does exist, but, as we all know, when
that confidence is shaken it can only
be restored by physical contact with
the precious metal itself.
The business of the world is grow
ing, requiring more and more gold
from year to year, for monetary pur-
poses. Gold is annually removed
from the supply on hand for use as q
commodity-in industry and in the
arts and sciences. Comparatively
large amounts of gold are lost each
year, in handling, by abrasion and by
being buried or hidden and forgotten.
To properly maintain the equilib-
rum new gold must continually be
produced. Mines must operate. Men
must explore unknown regions and
prospect in untried fields na the
search for new ore deposits which
may be utilized when the old mines
become worked out"
The hunting for gold and the op-
Grafton Of mines has been in progress
since the dawn of history, To such
an extent has this work been carried
on that few areas of the earth's sur
face remain unexplored today. The

The love Of gold is one of the
strongest instincts implanted in the
human breast. In individual instanc-
cs it has often proven stronger than
love of home or country. This is IL
logical because gold, itself, can in no
way sustain life; however, the in
stinct IS universal and undying.
Civilization has recognized the
above fact, and resulting therefrom
are the present-day, well-defined
methods Of carrying on the business
of the world The foundation and
the arch and the keystone of all busi-
ness is credit.
The unit of credit is called the dol
lar, and the dollar represents a spe-
cific numberof grains of pure gold.
AS matter of convenience ar
rangements have been perfected
whereby a man or a nation may
transfer these units of credit without
actually handling the gold which they
represent. These arrangements are
based on confidence that such gold

The state mining bureau is of the
opinion that the ''gold question" is
vitally important. Such a small pro-
portion of the total population is ad-
vised of the true situation that moth
ing has been done to avert the, disas-
ter which threatens.
This means is taken with a view of
assisting in the dissemination of the
facts n the case. Calfornians should
be foremost in supporting any honest
and patriotic measure of relieving the

'of our gold output should receive the
active support Of everyone-not as a
phllanthropic proposition, but from a
cold-blooded, selfish standpoint. The
gold reserve of the United States has
reached the danger mark. What will
happen if the time comes when the
greenback IS no longer redeemable, on
demand, in gold coin? Constructive
action in a matter such as this is
quickly taken by congress if public
opinion is loud in its demands. If the
people of the nation remain disinter-
ested congress naturally is inclined to
turn its attention to other affairs.

More and more Will the winning OF

solo mining. and gold mininy alone,
Communities in the mining regions of
Ca fornia are being deserted-this
fact is being positively proven by
returns from the 1920 census. Mines
which have produced millions and
which should produce millions more
are being shut down and allowed to
cave in and fill with water; mills and
reduction plants worth a kings ran
som are, left to the mercy of the ele-
ments. In Calaveras county the to-
tai number of stamps dropping in
March, 1914, was 494 Today only 40
stamps are in operation. Today not
one mill is operating. Similar condi-
tions exist throughout the entire
state.
The reason is simply described;
costs of equipment, supplies, labor
and living have more than doubled;
the selling price of gold remains
where it always has been fixed by
law. Other industries solve the prob
lem by raising the price of their
product to that commensurate with
operating costs. The gold miner.
alone of all men, can take no such ac-
ton, and he is being forced to the
wall.
II gold were non-essential prod
uct there might be little need for
thought upon this subject, but gold,
as has already been stated, is more
essential than any other one thing,
sor the maintenance of the business
structure of civilization.
A means of relief has been found. ;
The plan was embodied in the "Mc-
Eadden bill" introduced, but not act
ID upon, at the last session of con-
yress. This plan provides that an
excise Of SO per ounce be placed |
lpon manufactured gold in order that
he gold producer may receive from
he excise tax so collected premium
# $40 an ounce for newly produced |
,old. More gold is now being used
IS a commodity than is being pro-
Iuced today. This would in no way
fleet oura monetary system, and it
would give the miner fighting
hance to continue operations on
more or less of an equal footing with
ther industries. Californias aver
.ge gold production for the decade
previous to 1917 was 20,O00,000-25
o 80 per cent of the output of the en-
ire United States. This dropped to
in 1919, and the outlook
or 1920 is most discouraging; pro-
uction will be about $15,O0O,O00.

Cooperation Between Farmers and
Labor

One of our folks asks why we have
mo- been advocating cooperation pe-
tween farmer and labor organizations.
II happens that we have an article IN
the present number dealing with TINS
problem.
The trouble has been that labor or
panizations have not engaged TO any
great extent In efforts to cheaper us
tribution. They have been intent on
seeking higher wages, shorter hours
and better working conditions. When
they become interested In reducing the
cost OF living by more direct dealing
with producers OF foodstuffs, they VIII
find farmers organizations ready TO
deal with them.
The recent rapid growth among
members OF labor organizations OF the
Rochdale system OF cooperative stores
Is opening the way to such cooperation
When the cooperative stores become
sufficiently numerous, especially wheu
they have sufficient number OIL
whoelsale establishments To serve them
properly. there Is no reason why they
should not buy largely from farmers
cooperative selling associations rs
pecially is this true Of products which
reach the consumer in the form the!

such dealing seems to be an equal I'll

Of the savings made. This gives th'
producer more than he Is now gettlni
and saves the consumer a considerable
sum over what he now pays-Th'
