He pointed out that insurance, of all kinds, has maintained its stability and solvency better than most governments or priv: i: enterprises, in the face of depression. It has paid all lezitimate claims promptly. Failures have been negligible when other businesses were going under at a terrifying rate. It has distributed billions of dollars, and saved an army of “people from financial disaster. Its value has been unchanged by chaotic stock-market and industrial conditions. > 'm 1931, all classes of insurance carriers paid to claimants the cicantic sum of $3,731,620,696—about as much as Congress has provided this. year in this ge-cral relief appropriations and for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. This insurance money, in addition, was not dragged out of unwill ing pockets by taxation. Every dollar of it represented voluntary contributions—it was emblematic of the characteristics of thrift and foresight. And, according to Mr. Ives, practically ail the money paid went to relieve distress of some sort. As he points out, if the insurance distribution had been three times as great we, as a nation, would have been three times better off. One of Mr. Ives’ sentences would bear memorizing—"“An adequately insured nation would be an almost depressionproof nation.’’ Every insurance policy purchased, whether for fire, life, casualty or what not, builds for America’s future. It means a stabler, more prosperous, more progressive people. At this time insurance _ sales are holding to extremely high levels, in relation to the change in our purchasing power—and that fact alone is good reason for our having faith in America during the years to come. VITAL TO THE WEST Mining is vital in the west. In normal times, the mining industry is the foremost employer, purchaser of supplies and contributer to the cost of government in a number of states. Its prosperity is related to that of every other business—the banker, manufacturer, farmer, store-keeper, all look to mines for a large share of their livelihood. In the pioneer days the lure of precious metals was principally responsible for the development of the west—in these days mining is necessary to the west’s future developmnet. The mines will come back. Their problems are gradually being solved. And in the meantime, it behooves every western state to do all itcanto encourage the mining industry, and make its struggle for existence easier, by providing constructive regulation and taxation measure. IS WATER FREE Some time ago the manager of a western city made an effort to reduce taxes by cancelling some $200,000 in standby charges for fire protection paid by the city to the local municipal water district. His’ main argument for this was that the rates should be reduced because the water didn’t cost anything. S at Answering this contention a prominent taxpayer pointed give people a dam costing millions of dollars nor the miles of aqueduct necessary to transport the ‘‘costless’” water to and from that dam; nor the tunnels, nor the reservoirs, nor t he street-pipes from which the ‘‘costless’” water runs into the houses. These things must be paid by the taxpayers who are also liable to provide bond interest and sinking fund. ‘This’ illustrates one of the farcial phases of municipal ownership—a political system which has enabled many municipai power, light and water ventures to show a “book” profit until all of a sudden they require money for imperative needs, aia tue taxpayers found the treasury empty. In practically e ., service industry, it is the cost of bringing the service to tle ccstomer that counts—not the cost of producing the service at the reservoir or plant. To suggest the cancelling of necessary charges because “water is free’, is equivalent.to suggesting that food, lumber and minerals should not cost’ anything because nature péovided them in the beginning. .

Many . . neth. folks eye. _ He was. smart in his . penniless! out that while the water itself was free the good Lord didn't . . Two brothers were born and raised on a gold mine not far from of our readers would know them if their right’ names were used. We have been requested, however, to hide their real identity, so, for our purpose here, we shall call the oldest brother Elwood, while the youngest shall be known as Kenflwood was, the apple of the old studies and lalways a® leader ‘in school. activities. A boy with more ambition would be hard to find. And so, upon hig graduation from the loc2l] high school, it was only natural for the old folk to dig down into their small savings and send Elwood to the university. As for Kenney, well Kenny was # good boy, but he. just didn’t have the ‘get up and go” to him that Elwood had. He would just as soon stay home and work on his dad’s mine as to go to school. And that is just what he did. After his second year in-high school, he didn’t go any more. His dad needed a good mucker, so Kenny stayed home and mucked. But not such an ignomous career for Elwood. Our hero was too smart to waste his life away digging rock in an old quartz mine. A brilliant college career—that is what Elwood had.: A remarkable student, a star on the gridiron and the toast of the sororities, Elwood steamed through college. with colors flying. Upon graduating, he was offered an attractive position as saleman for one of the leading stock and bond houses in San Francisco. As Elwood’s collegé life was, so was his business career. Like a rocket, he careened through th ebusiness world in the big city. His name was a by-word on the lipg of big busfness men, and his advice in buying and selling stocks was sought for. Not only was Elwood’s business knowledge helpful to his clients, but it stood his personal investments in good stead. After several years of stock market manipulation, Elwood’s paper wealth was enormous. It was uncanny the way he could buy low and sell high. "What a change was this from the life he might ,have led on the old mine in Nevada county. Elwood smiled in a self-satisfied manner when he thought of it. But he did not often think of it—he had other far more important things to worry about. Then came the crash. The sinking of the great financial paper ship. It took Elwood almost a year to find opt that he was broke—absolutely And by .that time his company had let him go. There was no need to keep a high pressure salesman ata huge salary when there was no trading on the stock market. What a come-down! From wealth to poverty almost over night. Elwood wasn’t licked yet. He got a job selling brushes from house to house. It was hard work, but it paid hig room rent even if it didn’t leave much left over for food. Then his clothes began to wear out. And when-he bought a second-hand suit, he had to go hangry for a few days to make up for it. Elwood hated to admit it, but the hungrier he got, the more he thought of his old home at the mine in Nevada county. The going got tougher and tougher, until finally EL DORADO CO MINE The Camp Creek Mining company situated 23 miles east of Placerville, on the eastern belt of the Mother Lode, started production recently with a 50-ton capacity flotation mill. The ledge consists of gold-bearins quartz 3,600 feet long and 1,200 feet wide, exposed the full distance. This ledge had beén tackled several. years ago, but by the latest scientific methoaf and modern equipment the Camp — Creek com pany now gets an amalgamation of 96 per cent as against 25 per cent an the past. ee ae The company consists of W.

And what a change at the old mine! The small ledge that Kenny and his dad were following had widened out. Enough ore had been blocked out to last several years. A new mill had been put up and seventeen men were working under Kenny who was now mine superintendent. Kenny was still the same easygoing, uneducated plodder. Still, you had to hold it to him, he had learned about gold mining even though he didn’t know that Shell Union preferred had dropped two points in the last week. As we go to press, Kenny is still mine superintendent, while Elwood is holding down a job on the same mine as a mucker. TRY THE..
