sTANDARDIzING THE COST OF LIVING.

The standardzing Of the dollar as presented BY
Professor Fisher, of Yale remedy for the rising cost
OF living, must demand respectful consderaton-and
that probably will be all that it will get He wants to
ablish stable aunt, to convert the dollar into
fixed yard stick of purchasing power So stated there
can be opposition To do this he would take the 257
commodities Of the labor bureau the index which shows
from to year the extent to which prices rise and fall
getting the average of ALL and fast the gold dollar
loses grain in purchasing power, supply the loss by
making the dollar much the heavier. So the dollar
would be marked up down in weight in exact pro-
portions to the devations above below par of the
be created unshrinkable dollar one whose pur-
chasing power would be always the same and hence OBJ
viate all the loss that to fixed incomes saarcG

rises.
But it to the layman that there one difference
here. Commodities pershabe. The clothes and cab
bages that consumed this year. either at higher or
at lower price than those Of last year. are speak,
out OF the way when next years supply comes and their
influence the price of next years supply is nil But
where the standardized gold dollars that have been
increased IN weight to meet the high prices of last
commodities? They are in circulation They are not
worn out like last years Clothes eaten like last years
cabbages. Suppose, then there is extraordinarily
bontlfu crop OF commodities this year Would it not be
measured in price by the increased heavier dollar
that has been issued and would not this, we'll as the
older cheaper dollar still be found to be Inadequate to
meet the scale that should have constantly in
creasing demand for heavier dollar9 It seems SO on
cursory view
And then, with the issue Of the heavier dollar is
there to be redemption of the lighter weight dollar or
are they to float and send the heavier dollars to pre-

scales TO learn whether there standardized light

Johnson was sentenced to serve four

High School,.
The High school advertised the
game last Friday evening with the
Jamestown High school as the best
game of the season and it certainly
proved to be one that will be hard to
beat. It is not likely that the other
games remaining on the schedule to
be played at home will De as closely
contested as the one of last week.
There was no time during the game
until near the close that the local
team was out of danger and at some
times it looked as if Jamestown was
going to take brace and catch up.
1t was the superior team work of the
Valley City boys that kept them ahead
and finally decided the game although
individual work at making baskets
and poor work contributed in large
measure to the successful outcome.
The Jamestown rooters came down In
full force and outdid the local crowd
in roofing for their team. So much
interest has been aroused in the out
