Who’s Back of
“WETS”
ALASKA GIVES SAME
ANSWER AS COLORADO
Here is an extract from a recer.t
Colorado grand Jury report as print
ed in the hearings of the sub-commit
tee of the Congressional Committee
on Mines and Mining as It appears in
Part IX, pages 554-5 of the official
hearings:
"The saloon is the curse or the
^tamps, the sinkhole for miners' earn
ings. Nine men, in the month of July,
with an average of $50 each for a two
weeks’ payroll, after deductions had
been made, had not a cent left on the
morning following pay day. Their
money went to a saloon for liquor and
gambling. These men were unfitted
for work for three days.
"Many camp saloons are open after
midnight and on Sunday in violation
Of state law. Over one saloon there
has floated for years the red flag of
anarchy with an open knife fastened
to the flag. The saloon is a rendez
vous for anarchists and many crimes
are chargeable to its influence."
All this burden of misery is heaped
upon the people of Colorado, that for
eign brewery corporations may get fat
off the profits of this debauchery.
'AH this blood that we hear of is
spilled on the threshholds of Colorado,
doorsteps In order that corporate
greed may be satisfied and foreign
greed at that.
Ana wnen me cnronic snioon aisor
der becomes so acute that martial law
and federal troops become necessary,
the very first thing they do is to close
the rum shops, the prime cause of the
disorder and turmoil.
The mine owners, men who have
tried and tried in vain to regulate sa
loons on their property because of the
fear that some one else would open a
saloon near by now begin to nee that
with the state entirely free, they
would be relieved of this rotten night
mare.
The hanks of Trinidad whose depos
its have increased with the saloons
closed now begin to see.
The automobile men, whose busi
ness has taken on an unexpected boom
since the saloons closed, are brushing
the scales from their eyes.
Colorado is a most magnificent
date, well labeled the "Nation’s play
ground," but the foreign brewery cor
porations have made it a shambles
where capital and labor leap at eacli
other's throats and where such a
chronic condition of disorder prevails
ihat there is little inducement for
tourists who prefer to visit some
mountain resorts where they are not
iiahle to get their throats cut in some
mining camp saloon row.
Trinidad, Walsenhurg and these
places which were a bedlam or disor
der under the saloon regime are now
peaceful and prosperous.
The difference is the differ*nee bo
tween the saloon regime and the dry
policy.
The signs of the times are that Col
orado will free herself from this for
aign corporation oppression at the faM
elections and will thus come into her
natural heritage. Adv.

CHILE COPPER BILL
INTERESTS THIS COUNTRY
VALPARAISO, Oct. 24.—The pro
posal Introduced in the House of Dep
uties recently to impose an export tax
upon Copper it a topic discussed here.
As in neighboring republics, the vol
ume o| Imports has made necessary
the Imbn&lng of taxes in addition to
those An imports which, before the
European war, furnished a large part
of the national revenue.
Arguments In support of the cop
per tax are that such a tat Is already
levied bj# Chile's neighbors and that
nitrate w now subject to export te.x
in this t mntry. The project, as fram
ed by deputies 8ubercasenux and
Prat, roposes a tax on a sliding
scale al sve a certain minimum, the
actual a nount of the tax to be deter
mined t r the copper quotation in the
London market.
The » ithors of the bill believe that
the expi rtation of copper is a proper
source t ora which to exact additional
revenue stating that copper mines
now cor rlliute nothing to the nation
al treas iry although copper is rated
as the s cond In importance of Chili's
natural -esources.
This ] roposal is likely to he of spe
cial imi jrtance to large interests in
the United States which have invest
ments fi Chilean copper mines. What
disposition Congress will make of the
bill ’CaJnot be stated at this time.

WOULD give an eye
’ TO DISABLED HOLDIEtt
PARIS, Oct. 24.—A young English
girl has written to Dr. Rochon Divi
neaud offering to give one of her eyes
to a soldier who has lost his sight
from wounds received in battle. The
young girl, who lives In North Shields,
had read a recent statement by Dr.
Duvigneaud, one of the most famous
oculists In France that it was pos
sible to save the sight of a man
wounded in the eye by grafting a por
tion of the cornea of another person.
In her letter she said: “If you be
lieve that there is one chance of suc
cess in a million I will give you one
of my eyes for a soldier who has loBt
one of his serving France. I would
prefer to give my eye to one to whom
it would be especially useful, such as
an Inventor or an officer of great re
nown.”
Two Americans Killed.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 23.—Two citi
zens of the United States have been

Brussels, by German gunfire directed
against British aeroplanes, according
to the Echo Beige.' The paper says
that the American minister at Brus
sels has been presented with pieces
of the projectiles and is conducting
an investigation.
