Show Back To The Mines! The secretary of the American Mining Congress recently said that the mining industry has come to the end of the year with a brighter outlook ahead. Its principal prin-cipal problems are those of taxation taxa-tion and the tariff, and if they are equitably settled by Congress the industry will he in a strong position for recovery. "Back to the mines!" would be a mighty good cry to hear, especially espec-ially in the west. It would mean the employment of thousands of men, the circulation of millions of dollars through agriculture and a thousand other industries, and new investment of capital. The mining industry has served this country well in the past, and it deserves all aid and encouragement encourage-ment now. |
