Road Commission Head on Way North From Washington
Mining Congress Counsel Tells Seattle Chamber Of
 Need for McFudden LuU

SEATTLE, Jan. 3 (by Associated Press) .-'Geosge H. Bailey, counsel and financial secretary of the Amer ican Mining Congress, in his speech before the Chamber of Commerce on New Years day, said the gold bonus bill would revive mining in Alaska. He said the government is selling gold without limitation for industrial consumption at $2067 an ounce, which Is less than the cost of produc- tion. The average price of commodi- ties was 112 per cent higher in 1920 than in 1914 and had gold prices ad- yanced proportionately the producers would have received for the 1919 out put-which was sold to industrial consumers for $58,5O0, ,000-an addi- tional $65,00O,00O.
 In 1914 the gold ounce had a pur- Chasing power of $20.67 and in 1919 only $S.86, and he gave this is the principal reason why the gold pro duction of the United States declined from $101, 100000 in 1914 to $6S, 800 900 in 1919, and probably $40000,000 for 1920. He estimated that had the bill been ill force in 1919, the revenues of the treasury department in excess of expenditures would have been about $14,O0O,000.
