An Old Fable.

of Oregon, at dinner in Philomath.
"is subject. that always makes one
think Of the cat and the owl.
"A cat. you know. once set forth in
quest of happiness. She wandered up.
she wandered down; she questioned
this animal and she questioned that
Finally, wrapped in meditation In a
tree, she perceived an owl.
"'Owl!' said the cat, tell me, most
wise bird, where happiness is to be
found!'
"In meditation the owl replied.
Meditation alone Is the true secret of
happiness
But said the cat.f on what sub
ject am l to meditate?'
Ion the subject the owl answer

owls since the beginning Of time
namely: Which came first, the owl or
the egg; for, while the owl comes
from the egg SO also does the egg

In order to protect their homes
from earthquakes many of the natives
in the territory around Chilpancingo
and other towns In the State Of Guer-

these tree homes are of large size and
are ingeniously constructed. Reeds
and grasses are interwoven with the
twigs and branches of the tree, much
In the manner that bird builds its
nest.
The severest wind seldom looses
these houses from the tree. Where the
trees are large and stand closely to-
gether houses Of two and three rooms
are frequently built in their branches.
These houses also afford protection
from the tigers" and other wild ami
mails which are found in that region
in large numbers. 1t is claimed that
a tiger" will not attack its prey un-
less it is upon the ground. The prime
object of elevating these houses into
the trees. however, is to keep them
from being shaken down by the Sc

Guerrero territory at frequent inter-
walls.
The rocking Of the earth gives the
trees swaying motion that does no
damage to the houses. In some local.
tiles whole villages Of these tree
homes are to be seen. None Of them
suffered damage from the recent
earthquakes which wrought such ruin
to the buildings on the ground.

Not every man is in politics for
what there is in it. In fact, in spite
of many things that would seem to
indicate the opposite, in all proba-
bility most politicians, using the
term in it's best sense, are honest.
Sincere and patriotic. And not
unoften we find men who in devot-
ing their life to the services of their
party and country by accepting
office make large financial sacri-
fee. 1t is well to keep that fact in
mind when we are tempted to think
that every politician is sort of a

that the profit will be more their
own than his. Thanking all for

we will tell you the reason and how

Gold Not The Only Factor En-
gagged in Raising Prices.

In previous papers the writer has
shown from the history of the con-
tinental money, and of the green
backs, that whenever more money
is put into circulation than is need
ed for the transaction of business,
prices of property are sure to rise,
and the cost of living increase.
Some writer's, and also President
Taft, have alleged that the rise in
prices was caused by the increased
quantity of gold obtained from the
mines in recent years that has got
into circulation and being added to
the money already in actual use
has expanded the currency.
There is no doubt the currency
can be unduly expanded with gold
coin, the same as with paper money.
There is nothing sacred about gold,
although some people worship it.
1t is reasonable to suppose that
only the increased production of the
mines which gets into circulation
as money, that would affect prices,
and that the country with it's rapidly
increasing population would CON
sumo in the arts more than the
usual output of gold, the same as it
consumes the increased output of
iron, copper, and lead.
The general rise in prices has
taken place since five years ago.
Accor ding to the statistics of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
of the United States, there was
taken from the mines in the five
years from 1899 to 1904 gold to the
value of 1881 ,SS2, 800. and for the
five years following, from 1904 to
1909, to the value of $446, 16S 800.
an increase in five years of over
$64 600, 900. In case this increased
output was coined, and added to
the money in circulation, it is not
large enough in itself to account
for the large increase in prices.

in operation to assist the upward
movement.
In the year 1900 gold was coined
the United States mints to the
value of 500, ,63S, ,632, and in the
year 1908 eight years afterwards)
to the value of $131 ,63S, 632 an in
crease of coinage in round number
of s32, 900, 900.
How much of the increased coin
age got into actual circulation, and
how much of it is held in the hands
of the mine owners for speculative
purposes we do not know, but if it
all got in, the amount is altogether
too small to expand the currency
and boost up prices to the present
hight.
With due respect to the opinions
of President Taft, and the financial
writers, it is my firm conviction
that the increased amount of Natl
onal Bank notes put into circula-
ton since 1900 has had greater
share in expanding the currency
than the increased supply of gold.
In the year 1900 the amount OF
National Bank notes in circulation
was $500, 115, 112. In the year
900, (nine years afterwards) the
amount had risen to $666, 5O5, O12
an increase of $366, ,3S1 800. more
than three hundred and sixty six
millions of United States bonds had
been turned into paper money as
good as gold, and equal to any bank
notes in the world.
