BILL. TO TAX GOLD

WASHINGTON, Oct, 2l-- The McFadden Bill which proposes the tax at,,.n of all gold used in industries waa attack ed and defended before the Am- erican Bankers convention. A special committee reported on the bill and op- posed it as being an attack on tha basic element of the present gold standard. Representative McFadden defending the bill declared that the ad- dtion of new gold by all of the na. tions for reserve would be big fact or m deflating the present over-in' Hated value and would stimulate a healti return to normal conditions. He further asserted that the average cost of raw materials had increased one hundred and twelve percent dur ing the war while the users of gold f,,r industrial purposes continued to obtain the raw material at pre-wa1 price fixed by the government. He de. med that the bill was aimed at the present gold standard.

GERMAN AUTO INDUSTRY
 PLANNING TO EXPORT Capital Increased, and Quality sf
 Products Emphasixed.


 Products Emphasized.
 That the German automobile indus try is in process of reorganization for tine purpose of competing strenuously in foreign markets with American manufacturers, Is shown b; crease of capital of all the leading works. According to a statement iS- sued by the National Foreign T.. Council, the capital invested in the German automobile industry has creased since 1915 by approximately 25O,OOO,O marks.
 Though this extraordinary increase of capital stock was partly necessi- tated by the depreciation of the Ger man mark, it was principally intended to be a financial armament lo lection against the invasion of the American automobile.
 While the German industry does not entertain much hope of fighting such competition successfully. 1t is improbable that our automobile msau- lecturers would be able to dispose of cars on a large scale, in view of the fact that the German market can ab- sorb at the most 35,O00 cars per year. The German automobile industry is organized largely for export; and the present policy of concentration of ef- fort plainly shows that German is aiming at increasing her export sales. The tendency is to favor quantity pro- duction for home demands, and to adopt the slogan of Quality First" for export trade in the belief that high grade German cars are supezior to those produced in any foreign c0,,atry.

ACTIVITY IN YUKON

KuAOn 10 ASSiiuS 0tS 4oASASIoo6 influences of new enterprises in sev- erai quarters this year. ProspectOrs have succeeded in opening fields of promise and capital Is taking hold in the Mayo district, in the Forty Aaile, in the Whitehorse district and within the bounds of the old Klon- dike camp proper. Options have been taAen on properties elsewhere.
 la the Fortymile three large new concerns have been prospecting and have spent much money in works of a large scale this season. In the placer district tributary to Dawson several dredges have started this year on new ground, and newly or gsnized companies have them in charge and plan further dredges for the near future. This is |,
 true of the Indian river side of the camp.
 in the Mayo district a new drcdge has started, and silver mining has been started by one company this year on q scale involving the outlay eff half a million dollars, which is merely a starter for the work in sight.
 iu the WhitehorSe district investors have been busy this year making extensive inquiries. Properties have been taken under option in the Tweivemile country. The Atlin dis trict, while outside of, Yukon, is tributary to it, and Is manifesting new enterprise with prospect of get ting much capital soon
 These new enterprises oil will en- gage quite a little labor this winter. The prospects for winter activities have not been better since the early days when most of the placer dumps were extracted in winter.
 The people of Yukon are confident and arc nan:festing their faith by ae'pirs pirspcctors get into the field. Many who some time ago thought of goipg outsiG. tor the winter have changed their minds. They prefer ts remain in the land of virgin con ditions and to have the chance of s.:aring new riches and prosperity. O, d. are strikes, and many other unsettled conditions. It is much bet tel to remain in this pleasant and ,nstiant realm for the winter than to !1y to unknown fields and conditions In distant lands. Many an outside region is in. the throes of conflict and tioodshed.
 iukonerS are prosperous, happy ard contented, and are planning for
 
 greater things than ever before un- der.ahen. The outlook is suspicious. Stay with Yukon, keep in the region of opportunity and share the fruits.
