! MAKING MORE MONEY

A financial plan proposed by the treasury department
and for which a bill has been introduced in congress,
provides for the payment of obligations abroad in silver
withdrawn from the treasury vaults. where it. reposes
uselessly in the form of Idle silver dollars; the retire
ment Of silver certificates which are based on those dol
lars, and the substitution for these certificates of feder-
al reserve notes for these retired certificates. 1t is further
proposed that the government shall purchase silver in the
OPEN market with which to replace the coin now to be
withdrawn, and that the purchase shall be made at the
fixed price of 81 per ounce. which is a trifle higher than
the present market price.
The immediate effect of this must be to increase the
volume of money available to the country. In actual
value it makes no difference whether payments abroad
are made in gold or in silver. In whichever metal they
are made, a definite quantity of valuable metal goes out
Of the country. Every silver dollar in the vaults is rep
resented by a paper certificate circulating somewhere in
the country. For every dollar exported a paper dollar
must be withdrawn from circulation. otherwise our silver
certificates become mere fiat money, having no real basis
of value behind them. The device of issuing federal re-
serve notes in amounts. equal to the silver certificates
Withdrawn will simply make it possible for us to send
SOME millions of dollars worth Of silver abroad, and stili
to have in circulation as much paper money as we have
now. I
The federal reserve note is not fiat money. It par
takes not in the least of the nature OF. the Ereenback, and
there is involved in it none of the principle OF the free
silver doctrine. which was essentially Q fiat money doc
trine. The federal reserve note lis issued on the security
Of definite commercial assets It is in effect a mortgage
on tangible assets which have an Immediate cash value.
In, substance, the, new plan amounts to a temporary in
crease in the circulating medium of the country plus g
pledge by the government which is intended to stabilize
the price OF Large quantity Of metal which. is nov on
hand. -such 4 plan may be wise as an expedienti to tide
over an emerEency, or - a plan to preserve q. proper
proportion between the money OF the country and its ex-
pandine needs. II would be extremely unwi.e twere it to
be used e = means Of inflatieNns which s. easily within
the possibilities.

Tie life of the tr' y disciple is one

to great promise whatsoever shall
lose his life for My sake shall find it,"
When a strife arose as to who should
be greatest Jesus said, He that is
the greater among you let him become

as he that serveth.' We remember
how Jesus did the lowly act OF washing
the feet of the disciples to set them
the example of service for others. We
recall that mountain peak setting
forth of the mission of Jesus. "The
Son of ban came not to be min-

Luke 1927 Jesus said, II am in the

INCOMPETENCE ACKNOWLEDGED

The promptness with which the war
department tries to reorganize its in.
competent bureaus as each disclosure
of the investigating committee makes
public some new weakness, is sufficient
proof that there should have been a
join bipartisan congressional commit
tee on the conduct of the war. That
committee should have been created
on the day war was declared. Nearly
every important reform in the war
department has been forced by public
criticism or by congressional investi-
CATION. Each concession to public de-
mand is one more link in the chain OF
evidence that conyicts the department
of inconspetence. n The department de-
MES incompetence and then proceeds
to do, in a half hearted way, what the
disclosures prove should have been
done at the beginning. If that joint
congressional committee had been
established and had been active from
the day we entered the war. there
would have been a great saving OF
time, money, suffering and life.

subject to be treated. What does it
mean to be christian? All eternity
alone can answer.
We still have before us day in the
life of Jesus on earth He is on the
shores Of that inland sea so dear to
every christian, "Sweet Galilec where
Jesus loved Himself to be-" 1t was at
a time of great popularity on the part
of Jesus and the crowds flocked to see
and be cured of diseases. The thought
of the scene calls to mind the Sunday
school song learned, maybe fifty
years ago, at the little Baptist after
noon school in Prairie du Sac, Wiscon-
sin, on the cluster of houses on the
banks Of the Wisconsin river in Sank

HoARDING COAL

=. There has been much speculati On
regarding the boarding of coal by con.
sumers, both domestic and industrial,
and while there is some truth in the
4 stories of boarding, the reports have
undoubtedly been exaggerated,' &C
cording to Charles Webster, Fuel Ad.
ministrator for Iowa.
Some people are unquestiOnably at
tempting to put into their cellars a
full winters supply of coal This is
most unpatriotic in the present emer.
gency, Such boarding by one man
may mean a cold house for his neigh
Dor. Should the boarding OF coal as.
sumo any large proportions, it would
Enthusiastically be necessary to put in.

now in force in England and other
Eur0pean countries. s"."e .

JliYered to any one householder is lin.
lied and is figured on the number of
rooms in the house. There are even
regulations as to heating unnecessary
rooms. The new Canadian regula-
lions make it criminal Offense for
my dealer to furnish householder
with more than sixty days supply of
coal including the stock already in
his cellar. Penalties for .householders
buying over two months supply are
provided.
There has been some agitation in
this country regarding coal piles held
In reserve by Industrial companies.
Photographs OF huge supplies of coal
amounting to two and three hundred
thousand tons have been sent to the
Fuel administration.
Here again the situation has been
exaggerated. Investigation has shown
an nearly every case where large piles
iOf coal are brought to the attention of
the Fuel Administration that the stock
AZ only a reasonable reserve. One
pile In Ohio said to contain between
fhree and four hundred thousand tons
LOT Coal lis for large steel company
and really represents not over two
months supply. Should this company
neglect to maintain reserve supply
as. large as this, those agencies for
the scXeSf1ssssaaeatt (Which are looking to

iroplanes, and thousands of other
az requirements, would hold the
,teel company negligent.
The Fuel administration is alert to
detect the real boarding Of coal.
