COLD
BLAMED FOR
TROLLEY MESS
Value of American Dollar
Must Be Stabilized Be-
fore Relief, Profess e
Sor Says.

Washington, Aug. l4.-Haled be-
fore the bar of the federal electric
railway commission Thursday, ST.
000,000,000 in foreign gold was ar
raigned by Professor Irving Fisher
of Yale university as the chief cul-
prit not only in bringing American
trolley lines to bankruptcy but in
sending prices generally skyrocket-
ing to undreamed of high levels.
The flood of bullion, he said, came
before the war, sent over to meet
purchases by belligerent powers III
the United States. With the first
appearance of the golden invader, he
said, prices began to leap skyward,
even on articles wholly unrelated to
the war.
Depreciation of Dollar.
The result of the gold importa-
ton has been depreciation of the
American dollar so far as its pur-
chasing power was concerned, Pro-
fessor Fisher asserted. At the same
time its price, or the actual amount
of gold it contained by weight, -e-
NAMED fixed, he added, and today
its buying power is one-third of
what it was in 1906 and half of what
it was in the spring of 1914.
The remedy is easy, the witness
declared. Sterilization of the dollar
by regulation OF the price of gold in
accordance with price fluctuations
was possible, he said, through the
system of dollar values worked out
by governmental economists.
Fixed Rates Inadequate.
Applying his theory of gold infla-
ton to the case of the trolley lines
Professor Fisher said the basic
trouble was that the fixed rates of
fare no longer were adequate 20
meet expenses since the purchasing
power of the nickel was but one
third of what it was when most of
the Scent rates were fixed. OBJ
viously. he said, the logical thing to
meet the present emergency ap-
peared to be to raise fares; but in
that would be implied equalization
to the new price levels of all other
fixed charges, such as interest rates,
salaries, wages and all similar con-
tract agreements that were fixed in
terms of big" dollars, before the
gold initiation and should not be
met with deprecated little dollars
Appreciated dollars had caused
the populist movement which died
away to be replaced by the bolshe-
visit idea now spreading through the
world, the witness said. Stabilize
the dollar and bolshevism would
similarly disappear, he continued.

outline in connection with profteer-
ing in foods and other necessities.
The Department of Justice is 60
ing into the food stocks. We can't
do it all in day." he said.
Plan Publicity Drive.
In connection with the boarding
situation, which is being emphasized
by the Department of Justice at
Washington in communications to
the district attorneys in the cities, it
is anticipated that publicity will first
be given to all stocks being held in
the Omaha district. This proce-
dure will cover any questionable
twilight zone between what might
be regarded as reasonable and ex-
cessive stocks.
The attorney general at Washing
ton has authorized the district at
torneys to publish full information
of all stocks located, giving names
of owners, amounts of the goods
and the periods OF time during
which such stocks have been held.
This publicity will be independent
of any prosecutions that may fol-
low and will be done for the moral
effect it may have
The attorney general has asked
congress to amend the food control
act to the extent of providing for
fine of $4,000 or imprisonment for
two years, or both, in cases where
protlteers are convicted
An analysis of retail prices shown
in advertisements in Lincoln, Sioux
City, Topeka, Kansas City, St.
Louis and Minneapolis newspapers
during the last few days clearly iu-
dicates that the average prices of
food staples in those cities are less
than in Omaha.
J. ]. Cameron, secretary of the
Omaha Retail Grocers' association.
in a recent statement showed the
price of lard in Omaha as As cents
per pound. 1t is being offered in
Minneapolis stores as low as "a
cents, in St. Louis at IS cents and in
Topeka at 40 cents.
Mr.. Cameron shows the Omaha
retail price for cheese at IS cents,
as against IS cents in St. Louis for
Wisconsin cheese, which is now Of
fered at a large Omaha store on
the cash and carry plan for 40 cents
a pound.
Pot roasts and rib roasts may be
bought in Lincoln and Minneapolis
for 10 and 20 cents pound. A Min
neapolis store advertises "rolled rib
roast, no bone and no waste, 10
cents per pound"
Omaha Much Higher.
Round steak in Omaha runs from
Is to 40 cents pound at the retail
stores. Minneapolis stores are ad-
vertising it at II and Is cents.
A Lincoln market advertises
good boiling beef, three pounds for
Is cents" Another Lincoln store
offers choice of any pot roast. 20
cents per pound"
Lard compound retails in Omaha
at IS cents a pound. 1t is so cents
in Lincoln and % cents in Mime
apolis. A we'll known brand of
frst-class bacon is offered in
Minneapolis for 50 cents a pound
by strip, or 90 cents sliced. The
same bacon is being sold in Omaha
at 60 cents pound by the strip and
at IS to 20 cents a pound when
bought in small quantities, sliced.

the federal constitution requiring
that all amendments be submitted
directly to the people; express be-
lief in a written constitution and
faithful adherence to its provisions;
declare for states rights; oppose
amendment to federal constitution
depriving states of right to control

nounce growing tendency" to regu-
late everything by law; denounce

favor limited regulation; oppose

struggles for territorial aggrandize-
ment; oppose class legislation; de-
mand theoretical and absolute sep
aration of church and state.
Citizens First.
"We hold that the first and high
est duty of this republic is to its
own citizens" the platform declares
in referring to international ALI
ances land we deny its right to ex-
pend our taxes or to sacrifice lives
of our sons in fighting wars which
do not involve the honor of our
country or the welfare of our peo-
Pile"
Opposition to woman suffrage
and national prohibition is ex-
pressed in the platform adopted by
the American party, which also op-
poses ratification of the league Of
nations covenant until it is ap-
proved by the legislatures of three
fourths of the states and with the
addition that Ireland should be free.
1t demands protection from in
timidation from labor or profiteer-
ing from capital" and also opposes
government ownership of railroads,
but approves regulation of them.

Killing u. S. Citizens
in Mexico Must End

currence of the murder of American
citizens.
"I am also instructed to state
that should the lives of American
citizens continue to remain unsafe
and these murders continue by rea-
son of the unwillingness or inability
of the Mexican government to af-
ford adequate protection, my gov
eminent may be forced to adopt a
radical change in its policy with re-
gard to Mexico.
Accept, sir, the renewed assur-
ances of my highest consideration.
(Signed)
GEORGE T. SUMMERTIME"
"'Charge d'Affaires.'"
What Mexico Says.
The Mexican governments reply,
which is a lengthy one, sets out that
the Carranza government is dong
the best it can to cope with condi-
tons in remote and sparsely settled
regions still affected by the results
of civil war, and suggests that
Americans in those remote places
come into populated centers where
they can be protected. Referring
to robberies of paymasters of oil
companies, the Mexican government
declared the oil companies had de-
clined guards for them either on
grounds that the presence OF guards
invited attacks by bandits, or that
the guards misbehaved. Both as
sertions, the Mexican governments
note declared, are unfounded. The
Mexican government, the note fur
Their said, has offered to reimburse
the robbed persons of moneys lost.
No Comment Available.
Mexico City, Aug. 14.-No com
ment was available from official
sources today on the United States
note of July p, warning the Car
rama government of a radical
change in policy if it continues to
fail to protect Americans. ..
The American note and the Mexi-
can foreign Offices reply were
printed today by the newspapers in
extra editions without any editorial
expressions. The two notes aroused
much interest as the possibility of
Intervention in Mexico has been
widely discussed here in many cir
Giles for weeks.
The newspapers were bought
freely, but no expressions that
might indicate the attitude of the
people were heard. Government Of
ficials did not discuss the subjects.
The foreign office said there was
nothing else for publication. Presi-
dent Carranza has cancelled all en-
gagements because of illness that
confines him to bed The president
was said to have suffered from
overwork and anxiety diring his
wife's illness.
