Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale University, Presents Plan to Cope With the Present High Cost of Living in This Country
WOULD RESTORE
 SEIGNIORAGE CUSTOM
Says Business Men Do Not Realize Close Connection Between Trade Cycles and Instability of the Dol lar
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

BOSTON, Sept 26-A plan to stabilize the purchasing power of money as a remedy for the increasing cost of living was laid before the In ternatiOnal Congress of Chambers of Commerce today by Prof Irving Fish CT, of Yale university. His suggestion was made in anticipation of the Inter national Congerence on the Cost of Living recommended by President
 Taft
 My plan," said Prof. Fisher, Sis similar to d suggestion of Governor Woodrow Wilson that the weight of the gold dollar should be increased enough to restore some of it's lost purchasing power
 T have said that my proposal is virtually to increase the weight of the gold dollar. But this increasing weight would not be added to the coins them selves but only to the bullion out of which they are made. In other words, the proposal is to restore the ancient custom of d 'seigniorage' on gold coin age. At present there is no seignior- age. Coinage is free and the weight of q gold dollar is as great as the weight of the bullion which the miner takes to the mint and for which he receives back a dollar He now takes 25.S grains of gold bullion to the mint to secure a 25.S grain gold dollar. The coined dollar weighs the same as the uncoined or bullion dollar,' if I may use such a term.
 "'The adjustment of the seigniorage wd be entirely automatic, dependent onI official index number of the price ,eVel. The system here proposed is, so far as I know, the only one pro- posed which is purely self acting. If the official index number shows rise of prices in any year. say one per cent. it would be mandatory for the hints to add one per cent to the seigniorage. Expressed the other way about, if gold loses one per cent of it's value, the hints would pay one per cent less for it. This would tend always to pre- serve a uniform purchasing power Of the monetary unit AS soon as any depreciation occurred the increase of the seigniorage would operate to cor rect it.
 The proposal is simply that instead l of always paying the same money price for gold, no matter how much it l appreciates or Appreciates in purchas- 1 ing power over goods, we shall pay exactly what it is worth. There is no virtue in fixed mint price for gold. i but there is virtue in a fixed purchas 1 ing power of money.
 This continual variation in the real value of the dollar is the bane of business. It is one of the sources of 1 booms, crises. contractions and depres- sions by which modern business men are perpetually veXed. Unfortunately,
 as vet, the rank and file of business men do not realize the close connec- l tion between the cycles of trade and | the instability of the dollar'

JACKSON, Sept. 26.-TO d large crOwl of Tennesseeans gathered from several counties, Roosevelt scored Governor Hooper. the republican eX- ecutive of Tennessee and candidate for reelection
 T wish to comment" he said, "on the attitude of the republican nom inee for governor He announces that some people think MT Tafts nom- nation was stolen and others do not. He said he was one of the latter Tafts nomination was stolen. If Hooper doesn't know it. it is because he doesn't take the trouble to think.
 MT Hooper has nominated for the position of temporary senator of the United States, one of the men who assisted in the theft. 1 refer to MT. Sanders who sat in the na- tional committee with a proxy and took a part in the scandalOus con- duct which resulted in stealing from the rank and file of the republican party the machinery of the party. In this way MT. Hooper forfeits the right to support any honest man.
 With his trans continental tour drawing to an end Colonel Roosevelt is turning his attention toward the battlefield of the north and east where he expects to have the heav- jest fighting of the campaign. During his trip through the south, he said he intended to devote himself largely to an exposition of the progressive partys principles

 The issue in my opinion, is con tinuance of our great era of prosperity. high wages, and good profits. I ask the business men of the country what encouragement they find and what new investments they feel like making ii they arise from their beds on the morn ing of November sixth next and find the democrats have swept the country No one can affirm the extent of the changes that would be effected to our economic system by such a result eX- cept from what has happened in the past The tariff would then be re- vised along the lines shown by the present democratic house. prosperity would be melted. business impaired and the demand for labor would show a marked falling off

President of the Mormon Church Says If Incum- bent Is Again Called to Chair People Will Not Regret
ADMINISTRATIONS
 REFUTES CHARGES
Asserts He Has Done More to Regulate the Trusts Than Any Other Execu- tive and Has Done It Legally
IAssoc1ArEp PRESS DIsPArcRl

SALT LAKE, Sept 26.-A political sensation was caused here today by the publication of a signed article, in which Joseph F. Smith, president of the Mormon church said, if Presi- dent Taft is once again called to the presidential chair, it is not likely the people will not regret it. Smiths article appeared in the paper pub lished by the church.
 No reasonable citizen" wrote Smith, can in any way find fault with the presidents administration. President Taft has met the just needs of the people and the economic demands of the country with stead fastness and wisdom" He praised the president for his non interference in the Mexican revolution and he added:
 The only charge of any conse- Quence that the opponents of the president can bring against him is that he has been and is the tool of the interests which means doubt less. that he unduly favors the big business or trusts His administra- ton has proved to the contrary and a careful student will find that he has done as much to regulate the trusts as was ever done by any other incumbent of the presidents chair and has done it legally.
 Whatever may be the outcome Of the peoples choice" the article con- cIudes, it is clear that William Howard Taft has made a good pres ident and that his administration has been a success. Should the people call him once again to the presidential chair it is not likely that they will regret it, but on the contrary, will find their action wise, sensible and sound"
