AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
clock brokerage firm or other establishmeat associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local mining development that is not be- j
neved to be in full accord with fact.
Peace and Pacifism
Among all the “movements”
now abroad in the world with
the ostensible aim of promoting
universal peace, there ai*e some
which use the cloak of a
worthy cause in spreading
propaganda of the most sinis
ter sort.
Every right-minded person
wants peace. But, as has been
often pointed out, there is a i
great difference between de
siring peace, and being willing
to sacrifice everything else to
secure it.
The Revolutionary fathers i
might have had peace through |
submission to the encroach- j
ments of the British crown.
Belgium might have had peace,
a little while at least, by allow
ing the Germans to cross her
territory without resistance, at j
the beginning of the World |
War.
Illustrations like these might
be multiplied indefinitely, to
show what the doctrine of pac
ifism or non-resistance may
lead to. While it is the hope of
idealists that war eventually
may be banished from the
earth, few practical persons
cherish any such delusion.
About the best that may be
hoped for is to reduce the caus
es of war to a minimum and en
deavor tO' localize hostilities
which inevitably break out
from time to time.
This result will be attained,
not through either militarism
or pacifism, but through reas
onable preparedness for event
ualities, while exerting every
honorable means for preserv
ing peace.

Says New Stock Tax Aid
To Development Financing
Letson Balliet, well known
mining and financial writer,
of Tonopah, Nevada, points out
in a recent article, some of the
effects on stock trading which
will be induced by the stock
transfer tax imposed by the
1932 Revenue Act, as follows:
“The new tax bill can’t poss
ibly hurt original financing,
but will drive the second-hand
j shares off the market—turn
people to financing for income
i building, develop i n g and
i equipping mines.
That 4 and 5 cent tax will
dig into the trading in second
hand stock pretty deep. Every
I time it changes hands, the pen
! alty is on it.
On the basis of yesterday’s
j . ales, 1,900,000 shares on Wall
! Street exchange, it will take
| (at 4 and 5 cents) about $100,
j 000 a day away from the gam
i biers in second-hand shares.
! That is $30,000,000 a year.
| Then there will be 2c1 on the
I checks, and a tax on telegraph
; ng quotations and orders, and
I on the safety boxes where they j
-■tore them, all of which digs;
into the gamblers in second
hand stock. But the man out
financing for development can
merely give a receipt for the
i money till it is financed and
I then issue the stock in large
I par units.
Now we”U be able to gel
| more development done, it is
penalizing the stock trading. I
wouldn’t kick if they would
double the stock tax.
They have to finance to build
a producer now. They can’t
make anything out of stocks—
unless they make a mine— and
that is as it should be. Blue
sky officers can take a vacation
; now. There will be nothing for
them to do; the crooks won’t
1 start, and the good ones have
the field.’’
Just for Fun
We are having a lot of unus
ual weather this summer, as us
ual.
The recent suggestion of a
day of prayer for the unem
ployed reminds us of the fel
low who once at a swell ban
quet proposed “three cheers
for the poor people of Cincin
nati.”
Even a lightweight politician
can sling a heavy chunk of
mud.
Nations would need fewer
arms if statesmen would keep
their heads.
Moonlight inspires the writ
ing of poetry, while moonshine
supplies the urge to try to. sing
it.
Aren’t men funny? A Ne
braskan who hadn't kissed his
wife for a year whipped an ice
man who had.

If it is left to the New Jersey
state police it is likely that the
Lindbergh tragedy will go
down in history as the perfect
crime.
It must be said for the gang
sters that they do more toward
eliminating gangsters than any
body else does.
Faith, Hope and Charity
An old farmer who has been
waiting for farm relief prom
ised by the last three adminis
trations was asked how he
liked it. He replied: “Well,
sir, during the Harding admin
istration I lived on faith; dur
ing the Coolidge administrat
ion I lived on hope, and so far
during the Hoover administrat
! ion I’ve lived on charity.”

Father Kelly and Rabbi Coh
en were the best of friends.
They were guests at a banquet
one evening at which ham
was served. Father Kelly
smilingly whispered to Rabbi
| Cohen: “Rabbi, when are you
going to lay aside that old stuff
1 and eat ham?”
The Rabbi smiled back and
i whispered: “At your wed
| ding, Father Kelly.”

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO!
From the Hyder, Alaska, Miner !
August 2, 1922.
Fine progress is being made
in the development of the Vir
ginia group and encouraging
results produced. A tunnel is
being driven on a lode 30 feet
in width and the full face is in!
ore showing fine grained gal- j
ena and silver and iron sul-1
phides. The tunnel is in 45
feet and William Bunting, who
is in charge of the work, says |
a steady improvement has j
been shown from the surface.
Miss Elizabeth Baynton,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ar
thur Baynton, and Louis Legge,
a young pioneer of the camp
and a member of the Hyder
Transfer Company, were mar
ried July 28 in St. Mark’s
Church, Stewart, by Rev. Ed
ward Moss. The wedding was
public and the church was
packed. After the ceremony
the bridal party motored to the ;
home Louis had built in Hyder i
and with a score or so of i
friends sat down to a wedding |
breakfast. In the evening a re- j
eeption and dance prepared by !
their friends was held in Pion-:
eer Hall and lasted until the |
break of day. Last Monday j
the ladies of Hyder gave a !
shower for the prospective
bride at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Hall, where she was
deluged with useful and beau
tiful gifts.
Alex. Frazer’s garden is one
of the attractions of the camp
for sightseers. Alex, is wor
ried about the peas. The pack
age said they were of the Tele
phone variety and grew two
feet high. He has already trell
ised them up to 7 feet, and the j
way they are going he figures
he will have to pick the top
ones from an aeroplane. His
strawberries, spuds, beets, etc.,
are growing in proportion.
The “Lighthouse” building,
| which had been a landmark
for years in old Portland City,
now the thriving town of fly
;der, and Mrs. Anna Miller’s;
building at the foot of Main
►street, formerly the Hyder Cig
ar Store, have been moved to
the Hyder, B.C. townsite. They ;
! were moved on scows and land
ed on their new locations in
fifteen minutes after they left
the old. The Lighthouse was
built in 1910 by Dick Harris, i
