He's looking for evidence against you"
gfinly answered one of the other officials.

the Bank of California went to

SO valuable that Sharon and D.

they have now a string of some

SlUO,OO0,OOO in gold on which not penny in
interest IS earned. The treasury keeps reserve
OF Sl50OO0OO0 in gold for the redemption of green
backs and there are $S60O00O00 in gold deposited
against the issue of gold certificates. That is all
dead money in the banking sense 1t rs the founda-
ton tor neither note issues except gold certificates
dollar for dollar, nor credits except in SO far as
the issue of greenbacks about $360000000 is con
cerned. If this hoard were placed in the custody
OF great central bank, they now propose, Is
per cent of it could be made to interest. In
return the bank would perform the treasury func-
tions of the government. These facts supply the
inspiration of the present movement in favor of
great central bank 1t is declared that such bank
invested with power to issue notes, business
might demand would give elasticity to the cur
rency and this is true but the reaf reason never
mentioned AS for elasticity, that is sometimes
only another name for initiation.
INITIATION NOW
There is obvious imitation at the present moment.
The extraordinary rise in the cost OF living is largely
due to this cause They tell us that the largely
increased production of gold has caused the rise
in prices and this of course, is true at bottom. 1t
is true because, for every dollar in gold that is
added, the banks issue credits for So That is to
say the bank holds a reserve of about 25 per cent
in gold and issues credits of equal purchasing
power for the other Is per cent That is elasticity
1t is admirable system until people get fright
ened and want their money in hurry. When they
all want it at once they can't get it. The whole
towering edifce of banking is based the equation
that 25 per cent is equal to 100 per cent. In ordi
nary times that is true.
The banking capital, rather the deposits OF
the United States, are estimated in round figures
at ST 100000. Consider the effect of compound
interest working on this tremendous total after
allowing for expenses of handling. 1t seems reason
able to conclude, then, that banking credits are
increasing faster than the wealth of the country
and therefore the purchasing power of money is less

DIVIDING THE CoNGRESsMEN


A good deal of speculation is current concern
ing the next congressional apportonment of Cali
fornia. 1t is assumed that the basis of apporton-
ment will be one representative for every 225O00
of population. That basis would probably give
one additional congressman. The people of the
south taking it for granted that they entitled
to the extra man, but they seem to have reckoned
without the great increase of population. Alameda
county. 1t is quite certain that Oakland and
Berkeley or Oakland and Alameda will have more
than sufficient population to entitle them to con-
stitute full district 1t is not impossible that
Oakland alone may supply the requisite showing
without going outside its charter limits The
southerners claim that the present first district
must be enlarged to take in additional territory.
in order to make up the quota and this not impos-
sibe. They say that Los Angeles county will be
entitled to two congressman, they claim
population of at least 100000 That may be true
but Los Angeles estimates in this regard are con-
venently elastic The San. Francisco districts seem
likely to remain very much they are, but I shall
be surprised if the counties in the San Joaquin val
ley do not make much better showing than the
southerners are willing to concede toN them. Of
course, if the state should be able to show popu-
lation greater than 100000 that might give us.

SMELL OF BRIMSTONE

English humorist and actor. He met on a visit to
the country simple minded farmer who, having
just buried rich relation, who an attorney,
full of complaints about the great expense of
country funeral instancing the amount he had
spent on scarfs, hat bands, carriages, etc. why"
asked Foote, do you mean to say that you bury
your attorneys I'M this part OF the country ITO
be sure, said the puzzled farmer what else should
we do?" "Oh, we do that in London
Really What then do you do with them2'
"Why, when one happens to die we lay him out in
a room by himself over night, lock the door, open
the window, and in the morning he IS gone
EXTRAORDINARY cried the other in amazement;
what becomes of him." "Oh, that we,can't exactly
tell, replied Foote, solemnly; "all we know is

HOW ABOUT NEEDHAM?

The San Diego Union says on this subject:
It is believed that the FIVE southern counties
OF the eighth district-San Diego. Imperial, River
side, Orange and San Bernardino-win show the
population requisite for district 1t can be said
too that such new district would have the adj
vantage OF conlpactness and perhaps
aty of interest, although, so far as known there is
no friction between any portions of the present
eighth district Should these FIVE southern coun-
ties be formed into district, there would be left
of the district represented by Mr. Smith only
Inyo Tuare, Kern, Ventura, Santa Barbara and
San Luis Obspo-probaby not enough for dis
trct. 1t has been suggested that Kings and
Fresno now in the sixth district, might be
ferred the Smith district and that Sacramento
might be given the sixth. Advocates of this
plan express themselves confident that Repre-
sentatives Smith, Needham and McKinlay, who
presumably expect to besin the congressional field
in 1912, have objection the arrangement
One wonders how Needham would like that
arrangement. Fresno has always been one of his
strongholds. He might not find Sacramento so easy.
LAWYERS BOOK KEEPING
The Fresno Republican indulges in this curious
speculation concerning attorneys and their book
keeping;
Abe Ruef demands an temized bill from At
torney Charles H. Fairall who is suing him for
his fee That is not fair No attorney could safely
put itemized bill for the of services it
was necessary to render to Ruef 1t recalls the
old story of w D. Grady when he was district
attorney of Fresno county and called task
for not keeping books. Grady's traditional
planation that it only misdemeanor
to keep books, but under circumstances it
might be felony to keep them 1t may lose a
fee not to present itenized bill to Ruef What
would it risk to present complete and correct
emized account
am quite sure that Mr. Fairal1s itemized bill
will present properly ethical front The resources
of the code of legal ethics are infinite and inexhaust
ible Mr. Fairall is honest lawyer and an honest
lawyer is the hardest work of God

Reports from San Francisco by careful OBJ

democratic tickets will be defeated atthe municipal
election, and that the labor ticket, headed by P
H. Mccarthy, will win
When it is recalled that for years Mccarthy
has been one of the foremost agitators and strike
boosters of the coast and that he always a
crony and stanch defender of Ruef and Schmitz

But San Francisco is unique among American
