CAN THE DOLLAR COME BACK?
NO. Says Arthur Wyman, "lts Pur.
chasing Power Cannot Be Restored"

Can the dollar come back" is the
title of a very interesting pamphlet
by Arthur Wyman of the Chicago
Railway Equipment Company. The
dollar sells today at premium in
more than half the world 1t is back
! ed by more gold than currency that
exists. 1t is the most stable piece
Of money that circulates, and its
character, like that of Caesars wife,
| Is above suspicion. -.~
Why this terrific demand to bring
the dollar back? Back to what? Its
Old purchasing power? Why the
march of cilivization is a history of
the decreasing power Of the purchas-
.nS medium. As well talk of sweep
shg back the tide of the seas as of
keeping the purchasing power of coin
t&tlonaly. 1t cannot be done. glory
oes AND II could be done, progress
would be harnessed to stage coaches.
The dollar is never goin' back to
what 1t was before the war. Civiliza-
tlon increases the wants of men;
mems wants raise prices. There comes
the great crises when mankind
piunges forward 81 years in ten. The
horrible tragedy which took it's toll
OF human blood, toppled over empires
and changed the face of the whole
earth touched too, the media of bar
ter everywhere, and that influence
Is coined into the very metal which
1t could not have been
otherwise.
Why, then do men chase shadows
and seek by edict to put the dollar
back where it was? They might bet
ter spend their time speeding the
wheels of production and bringing it
about that an honest mans days
work shall be given for an honest
lays wage. They need not worry
ABOUT the dollar 1t will automatical-
y measure up to the conditions of
ne day. The trouble is not an inf1at-
I'd currency. but inflated idleness and
he cure for that is not found in
legislative nostrums.
MI. Wyman has the same idea
bout work; he looks to it to bring
he dollar back. But the greater the
industry of the nation the more
money required to finance it. and
lothlng could be more false than the
aim assumption that dear dollars
nd hard work are twins.
The dollar may show some in
rease of purchasing power as the
ears go by, but there is not the
hghtest chance of it's asserting it's
Id dominion. The world has moved
onward on to new commodity
lane. -. !.

DON'T SELL BONDS

The Washington Post a few day

"A decrease in market price is Of
ten misunderstood by holders of

if adopted it causes unnecessary loss
to individuals who cannot afford to

"All that is necessary is to hold all

FEDERAL ESTATE TAX.
Must Be Paid by All SUGGESTIONS of
$4,000 or More.

RUFUS W. Fontenot, collector of in
ternatlonal revenue, advises that tn
provisions of Title ", of the Reye
nue. Act of 1918, are not as thorough
~ known and complied with as the,
should be. Title " relates to tn,
Federal Estate Tax on the estates o:
resident and nonresident decedent:
whose estates are sufficiently large
70 come within the purview of it's pro
visions.
Lawyers, bankers, trustees, execu.
tors, administrators and those who
occupy the position of fduciaries
shouid have a complete knowledge of
ehe laws relating to Federal Estate
tax. The Federal tax on estates
Should not be confused with the state
inheritance tax. These are two Sc,
pafate and distinct taxes: one is i'm
posed by the state government and
the other by the federal or national
government Moreover, their provis-
ions are not at all similar.
Ihe revenue act of 1918 requires
that return be made for federal
estate tax purposes in the case of
| every resident decedent whose gross
| estate amounts to $4,000 or more.
oy the gross estate is meant the fl
cure representing the sum total Of all
tne assets of the estate before de-
quoting any amount for debts or
other, allowable deductions.
The method to be followed in do
cermlnlng whether an estate is sub
Ject to make return and pay fed |
eral estate. tax or not is as follows:
Add up all the assets of the
estate. II this amount equals
or exceeds $4,000, return
must be made
1t should be noted that the word
must is used. 1t is suggested, how
ever, that where the assets Of an
estate approximate in the gross $685.
o00, that return be rendered, for
the reason that the governments in
Ventory and estimate of the assets of
the estate are usually higher than
elmer private or q court inventory.
And by filing the return, the estate
would be relieved from any penalties
ihould the governments investigation
disclose that statement should have {

A notice on Form 704 in duplicate
must be filed with this Office for the
state of every decedent which comes t

Why Advertising Succceds.

The problem of any proposition
seeking to win favor of the public, is
to attract attention, to get talked
about. NO public entertainment could
get attention by simply passing word
about it by mouth. Thit is why peo-
pie getting up any kind of public
entertainment always rush to the
newspapers the first thing. 1t is even
more difficult for a man to get his
business talked about if he refuses to
use newspaper space. No one is in
terested to help him secure his publ
city. Few people will take any pairs
to, tell others of the good stuff he
carries. He may have ever so good
a show window but people do not stop
much to look into show windows
nowadays. But people will always
stop to read the contents of a news
paper, because they pick it up in
their own homes at their convenience.
Scores of people will notice an ad-
vertisment where one would stop to
look at show Observation-Disclosures !

Carranza Assassinated,

Ncnustiano Carranza, for the past
three years president Of Mexico, was
assasslnated by traitors among his
own followers Friday of last week.
The president with members of his
cabinet and other officials was in the
mountains trying to escape from the
reVolutionists when his camp was
surrounded during the night and he
and one of his generals were shot to
death. 1t is feared that as a result
of his murder, a great avenging re-
volt will spread throughout the re-
public. Last Monday the Mexican
congress, in extra ordinary session,
elected Adolfo De La Huerta, gov
ernor OF Sonora, president ad interim
of Mexico.
