GOLD STANDARD OF
NATION IN DANGER

Washington, Oct. 14.-Fear that
the declining gold production in this
country would make it difficult to
retain the nation on a gold stan
dard basis during a popular cam
paign for credit restriction, accom-
panied by declining prices, was ex-
pressed a formal statement issued
today by Chairman McFadden of
the House Banking Committee.
Mr.. McFadden is the author of a
bill pending before Congress under
which a tax of $40 an ounce would
levied on gold used in the industrial
arts. This tax in turn would be
paid to producers to stimulate their
efforts. In his statement Mr.. McFad-
den declared that unless some relief
was furnished the American gold
mining industry would be compelled
to shut down soon because the
legally fixed price of $2O.67 an
ounce for gold was less than cur
rent production costs.
"The continued depletion Of the
gold stock by excess expectation
and industrial use," Mr.. McF'adden
said, will seriously impair the pub
lie confidence in the nations fl
nance and currency unless normal
gold output is insured.
''The United States mint sold for
industrial consumption during 1919
nearly $22,OOO,0OO more gold than
was produced from the mines of the
United States, while this year the
drain on the monetary stock will
probably be s4O,O0O,OO0. Since the
industrial consumers of gold are the
only ones in the country receiving
raw material at the pre-war price. 1t
is evident that they are being heavy
subsidized" a
Failure of the United States to
act, Mr.. McFadden asserted, will
permit the British empire to gain an
unquestioned supremacy in the
worlds gold production. South At
rican producers, who mine the bulk
of the British gold, he added, have
been receiving an exchange premi-
um as high as so percent since July
1919, and the French government,
in addition to imposing an exchange
discount on industrial gold, has
levied sumptuary tax Of 1878 an
ounce for gold used in fabrication
of articles other than money. =,
"This year the contribution of the
United States to the gold production
rof the world Mr.. McFadden said,
will probably be not more than IL
per cent, about half of that which
it contributed in 1915, while the
stimulating effect of the British ex-
change premium will probably in
crease the quota which the British
empire will contribute to rs per-
cent"

WHY NOT ALL THE YEAR HAT!

This is hat buying time-the har-
vest season for agriculturists and
haberdashers. Now is the time for
all good men and true, not as the
business school bromide has it, to
come to the aid of their party, but
to toddle and totter their reluctant
wav to the hat shops. By their talk
in the shops shall ye know the three
classes of male hat purchasers.
Glass 1 says: "Gimme hat like
got on"
Class 2 says: $50 that's the latest
eh Well, gimme seven and an
eighth"
Glass 8 says nothing at all. These
Door creatures stand and listen to
something like this: Now don't argue
John, 1 say it is beauty of a little
hat and not expensive either. Yes'
clerk, he'll take that one and wrap
up his old one. Come on, john
- Hats are a habit. Most any woman
will saw that men are careless IN
their habits. And it follows that
men are careless about their hats.
Modern mans headgear is a make
shift. Consider the types Of hats we
have:
Derby-Stiff, uncomfortable
turns green as easily as a chame-
leon. Down with the derby!
Felt-Too hot in summer. TOO
cold in winter. Looks like towel
turban after the first rain. Blows
off in the wind. A has felt hat!
Straw-Who ever had straw hat
that fit? Older they get the tighter
they get. Expensive and only last a
season.
Cap-Caps were originally worn
at night. They make the hair fall
, out. Wife won't stand for 'em. Any
how, when a man is old enough to
smoke in public he should foreswear
the cap. Danish caps!
Silk or Stovepipe-Yeah, fine
business. Imagine toting one to a
, ball game or wearing it on a fishing
trip. Clout the satin bonnet!
What men want is an all year
round hat that Will last a lifetime.
Just think of buying hat when you
are 16, say, and giving it to your
grandson when you rouRd out your
appointed three score and ten. Like
this: .,.. ......... ..
Material Aluminium.
Trimmings-To taste, platinum,
diamonds or .semi-precious stones
| (Coal is suggested for the rich.)
Special advantages-This hat is
durable. 1t will last two lifetimes. II
is provided with a ventilating sys.
tenn and can be iced in the summer
time. It has an electric heater fol
winter use. The gas mask veil is to
be used during political campaigns
and the cellarette will contain but
tel! milk or other stimulant.

PRIVATE OPERATION OF
ROADS COST MORE THAN
GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Chicago, Oct. 14.-SiX months of
private operation of the railroads
cost the taxpayers of the country
more than two-thirds as much as the
two years and two months of feder-
al control, Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Wooley declared in
IN address here today before the
National Association of Ice Cream
Manufacturers. "The two years and
two months of federal control cost
the taxpayers sso2,OOo,ooO, accord
ing to latest returns" said Mr..
Wooley. Assuming that the inter-
state commerce commission in the
final accountings will allow all the
maintenance charges reported by
the carriers in the period from
March / to September l, only
six months of private operation
cost the, taxpayers $634,0OO,oOo.
That is the deficit in operations in
round numbers.
Furthermore, beginning approxi-
znately on September, 1 new freight
rates and new passenger fare IN
creases, estimated to be $1,50O,OOO,-
900 annually, went into effect.
~Now 1 am not here to advocate
return to federal control or to paint
a blue picture. On the contrary,
am very optimistic. I only ask that
YOU, as business men, be just. Short
ly after the return of the railroads
to private control there was
sxitchmen's strike, which seriously
handicapped their operations. Also'
a number of innovations adopted
under federal control were done
away with. You will recall how Ger
tain great terminals became choked,
how the car situation became crltl-
cal and it was necessary for the in
terstate commerce commission, un-
der the war emergency powers OF
khe new transportation act, to take
sver the movement of all freight
equipment in a large part of the
country.
"As a result I am here to report
that not only are the people of New
England and the northwest not 60
ing to freeze to death, as there was
danger of them doing, but the grain
crop of the great middlewest and
northwest has been moved more ex-
peditiously than any one on July 1
dared predict that it would be, and
dat industry has gone forward and
we are approaching period Of ease
Rent." ,..
Mr. Wooley said the transporta-
sion problem was headed for a
solution, but what that would be he
would not attempt to predict.
what I hope it will be and what
You hope it will be is going to de-
pend upon more patience by the Am
erican people than they have yet
displayed and upon the most inten-
ave and wholehearted cooperation
ef shippers, consumers and passen-
gers"

SKIRTS ARE SHORTER
 THAN EVER BEFORE

Hotels are crowded. skirts are shorter, and theatrical attractions are just as popular as ever in New York. according to word brought back to Phoenix by Walter Switzer, who has just returned to this city after an ex- tensive buying trip in the east.
 The one thing which attracted Mir. Switzers attention more than anything else was the great number of immi- grants on the streets of New York. He saw natives of Russia, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Poland. and especially, Holland, all in their native dress and seemingly wandering around in never ending droves.
 The theaters of New York are reap ing their usual golden harvest, accord ing to Mir. Switzer. Crowds are just as anxious to get in and are just as willing to pay premiums for good seats.
 And regarding styles, this one little item will be of interest to the women of Phoenix and possibly to the men skirts are shorter-and no matter what

COPPER MARKET IS
 BRIGHTER, |S REPORT

Because of the great influence ex- erted upon the prosperity of Arizona Dy the copper mining industry, the Phoenix chamber of commerce pre- sented yesterday the following extract from the Daily Mining and Financial Record of Denver:
 While only 3.2O0.OOO pounds of cop per were sold through the Copper Ex- port association during the month of August, the future for exports of the red metal is looking brighter. Copper stocks have been stronger in the mar kets as a result of this more favorable condition. Both Germany and France are going to be heavy buyers in the copper market. Credits are to be ex- tended to several French manufac- turers and preliminary steps have been taken for the establishment of German
Arizona republican., 1920-10-08

credits in the United States, whereby German manufacturers may secure their copper requirements.
 Prior to the war Germany was con- suming at the rate Of 10000 tons monthly, or 24o,O00 tons a year, of which the bulk was shipped from the United States. The copper needs of foreign countries are piling up and the large American producers will soon be called upon to fill these needs. A period of great prosperity would seem to be ahead for Utah Copper.

''PRESENT TRUTH' IS
 EVANGEL|ST'S TEXT

"Our world faces a change in the Gays of it's present rules not to be compared Co any change of any age" declared Evangelist Roy L. Benton in last nights opening address at the Present Truth tent on First avenue opposite the postoffice. s
 Mir. Benton. with the aid of numer- ous stereopticon illustrations, present. cd 10 the audience a brief prophetic history of the world. Easing his re- marks on the second chapter of Dan- tel. he said: Here is a simple, clear and irrefutabel account of the rise and overthrow of world kingdoms from an- cient Bobylon to our day. The King ef Babylon gloried in his golden king dom. while the prophet told of it's fu- ture overthrow: but later his grandson read the handwriting on the wall that assigned both 1t and him to their final doom.
 1Likewise did the Bible prophet fore toll the succession of Grecia to the urone of the Medes, and pictured her tirst king. Rome. the great iron king dom, was to be the last universal king dom. and the prophet foretells her d. vision into ten kingdoms represented by the toes on the image, and iron that seed of division was to grow q great divided world which now face, the Hcrculean task of amalgamation.

.E-
Young man, have you ever consid-
cred farming as career. Very likely
not? You have heard so much about
1.-THE farmers lot that you have
formed distinct aversion to taking it
on. And yet. if you only knew it.
farming offers you one of the most
wonderful openings that could be
found just now. Indeed, farming is
the only one of the really important
half dozen professions that isn't over
crowded There is not only room at
the top, there is room at the bottom
too-which is very important point
for the beginner
It is almost wasted effort to say
these things to the average city man.
But here and there is a fellow whose
ears and mind are open and who
knows that advice is not always idly
offered The farm presents field for
a mans life.work which an unplaced,
unsettled young man will do well to
consider.
The farm resembles every other
sphere of labor in that it has it's draw
backs. Even being president has its
drawbacks, as every president has dis
covered. There is nothing on earth
without alloy. One of the principal
drawbacks of farming, as seen by the
city man. is that it doesn't have a pay
day every week. But it has pay day
every year that enables man to turn
around, plan and accomplish some
thing.
Young manhood is building time,
sowing time. If the young man
doesn't get into line of advance
ment; if he doesn't wisely weigh the
value of future knowledge and exper-
fence against present cash wages; if
he doesn't realize that it is not what
he may be able to do now, but what
he may be able to do when he is forty
or fifty years old that counts, then he
is not laying very strong foundation
Learning is more important than
earning in the formative years of a
young mans life.
And farming offers just this. 1t is
the happiest combination of muscular
and mental work that has ever been
known. 1t is a mans job, because he
can work at it with his hands, and
with his mind Farming is not clod-
hopper's job. 1t has always seemed
that physical labor predominated in
farm operations, but the steady in
