Are they happy? No: What gold-hungry

They don't want all this gold, because it
increases the volume of real money in circula-

In other words, Gold is illustrating the
truth of the Populist speeches and books

The Qatn1etitative theory is demonstrating
ITS truth. That is to say, the increased volume

Much corn-all things being equal-means

What are the patriotic bankers going to do
about it?
My son, don't poster me with silly questions
yOW ought to know what the patriotic bankers
01a0ayS do about it.
They are preparing to drive the European
gold out Of circulation, by swapping it, with
Uncle Sam, for bonds.
Uncle Sam is heating the country up, pre-
paratory to the joyous welcome of fire billion
dollars IN bonds.
The patriotic banker will buy these pieces
of paper, paying the European gold therefor,
and Uncle Sam will retire the gold from cir
culation upon the pretense that it is needed
in the Treasury as Reserve"
Thus the chances are-if the patriotic
bankers make no mistake-that prices will go
dorm, after the War.
An official organ of Merchants, Bankers and
Investors, known as Babson's Reports, or the
barometer Letter." publishes the following:
THE DANGER OF GOLD INITIATION.
During the past year we have many times called
clients attention to the far-reaching effects which
might follow a flood of gold import to this
country. Since the tide Of gold movements turned
in our favor two years ago, the supply of the
metal in the United States has swelled from
$1,860, 900, 600 to about So $40 600, 900, gain
of about $3.50 100000. The United States now
holds about one-thrd of all the monetary gold in
the world Practically all of this gold has in one
way or another gone into circulation, increasing
our supply of money by more than $500 per
capita. But this is not all. Owing to the fact
that gold is the basis of banking system, a
tremendous expansion Of credit has taken place.
For every dollar Of gold which the banks hold as
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-04-19

reserve, they are allowed to increase their loans
by about six dollars
Such an expansion in money supply has
direct influence upon prices and almost every
other phase of business activity. Where the
supply of money is greatly increased it directly
follows that it's relative value should decrease.
What really happens is that commodity prices
advance.
In some respects this country is now in much
the same position it after the discovery of
gold in California. Those who Oeleve that
to escape a reaction from such inf1ationary
prosperity should study the panic of 1857.
The question: therefore, is how meet
the further importation of gold, which under
present conditions seems inevitable.
Apparently there are four possible courses open.
We can either stop selling, buy more from Europe
loan more to Europe or keep imported gold ont
OF circulation. The first two alternatives may be
dismissed impractcable AS to oaning more
to belligerent countries, feel that this course
is all right if the loans are we'll secured by
collateral, such stocks bonds of United
States corporations high-grade securities of
foreign corporations. To continue to take large
amounts of foreign unsecured notes, however,
seems to us very risky At least it is no i'm
provement over gold payments. The fourth alter
native is to allow gold importations, but to keep
the metal out OF circulation.
THIS COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
GOVERNMENT MAKING A SPECIAL ISSUE OF
BONDS WHICH WOULD BE SUBSCRIBED TO
ONLY IN GOLD. THIS GOLD COULD THEN BE
LOCKED UP UNTIL THE BALANCE OF GOLD
MOVEMENTS ONCE MORE TURNS AGAINST
US.
Now, let me ask youth all good humor-
a few questions:
Didn't we Pops tell our countrymen that if
ever gold became too abundant to suit the
bankers, they would turn against it?
Didn't we try, hard, long, and often, to
explain that the banker had no real hatred of
silver, or of Greenbacks, but merely hated
Abundant money?
Didn't our speeches, papers, and books en-
deavor to make it clear, that the few thousand
privileged capitalists were conspiring against
the producing millions, for the purpose Of
using Money as the weapon OF the robber?
The bankers gathered up the gold after our
Civil War, by process of Congressional ma
nipulation fully described in my Handbook"
and after having boarded the gold, they
qc0rhed to maize 1t indispensable, AT THEIR
OWN PRICE. to the mercantile, manufacturing,
and agricultural classes
In other words, they made monopoly of
the gold, as Joseph did of the corn in Egypt;
and each merchant, manufacturer, developer.
promoter, and producer who wanted loan,
had to go down on his knees and pay the Gold
kings price.
Now we are told that gold is becoming too
cheap: 1t must be Kept ont Of circulation.
The Government must issue bonds for it,
and 70ch 1t up!
Did you ever expect to live to see this day
when the bankers strike at gold as they used
to strike at silver?

1t is pointed out with considerable

In the bout with Bloom Leonard's

very poor attempt at guarding. tie

of holding it in front of him, but it
did little good. But, in no less than
three rounds he had Bloom in a very
bad way. And Bloom is one of the
toughest lightweights in the game.

conditions. He discovered that Leon
ards left hand was in bad shape and
he directed his efforts toward that
side of his opponent. with some sue

Bloom, but in the end he was just

Leonard was fast, had an excellent
Judgment of distance, and he stopped
numerous heavy blows from the gloves
of his opponent.
Such showing as this entities

Giraffes.

The giraffe is a high, narrow ami
NAL found in circuses and delirium
tremens.
1t has a ten-story neck and no use
for it. We often wonder why is a
giraffe's neck, anyhow. The giraffe
probably wonders; too. It's so long
the poor thing could choke to death
at one end and never know it at the
other. And it keeps his head so far
from the ground that every time he
looks down he's afraid he'll fall off.
But let's not hold the giraffe too
strictly to account for his neck.
He probably started out to be boa
constructor and forgot about it.
The only person who ever envied a
giraffe was a small boy on the wrong
side of the fence at a ball game.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN CALIPATRlA
FARM LANDS.
Farmers See Wonderful Possibilities
in the Construction OF the new
Railroad.

Real estate is selling faster today
than it has sold in years and the "back
to the land" cry is greater than ever
now because people are realizing that
with a small farm they can be abso-
lutely Independent.
Wars may come and wars may go,
business conditions may be bad or
good, but the farmer is always sure
of mighty good living and with
staple crops cam be assured that
there will always be demand for
them.
Calipatria Farm Lands are the
cheapest and best to be had. Here
YOU have an assurance of an abundant
water supply at all times. You have
the best soil in the wolrd; the best
farming climate in the world; the
cheapest transportation and by buy
ing now you can take advantage OF
the present exceedingly low prices.
A man with little money can take
forty or eighty acres here and by our
plan of selling on easy terms put it
in crop and make the land pay for
itself. This land will never be cheap
or. 1t is bound to advance in valuN
as land everywhere is worth what it
will net per acre.
Buy that Farm now. Go to Clal-
patria at once and let Mr.. H. H. Clark,

what you yourself can do-Ad12-13-14

Nothing Succeeds
Like Success

Cities and towns in purely agricul-
tural communities depend wholly up
on the area they serve for growth and
prosperity.
Imperial Valley is essentially agri-
cultural. Manufacturing enterprises
are things of the distant future.
The town, therefore, with the lar
lest area of productive land surround
ing it will eventually be the metropo-
lis of this valley.
Calipatria has three times the cul-
tivated area to draw support from
possessed by any other valley town.
That it has the wisdom and fore
sight to keep intact the trade it en-
;oys today is seen in the haste being
made in building railroads to outly-
ing portions of it's territory.
If Calipatria were depending upon
its own unaided efforts to cash in the
immediate future, hope might be long
deferred.
But it is not.
Forty-seven thousand acres tribu-
tary to Calipatria are in the hands OF
Los Angeles millionairies, who are
furnishing the money necessary for
rapid development. The townsite of
Calipatria, too, is in the hands of the
same interests. The Southern Pacific,
likewise, is financially interested in
the future of Calipatria and the North
End.
Calipatria has a chance that no
other Imperial Valley town ever had
or ever will have.

of many snaps that can be had in

At Palace Theatre Tonight.

Ann Pennington, one of the smallest
stars who ever created a great SEN
sation on Broadway, is the star OF
the Famous Players production, "Su-
sic Snowflake" in which this cele-
brated little Ziegfeld "Follies" star
makes her motion picture debut.
Though only feet 10 inches IN
height, Miss Pennington has proven
one of the most colossal hits of the
musical comedy world and is perhaps
better known throughout the whole
country than any other actress who
has ever before been seen on the
screen, for her praises have been sung
by every visitor to Gotham town for
the last three years.
When the great musical comedy
success, "The Red Widow" went on
the road four years ago, Miss Pen
nington won a great personal triumph
by her clever work in that play, and
she has steadily gained in popularity
ever since that time. Captivating,
saucy, clever and appealing. Miss
Pennington is an ideal screen star,
for she comes to the motion picture
endowed with all the physical require
ments of the successful artistic, coup
led with stage experience.
