the money has been congested and
where the stringency in currency and
the corresponding shrinkage of values
are not felt.
There is an object lesson In the
map which accompanies this table.
1t shows wildly how this change in
values has affected the different sec.
tons of the country.
What the Map Shows.
The portion which is shaded in
cludes New York, New England and
the middle Atlantic states. 1t is
that section which has profted by
the results Of the gold standard. OF
the states in this section, New Hamp.
shire and Vermont, which are largely
manufacturing states, and which con.
tain no large financial centers, show
a slight increase. Maine, Massa

trary on the part of the state and is
made only once in five years. This is
the case in Michigan, for instance.
In Rhode Island and Connecticut
there are no returns Of property for
taxatiOn-at least no figures showing
such returns could be obtained from
the proper officers Of the state. Of
the Others only North Dakota and
Delaware are missing, the expected
telegram from those states not hav-
ing reached here in time for this
article.
The figures presented are from the
official reports of the auditors and
COmptrOllerS of state in fOrty-three
states and territories. OF these
forty-three only twelve show an in
crease Of property valuations. The
remaining thirty-One show almost
uniform decreases. The total in
crease for the twelve states is $751;
800,753. OF this amount 1926, 1913, 4S2
comes from New York alone. Seven
ty per cent of the entire increase
in property valuations as shown by
these official returns comes from the
great money center of the union and
10 per cent of the remainder comes
from the two states Of Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts, each of them
strong financial centers, The total
increase in the remaining nine states
is only $50, ,O92.
Five Hundred 1ilIions Decrease.
Thirty-One StateS-and in using the
term states several territories are in.
cluded-ShOw falling off. The totaI
decrease in property valuations Of
those states is $500, 100.
This falling off is widespread
There is no overwhelmingly large
change in single state, as is shown
by New York, but the decrease i.
uniform all along the line.
In other words, the only large in
creases are at the big money centers-

property valuations Of the different
states Of the union from 1898 to 1894.
And in showing this it presents what
might be termed an official history of
the operations of the single gold

ent-could, the fact that under the
operations of this system, which has
been in full force within the past
year, the people have sustained great
losses, and that the money centers
have shown great increases in valua-

each citizen: that while IL is a govern
ment of enumerated powers, it has
within the limits of those powers all
the attributes Of sovereignty: that TO
it is committed power over interstate
commerce and to the transmission of
the mail; that the powers thus con-
ferred upon the national government
are not dormant but have been as
sumed and put into practical exercise
by the legislation Of congress; that in
the exercise of those powers it is COM
petent for the nation to remove all
distractions upon highways, natural
or artificial, TO the passage of inter-
state commerce or the carrying of the
mail: that while it may be competent
for the government Through the ex-
ecutive branch, and in the use of the
entire executive power Of the nationl
to forcibly remove all such obstruc-
tions it is equally within its compe-
tency TO appeal to the civil courts for
an inquiry and determination as to
the existence and character of any
alleged distractions, and if such are
found to exist or threaten TO occur, TO
invoke the powers Of those courts to
remove or restrain such distractions;
that the Jurisdiction OF the courts TO
interfere in such matters by injunc-
ton is one recognized from ancient
times and by indubitable authority;
that such jurisdiction is not ousted
by the fact that the Instructions are
accompanied by or consist of acts in
themselves violations Of the criminal
laws; that the proceeding by injunc-
tion is Of a civil character and may be
enforced by proceedings in contem-
plation that the penalty for a viola
ton Of such injunction is no subSti-
tute for and no defense to a prOsecu-
tiOn for any criminal Offenses commit
ted in the course Of such violation;
that the complaint filed in this case
showed clearly an existing obstruction
of artificial highways for the passage
of interstate commerce and the trans
mission of mails-an obstruction not
only temporarily existing, but threat
ening to continue: that under such
complaint the circuit court had pow
er to issue process of injunction; that
it having been issued and served on
these defendants, the circuit court
had the authority to inquire whether
its orders had been Obeyed, and when
it found that they had not been, then
to proceed under section 725, revised
statutes, which grants such power to
punish by imprisonment or fine, DISC
bedience by any party or other person,
to any lawful writ, process, order,
rule, decree or command, and to enter
the order Of punishment complained
Of; and, finally, that the circuit
court, having full jurisdiction in the
premises, It's finding of the fact Of
disobedience is not open to review on
habeas corpus in this or any other
court"

Pennsylyania-all of them show a
profit on the right side of the ledger.
The net increase for this section is
1912, l1O,555.
Coming to the southern states we
find slight increases in North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana.
There are decreases in all OF the
Others-Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia
Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
The slump has fallen fearfully
heavy in the south.
The figures show that the net de-
crease of valuations, or net wiping
out of property, in these states is $780,
2S4,5SO.
Only two of the western and middle
seates show an increase; they are
Minnesota and Missouri. The map
which is here drawn throws these
states in the central section,
in which also ale Idaho, H.
diana, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Here the net decrease is Sill, 500, 252
With the exception of Missouri and
Minnesota, not single state or terri
tory west of the Mississippi shows an
increase. The blow which has been
struck at the interests of that sec
tion is as severe as the blow which
has been struck at the south, and it
is felt everywhere. California, Wyo-
ming, Washington, Utah, South Da-
kota, Oregon, Oklahoma, Nevada,
Nebraska, New Mexico, Montana,
Kansas, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona
every one has felt the terrible blight
and has felt it bitterly. The result
is that the net decrease of property
valuation in that section is s2l6,671,.
