THE QUESTION OF ORE TAR- i
IFFS.
_____________
il' one lakes the Lime In exam
ine the testimony rendered In I he
ways and means committee dur
ing the tariff hearings, he will j
find that unanimity of judgment!
is a rare situation. Tariff sched- I
ules speak in the language of i
dollars and cents, and il is in this •
light only that they command ap
preciation. No one; ever accused
a tariff measure of not primarily
affecting the linings of purses,
and inasmuch as purses are pri
vately-owned affairs, tariff opin
ions naturally draw their inspira
tion from the twitching of purse
strings. Unanimity of judgment
concerning any specific duly is,
therefore, not to he expected, be
cause there are always two sides
to every bargain. This proves as
true of the discussion before the
ways and means committee of the
lead and zinc schedules as il does
of the schedules affecting sugar
aifd wool. In particular, til is
- truth appears in connection tvitli
the hearing on metal-hearing
.ores. The producers of lead and
zinc ore have always laid empha
sis upon I he importance of pro
tection for these materials, while
those who are concerned mainly
with the finishing of the product,
are more apt to insist that the
protection should he placed high- !
-er up the scale of manufacture, !
that is, upon the smelled bullion.;
The argument may, of course, he j
carried farther, ami the makers!
of articles into which the metal j
enters may insist that the prop-I
er point of protection is tin* man- j
ufactured commodity which is 1
ready for linal consumption. At j
the hearings in Washington, cer-1
tain represent at ives of t lie mining !
industry urged the removal of du- j
ties from lead and zinc odes, and i
the zinc smelting interests are of j
the opinion Unit adequate protec
tion of tlie metal is sufficient in
itself to protect tlie producers o' i
ore and concentrate. There can j
ho no lo'.l t that the produe u 1 i
ore containing zinc is inteicsled
in the pioduclion of spelter, ami
die probably would lie found unit
ed with the producers of the met
al in fighting for a protective duty
if he did uo| feel that there was
an antagonism between himself
and the smelters. It is this an
tagonism, whether warranted or
not, that accounts for an appar
ent division in the ranks of those
who are vitally interested in the
whole matter. There is this dif
ference of statement concerning
the facts; that the miners of ore
consider he cost of producing ore
in Mexico and delivering it to
American smellers sufficiently
below the corresponding costs in
this country to warrant the re
tention of a one-rent duty upon
the metal in he ore; while hose
who are favorable to the entire
removal of the ore tariff urge (hat
Mexican labor counterbalances in
inefficiency the lower cost per
man. Moreover, it is natural for
the* managers of any industrial
plaht to desire to purchase in a
perfectly free market, and it does
not seem easy for the’ producer of
ore to reconcile this point of view
of (he smelter with his own.
A BLOW AT COMBINATIONS.
President Wilson is reported to
be quite favorably impressed with
the bill offered by Senator Cum
mins of Iowa, amending the Sher
man act by excluding from inter
state commerce large corpora
tions, the officers or directors of
which are officers or directors of
another corporation engaged in a
competing line of business, seems
desirable and workable. A sec
ond feature forbids the .owner
ship by one corporation of slock
in any other engaged in the like
business in a competitive way.
Whether these drastic regula
tions can make their way through
congress just, now is a question.
But they, or something like them,
must be enacted in time. The evil
of the evasive intricacies of cor
poration juggling can no longer
be ignored, even by the high
financiers who have profiled so
greatly by the old plan. The pub
lic sentiment is all against allow
ing directors of one big corpora
tion to belong |n the directorates
of other big institutions that
ought to he on a competitive ba
sis- _

Still, i| must be conceded that
the raw material Frank Chance
had lo work on was exeeedinply
so.
Iceland is lo be dry alter Ibis
year. Mr. Bryan would feel at
home with an ambassador from
Iceland.
What a comfort, it would be if
mosquitoes were as fastidious as
are rainbow trout in the matter
of biting.
Surely between the “Land of the
Rising Sun” and the “Land of
Sunshine” there is something in
Common.
Gable reports state that $40,
000,000 worth of opium is rot
ting on the wharves at Chinese
seaports, entrance having been
barred by tin* Chinese govern
ment. The new republic of Chi
na is showing a capacity for law
deforcement t hat means much for
the progress of the people. The
other powers have been working
for years in an effort to stamp
out the opium traffic in China.
The results will be more lasting
and satisfactory if China does her j
own stamping.
Civic Club.
Tin* women of the town have
decided to organize a civic im
provement club to lead in the
work of making the town of Val
dez more healthful and more
beautiful. The movement is a
stop in the right direction and will
result in great good to all the citi
zens of Ihe oily. All public spir
ited women who can should attend
Ihe meeting tomorrow afternoon I
