In of ) it ie Seiad nt an act of congress or & propnoae by a federal board can ee the gold dollar, ica nonetary ul oie hat makes tho American dollar unstable in purchasing power? The World War, paper or credit money to the point of inflation, decrease production of commodities as compared yy the world over. The condition is money e ) ion i oa wide, and the effect is felt in the United | States, as a matter of course, toa greater or less segrilo it is impossible to select any commod.- | ity haying value in itself that will be absolutely | fixed in exchange value, nevertheless the next thing is to select some article or a quantity oe a certain article that will remain approximately stable, or possess the least possible fluctuation. The United States has selected 25.8 gold, nine- ine. St esot to stabalize the purchasing power of 258 grains of gold (the American unit or dol- lar) is another way of fixing or stabilizing prices, which obviously is impossible. Price is value, translated into terms of the unit or dollar. Both price and value are eS) and can not be stabilized or fixed. All that con- gress or any governmental agency can do is to} fix the amount of gold in the coin called the dol-| lar or unit. That gives meaning and approximate certainty to the world dollar. No human agency | n go beyond that.

To supply the need for ready money and temporary credit, the War Finance corporation’s powers were extended to make emergency loans, and it loaned to agricultural and livestock interests at the rate of over a million dollars a day for over} a year. To stop the importation of farm and products and protect the home market of the American producer, the farmers’ emergency tar- iff was enacted. Relief due to this legislation was immediate, Under this Republican administration more’! fundamental, constructive legislation has been} enacted in behalf of farming interests than ever before in the history of the United States. _ The federal banking system has been reorgan- ized so that today the farmer and livestock man can obtain needed credits on terms even more liberal than mercantile interests are granted. Supplemental to the agricultural credits act was the amendment of the warehousing act. These two pieces of legislation enable the grain farmer mediately after harvest at a sacrifice. Another important piece of legislation design- ed to assist the farmer in profitably marketing his products was the co-operative marketing act. tures act, the filled milk bill standards act. It should be emphasized that the Republican administration enacted all legislation requested and recommended by representatives of reliable farm organizations. Further readjustments to} relieve some phases of agriculture seem neces- sary. They are now being worked out by Presi- dent Coolidge and his cabinet. Representatives of the agricultural sections needing relief are being called into conference with the president for the purpose of formulating a practical, help- ful program. As soon as it is agreed upon it will receive the support of the Republican party. | The agricultural interests realize that in every | crisis conditions have been straightened out by| the sound, progressive policies of the Republican and the butter Disposing of Its Traitors The good work continues in union labor circles in its declared purpose of ridding itself of rad- icals.

The crash was caused by the lack of gas and a forced landing was the re-| sult. Pilot Blanchard had intendea to stop at the Rock Springs field to refuel but owing to a heavy dust storm was unable to locate the field. Blanchard, with Mechanic Max C. Henne, was flying from the St. Louis air meet, and when he was near LeRoy he encountered a dense fog and storm, and run out of gas. He picked out a knoll on which to| land, made the descent at a speed of 80 miles an hour, but the plane taxied up the incline and over an embankment. With the impact, Blanchfields safety belt snapped and he fell, landing on his head, and He recovered and looked around for his companion, who was squirming in the wreck- age. Both of the men wero bruised up a little but nothing serious. They made their way to the rail-'tons, and the sheriff's office is in-;ever, he seems none the worse for road and came to Rock Springs on a freight train. The same evening they left for Salt Lake City, from which point they continued their way west. The damaged plane will be en- tirely rebuilt at the Rock Springs Air Mail machine shops and will again be placed in service. Suggestions By Tree Expert BY J. E. FREEM.

In other words, the purchasing power of! the dollar of account declined. No act of congress or any other federal agency to stabilize it would have had any effect. During 1920 and 1921, the purchasing power declined so far as farm products were concerned in other words, prices of farm products declined. At the same time, the purchasing power of the dollar increased somewhat, so far as many man- ufactured products were concerned. Supply and demand and cost of production (80 per cent la- bor) explains that phenomenon so far as manu- factured goods were concerned. Imagine attempt- ing by law or proclamation to reconcile those; two economic conditions! Impossible! In the course of a year’s domestic business, as a rule, men or corporations are both creditors | and debtors. Any decline in the purchasing pow- er of the dollar affecting creditors injuriously affects them favorably to a like degree when they are debtors. In other words the scales balance fairly well, in time except in the case of non- praducers or the idle. There is no such thing as absolute stability or inertia, either in physics, economics or fi nance. Everything moves and changes even the American gold dollar, somewhat. But this does not prevent our making measurements, calcula- tions and equitable business engagements by the aid of what seems to be approximately fixed and stable. There must be some starting point, some unit, in all human activities. Agriculture Recovering From Bankruptcy With the exception of the wheat farmer, all agricultural interests aro in much better condi- tion than at any time during the last three years, and the prospects are growing brighter. Tt was three years ago this fall that agricul- ture suddenly found itself in distress. Practi cally without any warning credits were restrict ed at the very time the 1920 harvest came into market. This harvest had been produced at peak cost. During the war and following, the Democratic administration urged the farmer to put forth every energy and use every resource to produce the maximum .It was in respense to this call of the government that agricultural interests had made large investments and purchased exten- sive equipment, often incurring tremendous lia- bilities in doing so. The sudden restriction of agricultural credits doubly embarrassed the farmer because the re- striction of credit in other lines immediately les. sened the demand for farm products with the re- sult the farmers had no market for their high priced crops and faced a demand for payment of their debts. At the same time depression overtook the in- dustrin!] world, which directly affected the pros- perity of millions and their purchase of farm products, Moreover, imports of farm and dairy products under the Underwood tariff, then in effect, were causing a break in prices at the pri- employes that may arise, with clean hands and) greater public sympathy. | ] | Who Balled Up the Railroads | Henry Ford and William G. McAdoo, eminent democratic statesmen are in a red hot argument | to settle the point as to whether William when | director general of railroads during the war) balled up the transportation lines himself or) permitted the big interests to do the job. Henry) maintains the roads were gloriously balled up, | in which view the entire country concurs. William denies that there was any balling up by himself or by anybody else. While the argument proceeds the bystanding public agrees that Henry’s effort to get the boys out of the trenches by Christmas 1914, and Wil-} liam’s effort to direct the railroads during the period of government control are a standoff. The one attempt being just as successful as the other. These contenders for the Demoratic presidential nomination should set a better example in har- mony and live issues or some other guy will walk off with the bacon. Bernstorff Not Improving Now and again out of Germany comes a noise, slight, but recognizable as issuing from our once friend Count von Bernstorff, former German| ambassador to the United States. | The count has taken up the league of nations and has developed into quite a fan on behalf that once much discussed but now almost for- gotten cure for world troubles. The count is very sen to have Germany join. He notes the growing influence of the league and its complete triumph in the Corfu incident, its object having been fully attained, We fear the count has made little or no ad vancement since he departed from our shores. As we recall the matter, his reputation for jtruth and veracity had suffered considerab!; prior to his leave-taking and his honor was some- what smirched by his conduct and activities while representing a friendly nation in a peace- ful country. | The count was an entire stranger to truth in jthat day, and if he hopes to impress anyone |with what he states with reference to the league jof nations, now, he shows no evidence of im- provement since we last saw him on this side.
