'J ( ) I Miner Claims Amendment ,! .. . , ; , to BeWrong Says Poor Men's Interests are Against Mines Amendment jj " .... 1 W From Labor News, Salt Lake City, Utah, jj Oct. 26, 1918: 1 jj , There has been a lot of stuff in the papers j lately from professors, lawyers and other high- - J brows about this mining amendment, but I have not seen anything yet about where the working man gets off. t I am not going to waste your space or my. time with the "theories" of this thing. 1 am going to ' point out how it will get to you or me, if we are II miners, or to our fellow workers in the mines or on the railroads. The few dollars I am assessed on my sticks of furniture don't amount to much. You might say N that my taxes were the least of my troubles. And, j l! that's the truth. It's the taxes I am paying for , j j other people that get my nanny goat. From Janu- - j 'I ary 1 to December 31, this is what you get: j "Yes, Bill, the grub's a little dearer, but our i jj taxes have been raised." ' i Si Jj "Sorry, Bill, but we'll have to charge you more j "ii for your overalls. Tax on cloth, you know." j JJ "Rent'll be higher next month, Bill. Taxes on i real estate gone up." . - ! ii i JJ But when there is a public meeting, watch the , J t jj white collar boys come to the front and yell, "Mr. S Chairman, I demand to be heard because I am a i JJ citizen and a taxpayer." i ii ' !J :, Suppose this amendment passes and. the state i h board of equalization proceeds to soak it to the ! JJ mines. I would not care about that if a lot of rich S JJ mine owners had to dig up for it. I would like E JJ- - to see that. But we know what happens in se3 J! like that. We know who has to dig for ev?ry- - jj thing that is soaked onto the capitalists. The S Jj ultimate consumer. The working man. He has to J ii pay one way or another, . . , .. J M fi h You take a metal mine and increase its taes. m What does it do? It can't raise the price o' its ii metal, because the smelter trust fixes that. So . ! what does it do? It takes it out of the miner by ii reducing his" wages. Every time. If he won't " stand for it, they shut down and he can h!t the J m trail for some other place, , , , ,'' B The coal mine can play the thing twi ways. "8 They can reduce waes or they can boos; the price g B of coal. Nowadays all they have to do is' to show g g the government that their expenses have in- - JJ m creased, and up goes the price of coal. That hit3 S S all of us. Before they got in the government's ' Jj , 5 hands they didn't have to show anybody. They M m just boosted the price and that's what they will . do again when the government lets go of them S g if it ever does. ' JJ n Mr Kirkham says in your paper that the coal g n companies are not kicking at the amendment. g B Why should they? All they have to do is say to g B the head bookkeeper, "This new tax will cost us g n 7 cents a ton. Seven is a hard number to add up, g ! so make it a round number. Charge Bill 50 cents m a ton more for his coal." h tm ti m There's another thing about this. Lots of Jj K miners get a little grubstake once in a while and JJ B go but prospecting, trying to get hold of a good g m claim so they can make a few dollars, and get . g S away from working in a hole in the ground for a g B change. Suppose they locate a good claim and g B try to sell it to somebody, what happens ? "Not g g for me," he tells them, "I don't intend to buy any g g claim and get taxed out of my pants." S S We have got fairly good wages in these Utah g JS mines now and I don't intend to give these mine g B owners any chance to put their men back on the JJ u old scales again. And I don't want to give any of g h these mines a chance to shut down, throwing a Jjj m lot of miners out of work and laying off a lot of JS B railroad men who handle ore and coal. S m S J If these professors and politicians will sho'V m g me something to vote for that will tax the idle g ' B money and bond holders, I'm with them, but they B . don't get me to vote for fewer jobs and 'ower JJ B wages. I'm for more jobs and better wages, and ' JJ B I don't intend to give these mine owner any g h - excuse for cutting down; so I'm going to vote ' g S against the amendment. g 1 ' (Signed) HARRY ANDERSON, B g i Midvale w g ' g kSlXISfZII13IZi:SSXIESIIZSIIIKiIIZ3IIEliaiIZIEI A The President ' I And Politics 1. There has been a deal of balderdash since President Wilson issued his $ statement last week urging that a Democratic majority be returned 1o con- - H gress. The statement appears to have attracted far more attention than is 5jj justified and to have aroused Republican party adherents to a defensive H campaign far greater than the situation warrants. . Assuredly no one would expect President Wilson to want anything ex- - $ cept a Democratic majority in congress. Despite the fact that he is the presi-- ' dent and has risen to the position of the leading statesman in the world, he $ is still a Democrat and the recognized leader of that party. Why, therefore, all this howl because the president in a formal statement asks us to do what we all knew he wanted us to do, even without the asking? Did you, or anyone else, expect him to ask for the election of a Republican $ , majority? Perhaps, though,' the complaint is that the president made a statement, H smacking so strongly of partisanship. If so, there is ample justification. When Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft tcured this country they 0 talked politics at every city and hamlet and they urged the election of Repub-- $ licans while they extolled the virtues of the G. O. P. They wanted a Republi- - : can majority and they got it. . . ' President Wilson is denied the satisfaction of a cross country speaking $ tour, business affecting the future of the whole world keeping him in Wash-- $ ington and because he cannot deliver the political message orally he sends forth a brief and. trite statement. Pe says what he wants as president, as $ leader of the Democratic party and as a private citizen. Where is the harm? $ Surely he has only conformed ) precedent and done exactly what could hno been expected of him. . $ There is no question of patriotism involved, for as far as anti-Germa- n- $ ism and goes the people of the United States are solidly 0 united. The issue is or and the presi- - $ dent naturally feels he can rely better upon the Democrats than he can upon ! Republicans. n It might be argued, if we wished to delve into the situation, that this $ feeling has been forced upon the president by the recognized leaders of the 1 Republican party. For instance, if Colonel Roosevelt was in congress the pres ident could scarcely look to him for fiientVy support. Colonel Roosevelt has been partin.lariy severe and loquacious in his de- - ? nunciations of President Wilson and his acts. Yet, we know the colonel to be a thorough patriot and to be sincere and earnest about it, just as sincere A as at the time when he was anti-Republic- an and as he now is in the pro-Re- - ;j? publican roltr , v ' $ T Of course, politicsUs involved, and such will always be the case if we continue to elect president by popular vote instead of having them inherit $ the job like the kaiser. S $4 STAND UP, SUPPORT AND UPHOLD PRESIDENT WILSON BY M GIVING HIM THE TEAMlOF LOYAL SUPPORTERS AND WORKERS WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED AND TRIED OUT. THIS ENDORSEMENT CAN $ BE GIVEN IN ONLY ONE WAY AND THAT IS BY VOTING A STRAIGHT A , DEMOCRATIC TICKET, AND ELECTING EVERY MAN ON THE DEMO- - $ CKATIC TICKET FROM CONGRESSMAN MAYS, TO CONSTABLE CAL- - ; LETON.
