Show o HELP IT COME BACK One shouldn't think of our mining problem only in terms of great properties, sizable investments, and so on. It should be chought of in terms of jobs, of purchasing power, of the influence it has on the lives of thousands of individuals. In normal times mining is the major industry in a number of states. It has the largest payroll. It pays most in taxes. It employs em-ploys more men and supports more families. The money it puts in circulation goes to buy the products of farms and other industries, indus-tries, and passes through the coffers of local stores and the hands of local business men. That is why a depressed mining industry is so great a liability li-ability to the country. And that is why it is so important that we help "mining come back". |
