Mining Progress.
CJournal of Commerce, Seattle. )

(Journal of Commerce, Seattle)
 The mining industry has had some tough going for many years and especially during the before the depression due to high wages discouragng taxes and unfavorable legislation. But many mining men stuck tenaciously to the game and now daylight is in sight. The rise in the price of gold and silver, the renewed demand for metals used in the industries, new technique, new processes and new inventions have brought about revival of the mining industry.
 More gold has been produced in this country than for many years. Old mines which did not pay under former conditions being reopened and made to pay. Many hundreds of thousands being pro- duced from the operation of placers Copper and iron mines closed for long periods being operated at a profit. There is search for chrome manganese, nickel moybdenum and other metals in paying deposits for which have been found for these metals in industry.
 The revival in mining has been marked. It has been reflected in employment in business for dealers and manufacturers of mining equipment
 The Northwest is rich in minerals. This area has many deposits of chrome managanese( nickel and other metals of sufficient richness to pay for the mining if operations conducted on large scale These deposits attracting attention of large eastern mining interests. Every encouragement possible should be given to legitimate mining development. l

about the matter, Capt. Rhoda Milli-
ken, head of the Woman's Bureau Of
the Police Department, was delegated
to determine the chief factors contrib
uting to this shocking situation. Mrs.
Thorpe feels that "the citizens of
Washington have reason to be CRATE
full for what was brought to light by
this survey"
When these accidents were spotted
on the map Of the District it was
found that their greatest concentra-
ton was not only In one Of the city's
most densely populated areas. but
that one which was crossed by six
major trafhc srte lies. In all this
vicinity there was one full-time play
ground for white children and none
for colored children, although there
was a school population of 6,34l, out
Of which 856 were shown to be suffer-
ing from malnutrition.
There were $50 persons designated
as living in % alleys and 50 per cent
Of all the families In this district
were on Government relief and the
remainder earning extremely low
wages. tuberculosis was the prevail
ing cause of all deaths.
Additional inquiries into the eco
nomic, crime and health population
for both adults and juveniles re-
vealed that this section costs the city
more for services which must be paid
by the taxpayer than any other Sec
ton. For the correctional and penal
institutional care alone Of the chill
dren and adults in this particular
community it was brought out that 1t
annually cost the District approx
mately half q million dollars.
As one might surmise, there were
on the committee some who were in
position to influence remedial legis-
lation over the morning cup Of cof-
fee or in conversational interlude
at the family dinner table. But the
group scorned the contact method of
approach, am told. Said they, This
case will stand or fall upon the merits
Of this report and of what We are
able to point out in a business-like
hearing with Mrs. Thorpe, delegated
as our representative and spokesman
1t is our business to show Congress
that it will be cheaper to try remedial
measures for this situation than must
not legislation"
Not even j. Edgar Hoover, America S
No. criminal pursuer, could have
presented the theme closest to his
heart, "Obviate crime by its preven-
ton" better than did the Woman's
Safety Committee. They emphasized
"it costs less to prevent accidents
than it does for the city to pay for
burial or institutional care for those
crippled by trafic accidents"
They stressed the desirability of
providing more playground space
with teachers to supervise them. so
that children might be kept of con-
gested streets and find healthful play
away from unwholesome surroundings
with sufficiently augmented police
force to insure law and order.

essary tax deductions have been set
apart, we are planning to give care
full consideration to the question OF
District Of Columbia gasoline and mo-
tor taxes. increasingly, as the own
ers and drivers of cars, women are
becoming acutely aware that the mo-
torist as the person easily at hand, Is
obviously an easy one to tax in any
community. So, this particular group
is preparing to give serious consider
alton to possible increase in motor
vehicle taxes and the Justification for
the suggested diversion OF highway
gasoline taxes to general District OF
Columbia purposes.
with the familiar bugaboo OF
higher auto taxes looming large as
an actual bogie, the Women's Safety
Committee is asking searching and
pertinent questions as to why WASH
ington residents should have addi-
tional taxes on their automobiles When
Uncle Sans Federal vehicles are not
only tax-exempt but free from re-
sponsibility for all damage which his
authorized drivers may do to others"
For instance, it was pointed out,

United States-owned vehicle cannot
be awarded hospital care or compen-
sation of any nature whatsoever, ex-
cept by act of Congress. The records
In this connection indicate SO few
occasions where Congress has so acted
as to make it almost hopeless for an
injured person to believe that there
is any chance for our Government

stances.
Proposed Weight Tax.
why" asks the Women's Safety
Committee, should more motor taxes
be levied upon those who are already
paving them? Wouldn't it be .
great deal more fair to have the
United States Government pay its
part? Then there wouldn't need to
be an increase"
The women's Safety Committee
looks with little favor. indeed, on the
proposed suggestion 10 tax motor We
hicles by their weight. This they
seriously believe would be unfair as
o distinct piece Of class legislation
and as such departure from the gen.
orally accepted theory that taxes
should be general in nature and
evenly distributed. 1t is also their
opinion that the weight tax would not
be as effective . measure of the use
of highways rs is the gas tax, all of
which in their mindy goes back to
their general queries, why should
motorists, as a class, be singled out
to carry an unfair burden of the gen.
eral administrative cost Of the Dis
trict government? Isn't this the
juncture where the United States
Government ought to come forward
and carry its share?"

I asked if the committee is planning
to recommend additional laws to rem
edy their evils.

Sviss Authorities Say ''Out!''
 to Both Fascists aud Nazis

BERNIE, May s. The Swiss Confederation, sandwiched between Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, is determined to smash the propagan- da machines of both brown shirts end black shirts.
 For years little Switzerland has cen a battle-ground in a war of propaganda between eXiled anti liazis and anti-fascists against loyal German and Italian units organized in many cantons. Recently the Swiss federal council decided to put an end to it.
 Events leading up to the decision included the assassination of a nazi propaganda chief. the Kidnapping of the anti-nazi writer, the arrest of three fascists for espionage and the attempt of anti-fascistS to float their propaganda into Italy on hydrogen balloons.
 'Enough's Snuff
 We've had enough" wrote the Journal de Geneve after the slay- ing of Wilhelm Gustloff, head of toe nazis in Switzerland We must cxterminate foreign political organi- zations and end the propaganda
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-05-08

from Germany and Italy which jeo- pardizes our liberty"
 The assassination of Gustloff by a Jewish student in Davos and Hit ler's subsequent spec oh making Gustloff a reich hero drew Swiss at tention to the thousands of Ger mans organized in Swiss nazi units.
 The federal council acted quick ly, deported a number of nazi lead CTS, refused entry permits to others, and ordered the nazis to close all central and district headquarters in the cantons, Berlin protested, but the Swiss were adamant.
 Kidnapping Case Cited
 The only nazi we want in Switz- erland as the representative of the reich is her regularly accredited minister" flared the Journal de Geneve.
 To Nazi demands for an eXplana- tion, the Swiss pointed to the Ja- cob case. Berthald Jacob, an anti nazi writer living in France, had been enticed to Basel and there was kidnapped by nazis who rushed him across the frontier into Germany.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-05-08

For six months Jacob languished in a nazi prison while little Switz- erland became more and more an- gry. Protests to Berlin, accompa- nied by threats to drag the whole affair before the world court, eventu- ally brought Jacob back to Switz- erland uninjured.
 Each Side Accuses Other
 Switzerland's southern neighbor has also given the cantons trouble. On a tip from anti-fascists, police raided a small Italian newspaper and jailed three fascist writers on charges of treason and espionage They had been campaigning for the attachment of the canton of Tessin to Italy.
 A day later fascists turned the tables by telling police about the mysterious activities of three Italians in the mountains near Palermo, the southern tip of Switzerland Police found the trio awaiting favorable winds to carry thousands of tiny hydrogen balloons into Italy with anti-fascist propaganda.
