DIOCESAN SERVICE BUREAU
 FOR STATE CATHOLICS OPENE


 A Catholic diocesan bureau of social service has been opened with headquar- ters at PA Main street, Hartford. It is organized to promote the systematic or ganization of social work and will serve as center for bringing into unison the work of all Catholic agencies.
 Bishop Milan is the president and is deeply interested in its success Five years ago, Bishop Milan took the first step in this program when he established the Catholic charitable burean in Bridge port. Encouraged by the success in Bridgeport, a year ago similar bureau was opened in New Haven. The estab- lishment of the Diocesan bureau in Hart ford, the see of the diocese, is the cul- imitation of the plans and from this cen tral bureau the work will gradually be extended through the state.
 Rev. Matthew J. Judge has been ap- pointed diocesan director. Father Judge goes to Hartford, his former home, from Bridgeport, where for some years he has been closely identified with all civic and philanthropic movements For four years he served as commissioner in the depart ment of public charities, and for the past three years as director of the Catholic charitable bureau of Bridgeport which work he will still continue.
 Miss Marguerite Boylan has been ap- pointed by Bishop Nolan as executive secretary. Miss Boylan is graduate of Ohio State University and has been en- gagged in Red Cross and charity organi- zationa work in Columbus, New York and Bridgeport. In 1916 Miss Boylan was ap- pointed by Bishop Milan to organize the Catholic charitable bureua of Bridgeport She remained there as executive to take

Louisville. May 7.-Leaders of church es and women's clubs and social workers here are engaged in city wide drive to induce residents of Louisville to join in a campaign to cut down the cost of liv- ,ng by curtaiiing reckless buying at high prices. Thousands have already joined and 1t is hoped eventually to enlist 2oo,- 600 persons.
 The movement was inaugurated by IoutsviIle club women. It was endorsed and given impetus by the Presbyterian Ministers Circle, the Crescent Hill For ward Club and the Conference of So- ciai Workers. Churches have approved it and United Trades and Labor Assem- bly, and the Building Trades Council have been asked to join in a permanent organization.
 n Is proposed to organize a Cheaper Living Committee to be composed of rep resentatives of many civic organizations.
 Mayor George W. Smith has given the movement a semi-official endorsement by announcing his adherence and Mrs. Smith has promised that her household will be conducted so near as possible along the lines of economy suggested by the promters of the idea

than five years would not be sat isfactory basis upon which to in- vest large sums of money in the development of new ore reserves. Hence it seems reasonable that five years should be the time for which the original bonus and excise shall be in effect It may we'll be stated that on and after five years from the date of passage the bonus and excise will be adjusted in accord ance with the rise and fall of con- modity prices as compared with the average for the fve-year period; this readiustment of bonus and eX- else to be made each year and until such time as the bonus and excise can be abandoned on account of the restoration of the price level, which will satisfactorily maintain the nor maj production of new gold to meet all industrial requirements of the arts and trades.
 3. Agency of Bonus Payment The treasury department probably will be the best agency to be stipu- lated for the payment of the bonus to the producer of newly mined gold.
 i. Manner of Bonus Payment Uron the presentation to the trea- sury department of statement from the United States mint veri- flying the number of ounces of newly mined gold, and upon the presenta- tion of the statement from some unbiased agency (such as United States bureau of mines), verifying that the gold was actually produced as the result of mining and milling ore. smelting ore, or washing placer gravel, payment of the bonus of $1O per ounce shall be made to the producer thereof. It is certain that the point will be raised as to the verifcation of production on the as sumption that many producers will attempt to pad their bullion by the introduction of old gold, and it, therefore, becomes necessary to specify some independent agency to serve as a check with reference to the origin of the gold produced. A severe penalty will have to be pro. .vided for persons convicted of salt ing newly produced gold with old gold. This procedure will reduce the possibility of fraud to the min imum, and at the same time insure justice to the producer
 ] }. Agency of Excise Collection The internal revenue department probably would be the best agency to be stipulated in the bill for col lection of the excise. The manner in which the excise will be collected will have to be worked out in de- tail. Probably a die stamped by the collector upon the jewelry, after
 the excise has been paid, would be a sufficient safeguard A penalty
 will have to be provided for persons
 who do not conform to the excise
 provisions of the law.

 Tentative Preamble of Bill.
 In order 70 protect the monetary gold reserve of the United States, by maintaining the normal produc- tion of gold, within the United States and it's possessions, there shall be paid to every person producing gold from the mines within the United States and its possessions, under the terms and conditions and in the manner hereinafter set forth, s10 per fine ounce of such gold 50 mined, and said payments are to be made out of funds as herein provided by an excise on the use, manufacture or sale of gold in the United States for other than coin age or monetary purposes, and from other funds in the treasury not re quired for specified purposes.
 While the general nature of the proposal for bonus and excise is set forth in the tentative preamble above, it will be necessary for the conference to discuss the many pro- visions which must be clearly pre- sented in detail in the remainder of the bill Following are some of the essential points which are sug- gested for consideration:
 l. Amount of Bonus and Excise. An excise of 50 cents per penny weight of fine gold upon all gold used for other than coinage pur- poses would he equal to S10 pel fine gold ounce of newly produced gold. Based upon the estimated production of new gold and con- sumption of gold in the trades in 1919, the total bonus to be paid the producers would be one-half oi s55, 5,0Oo,000, or s27,50O,O00; while the total excise income would bs one-half of s65,OO0,O0O, or s32, 50O,O00, leaving balance in favor of income of S5,OO0,000. Inasmuch however, as there is considerabl. foreign jewelry sold in the United States, the excise income would b. swollen to the extent of that volum, of sales, so that the total excise income would be large enough t' allow for considerable expansion over the estimated production il 1919, and the Government woul. not be called upon to pay the bonu from funds other than those derives from the excise on the use, manu facture or sale of gold for othe than coinage or monetary purposes It has been stated by gold pro ducers that a bonus of $10 pc ounce would be no more than suf fcient to insure the production 0 gold to satisfy the anticipated trad requirements under present econom ic conditions.
 2. Duration of Bonus and Excise During the war, when the bonu measure was being considered, tn minimum time for which the relic should be granted was expresses by the producers as being five years It is certain that a period of les

the cost of production. Being neith- er versed in the methods of high finance nor a lawyer, left, I be- lieve wisely, the working out of the scheme for the payment of this mar gin, or bonus. to those better quail fled. Now that this scheme has been so well planned by Mir. H. N. Law rie, however, I would like to sug- gest, from the standpoint of lay man, some of the details whereby, possibly, his plan mighe be rounded out
 In Mir. Lawrie's plan. in Section 1 (page 3SS), the amount of bonus and excise suggested appears to have been accurately figured out for the current year, and it may be that "a bonus of S10 per ounce will be no more than sufficient to insure the production of gold to satisfy trade requirements under present economic conditions"
 In Section ?, however, 1t is stated tht ''it seems reasonable that five years should be the time period for which the original bonus nd excise shall be in effect" this based on the hypothesis that "a period of less than five years would not be a satisfactory basis upon which to in- vest large sums of money in the de velopment of new ore reserves"
 It appears to me that the length of the period suggested may act as a deterrent on some members of Congress who may fear that the Government would have paid, say in the last two of the five years suggested, bonus on lot of gold it could not dispose of to the trades. In the first year the output is esti- mated at 100000 and the trade consumption at S65,OOO,OO0; so the Government, provided it got the en- tire output, would be in position to sell S1O,0OO,00O at fifty percent profit, this ten million being taken from the treasury store of bullion. Also the profit derived by the excise on importations is taken into ac count, this probably boosting the Governments profit to s7.0OO,000 for the first year. In the second year, however, the bonus would have so stimulated the output that the output would be at least as great as the trade consumption. The third year, I believe it may reason ably be assumed, the gold produc- ton would be as great as ever, probably more than one hundred millions, while there is no assur- ance that the trade consumption would have quite kept up to that mark The Government would then have on hand d surplus of gold for which it had paid the bonus and no place to sell it without sustain ing a loss. This condition is, of course, contemplated in Mir. Law rie's plan, for, he states, ''the bonus and excise will be adjusted in ac- icordance with the rise and fall in commodity prices as compared with the average for the five-year peri od." I feel impelled to suggest that the period be placed at three in stead of five years, thereby fore stalling, as far as possible, the ac- cumulation of commodity" gold by the Government. The plan I would suggest for the payment of the bonus is this: To
 keep the expense of administration
 of the plan at a minimum some one of the local Government officials should be designated as a gold col lector The producer would come to him with his dust or bullion and
 in exchnge he would get a receipt
 This would undoubtedly be negotia-
 ble as security for sum but little
