It also provides that states may tax the incomes from future issues of government bonds that are owned within their borders. In plain English this means that the income derives from bonds, ine stead of being a3 in the past, would hereafter be subject to taxation in the same manner as incom earned in any manner whatsoever. More than a billion dollars is now diverted every year from agriculture and business to tax free bonds. This is a knife that cuts both ways. It deprives industry of the needed capital and it shifts heavier taxes upon agriculture and business. If that leak is stopped by the passage of the amendment, agriculture and business will thrive a3 never before. Tax-fre- e bonds and heavy surtaxes do not promote good times. Lower surtaxes with no more tax-fre- e bonds will promote prosperity. tax-exem- pt tax-fre- VOLUMES OF NEW LAWS Americans are a unit in agreeing that the country is being burdened to death with useless laws No one denies that all departments of government have hundreds of unneccessary employes. No one could possibly doubt that taxation is exorbitant and mounting higher every day. Practically every candidate for public office denounces extravagance in government, demands early relief, and pledges his services to a policy of reducation. Every election is a paper victory for the forces of enconomy and retrenchment. Yet, in spite of it all, the public sees each succeeding administration spend more money than its predecessor, creeate more offices and bureaus, enact more statues (an average of 10,000 new laws annually,) and lead the country deeper into the wilderness of confusion and profligacy. Only those men holding public office who, when casting their Unless the people votes, oppose extravagance should be pick men whose record for honesty and sincerity is uninpeachable, unless they elect the best men to serve them, we shall have more and more extravagance and bureaucratic government.

The selection of Sacramento, California as the seat of the 1924 convention of the American mining Congress has caused a great deal of satisfactory comment from old time mining men. Every foot of soil surrounding Sacramento is hallowed by the early deeds of the sons and daughters of the east, north and south the leaders of that first mad rush for gold in the days of 849. Within two hours drive of Sacramento is one of the richest gold bearing ereas in the world. It is planned to take members of the convention through the great Crass Valley mining district, where mines discovered seventy-fiv- e years ago are still steadily offering up their gold hoards. A meeting such as this should help focus public interest on mining as one of this nation's greatest industries which stands back of our permanent prosperity. Mining is no longer the speculation it was in the days of '49, and is it deserving of the encouragement and backing of individuals and financial institutions. Our can do much to encourage mining by adopting reasonable taxation policies and refraning from passing radical or confiscatory legislation. While the history and romance of mining has been largely built p around gold, we must not forget that the more lowly metals such as silver, lead, zinc and copper contribute vastly more to our material wealth than does gold. Production of these metals employs tens of thousands of workmen and the mines pay millions of dollars annually in taxes. If the Sacramento convention awakens public interest in western mining and its needs it will be of great benifit not only to the mining industry but to the country at large. rJ Safe Clean K 5 K ' '"' XT'" v M- - f The Sevier Valley Mercan- tile Company has taken over the agency for the International Harvester Company line of Farm Implements.
