It is said that all worldly prosperity “in native Africa depends upon the posses- sion of proper fetishes. K is the same everywhere; in the United States the fetish is gold. The Cleveland Indians have a real Indian in Twogood, a left handed pitcher, who is said to be real good, although it is said only dead Indians are good. But this is a live one who is good, in fact Twogood, if such a thing is possible in baseball. A new book on Andrew Jackson, nee governor of Florida, tells of the ‘funeral of Jackson's father when, after a good old Irish wake, the pall-bearers start on their cold march to the cemetery and arived at the grave—without the body. VALUES ARE GROWING The United States of America has been growing ever since the country achieved its independence and took its Place in the ranks of the nations of the world. In 1790 the population was just a few thousand short of 4,000,000 people. / Im 1840 the population had grewn to 17,060,000. : In 1890 the population had increased to almost 63,000,000. In 1930, the population had increased | to almost 123,000,000. Population has a very definite réla- tion to national wealth. Prior to the war, the property. value of realty throughout the country was about $1,500,000 to every 1,000 of the population. These figures are not mere guess- work, but were worked out in many sec- tions of the country and may be taken as a fair average. : The wealth of the country as applied to realty may therefore be considered as having increased to about thirty times what it was when the country was in its infancy. On the basis of value operative prior to the world war, the wealth of the realty of the country today would be about $184,500,000,000. This would be the realty value alone. The value of registered stocks and bonds is today about $25,000,000,000 © more, while the vast amount of wealth in the form of personal property is a still larger item. As a matter of fact, the statisticians of the U. S. government figure our national wealth at $329,738,000,000! This is quite a sizable amount. GIVE BUSINESS A REST In spite of the difficulties which be- rset all our major industries at the present, time, we find in congress and in our legis- Jatures political demagogues who would | further shackle business and industry by the passage of more drastic laws. The fear of further unfavorable legis- lation will undoubtedly have a tendency to delay and in some eases entirely pre- vent developments which would be under- taken if those interested could feel safer from legislative meddling. Two principa] deyices are employed by those whose aim in life is to harass business. One is the imposition of ever in- ereasing taxation; the other is the imposi- tion of ever increasing restrictions ander the guise of regulation, It can not be denied that both taxation and regulation are necessary, if un- pleasant, accompaniments of government. It is the extent of taxation and the degree of regulation that are important. There seems to be no limit to the burdens which some legislators are willing to place on the larger business enterprises. Under present cynditions it would be well to avoid making these burdens heavier than they are already. Them@gitators who clamer fer more taxation and more reg- ulation might well take a hotiday until business and industry get on their feet again. NOT INFLATION iste The present issue of nearly $3,000,- 000,000 in currency is not to be regarded as inflation. It is inflation of the currency, but it is not an inflation of value. Any country whose money supply is in the proportion of $12,000,000,000 to $329,- 000,060,000 of intrinsic value is not facing inflation. It is in reality facing trade stagnation because of the lack of fluidity of its own \ wealth. : Every dollar of the new issue of cur- rency is backed not only by the resources of the American people, but it is backed by almest $30.00 worth of actual intrinsic alue. lt is the soundest kind of money and it can never depreciate in acteal value, whatever it might do under the manipula- tion of juggling bankers. Fortunately the power of the banking leaders to juggle finance has been greatly lessened, if not permanently checked, by the entry into government finance of uthorities on political economy, who possess the ability to recognize financial fallacies and the courage to oppose and expese them. The day of here, intelligent finance is _THE KEY WEST CITIZEN satheroevedtonesopnrsagerccatsanonsesypeesent eecccccccsncoceccccccces| Daily Cross-word Puzzle CDP OPOPSCOHDeDoDE HEE HEE DcoAacEReDPeDtyeop—veL ‘Solution of Yesterday's Puzzle amen aoe HO} iRIATZ oir ir RO] AcROBS L Spur 6.
