New-York tribune., 1918-09-22

In discussing the proposal to in.
crease the price of gold in order to
stimulate the production of the metal
Professor Irving Fisher calls atten-
ton to the fact that the present
high cost of living is largely the re-
suit OF our enormous gold importa-
tons. says that TO stimulate produc-
ton at this time would simply re-
salt IN d further rise of commodity
prices, and goes on:
We already have the major part of
the worlds gold in the vaults of the
united states Treasury. If. after the
war, there should be tendency for
ITS too rapid withd rawal. the problem
can be dealt with then. and in several
ways. Bu. as yet such a catastrophe
is not even in sight. And not onlv
do We have an undue quantity of
gold at present, but the gold which
we possesses is of little or no use
during the war. 1t. is, one may saw.
'ANSA"Su Ao' tle pcTlOQ OF tne war,
and of potential use for after-the
war trade with other nations and for
redemption Of credit and currency.
AT present it is not wanted for do
mestic circulation and can be little
used IN foreign trade, while, for war
reasons, it is practically not used at
all in redemption. 1t is simply an
immense unused hoard laid up for
the future.
Any increase in that hoard in~
wolves an increase in the circulating
medium. While the new gold would
go into the United States Treasury
vaults, those who deposited it would
receive gold certificates which add
to the actual circulation; and the
circulating medium is already in
creasing faster than business de-
mands.
In thus stating the objections to
an increase in the price of gold
Professor Fisher has incidentally
made clear the absurdity of the en-
barge on exports of the metal in
the face of an urgent need of such
exports to correct the adverse ex-
changes on neutral countries. There

~ Wealth Markets and Commerce

The effects of increased freight
and passenger rates in rail-
road earnings are fully reflected,
for the first time, in the July state
ment issued yesterday by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Gross
earnings from freight operations
were 35 per cent larger than in the
corresponding month year before,
whereas the increase for the seven
months was only II per cent. SINH
larly passenger revenues jumped AZ
per cent, against a gain for the
whole period of government opera
ton of p per cent. But what is
more illuminating is the fact that
the operating ratio-that is, the
ratio of operating expenses to oper-
ating revenues-was only 676 per
cent in July, against 83.6 per cent
for the whole period, and this de-
crease was not accompanied by any
substantial change in the actual
amount expended on railroad oper-
ations. The result was that the op-
Grating income of the roads covered
in the report for the month reached
$135, 5,69S,030, bringing the income
for the seven months up to $780,
1888. Assuming that the results
in the last five months are as favor
able as in July, the years operating
income may be sufficient to cover
the compensation guaranteed the
railroads. At any rate, if there is
a deficit it will be small one, and
probably will be wiped out in the
succeeding year.
The South itself is largely re-
sponsible for the reported intention
of the President to fix the price of
cotton. Had the planters marketed
their holdings as in normal times
the situation would not have as
sumed the threatening aspect which
made some such action seem neces-
sary. But planters have steadily
sand persistently withheld cotton
from the market, and thereby have
forced the price OF the staple up to
an abnormally high and partially
artificial level. The South will not
suffer greatly by price fixing, how
ever, since 1t is practically certain
that the price will be high enough to
insure the planter very large re-
turn, probably much larger proper
tionately than the farmer gets for
his wheat. 1t is the brokers who
will be hardest hit, as was the case
when wheat prices were fixed and
speculation in futures thereby elm
mated. A fixed price for cotton
would eliminate the necessity for
futures market, inasmuch as there
would be no need of hedging trans
actions. 1t would also eliminate
speculation in the commodity, and
1t is very largely on speculation that
the broker thrives, although busi-
ness Of this character has been
somewhat restricted of late on the
local exchange. The cotton broker
age houses will fare thinly under
fixed prices, bat that is misfort-
une OF war tnat cannot be avoided
IT the Administration considers it
necessary to assume control of the
market for the last important basic
commodity that has remained free
from restrictions.

Communicated.
We are in the war.

We are in the war.
The fuel shortage has become very
serious lately and our government is
adopting every possible way to save
fuel. Our government is in the war
to WIN and to help lick the kaiser and
at the present time the serious fuel
shortage is being given more atten-
ton by the US. administration than
any other matter.
Considering all this, and in view of
the plentiful supply Of wood in this,
vicinity, decided to employ many of
our settlers to cut wood This will
create fuel supply and give the set
tiers something to do during the win
ter.
Tt is my belief that about 1000 cords.
of hard and soft wood will be cut.
Having no yard or suitable place to-
pile the wood asked permission of
the chairman of Eagle River and sew
eral other town officials to use the
ground adjacent to the creamery and
they were unanimous in their CONSENT
In return for the courtesy pledged
myself to sell wood at cost to Eagle
River people 1t was not my inten-
tion to engage in the wood business,
my idea being to provide employment
for otherwise idle men and to furnish
fuel at cost to the community.
The first part of my plan was work
ing out finely and when the men be-
gan hauling instructed them to pile
it at the designated place. Was called
to Chicago on business and while
there someone stopped my men from
unloading on the above mentioned
premises.
1t is my understanding that some.
officials and some individuals objected
to the privilege accorded me. Having
gone to considerable expense prepar-
ing roads, camp, etc. I will continue
to cut and haul wood, but the add ed
exsense of a storage yard will increase
thecost of wood to Eagle River peo.-
pie.
Fufthermore, IN the beginning [
planned to sell wood to this commun-
ity withoutproft and some of my sales
to date substantiate this, but in view
of the attitude of certain gentlemen.
such course seems foolish, SO Ishaye
decided to make future sales at cur
rent prices. This is not a bree ch
of my pledge to the town officials as
they failed to keep their agreement
withme. l will continue to cut fwood
because there is a fuel shortage.
! am an American citizen and yam
always ready to help serve my coun-
try in any way. At present I have
tenmen cutting wood to help make ii,
s'hot for the kaiser.''

not known to certain extent; that is,
chat nothing untoward has happened,
publicly, at least, that would make
amy unusual subject apply too openly

BILL TOPAY WORKERS
FARE BEFORE SENATE

The joint resolution authorizing the
issue of transportation to war work
ers in the District of Columbia who
leave the service and go to their
homes was favorably reported to the
Senate today by the appropriations
committee.
Senator Martin, chairman OF the
committee, said he expected to call
Up the resolution this afternoon and
llave the Senate pass it No opposi-
ton Is expected.
The resolution has passed the
House. AS soon as the Senate has
acted upon it 1t will be sent to the
President for his approval.
The only amendment made by the
Senate committee was to extend the
time from ten to twenty days IN which
a war worker may apply for the
transportation after he has left the
service. The resolution applies only
10 employees Of the government who
receive up to and including $1,000 q
year. II is retroactive. and employees
who have already left the service will
he granted the transportation to their
homes. The resolution also applies
only TO those who have como into the
government service since the declara-
zion of war.
