ISA GOLD BONUS POSSIBLE?

The administration is showing plainly its willingness to aid and promote the produc- tion of gold. It is obvious that something must be done to aid the miner, but the ques- tion is just how can the proper help be ren- dered him by the government. Many have answered this with the cry of Give us a bonus," and the idea has met with favor ln many localities But is it possible? Can a bonus be given on gold?
 Taken as a whole the money standard of the world is gold, and its valuation in all countries is practically the same. This is necessary to keep gold in circulation in all countries. But let any one of these countries place premium upon gold, that is, pay more for the bullion than is paid in other countries, and the gold of the world would rapidly pass into its possession, naturally, and to its detrl- ment, because of the wealth that would go out in exchange for the gold. This has an important bearing on the question of the pos siblity and practicability of bonus system
 If bonus large enough to be any prac- teal aid to the miner, were placed on gold pro- duction ill the United States, every conceivable means would be used to take gold already ill the world monetary system and sell it in this country as bullion. The bonus would have to be something like thirty to fifty per cent to really give ala 10 lllc Ill1lcI III lIdl way, dllu this would be enough of an incentive to pro duce condition like that just described above. To prevent this, either very strict and ex- pensive guard system would have to be es- tablished and maintained over the miners of the country, or all gold coin in the world, and, as far as possible, all simple pieces of jewelry would have to be called in and placed in gov ernment vaults with paper money issued to be used instead In either case it would be a stupendous task, one that would be we'll nigh impossible even without considering the ob iections that there would be to it, and the tremendous cost that would be entailed
 Even so some of the leading men of the country were considering it, and were think in" seriously of such a solution of the situa- tion, when the war ceased. That removed the cause of the unbalanced condition. Where there has been premium of gold on food and other supplies, the balance is slowly swinging Lack toward the normal The question now arises as to how nearly this will revert to con- ditions as they were formerly, that is before the war? Will gold ever be of the same value in terms of food and supplies that it was be- fore the war? Time alone will answer this question, but the impossibility and impractic- ability of a set bonus on production is be- coming very evident. The miner must have at least temporary aid, or be out of the run ing for good, but this aid must be suited to the fluctuating value of gold to make it prac- ticable and valuable.

object to the small payments that would also be necessary, and which would be levied in the form of tax, for the carrying on of the work in the future.
 The plans which the local Mining con gress are forming are on the whole the most encouraging signs that hays loomed up on the horizon of interior Alaska since the pas sage of the Alaska railroad bill It shows that mine development will be resumed and that mining will in large measure go back to and further than pre-war status. The Mining congress is really working for the good of the country and has the development of it at heart, and deserves the cooperation and support of the whole district, and the membership of all who are eligible

ALASKA WILL RECEIVE SOME
 ATTENTION

It is becoming evident that the govern nlent really intends to give some much needed attention to Alaska. If the proposed appro- priations go thru many long felt wants will be filled and the territory improved just that much. An increased expenditure is expected that will take in all the executive departments of Alaska, with the exception of the railroad and the forestry department This proposed appropriation is based on estimates as to the amounts needed by the various departments and should it go thru it will mean much for the development of the territory.
 The lighthouse department comes first on the bill with requests for the largest sum of money Prominence has been given to this department by the accidents that happened during October, attended as they were by great loss of life and property. This depart ment wants seventy-five thousand dollars for the establishment of twenty-three acetylene lights, and five gas burners. There is no doubt but that the need for lights along the coast of Alaska is urgent and is one that should be promptly met. Included in the estimate for the lighthouses is one hundred and forty five thousand for the establishment of a light house at Cape Spencer and seventy thousand tor repairs at various points in the system along the coast. Eight hundred and thirty thousand is asked by the coast survey for new boats for charting Alaskan waters, need that has been demonstrated beyond all ques- tion.
 The department of agriculture asks for seventy-five thousand for repairs and i'm provements at the Kodiak stock experimental station. This item surely will not meet with any disapproval for there is almost nothing that will do more for the development of the country than continued and additional experi- menting along this line. Valuable work is be- ing done by the experimental stations all over

, Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of corn can harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply directly upon the corn 8 few drops of freezone, says Ciri- einnati authority.
 It is claimed that at small cost one can get a quarter of an ounce of freezone at any drug store, which is sufficient to rid ones feet of every corn or callus without pain or s1fe- ness or the danger of infection.
 This simple drug, while sticky, dries the moment it is applied and does not infiafne or even irritate the surround ing tissue.

TENNIS AS MAJOR
SPORT In SCHOOLS

Continuing its effort to develop ju-
nior tennis, the United States Lawn
Tennis Association has suggested to
the presidents OF all colleges and uni
versities in the country the advisa-
bility Of making tennis a major sport.
The request to consider such action
is contained in a letter recently sent
out by Julian S. Myrick, vice presi-
dent Of the association.
Myrick calls attention to the work
being done to stimulate young play
ers' interest in the game and argues
that boys and girls would be en-
couraged to begin tennis in the
schools, IL they felt that during their
college courses they would be able
to win athletic honors on the court
equivalent to those now granted
members Of football and baseball
teams. The responses indicate not
only that tennis is extremely popular
as a college sport but that 1t is COM
ing to occupy an increasingly i'm
portant place in intercollegiate ath-
letics.

bers OF the Y. NJ. II. A. organization
have given their word that they will
turn out to encourage the home crew.
A good many Richmond rooters will
make the journey to the Capital with
the Dixie tribe SO as to loan their

tory on the boys from Eleventh ans
Pennsylvania avenue.

this game. but a collection will be
taken up at the gait SO as to defray

now not against the law to charge
admission for sporting or athletic at
fractions in the District Of Columbia.

II. A. did not desire to embrace this
opportunity.
This game is merely being staged
as one of the tournament from sim
ply a sporting standpoint. as the
financial deficiencies must be met
by the members Of the nine. as the
Y. n. H. A. at present is placing
all funds derived from any benefit
into the Soldiers Welfare Fund.
