Get Facts—Tell Truth So far as Mr. Vanderlip and his false insin- uations are concerned it is perhaps not worth while to give further attention to that feature of the investigations going on at Washington. Mr. Vanderlip has called attention to the char, cter of the paper Mr. Harding owned and edited. The former banker with limited knowledge of newspaper values, overlooked somo things that gave an unusual but real value to the Marion Star. That paper was built up by Mr. and Mrs. Harding through long years of personal effort and by the maintenance of high ideals. Early in his newspaper career, Mr. Harding adopted certain rules for the government of his paper, among which was one that Mr. Vanderlip should learn. That one reads, “Be Truthful. Get the Facts.” Since the Marion Star has come to public at- tention under the attacks of Mr. Vanderlip, it will serve a good public purpose to reprint the rules which governed all the employes of that paper. The rules follow: “Remember there are two sides to every ques- tion. Get them both. “Be truthful. Get the facts. “Mistakes are inevitable, but strive for accur- acy. I would rather have one story exactly right than a hundred half wrong. “Be decent, be fair, be generous “Boost—don’t knock. “There's good in everybody. Bring out the good in everybody, and never needlessly hurt the feelings of anybody. - “In reporting a political gathering, give the facts, tell the story as it ig, not as you would like to have it. Treat all parties alike. “If there’s any politics to be played, we will play it in our editorial columns. “Treat all religious matters reverently. “If it can possibly be avoided never bring ignominy to an innocent man or child in telling of the misdeeds or misfortunes of a relative. “Don't wait to be asked, but do it without , asking, and, above all, be clean and never let a dirty word or suggestive story get into type. “I want this paper so conducted that it can go into any home without destroying the inno- cence of any child.” After McAdoo Style Tammany is proposing municipal ownership of all public utilities in New York>City. Tele- phones, telegraphs, electricity, gas, and transit are included in bills troduced by Mayor Hylan. If the measures pass, the Democrats will fill the offices, taxes will pay the deficits, and the people will get along as best they can under the poorer service delivered. Cowards to the Rear Chairman Adams of the Republican national committee has been deluged with letters and telegrams of congratulation on his call to. his party associates to rise up and begin an ag- gressive warfare against their “political traduc- ers.” The people of this country want their lead- ers possessed of the fighting spirit. Apologists. never commanded public support and the man who flinches every time his opponent makes a face at him can never win popular favor. Modification of Currencies Resulting from post-war financial and bank- ing contingencies many new currencies bearing unfamiliar names are making their appearance in Europe. Some of the seemingly new units to be old un The under new names HOMES! HOMES !! We have under construction eight This is the best part of the city. be changed to suit purchasers.

Notea issued by the Bank reserve of gold and foreign currencies. The gulden of the free state of Danzig is another unit lately adopted equal to one twenty-fifth of the pound sterling gold. which is approximately one gold franc. Lithuania has abandoned European preced- unit, the litas or lit, as one-tenth of the United States dollar. It is reported that there is a large reserve of gold and currency behind the notes and their value has been well maintained. Poland began the introduction of the gold standard on January 1, 1924 with a currency unit equivalent to the franc, for which the name zloty is used. Austria, having already stabil- ized its paper currency, has announced the in- troduction of a new silver “shilling” coinage. The representatives coin is to be equivalent to 10,000 kronen, or about one seventh of a dollar. Germany’s latest effort to reorganize its cur- rency consists in the issue of rentenmarks, a temporary currency limited to a period of two years. While the nominal value of a rentenmark is one gold mark ($0.238) the new issue is not convertible into gold. The security behind the new notes is land and industrial property on which the Rentenbank holds a forced mortgage. The Free City of Bremen has adopted an emer- gency currency in the form of notes which bear on their face their value in dollars and also the equivalent in gold marks. A novel plan was undertaken in Czechoslov- akia in the coinage of gold ducats which are not part of the regular monetary system and not considered legal tender. A certain quantity of bullion has been minted into ducats as “coun- ters of exchange” for use in domestic and for- eign trade. The most notable change is Russia's effort to} return to the gold standard by the issuance of, the chervonetz currency. This is in the form of bank notes for which a considerable reserve of gold and foreign currency is carried. The smallest denomination is one chervonetz, nom- inally equal to 10 gold rubles or $5.15. Cut the Politics The two most urgent public questions at the| present time are tax reduction and dealing with corruption which has been unearthed in official circles in Washington. + President Coolidge feels with all his fellow countrymen a depressing sense of: humiliation at the gross betrayal of public trust that has been disclosed. The taxation question as well as lax or crim- inal action of. officials performing public duty is a problem for both Republicans and Demo- crats. The people of the whole United States have an interest from the standpoint of lessen- ing tax bills and securing honest administration of public affairs regardless of what party is in, power. The pity is that self-seeking politicians will attempt to use the present situation to further personal political ends rather than to advance the best interest of our government. The people must register their approval of honest public officials and their demand for tax reduction if they expect to eliminate dis- honesty in public office or increasing tax bills. A Poor Foundation Mr. Doheny thinks Senator Walsh is laying the groundwork for his own candidacy for the presidency. Perhaps so, but no man ever was elected to the White House upon such a tissue of falsehood and innuendo as has marked the testimony before the Walsh committee. Mr. Walsh will have to find something more sub- stantial with which to attack the Republican administration before he can command yotes. Now they have gone and dragged McAdoo's son into the mess. If this thing continues, the man without oil stains will be as rare a bird as the man who does not have an automobile. As the matter looks at this moment, Hiram Johnson will not have much time to devote to spring planting and gathering his prune crop this year. Labor was prior to capital but property is the fruit of labor. Let no man, therefore, who is houseless, pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently to build one for him- self, thus assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built—Abraham Lincoln. Digging into the history of the matter, it is| an undisputed fact that Josephus Daniels, sec-| retary of the navy in the late Democratic ad-| ministration made the proposal, later en- acted into law, opening the door to leasing the naval oil reserves.

Prosperity has been restored, debt year 1923 ran $936,000,000 in our favor, with imports from Europe totaling $1,157,000,000 and exports to Europe totaling $2,093,000,000. This was a 17 per cent increase in that division, while |exports to Europe increased but | five-tenths of one per cent over jl the falling off in food exports most pronounced because of the return to normal production in Europe. But the increase in im. ports has, of course, been of ad- vantage to the Eurovean couhtries from which slightly over 30 per cent of our foreign purchases’ came, the bulk of them being manufactured goods. In our commerce with the rest of the world the balance against us was $560,000,000—the trade being $2,635,000,000 imports from and 75,000,000 exports to the five di ions, ‘Thus, in trade with the entire world we broke $376,000,000 ahead for 1923 in the exchange of commodities. But there are oth factors to consider, and which have not yet been reduced to fis ures: for example, the amount of money spent by American tourists abroad; remittances sent to Europe and elsewhere by foreigners em-|' ployed here, outward movements of || capital, ete., and money paid by us|] for movements of goods in foreign vessels. Our world trade totaled $7,960,000,000 of which 86 per cent was water-borne, and of this water borne foreign commerce 65 per cent came or went in foreign vessels. 1. e., $4,453,000,000 worth. It is gen erally estimated that the cost of this freight and insurance thereon 1s easily 10 per cent of the value of the goods, so this would m $445,000,000 as our freight bill for the year on overseas goods. For example, we sold to the United Kingdom $882,000,000 worth of* goods, and purchased from it $404,000,000 worth. But our freight bill to the United Kingdom was probably in excess of $250,000,000 and other items undoubtedly turned the balance the other way on the year’s transactions. In our trade with North America We came out $85,000,000 to the good trade with Canada being $236,000,- 000 in our favor, that with Centra’ America being $18,000,000, with the balance against us in other parts of the North American division. In the South American division the trade ran $198,000,000 against us while the Asiatic division scored $509,000,000 against us. To Oceania We exported $87,000,000 more than we bought from that division, while the trade with Africa was $26.000,- 000 against us. Gold imports totaled $323,000,000; exports $29,000,000, for the year, while silver exchange|| stood about even. Except for the tnereasing s i of gold, there is reason fhe Go eral satisfaction as a result of last year’s trade.
