TRUTH
NICoL HOODS CONUNDRUMS.
Editor Truth:


in case no one else calls your atten-
ton to them a few words from your
humble servant may not be out OF
place.
On page 2 an article entitled How
the News elected the American Coun-
Gil" you state that here were a waiting
vote of perhaps 5000 about p. M,
anxiously waiting for the appearance
of the Deseret News to see how the
cleo ion was going. According to your
article the news came out as sched-
uled its main feature being big dis
play of head lines stating big demo-
cratic gains and that seeing this state
ment in the News the Mormon voters
began hocking over to Morris and
that this slump of Mormon voters
from the republican ticket to the de-
mocratc ticket defeated Callister, re-
publican in the Third and Bennett,
republican in the Fourth.
Now Mr.. Editor, if your statement
is correct, and | suppose you believe
it is, have you not proved conclusive
ly that Mormon voters were waiting
purposely so as to vote whichever
way they would be directed by their
ecclastical superiors or what were
they waiting for?
Your article if true certainly proves
and endorses the American" party
charges that the church through its
presidents of stakes and bishops are
up to the neck in politics, something
your paper has went out of the way
to deny in vigorous if not abusive
terms not so long ago.
In regard to the other article en-
titled The Late Election" you bold
ly state that the Mormon voters stood
true to their party lines and that the
overwhelming American" vote rep
resents Gentle perfidy and Gentle
ignorance.
Now what puzzles good many
people is how 5000 Mormon voters
were waiting on election day at 3 p.
m. to see what the Deseret News had
to say and to find out which way to
flock-which way the vote was to be
directed and yet stood true to their
party lines, their pledges and their
honor.
You make the bold statement that
Plummer did not get more than 500
votes Of this 5000 after 3 p. m Is it
asking too much to inquire how you
make this out, and if you think
Mr. Editor if the Mormon voters
were left alone and given the right
10 vote as they please that such
things would ever happen again, if
it is true they did happen: In Article
No. 2, you say the results of the cleo
ton were such as could not have oc-
Cured anywhere in the world except
in Utah. If so there must be rea-
sons for this state of affairs, and in
my opinion the main reason is quite
apparent, Whenever presidents OF

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

the financial condition of this coun-
try and now a most unusual state of
affairs exists. Usually the bankers are
the creditor class. The merchant,
the manufacturer, the farmer, the
shop keeper and the public generally
are debtors 10 the bankers. Some
ties they can pay and sometimes they
can't. Now the condition is reversed.
The bankers are the debtors and the
public are the creditors and the bank
ers all over the country can't pay
and are asking for time, issuing pro-
missory notes and what are really
worthless checks in the form of clear
ing house certificates payable in cash
at some indefinite time in the future.
The greed of the bankers and finan-
ciers has brought this condition upon
themselves, using too little capital OF
their own and too much money be-
longing to other people left with them
for convenience and safe keeping.
Too much money was sent by coun-
try bankers to New York and other
financial centers to take advantage OF
the high rate Of interest Gin some
cases as much as 100 percenD for
call money. The crops have not
been moved We have the cotton,
the wheat, the corn and all the rest
OF the stuff that should have been
shipped to Europe and the gold re-
ceived in return. Extravaganza, in
haton of values and general riot
have also contributed to bring abour
the present stringency.
What makes things worse for the
lankers is the way people who have
been satisfied, to let the bankers use
their money for practically nothing are
withdrawing their cash and boarding
it. This is entirely unnecessary and
uncalled for, but the people are doing
it nevertheless. They don't need the
money but they just want to look at
it.
However the Salt Lake business
men and merchants generally are do
ing their share to help out the banks
and tide things over until the proper
equilibrium is restored. With con-
fdence all around things in Salt Lake
will come out all right and nobody
will lose anything. But, and here is
great big but, the condition that has
come upon the nation will result in
currency reform. Something will
have to be done in the way of repeal
of the special favors which the pres
ent system confers on banks and fin
ances which enables them to wax fat
at the expense of the people.
The current issue of Golfers week
ly has the following on this subject
THE panic shows the need for cur
rency reform
After the financial panic events fol-
lowed the usual course. When the

take bank-notes but there was no way
of rapidly increasing the supply OF
notes to meet the emergency. Con-
sequently the reserve money was
drawn out and largely boarded in safe
deposit vaults, tin cans, and mattress
ses. Every dollar so hidden away
meant the destruction of four dollars
of bank credits.
What was needed was an acceptable
circulation medium, in sufficient guam
tity to meet the daily needs of bust
ness at a time when the ordinary sup
ply of money was to a great extent
in hiding. Every device permissible
under the laws was adopted, and in
some cases the law was pretty severe
ly strained IN substantially all the
cities of the country the banks dis
pensed with currency payments
among themselves by issuing Clear
ing House certificates. They engaged
about $3o,ooo,ooo of gold for import,
rushing forward cotton, wheat, cop
per, and other products to establish
new credits abroad. American Sc
curites were sold in great volume to
n lar
Arrangements were made to increase
the bank-note circulation by using
Government bonds previously held as
security for Treasury deposits and
substituting other collateral for the
latter purpose.
With all this, there was still
shortage in the supply of currency
passing from hand to hand. Specu-
lators bought money at premiums
of two or three per cent, paying in
certified checks. In many cases wag-
es were paid wholly or partly in
checks, which went to pay trades
mems bills. Some banks issued cash
ier's checks for one dollar and up
ward, with view to having them go
into general circulation-a scheme
which scraped the very edge of the
law. In short, all the experiences of
the panic of 1893 were repeated The
straits of the business world, confined
TO no section, but extending to every
corner of the Union, suddenly
brought 'he question OF curren-
cy reform out of the shadows of
abstract discussion into the spot light
of the most practical kind of prac-
teal politics. No great reform is ev-
err adopted in this country because it
seems theoretically desirable. There
must be the pinch of an urgent pres
cnt necessity. The psychological
moment for currency reform seems
to have come; the President is known
TO favor it; the bankers, who have
never n able to unite before, are
unde w bonds to agree now, the
politicians have the necessary stimu-
lus of popular interest and the out

VERMONT'S BIG HAY CROP
Backward Season Forces Price
Up to $40 Per Ton.

st. Adams. VT, July 12.-The back
ward weather condition of the spring
has resulted in the price of hay rising
to the record-breaking quotation of $50
ton in this, the last week before cut
ting the new crop. Between $14 and
$1S has always been the average price
of hay just before the July harvest in
years past.
Reports from all sections of the State
indicate that the new crop will be an
abundance Of fine quality. AS hay is
the great crop upon which Vermont re-
lies more than any one thing else, this
prospect of bountiful harvest means
fat pocketbooks for the farmers and in
dicates general prosperity for the Green
Mountain state this fall.
Scarcity of farm laborers at this busy
season is also reported from many sec

Official Paper Of the City of hayre
LaFOLLETTE FOR PRESIDENT.

Presidential politics are likely to be
involved in the coming senatorial fight
i'll Wisconsin for successor to John
C. Spooner. If Senator LaFollette
wins and dictates the election, 1t Is
through he will see to 1t that Isaac
Stephenson, the immensely wealthy
lumberman, is chosen. In this case,
with Stephenson attached to his
cause, LaFollette will have the neces-
sary financial backing for his cam
lalgn for the presidential nomination
by the republican party, backing
which he will assuredly need If he Is
to become a factor. To make it cas-
Ter for LaFollette it is stated that Ste
phenson has agreed in advance that If
elected to the senate for the term
afterwards, and thus will leave the
way open to the senate for other lead
ers, especially for Lenroot. who Is
the undoubted first choice Of the party
in the seate. AS Lenroot is close
friend to LaFollette he will most like
ly consent to occupy the back of the
stage for two years more in. order to
The Havre herald. [volume] (Havre, Mont.) 1904-1908, 1907-03-22

assist LaFollette in his laudable am
bition tor the presidency 1t is said at
Washington that there is no denying
that LaFollette has strong thought
as yet unorganized presidential back
ing, which is strongest, as yet, in the
middle states and in the west. One
Of the senators from Oregon recently
stated that nobody could take the de-
legation from Oregon away from La
Toilette if the latter should ask for it.,
and the state of Washington is report
ed as almost strong for him. Further
it is said that though President Roose
welt was not at first kindly disposed
toward the Wisconsin senator, he has,
since knowing him better, come to
think and feel more warmly towards
him, and to believe that he is one OF
the most, if not most available man
for the nomination. The republicans
of the west may yet march to the
next national republican convention
carrying LaFollette banners and
cheering for Bob.

JUDGE TELLS HOW TO SAVE
MONEY!

Judge Tattan made a suggestion
to the county commissioners, which
if carried out will result in saving
the county a large sun. OF money
every year. He recommended that
the board allow the county attorney
the necessary and proper expenses
to carefully investigate the merits
and chances Of conviction in every
case before the same is brought into
district court. Numerous cases have
been brought to the district court
which 4 trip to the scene Of the al
legged crime and an investigation Of
the same by the county attorney
would have been dropped before be-
ing dragged into court at a heavy ex-
pense, with, a poor chance of securing
a conviction./ It is a well known
fact that the salary of the county at
torney will not allow him to make in
designations at his own expense, hence
the suggestion of the judge The plan
has been followed in Chouteau county
for number of years with success an
has resulted in an enormous saving

MAKING THE
DESERT BLOOM
Mexico and Canada Interested in
What is Being Done in Dry
Farming.

Prof. H. w. Campbell, of Lin
coin, Neb. known everywhere as
the father of farming for the semi
arid region, has just gone to the
Canadian northwest under the au-
spices of the Canadian govern
ment to lecture for three weeks
telling what is being done in the
western states to make farming
possible in the dry country. He
has recently made an extensive
tour of old Mexico on the same
kind of errand, the government
having large tracts OF land which
it is desired shall be brought un-
der cultivation. He has also just
made two trips to California on
the same work, and the past win
ter has lectured in a half dozen
states where farming the semi-arid
lands has become a reality.
Such has been the success of
the new movement in the west
that Prof. Campbell is almost as
we'll known in Canada and Mexico
as in the states. 1t is reported
that opportunities for this special
kind of farming are many in these
neighboring countries.
1t is perhaps overstating the
matter to advertise that the des-
erts are a-bloom with verdure, but
it is true that a work of vast i'm
portance has been done in recent
years in demonstrating what can
be accomplished by proper meth
DDS of cultivation in growing fine
crops where only small grass was
known before and in doubling and
trebling ordinary crops on old
land, and the work is only fairly
begun. 1t means an almost indef-
