And the end is not yet. The Star proposes to keep up this fight fearlessly and relentlessly and ultimately to drive every one of these rascals out of town, The deeper this far-reaching iniquity is probed the worse the revelations become, Thousands of men and women in this city during the last 20 years have been systematically fleeced out of their little hordes of money. Millions of dol- lars have been literally stolen from then by conscienceless men engaged in this nefarious business. Lax state mining laws have been largely responsible. There has been no berrier erected against the fake promoter and his thieving schemes. Hie has been given every op- portunity to “work” the people. Tt is but just to say, however, that there are reputable mining men in this city and throughout the state of Wash- ington, who are conducting legitimate enterprises and who deplore the scandalous corruption which has besmirched and blackened the very name of mining in this state. Num- bers of these men have been and are aiding The Star int securing the material for its expose of these unpunished scoundrels. WHAT IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY IS DRASTIC LEGISLATION, WHICH WILL PROVIDE PENITEN- TIARY PUNISHMENT FOR THE PROMOTERS OF ALL FAKE MINING SCHEMES. The law should require that any mining company pro- posing to sell stock have at least one hundred feet of actual development work performed along the vein which it intends te exploit; that it should have in sight ore worth at least 10 per cent of its entire capital stock, and that it should be obliged to put at least 75 per cent of the proceeds of all stock sales immediately into the development work of the mine. A state board of inspectors should be provided to visit every mine before any stock is sold and see to it that all of the provisions of the law are fully obeyed. With such legislation in force most of the existing com- panies would be forced out of existence. The few remaining ones having some substantial basis would then offer a reason- ee ee ee eo It is the plain duty of every newspaper in this city to join in the work of breaking up the wildcat companies and saving the public from further losses. As The Star stated emphatically yesterday it has no de- Sire to injure legitimate mining enterprises in this state. It does intend, however, to show the people clearly the exact condition of this checkered industry, and to reveal its wreck strewn history during the last twenty years. Then any one who invests further wil! do so with a full understanding of the chances he takes. After the many fake mining companies have been driven out of existence, it will be time enough for the people to consider investments in the few legitimate remaining ones. Vile Advertisements Senator Graves’ bill, as introduced in the legislature, to prohibit the publication in newspapers of the details of crimes, executions, burnings, lynchings, etc., even tabooing all reports of palice court proceedings and criminal trials, goes somewhat too far. Such a newspaper as the senator would produce under this remarkable bili is one which he certainly would never read himself There is another feature of his bill, however, which should have been made a separate measure and enacted into law. It prohibits the printing in the newspapers of adver- tisements of medicines warranted to cure certain diseases. There should be law in this state and all other states to stop the printing of vile advertisements. A certain class of quacks and socalled “specialists” in Seattle and other communities make use of this kind of advertising to prey on the public. The Seattle Star at one time carried the advertisements of some of the advertising doctors who cared to take space im the paper, provided their advertisements were decent in tone. It also carried patent medicine advertising. Being finally convinced, through numerous revelations, of the damage that this class of advertising does, The Star threw it all out, regardless of the financial loss, and has since refused advertisements of this class, permitting only a few Osteopaths, ete., the use of its columns. r The Star is the only newspaper in Seattle today which follows this policy, and whose advertising columns, as well as its news tolumns, are absolutely clean. Let the Regents Alone The efforts which are being made to secure the passage through the legislature of a bill practically placing the Uni- versity of Washington and other state educational institu- tions under the management of the Board of Control, reveals once more the dexterous hand of politicians who are endeav- ofing to frame up a strong political machine. These schemes are not being engineered in the interests of education. The Board of Control already has enough power of a widely diversified character, without adding to # the totally foreign responsibility of handling the affairs af educational institutions. More Pay for Congressmen--How About the Others? Congress has at last found the nerve to openly Increase the sal- Gries of its own members from $5,000 to $7,500 a yoar The cry of protest that seemed to be feared is not raised. The Country has accepted the action as just. Perhaps the present pay of congressmen {a insufficient on ac @ount of the high cost of living. And the high cost of living is no Mere theory; it Is a fact of universal experience.
