for then
opinion. The fact that they recog
ize it as an important issue is in
dicated by their cautious attitude III
refraining from adverse comment.
Although they may disagree or
nearly every other issue, Merriam
Sinclair and Haight are alike in be.
lieving that old age pension should
be handled by the federal govern
ment, rather than by individual
states.
Sinclairs original EPIC plan had
an old age pension provision under
which every person 60 or older
would receive $50 month. He has
discarded that proposal, however,
preferring to await national action
expected in the next session OF
congress.
California has an old age security
act which functions as follows:
bSllellCAdl4So lllGoG NC ~ vi O4OSl
without relatives who are able to
support them. They must be citi-
zens, residents Of the state Is
years and of the county one year.
After they have met those re-
quirements, they may be eligible
to receive $50 a month, SIS from
the state and SIS frcm the county.
Merriam believes a national old
age pension plan should be devised,
in order that residents of all states
would have the same benefit. If
certain states provided particularly
beneficial pensions, he pointed out,
there would be a heavy influx OF
persond from neighboring COM
monWealthS.

Urgent need for suitable outer
custodial quarters for the care of
extremely untidy cases, isolation
cases and the mentally defective
was found in poor asylumS. The
system of exchange between the
state and county institutions make
these improvements imperative, since
an increasing number of aged men
tai cases are returned to county
aSylums.
Need also was apparent in prac-
tically all asylums visited for more
adequate dormitory facilities for the
care of men inmates, and for in
creased dining room facilities.
While conditions in jails were i'm
proved over those found last year,
necessity for greater safety meas
ureS was reported. Neglect in pro-

found by the department repre-
sentativeS, restraint of prisoners

COPPER EXPORTS EXCEED

tons of refined ingots and bars.
Including small shipments of
scrap and brass, IA, ,601 tons of
copper entered this country from
foreign shores during the year.
The exports showed 22.714
tons Of ore and concentrates,
l24, sos tons of refined ingots aud
bars. II 2O7 tons of scrap, 7.790
tons of rods. 1874 tons of scrap

Inasmuch as the copper enter.

that there has been net reduc.

from export trade Of 40, 0,7l9 tons.
Whether this situation will
continue after copper codes go
into effect. thus giving foreign
producers greater price ad
vantage than they now enjoy,
remains to be seen. The dollar
devaluation has lowered b 9
tariff walls and increased costs
in this country will serve to
lower them further, according to

ARIZONA GOLD PRODUCTION
LEADS OTHER MINING

Phoenix. Feb. Estate Mine
Inspector Tom G. Foster inform
ed Gov. B. B. Moeur. in his 22nd
ann ual report today, that gold
production surpassed all other
of mining, including copper, in
Arizona during 1888.
The mine inspectors report
showed there were 80 gold mines
operating in the state during last
year. as compared with II cop
per mines, which was com plete
reversal of the mining situation
in Arizona in former years. Even
silver mining, with % mines.
surpassed copper.
Foster reported there were
3,2l4 men working in Arizona
mines, which be listed as fol
lows:
Eighty gold, % silver, ii cop
per. five lead. five molly bdenum,
one felspar, two coal, one salt
and one tungsten.
The productions Of molly bde.
nun are used 10 tempering steel;
felspar in the making of the pot
teries. and tungsten in the man
ufacture of electrical equipment.
Foster also reported there
only eight deaths and y serious
injuries in Arizona mines last
year.
He pointed out in his report
that Arizona, in common with
other states, so far as the min
ing industry was concerned, felt
the detrimental effects of the
prevailing economic depression
more keenly during the year
1888 than during any previous
period in the states history"
The decrease in the state's
total mine production. be said
obviously was due to the abnor
mally low price of metals, and
not to lack Of ores.
The principal base metal of
Arizona is copper, together with
a fair percentage of silver aud
lead. all carrying more or less
values in gold" the mining off
cial said. The price of copper
reached the lowest ebb since the
close of the world war, and caus
ed suspension of great tnumb Der
of large producers.
While it is possible for some
mines to operate at small pro.
fit. many wise, 10 keeping with
good business principles, sus
pended operations until the mar
ket value Of metals should ad-
vance to figure under which
they could operate at profit"
