DISCRIMINATING
AGAINST SILVER

According to Frank J. Hare, Il Kansas
City banker, there will soon be IL famine
of silver money in the west unless, the
government resumes it's former practice
OF shipping the silver dollars which drift
eastward back to the west, Mr. Hare
sums up the situation thllsly:
As long ago as ten or fifteen years
the. east began refusing silver dollars
and calling for currency The west re-
fused to accept paper. In order to re-
organize the silver mining States of
Colorado, Nevada and others the Trea-
Sury Department kept silver current,
going to the length Of delivering silver
dollars ut the banks from the nearest
sub-treasury without requiring the
banks to pay the carrying charges.
"A draft for 81, 900 from a Kansas
City bank to the ubtreasury at st.
Louis got one Thousand silver dollars
delivered at the bank in Kansas CITY
1t cost the government $125 to make
the delivery. Silver finds it way east
ana thousands upon thousands of silver
dollars are carried east in the pockets of
travellers every week, never TO come
hack Once carried east the money
goes into hiding The eastern mer.
chants who get it send it to the bank.
and when they draw out the money
they call for paper
THE west used to make ub for this
disappearance by getting the govern
ment to make the original shipment.
AS L have said, the Treasury Depart
ment no longer does this. We cannot
afford to pay Sl.25 for every 81 900, and
1t Is quite plain To see why this is SO
when say that ten thousand or twenty
Thousand silver dollars would last no
time at all ill IL big bank"
Just why the people in the eastern
section of the country should have taken
such an aversion to silver money il is
impossible to state. A great majority
OF them would not bend beneath the
weight if all their earthly possessions
were turned into silver and sacked
The prejudice exists, however, and will
probably continue until the country gets
tired OF having it's financial affairs
managed by j. p. Morgan 81 Co., with
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the monc.
tary commission. as the mouthpiece Of
the senate.

his bills with greater care and IL
not drawing quite so liberal an al.
lowance from the county.
Another peculiar thing Is the
manner in which the present COZ
tract with Morrison was entered In
to. The contract is for two years
from July s. 1907. but was not exc
cuted until September IS. 1908. If.
ter the primaries had shown that q
new administration was probable in
the county commissioners ONCE.
The records Of the commissioners
proceedings show that Morrison
was employed In July, 1907, for two
years, but no salary was stipulated.
The contract made Ia months later
was intended to cure this defect
and insure the continuation notice
of DIR. Morrison after the new COM
missioners took charge. The pros
ecuting attorneys office has held
that this contract of Morrison Is
binding until its expiration next
July.
The law of 1907. under which
Morrison was reemployed. left the
matter Of compensation OF county
health officers entirely with tho
county commissioners. Morrison
has held the position of county
health officer for over four years.
1t has often puzzled officials about
the court house as to how he man
aged to maintain the good graces Of
the commissioners. as he had no po-
litical following.
