Gold Varies in Value.
Professor Cassel then proceeds to
take up the question of the gold
standard. the return to which has
been generally considered an es-
sential step in the restoration Of
sound currency. Professor Cassels
Views on this are interesting mas
much as he lays stress on the fact
that gold itself of late has fluc-
tuated greatly in value Professor
Cassel says:
The chief ground for the derla-
ton policy may well have been the
desire to return to a gold-coinage
basis. This goal, however. can not
be reached by competition in in
creasing the values of various cur
rencies. The increase in the value
of<the dollar has brought with it a
corresponding increase in the value
of gold, and countries other than
America have been barely able to
increase the value of their currenA
cies In relation to gold. The prob
lem of restoring the gold-coinage
basis is, as a matter of fact, ac-
companied by difficulties of a diff
ferent nature than appears to be
generally thought. Those diff1cul-
ties are based on the unsteadiness
of the value Of gold"
Professor Cassel then proceeds to
show how gold lost much of its
value during the war as compared
with commodities and then in
creased since May. 1920, very rapid
ly. Under such circumstances he
thinks gold ceases to be a suitable
measure of values and, If curren-
cies are to be restored to a gold
basis, 1t will be necessary to stabil-
ize the value of gold. He then pro-
ceeds to show that as long as the
United States Is in the position of
having large claims against much
of the world, as long as the Amer
lean people are not in the habit
of making large investments
abroad, and as long as there is a
great demand for gold to be sent to
the United States, 1t will be, impos-
sible to stabilize the value of gold.
This brings him to the concIu-
sion that the bringing about of
greater stability in the value Of
gold is an international problem
demanding cooperation of the vari-
Gus countries, particularly the
United States. Prof. Cassel then
goes on to say:
Payment Claims DemoraIize.

domain of money is due not to the

oped mechanism for. international
payments has been destroyed. or. at

claims for payment are made on
this weakened mechanism, which
lar surpass those which the most
perfect payment apparatus had to
zeal with before the war. This
does not mean merely that the equi-
poise In International trade has
oeen destroyed, SO that the neces-
sary liquidations of commodities
are far more difficult than before.

question of regulating the none

De dealt with successfully by a
conference of experts"
Prof. Cassel then suggests that
the English government should
summon such a conference, that the
united States must. in the very ma
ture of things. be invited. He calls
attention to the fact that all coun-
tries are interesed in the restora-
ton Of the worlds monetary system
and that the advantage of a gold
standard lies in the fact that 1t is
common to a number of countries.
The statements of Prof. Cassel
come to the familiar point that is
reached by so many of the students
OF the world-trouble today, namely,
that the international debts and
reparations are essentially con-
nected with the unsatisfactory eco
nomic and financial situation and
that a solution Of the present
threatening economic situation can
be reached only through an inter-
national adjustment, possibly
brought about by a great economic
and financial conference.

GERMANY TAXES

BERLIN. Dec. 3.-The latest refuge
OF Germany's tax officials, driven al
most to desperation by their ina
bility to make the budget balance
on the basis Of the taxes now exist
ing and the seeming impossibility
to think of new taxes. is a tax on
midnight owls. According to the
Stuttgart common council, which
has been the first to impose this
tax, but whose example. il is ex-
pected. will be followed by the hum
dreds of poverty-stricken munich
palities throughout the country,
midnight owing is one of the in
aliepable rights granted gratis TO
the German burgher and not TO he
taken from him. All Stuttgarters
who henceforth contemplate be-
coming or remaining midnight owls
Knockers" is the German term
will have to pay for il.
Stuttgart Rockers, starting on
December /. when the new tax
goes into effect, will have to pay
marks tax for the first hour after
midnight in which they do their
hooking. marks for the second,
and Is marks for the third. A pro-
posal by the Independent Socialists
in the Stuttgart common council to
make the taxes 500 and 1000 marks
per hour was gravely turned down
because such high taxes would
have brought about a condition in
which only multi-millionaires and
dubious Adventures could afford
to hooker. The regular members
of the hooker tribe would have re-
fused to be mulcted and thus the
primary purpose of the tax would
have been defeated"

SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO
CITY VOTERS

AS a general thing the people of
Paris pay very little attention to
the election of City Board of Edu-
cation, matter in which they
ought to be vitality interested. When
they go to the polls to cast their
votes for other officials, if there is a
school board ticket in connection
with the general ticket, they either
purposely ignore it or pass it up on
the ground that it doesn't amount to
much to any save heads of houses
who have children in school. But it
is matter that everyone should
consider carefully. The following
letter to THE NEWS from State Su-
perintendent of Schools George Col
vim is both timely and explanatory:
AS provided by school law enact
ed at the 1920 session of the State
Legislature, there is to be an entire
city board of education elected at
general election in November of this
year in every city of the fourth class
where an entire board was not elect
ed in November of last year. This
board is to consist of six members.
Nomination is nOn-partisan, and by
petition of not fewer than fifty legal
voters. These nominating petitions
must be filed in the County Clerks
Office not less than fifteen days be-
fore the day of election; and the
names of persons so nominated will
appear on the school ticket" which
will be separate and distinct from
the political ticket. Both nomina-
tion and election are by the city dis
trict at large, without regard to
| ward or precinct lines. Each voter
can vote for as many candidates as
there are members to be elected
six this year.
"To this board will be entrusted
the administration of the public
schools-the most important insti-
tuition of self-governing people. It
is important that the men and wo-
men and women chosen for member
ship should be the most capable,
public-spirited and liberal-minded
citizens of your city, and sufficiently
patriotic to sacrifice a portion Of
their time to this important public
service. ,--
Nominating petitions cannot be
filed later than October a."

VERIFY IT
The Proof Is In Paris, Almost at

The public statement of a Paris
citizen is in itself strong proof for
Paris people, but confirmation
strengthens the evidence.
Here is a Paris citizen who testi-
fed years ago that Doan's Kidney
Pills relieved weak kidneys and now
states the result was permanent.
Can any sufferer from kidney ills
ask better proof? You can investi-
gate. The case is right at home.
Mrs. A. l.. Burley, 329 Eighth
street, Paris, says: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills a few times and
from the benefit obtained / can say
they are a good and reliable rem
edy. Whenever my kidneys have
acted irregularly or my back had
been weak and lame l have always
found a box or so of Doan's Kidney
Pills which l got at Ardery's Drug
Store to relieve the complaint very
quickly"
The above statement was given
November 10, 1916, and on Novem-
Der IL, 1920, Mrs. Burley said: II
haven't changed my opinion of
Doan's Kidney Pills and recommend
them just as highly to-day as when
l gave my statement in 1916. The
cure Doan's Kidney Pills made for
me at that time has been perma-
nent"
