OUR MONEY AND FOREIGN MONEY


1t is true that our circulating me-
dunn is quite large, and that studied
attempt is now being made to reduce
the number of dollars in circulation.
1t is also true that every one OF our
dollars is everywhere worth it's full
face value in gold This can not be
said of the money of any other coun-
try.
The English pound sterling, of the
par value of $4.S6, is only worth 1888.
The French Francs, with a par value
of 10 cents, is only worth s cents. And
the German Mark, with a par value
of 20 cents is only worth about 21s
cents.
The people of the United States have
reason to be thankful that their dol
lars, numerous as they are, are the
best money in the world A few years
ago our dear money men wanted gold
and now when they can convert all OF
their money into gold. if they want tc
they are still unsatisfied.

IS CAPITAL STRIKING?

(From the Telegraph Herald.)
If it is wrong for labor to check
production .by quitting work, in a
time Of shortage, is it not just as
wrong for capital to check produc-
tion by closing it's factories? This
accusing parallel is drawn by the en-
ployees of the American Wooden
Company, which has recently closed
many of its plants in Massachusetts
and Rhode Island.
Representatives of the employees
insist that this is nothing less than
a Strike" on the part of capital, in
tended to keep up prices, just as la
Dor strikes for higher wages. Inso-
far as it is calculated to hurt pro-
duction, they argue that it is in vio-
lation of the Lever Act.
They also argue that it is morally
wrong, inasmuch as it tends to de-
prive the public of sorely needed
wooden cloth, and force consumers to
pay exorbitant prices for what they
get, and also imposes hardship on
thousands of families by throwing
people out of work unnecessarily
This is true, if the so-called Wooden
Trust has really closed its mills for
the reason charged, and not, as it
maintains, from necessity, owing to
a lack of orders to keep the plants
running.
Whether there was enough bust
ness to keep the plants going could
probably be determined from an ex-
animation of the company's books.
The matter is not simple, however.
The element of price enters into it
at the very beginning. If there was
a lack of new orders, was it be-
cause the manufacturers asked too
much for their cloth? Undoubtedly
lower prices would have stimulated
business. The president of the COM
pany explains that "the margin of
profit as fixed last February would |
not permit of a reduction in the |
price of cloth But was that mar
rim a fair one, or a profiteering one? !

featured in this way for less than 20
cents a pound. Furfural is what the
chemists call a basic intermediary
in dyes. That means that you may
make about as much dyes out of fur
fural as a cook can make kinds of
things to eat out of flour. They have
shown me at least a dozen different
shades of cloth dyed with furfural. 1t
is highly useful, too, in the manufac-
ture of many paints and laquers and
in the making of bakolite, the sub
stance used in pipe stems and other
articles. In addition to all that, fur
fural is such an excellent insecticide
that it has been used to a considerable
extent for that purpose, even though
the price was $40 per pound.

The abolition of the liquor traffic is
just as much an accomplished fact as
the abolition of slavery. No party
has declared in favor of it's repeal, or
even the modification of the enforce
ment legislation. Under those con-
ditions how can the prohibition ques-
ton be made prominent issue in this
campaign?

Interest is lent to the controversy
by the fact that in the same cities
where the trust plants have closed,
the "independent" wooden mills are
still operating.
Surely here is something that the
Federal Department of Justice
should look into. Either wronged
corporation should be justified or a
wronged public should be protected.
1t is, no time to tolerate capital
strikes"

 The Automobile Club of Southern California wired the chamber of com merce yesterday in protest against publishing throughout Arizona reports of the gas situation and living ex- penses," saying they are greatly ex- aggerated. The telegram was dated San Diego. The chamber of commerce stated that no reports as to conditions in San Diego had been received, that all reports had come from Los Angeles or the beaches.
 The chamber of commerce wired back in effect that it's information made public came from members of the organization or from reliable coast sources and that it would not be just to the people of Arizona to withhold information of this nature as every re- port made public had been confirmed.
 Ranger Taylor of the forest service, Roy Neblett and George Alkire are among those who furnished informa- tion as to high costs and gasoline shortages to the chamber of commerce and there are many others who asked that their names not be published for business reasons but who urged that the people be informed in the cause of common justice, it was stated at the chamber of commerce.
