SO SAYS CHAIRMAN, STATE
WIDE MINERAL COMMITTEE
OF CALIFORNIA
'By Charles W. Merrill)
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5. (JP) —
The mineral industry as a whale
during 1923 limned pitifully far in
the rear of the march of prosper
ity. The notable exceptions, copper
and iron, serve to emphasize this
unfortunate situation.
We need, and we produce from
cu nnineral heritage, raw mater •
sal equal in value to more than
half that our agriculture indust
ries. When finally processed its
value has increased three times,
supported by the work.
About one mine emerges from
1,000 prospects; countless dry webs
■ s cmlled in search for oil; m 1
lions of tons of coal are lost by
eompetetive methods of exploita
tion. So with all the metals and
can be replenished and made to
held its increase, but none can re
oroduce an oil pool or ore body.
Science alone can salvage the
wherewithal to maintain our in
dustrial independence, yet mining
is not only denied support and sub
jected to oppressive legislation, but
bears the brunt of national tax
ation—over 20 per cent. The min
eral industry receives, in total fed
eral appropriation, onlv three per
cent of the sum allocated to agri
culture.
Wise govermental control, reme
dial Legislation, encouragement of
research and protection of home in
dustries must come, in 1929, if pos
siule, inevitably, in any event, if we
■ire successfully to meet the keen
international competition of the
next decade with a sound balanced
program of development and con
servation.

Before you buy an electric plai t
for your farm find out how ft*.'
its current will carry.
This is a question of voltage.
With low-voltage current a few
hundred fact is the limit. But
with the Kohler Automatic’s
110-volt, long-distance current,
almost any distance you might
name, on the largest farm, is
within easy reach.
You ought to see this great little
power plant—the one without
