General Managers Car Leaves Track

General Manager Arthur G Wells.
of the Santa Fe coast lines, was on the
ragged edge of being in wreck near
Rialto, Cal, last week. A broken rail
caused the trouble. AS it turned out
Mr.. Wells got nothing worse than a
pretty bad jolting. The rear truck of
his private car left the track and
bounced along on the cross ties for
fully two hundred yards before the
train could be stopped. The wrecker
had to be sent for and it was several
hours before the somewhat shaken up
general manager was back on the
track and speeding on his way.

PRICES AND PROSPERITY.
Revival OF Interest In the Quantita
tive Money Theory.

The bankers who formerly regarded
AS ludierous the assertion that the de-
monitization Of silver, which deprived
several billion dollars Of its money
quality, had an effect on prices are
now listening patiently TO expositions
OF the effect Of tho increased output
OF gold on prices aud are wondering
what the outcome will be. Last month,
at the annual meeting Of the Bankers
association, held at Wilkesbarre, in
that state, Dean Joseph French John
son Of the New York university school
Of commerce, accounts and finance, de-
livered an address in which be EN-.
phatieally asserted the doctrine that
the volume Of gold-that is, money,
for all gold Is potential money--di.
reetly affects prices. And he stated
his position in such fashion that
what he said win be very apt to
prove distasteful TO those who went
out Of their way TO ridieule the idea
that the value Of gold is variable. and,
like that Of other commodities, Is de-
pendent on its quantity. OF this sub
jeet he said,
''During the last ten years the out
put Of the worlds gold mines has been
increasing at an unprecedented rate.
In lsa0 Il amounted to tl19,000, 900;
in 1898 TO 100000, 600; by 1899 Il had
increased 70 SsO7, 100000 per annum,
aud in l9O4. according to the esti.
mate of our director Of the mint, 1t
amounted to over ss50,OOO,OOO. When
we consider that during the hrst so
years Of the nineteenth century the
total output Of both gold and silver
was less than ta,OOo,OOO while the
output Of gold alone in that period
was only eso0,OoO,0O0, or about sl6,,
5000 per annum, whereas in the last
fourteen years the output OF gold has
Amounted 10 nearly Ss,5oO,0 900, il is
not surprising that very grave ques
tions arise IN the minds Of thoughtful
men with regard 70 the probable fu,
toFe Of the valae OF gold, and with
regard 10 the effect upon human wei,
fare which changes in the amount Of

The abo~a sign in the window Of a

the state equivalent to paying taxes
"To discharge sufficiently this duty
every family should have at least
three children"
The reasons given for the tendency
TO smaller families or absolute child
essness in France are the heavy bur
den Of taxes and the requirement Of
military service for all able bodied
young men. The average tax on every
Frenchman is more than $25 year,
which is very heavy, considering the
poverty Of the masses. In England
the average is but 1895; Russia, s7.O4;
Germany, SLID.
A thing that tends to keep down
population in France is the general
rule that the eldest son inherits the
lant. The taxation of rents is another
factor Taxes are collected in pro-
portion TO the amount paid for rent.
The larger the family the greater is
the number Of rooms required, and
consequently the greater the taxation.
There is tax also upon doors and
windows, which operates in the same
way. Other things being equal, the
bachelor pays less taxes than the man
Of family.
II is argued that every mans duty
IS to rear three children; two to re.
place the parents and a third to add
10 the population or make good the
oss by emigration or other causes.
Accordingly measures have been pro-
'osed in the French parliament for
he taxation Of maids and bachelors
md families without children, and,
N the other hand, to provide compen-
alton, through relief from taxation,
or parents rearing more than three
hildren. The modification Of inheri.

Hes Is also proposed.
II is to be noted that, just as in the
United States, the lack Of fundicity is
ot chiefly among the poor but among
he well-to-do in France. Iu Paris
hildren are far less fashionable than
n the rural districts.
As yet fashionable sterility has not
Cne far enough to become n source
