Cleaned Up for Nothing.

Georges voluntary scrubbings were
few indeed. In fact, he seldom washed
his hands before a meal unless ordered
to do so. When Uncle Matt was ex-
pected for a visit George was made to
wash himself vigorously and comb his
hair neatly. But Uncle Matt did not
come and that night, walking up to his
father, he said emphatically: "And all

SILVER QUESTION
MUST BE RECONSIDERED

The silver question ceased to at
tract attention some twenty years ago
because the increased output of gold
gave a sufficient metallic basis for the
credit needed for the existing volume
of business. 1t has r~eappeared be-
cause the credit structure of the
world has suddenly so expanded that
the existing gold does not ever APP
proach the amount required for its
basis.
A metallic basis for credit. of
course, need not equal the volume of
credit. 1t will usually answer all
: practical purposes if it is sufficient to
assure prompt redemption on demand
for that part of the outstanding
credits which are represented by
paper money. At the place of ulti-
mate redemption inaneiers like TO
have a 50-per-cent gold reserve
against notes. Doubtless. that is more
thar necessary. Twenty-Five per cent
is probably sufficient, and eve less in
ordinary times.
The United States earmarks about
AZ per cent gold against outstanding
greenbacks, and requires the Federal
reserve banks to maintain a 40-per-
cen reserve. In this country all
forms of solvent credit, bank or cir
eulation, are r~edeemable in gold on
demand, but that is not true of any
other belligerent, unless possibly
Japan. 1t may not always continue
SO here. Considering all countries,
the outlook seems to be hopeless. And
commercial relations among countries
are so intertwined that it is the
worlds situation which must be con-
sidered.
The real silver question is whether
it is possible to maintain an adequate
metallic basis for outstanding credits
unless we make use of both gold and
silver. If we introduce silver, the
basis will be diluted. If we do not
introduce silver, credit may go to
smash, and the loss to owners of
credits may be infinitely greater than
would result from dilution of the
basis.
But there is a mint situation. Sill
yer is now being boarded by the peo-
pie of most of the belligerents. The
actual requirements for silver coin
are increasing rapidly, owing to mill
tary disbursements in silver-using
countries, and yet coin put into cir
culation disappears into stockings,
And the minis of the world are work
ing day and night trying to fill the
sieve.
The rise of the price of silver has
scared the governments. In India the
silver in the rupee came to exceed its
gold redemption value, which had to
be increased. But that is but one in
stance. The increase of the price OF
silver is threatening the subsidiary
coins of nearly all countries, and suf-
ficiently rapid recoinage with in
creased silver content is impossible
with the present mint capacity. And
it is believed that. except by concerted
governmental action to check the rise
in the price of silver, the silver coins
of the world will go to the melting
pot.
That is merely the temporary as
pect of the silver problem. The funu-
amental problem is the preservation
of a metallic basis for all credit.

Tax Collector.
Dear Sir. Enclosed herewith 10 an
opinion from the Attorney General
with reference to the law passd by
the 35th Legislature extending the
limo until January 81. 1919 for the
nllng Of suits for the collection OF
1917 tax only.
You viii observe from this opinion
that It in no wise affects the duty Of
the Tax collector in the election Of
delinquent taxos Of other years and
you are authorized and instructed to
proceed in the usual way after the
first day OF February to force the col.
lection Of the 1917 delinquent tax
on all personal property owned by
the delinquent tax payer
Use every effort possible to collect
all the delinquent tax that you can
by the 3lst OF March. In order to DO
ready TO close your annual settle
ment on time.
hope thaty on will give the opln-
ion your Immediate attention and
explain tothe tax payers at once that
the only thing the taxpayer can gain
by allowing his tax TO become delln-
quent will be that the County Attor-
ney cannot file suit against his real
estate until after January 81, 1919.
All costs, penalty and interest will
accrue against his property, and II
will be the Tax Collectors duty to
foreclose on his personal property
and collect his tax.
II you will xplaln this opinion
thoroughly to your tax payers. I
think you will prevent a great many
tax payers from going delinquent the
FIRST day Of February, 1918, expect
ing relief. but which will be In fact
burden.
You arc further advised that this
law does not affect any tax whatever
delinquent prior to 1917 tax and
your County Attorney is compelled
under the law to flo suit TO force the
collection Of such tax.
Very truly yours.
