Stewart has been at the Capitol working for the Passage of the ‘ho. National for several weeks and expressed optimism. as to the measure becoming law. “One of these bills will permit States having sales taxes to place a tax on intersate shipments,” Stewart . said. ‘Considerable Opposition has been raised against this bill in Congress from firms which ship most of their goods from the state in which their factory. is located to other states. At present such shipments ‘escape state taxes because of. their interstate character and thus local merchants are subjected to unfair ‘Com petition. “The bill has a fair chance for Passage at this session, but if not ‘enacted into law now, will surely be passed at the next session of ConZhess. It is essential that the Fed‘eral Government permit such inter‘state. shipments to be taxed for the’ protection of merchants in states like California, where the gales tax is in effect, who are forced to meet competition of goods upon which noc! Sales tax is levied. Passage of this } bill would mean that California would receive approximately $3,000,000 a year more from taxes levied against interstate shipments received in California. The other bill for which Stewart represented. this state in Washington was one which liberalizes the right of states to tax National banks. .

A reverent tribute was paid Wedhades to the nation’s heroes when !all the schools and patriotic organizations joined in parade down Broad Street from Red Men’s Hall and up 3oulder street to the Pine Grove cemetery where impressive serviceg were held in commemoration of the dead who perished that their country might live. The Veterans of Foreign Wars led (the parade; just after them marched, under the direction of Mr, Harjold George, the Grass Valley band. They made a colorful segment of the parade with their bright red caps and capes. Also near the head of the parade was the American Legion firing, squad. Next’ came the Nevada City high school band: in their royal L. E. Sweeney. After them were the Nevada City high school students and ‘then came the grammar. school boys and girls. All of the student sections were tributing follow: Carey Arbogast $2.50, Wade ArmE. E. Barker $2.50, George Calanan $5, George Carter $5, Gove $2.50, Dickerman’s Drug Store $5, R. R.

Judging from recent events, however, it appears Canada has. changed . their wealth made available for the needs ‘of commerce and currency. As a consequence, we may anticipate a. steady. rise inthe annual gold out-. but of California to the figure of the ! 60s, when $30,000,000 to $40,000-. 00 in golq bullion was annually contributed to the prosperity of this State and to the wealth and security of our Nation. The welfare of the entire world . and civilization aS we now conceive it, rests upon an adequate gold supPly. Recognized for generations as (the sinews of War, gold is equally the . besis and brawn of peace. It is ‘the sold miner who Produces the foundation for sound currency and puts tangible value behind the money with . which Salaries are paid and necegsij ties are bought, with which buildings} jand_ businesses are built ang new . venti financed, and that underlies! Lthteventhonsi trade and credit and, . the enormous sums demanded to . balance the budgets of the nations. In view of this fact, now at least Senerally recognized, it is not ail likely that there will be a recurrence of the old antagonism to gold mining. by banking, agricultural and business interests, that was one of . primary reasons for California’s gold . yield crashing down from the point of $81,294,700 1 SS Reo Tr ea $8,526,703 in 1929: It was antagonismto mining that brough about the Dassage of the Anti-Debris Law when . there are still some $600,000,000 of . gold left lying in the placer deposits . of this State. THINGS THAT WRECK MINING Mining history is replete with in. cidents of adverse legislation thac . attacked the industry. The burden . of increased costs, heavy taxation, and burdensome compensation insurance rates very nearly had the effect of putting the gold miner out of business. And it is significant to note that these hardships were not imhigh her attitude and plans to iMDpOSe .a . tax upon the produetion of her gold; mines. This action should have the; effect of keeping American invest! ment. funds for mining at home, Cal-. ifornia has the natural attractions for. this money if the law-makers of our) country are wise enough to guar-/. antee the required protection the . industry merits. . If the Federal Government would follow in the footsteps of California and exempt gold mining from all tax-j ation, this state exempted gold . bullion from its sales tax, public. in. terest in the industry would be stim. ulated and the slack of some 20 years of neglect would be recovered with . arush. The move to relieve all gold mining securities from taxation would be particularly helpful tracting large capital to gold min. ing investments and thus furnish ; ample funds for new exploration and development work which be 4S productive of increased gold production for the United States ag . as in at-. should corresponding policy proved for Canada. NEW CAPITAL FOR MINING So constructive and i eaiton an attitude toward -the gold mining industry by this nation, the coupled with new price of. gold, which seems destined to 80 still higher, and with the monetary condition of the world as it is, would release a flood of capital for our gold mines. The consequence would be a widespread increase in employment, demand for machinery, building and agricultural ‘supplies, and a vigorously growing production of gold that will, for years to come, assure the security of our nation and the prosperity of our people.

A reverent tribute was paid Wedhades to the nation’s heroes when !all the schools and patriotic organizations joined in parade down Broad Street from Red Men’s Hall and up 3oulder street to the Pine Grove cemetery where impressive serviceg were held in commemoration of the dead who perished that their country might live. The Veterans of Foreign Wars led (the parade; just after them marched, under the direction of Mr, Harjold George, the Grass Valley band. They made a colorful segment of the parade with their bright red caps and capes. Also near the head of the parade was the American Legion firing, squad. Next’ came the Nevada City high school band: in their royal L. E. Sweeney. After them were the Nevada City high school students and ‘then came the grammar. school boys and girls.

Judging from recent events, however, it appears Canada has. changed . their wealth made available for the needs ‘of commerce and currency. As a consequence, we may anticipate a. steady. rise inthe annual gold out-. but of California to the figure of the ! 60s, when $30,000,000 to $40,000-. 00 in golq bullion was annually contributed to the prosperity of this State and to the wealth and security of our Nation. The welfare of the entire world . and civilization aS we now conceive it, rests upon an adequate gold supPly. Recognized for generations as (the sinews of War, gold is equally the . besis and brawn of peace. It is ‘the sold miner who Produces the foundation for sound currency and puts tangible value behind the money with . which Salaries are paid and necegsij ties are bought, with which buildings} jand_ businesses are built ang new . venti financed, and that underlies! Lthteventhonsi trade and credit and, . the enormous sums demanded to . balance the budgets of the nations. In view of this fact, now at least Senerally recognized, it is not ail likely that there will be a recurrence of the old antagonism to gold mining. by banking, agricultural and business interests, that was one of . primary reasons for California’s gold . yield crashing down from the point of $81,294,700 1 SS Reo Tr ea $8,526,703 in 1929: It was antagonismto mining that brough about the Dassage of the Anti-Debris Law when . there are still some $600,000,000 of . gold left lying in the placer deposits . of this State. THINGS THAT WRECK MINING Mining history is replete with in. cidents of adverse legislation thac . attacked the industry. The burden . of increased costs, heavy taxation, and burdensome compensation insurance rates very nearly had the effect of putting the gold miner out of business. And it is significant to note that these hardships were not imhigh her attitude and plans to iMDpOSe .a . tax upon the produetion of her gold; mines. This action should have the; effect of keeping American invest! ment. funds for mining at home, Cal-. ifornia has the natural attractions for. this money if the law-makers of our) country are wise enough to guar-/. antee the required protection the . industry merits. . If the Federal Government would follow in the footsteps of California and exempt gold mining from all tax-j ation, this state exempted gold . bullion from its sales tax, public. in. terest in the industry would be stim. ulated and the slack of some 20 years of neglect would be recovered with . arush. The move to relieve all gold mining securities from taxation would be particularly helpful tracting large capital to gold min. ing investments and thus furnish ; ample funds for new exploration and development work which be 4S productive of increased gold production for the United States ag . as in at-. should corresponding policy proved for Canada. NEW CAPITAL FOR MINING So constructive and i eaiton an attitude toward -the gold mining industry by this nation, the coupled with new price of. gold, which seems destined to 80 still higher, and with the monetary condition of the world as it is, would release a flood of capital for our gold mines. The consequence would be a widespread increase in employment, demand for machinery, building and agricultural ‘supplies, and a vigorously growing production of gold that will, for years to come, assure the security of our nation and the prosperity of our people.
