AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm tr other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Hindering Progress
While the distressing econom
ical conditions which prevail
are due to a number of causes,
there can be no doubt that re
strictive laws which hamper
business have been an import
ant factor in the situation.
An instance of how unwise
legislation operates to retard
progress is given by Wright A.
Patterson, veteran editor of the
Publisher’s Auxiliary, a trade
publication for newspaper \
men. Mr. Patterson discusses !
the effects of laws enacted in !
Oklahoma and Kansas which
prohibit u t i lity companies i
from selling electric and gas
appliances, and the agitation
for similar laws in other states.
He says:
“The enactment of such a j
law in any state means slowing ,
up of the installation of these
modern comfort and conven
ience producing appliances in
the home: it means depriving
the people of the community ot
securing them on easy payment
terms and at lowest possible
cost; it means fewer people
employed in the community
and in the factories of the nat
ion, and in the end it does
more harm than good to the ;
merchants of the community.” |
It might be added that such
laws tend to prevent the exten
sion of electric service to the
farms of the country, a move
ment which has made great
progress in recent years owing
to the enterprise of the utility
companies in supplying the
necessary appliances on most
favorable terms.

Jingotism and War
There is no denying the fact i
that over-zealous appeals to
patriotism may become fruit- i
ful cause of war. The spirit
which seeks to instill into the
youth of any country an undue
regard for its own supposed
superiority, and a correspond
ing contempt for the people cf
other nations, is a potential
menace to world peace.
Major General Henry T. Al
len of the United States Army,
who commanded the American
forces in Germany after the
Armistice, has appealed for a
more tolerant attitude toward
other countries. He declared
that the United States should
ascrifice some of its national
ism in the cause of peace “by
eonfen.ng around a common
table in a spirit of compromise
with a 1 1 other sovereign
states.”
Pride in one’s country, love
for its institutions and zeal for
ts advancement are all laud
able qualities. It is also com-1
nendable to be ready to de
end it against actual aggress
cn which can be met only by !
force.
But to assume an attitude of?
mpeiloiity and assert it in an;
offensive manner is unbecom-;
ng and unnecessary. If persist-1
id in, such an attitude may eas- j
ly provoke international an- j
agonisms and ultimately lead
to war.
The Mining Industry
(From Mining Truth)
The mining industry is second
imong the fundamental indust
ries of this country. It prodiic- 1
?s 60 per cent of the mineral
>utput of the entire world. It :
supplies 54 per cent of all the 1
freight of the railroads.
It contributes 22 per cent of
he federal income of the Unit- J
;d States. It represents an in-1 i
vestment of more than $10,-1
>00,000,000. I t purchases ]
i 1350,000,000 of materials, sup>
j plies and equipment each year.
It produces annually mineral'
! worth over $5,500,000,000. It
j earns a larger amount on in
] vested capital than any other
! major industry. It has been
| the basis of the majority of the
| great fortunes of the country,
j It pays a larger proportionate
j amount of dividends than any
| other industry. It has greater
j stability than any other indust
ry because its products are bas
! ic essentials. It offers in the
j stocks of its various companies
I greater opportunities for profit
than any other industry.

Cheer up, Constitution, the

Well, Americans don’t under

Earned HU Halo.
The editor stood at the pearly
gate,
His face was worn and old;
He meekly asked of the man
of fate
Admission to the fold.
“What have you done?” St.
Peter asked,
“To seek admission here?”
“Oh, I ran a country printing
plant
On earth for many a year.”
The gate swung open sharply
As Peter touched the bell.
“Come in,” he said, “and take
a harp;
You’ve had enough of—er—
trouble.”
