and cannot get it. 1t is simply an
endless chain of shorts which will
be relieved as readjustment works
out. There is not bank in the west,
| believe, that has not to its actual
credit and deposited with another
bank, more than its assets. Not one
of them is short. The per capita of
money in circulation is now greater
than it has ever before been in the
history of the nation. In round fig
ures there were 100000, 1000 in cir
culation in 1893, with a population
in the country estimated at seventy
millions At this time the popula-
ton of the country is, roughly
speaking, eighty-five millions, an in
crease of 20 per cent AT the same
time, the volume of money i'm circu-
lation has been increased to fifteen
hundred millions of dollars, or more
than three hundred per cent what il
was i'm 1898!
THAT does not go to show that
the country is poverty stricken. What
the actual cause of the present
shortage may be, it is very hard to
state. There seems to be a diversity
of opinion with regard to that but it
is not enough money to go around.
1.-THE right thing for every Garner,
every man who draws a paycheck to
do, is to put that pay check into the
banks the moment he gets it, and to
pay all of his small accounts with
checks. That is the only sane, con-
sistent and conservative method for
one to follow, and if everyone would
do that, there would not be the pos
sibility of a run on the banks, and
everyone would be away ahead finan-
cially in short time by following
that policy.
"If every one hides his money,
takes it away from the banks, We
would all be ashore in a short time,
the big ones as well as the little ones.
What we must do. what must be
done if we all want to come out of
this thing whole, is for all of us,
the big ones and the little ones, to
work together as a unit. Each one
should try to do his part, and We
will all be better off"

year, and there has been no partic-
uar inconvenience felt"
That trade is good is evidenced by
the crowded shops. They are
thronged with shoppers at all hours,
and the shoppers are making pur-
chases 1t is not only the necessaries
of life that are being bought. The
florists are selling as many flowers
as ever; the confectioners are deal
ing out the sweets in the same old
way: the dry goods stores have their
bargain and special sale counters and
departments thronged from opening
to closing. The merchants are not
disposed to haggle over prices. They
do not have to do it. They put their
prices on the goods and the CUSTOM
ers buy them in the same care free
way they have always done. One
would not know that there is a short
age of currency, except for the cash
ier's checks, exchange slips. and per-
sonal checks that are in circulation.
On making small purchase today
| found had no real money in my
pocket All | had was an exchange
on a Denver bank
Il am sorry" I said to the shop
keeper, but | have no money with
me. have exchange here, however,
which I must get cashed.
DO not trouble to have it cashed.
we will give you part cash and part
exchange for it.
And the shopkeeper did SO. His
endorsement on the smaller exchange
made it as good as a bank note, for
he is known There might occasions
arise, however, where it would be in
convenient for stranger to effect
such changes. but as rule the mer-
chants are familiar with the eX-
changes, and have no fear of being
'buncoed."
This clearing house rule is moth
ing new" said Col. Charles Burton
cashier of the State Bank of Utah.
1T has been tried before when there
was a shortage in ready cash, and
was found to be eminently success
full. In 1898, in New York, clearing
house certificates were issued to the
value of one hundred millions of dol
lars, taking the place of recognized
and legalized currency in every way.
In that way, one hundred millions
of dollars of substitute currency that
was exactly of the same purchasing
power as real money found its way
into the channels of trade and the
stringency was thus relieved. That
is what virtually every bank in the
country is doing today They have
the money to redeem these clearing
house certificates and exchanges, but
they cannot get at it.
For example: You may have
money in this bank. and want it;
we cannot give it to you because we
have our money in a bank in Den
yer and cannot get it because they
have theirs in a bank at New York

ed in discharge of the man and the
woman because of the inability of
Punches to bring witnesses to sustain
his story, all the evidence being pro-
duced from the other side. the money
was returned by Justice Cartwright to
the roulette wheel operator, who
swore that Punches lost it gambling
at his device.
The story of Punches is believed by
all who know him. He asserts that
he entered the place and after taking
a couple of drinks played few dol
lars at the wheel The roulette man
then bought a drink Shortly after
this Punches felt sick and went out
side the house. He was approached
there by man and woman. who
told him to go inside before he caught
could. He was then in dazen con-
dition and refused to go. He then re-
allied that his pockets were being
taken but was unable to speak or
move The next morning those who
saw him at his place of work realized
that he was suffering from drug.
He did not shake off the effect until
noon.
Punches lost considerable money
several years ago through bank
failure at Butte, since when he has
kept his money on his person at all
times The sum stolen from him last
week represented the savings of
couple of years The decision of the
justice court related above practically
removes all hope of his recovering
any part of the money. The justice
could. of course. render decision only
within the facts as brought out in
the testimony presented. Only the
saloon crowd was present at the time
of the robbery and of course il saw
the affair but one way.
