CURRENCY SYSTEM A
MERE PATCHWORK
CENTRAL BANK NOT WANTED
A Red Hot Speech by Hayes
N. c., of California

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. Repre-
sentative Hayes of California today
addressed the house on the finan
cial question. He held up the cur
rencv system of the United States
as the worst used today by any
country. He denounced the AID
rich bill and ridiculed the PROPOSE
ton for central bank.
The trouble with the currency of
the United States, he declared was
its inelasticity.
The so-called currency system
he characterized as patchwork.
He said that under the present
system we can but wonder that
we have been able to accomplish
wonders with so few financial up
heavals. y
Only the ability and ingenuity or
tine American banks and business
men, he said had made that posi-
bic.
Coming to the question of a cen
trail bank of issue Mr.. Hayes de-
clared that the proverbial snow
ball has Just as much chance to live
in Hades as a central bank has to
last at this time in the United
States." Andrew Jackson, he said
did a great and glorious thing
when he destroyed the United
States bank.
Mr.. Hayes characterized as a
fallacy" the idea that it was the
United States bond behind the ma
tional bank note that made 1t as
good as gold the world over. Their
notes, he said, will be as good as
gold everywhere as long as the
government and the banks express
willingness and the ability to re-
deem them OH demand in gold or
it's equivalent, and you cannot
change this he said, no matter
how many or what kind of bonds

PRIMARY ELECTION
LAW REMINDERS
INTERESTING MATTER TO ALL
Hints to Voters Worthy of Close
And Careful Study
PRIMARY ELECTION
MATTER TO ALL

In the approaching state and
congressional elections the voters
Washington will have their first
opportunity under the new primary
law of expressing first and second
choice for candidates. This pro-
vision of the law applies only to
candidates for state offices or for
congress. 1t becomes effective
when four or more candidates of a
political party are running in the
primaries for one office.
In such case the law requires
every voter at the primary election
to designate one first choice and
one second choice. If he fails to
do so his ballot will not be count
ed. He must not vote for the
same person as first and second
choice.
When the ballots are counted, if
any candidates shall have received
40 per cent or more of the first
choice votes or his political party,
the candidate receiving the highest
number of first choice votes will be
declared the nominee, withour ref
erence to the second-choiCe votes.
If, however, none of the four or
more candidates receive 40 pet cent,
a canvass is to be made of the
second choice votes. The first and
second choice votes of such candi-
dates are to be added together, and
whoever has the highest number of
combined votes becomes the NOM
inee.
By this arrangement the leader
in first choice votes, unless he has
40 per cent, may yet lose the nom
nation. One who has compara-
lively few first choice votes may be
so strong in second choice as to
bring his total ahead of the leader
in first choice with, prehaps, only
a small number of second choice.
A near approach to the election
of United States senators by popu-
lar vote is provided for in the new
primary law in this state. Declar
atoms of candidacy are to be filed
with the secretary of the state, and
the names of senatorial candidates
will be placed on the ballots fol-
lowing the candidates for state Of
fees. The voter can then express
his preference for United States
senator at the same time he is vot-
ing the nomination of candidates
TOR other offices.
The secretary of state must certl-
fy to both houses of the legislature
the names of the persons of each
political party for whom the high
est number of votes was cast at the
primary election, the certificates to
be filed on the first day of the SEES
sion of the legislature converting
next after the primary election.
1t is not made obligatory on
member of the legislature to elect
the candidate for whom preference
Shall have been expressed, but ordl-
narily they would be expected tc
do so. TO provide a measure OF
assurance that they will vote III &C
cordance with the wishes of tho
people section of the primary law
says that any candidate for STATE
senator or state representative may
tlle with his declaration of candi
dacy another declaration as follow.

And lose the shade Of gloom

torney Darrow.
81 don't know answered the wit
ness. He shouldn't have been. He
was a plumber
This created a ripple of laughter in
the court room.
In DR.. Clark's opinion, the opera
ton performed by DR.. Berry was
worth from $3.50 to $500; the nursing,
care. attention and incidental bills
about $65.
THE murder out of which this case
grew occurred on Sunday, August 12.
York, it seems. had been abusing his
wife while in drunken condition. and
had driven her out of the house, clad
only in her night clothes. James Duff,
le owner of the cottage in which they
were staying. interfered.
York went down Seventh street and
Dun followed. The men engaged in n
struggle during which the revolver
Duff had in his hands exploded. Three
bullets penetrated Yorks body and he
fingered between life and death for a

In the county court of Garfield coun-
ty yesterday and today there was held
a trial of considerable interest to many
Grand Junction people.
1t will be remembered that Otis
York. a plumber of Grand Junction,
was shot and killed by James Duff in
Glenwood Springs a year ago. Now
DR.. w. f. Berry has brought suit
against Garfield county to recover
$3.50 that he claims is due him for per-
forming operation on York after
he had been shot and for attending
him until his death.
In it's account of the trial the Glen
wood Post says in part:

ty for an operation, and care following
it for one week, that was performed
upon Otis York. August 10, was begun
by Dr. w. f. Berry.
"rhe county commissioners have dis
allowed his bill for $3.50 which the ply
sician stated was a compromise, and
has taken the position that Garfield
county is not liable for the amoupt
demanded.
whether or not the dead man was
n pauper was the question around
which the legal skirmish occurred this
morning.
attorney Taylor asked DR.. Berry If
he knew that the county cared for
paupers, and the physician said that
he did not know anything about York $

any questions

TELLS OF TRIP
ACROSS COUNTRY

in our wagon over night.
The next morning we had to wait
for a drove of cattle 1,600 head) to
pass. They were going to Bear river
for pasture. 1t was a fine sight, those
excellent cattle.
We drove that day about 30 miles.
We were then in the great sheep coun-
try. We camped in a sheep camp that
night. There were over 400 sheep
there. 1t was a most interesting place.
We left the sheep camp in the morn
ing about o'clock, and we kept going
all forenoon. We took lunch at Sep
aration bridge. We saw sage hens,
but did not kill any. The wind was
cold all day.
At Sixteen-Mile ranch we replenished
our water supply. and we stopped
miles further on for the night.
The next morning we drove into
Rawlins about 10 am. July l3. 1t is
town of 400 people on the Union Pa
cifc railroad. This is the first rail
road town we have visited since leav-
ing Rifle Colo.
