Il have always felt" says Mr.. Ed.
son. that the gold clause in bonds il
dangerous. This clause provides that
the bonds shall be paid In gold Of q.
certain degree Of flneness. What would
the people who own railway bonds say
Il they should wake up some morning
and find that gold could be manufac-
tured as cheaply as We make pig
iron? Well, that is exactly what will
happen some day-and 1t may happen
any day" 80

The number OF critics OF the, gold

in recent years. It Is an artificial

effect as fulfllment Of Mr.. Edison's
prediction Of making gold from base
metals would have.
While the gold is given It's promin-
ent place at the present time in ali
finance, one OF the chief causes for our
bad condition as a trading nation Is
that we have too much Of it. This
makes cur prices so high that the rest
of the world cannot afford to buy hero.
It is cause in addition to our mono.

RED CROSS. APPEAL
WELL UNDER WAY

The Membership Campaign of the
American Red Cross has been in pro-
gress all over the country and will
continue for some time. The cam
paign in Sheridan county under the
leadership Of Howard M. Lewis as
Membership Director, aims to bring
to everybody in the county the invita-
ton and opportunity to assist in the
local work of the Red Cross Chapter.
The expenses Of the local chapter
and branches in the county for the
coming twelve months have been
carefully estimated with a view to
giving the service needed in these
communities. All of the money rails
ed by contributions however large or
by memberships will remain in the
county with the exception Of fifty
cents from each, which goes to the
National organization and will help to
meet emergency calls for disaster
help and for the relief of widespread
suffering
Funds necessary to support this
county budget for the coming year
are being secured by the Chapter
Membership Director and his local
organization. This budget justifes
the support of our people and they
look for an even larger annual enroll
ment of Red Cross.
During the past year the Greatest
Mother has given a splendid account
of herself. To the ever increasing
efforts in behalf of disabled soldiers
and their families service which
there is now being spent approximate
~ 100000 on per year has been
added record Of efficient relief
work in the Tulsa disorder, the Pueb-
10 flood, as well as in number of
disasters Of lesser character. Red
Gross Service today reaches more
than twenty-six thousand wounded
veterans stationed in hospitals, as
well as the able-bodied personnel Of
the Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
Increasing numbers Of Red Cross
Public Health Nurses are travelling
through the country spreading the
gospel of sanitation and health while
six million school children, through
the Junior Red Cross are daily learn
ing lessons of sympathy, sacrifices
and service so essential to good citi-
zenship.
Mr.. Lewis is confident that the peo-
pie Of this county will rally to the
support Of Red Cross, which has
meant so much to us as well as to the
State and Nation, and that our citi-
zens will see that the local budget is
now promptly met for the coming
years activities.

Bureaucracy.

Talk about Bureaucracy is used
90 much against public ownership
that we frequently fail to realize that
our great steel trusts are guilty Of
the very things that they charge to
government bureaucracy" We at
tribute efficiency and Initiative to big
business, when, az matter Of fact
these qualities are absent more often
than they are found.
Henry Ford, for instance, is show
ing up our railroad bureaucracy" in
a rather spectacular way. The alleged
crazy business man OF Detroit is will
ing to try new things and to pay men
for production ability. A freight car
on his railroad travels As miles a day
and he is aiming at 200 miles. On the
roads run by our Wall Street fnan-
ciers, freight cars average 20 miles in
every "a hours.
Our private railroad. Bureaucracy
knows Of only two methods Of increas-
ing dividends: reduction of wages
paid and increase in rates. Henry
Ford makes better dividends than they
do by increasing wages and reducing
rates
The very nature Of monopoly for.
bids productive efficiency. The mono
poly is obtained by political power and
it is much easier to use this power in
limiting production and thus boosting
prices than it is to obtain profits by
the method Of greater and more ,enfi-
Gent production. The market politi
clan is skilled only in market manipu-
lation, and it is this type Of man that
controls the big industries Of the coun-
try.
The Standard Oil containers for mo
tor oil in which one has to punch an
other hole before the oil will run out,
is a good illustration OF how little real
intelligence these market politicians
give to matter Of productive efficiency.
Assuming that government abu-
reauocracy" would be as bad as our
present railroad Bureaucracy or
the Standard OH t'bureauocracy'' ar
the woolen trust .sbureauocracy,'' there
would still be etery reason for favor.

FARMERS UNION STARTS
COOPERATIVE MILLS TO
BUCK LUMBER TRUST

The Farmers Union of Washington
and Idaho has started movement
for the cooperative ownership Of tim
Der tracts and operation of lumber
mills and yards by the members j OF
states. The lumber trust, whose
monopolistic practices and shameless
profteering have recently been expos
ed by President Canterbury of the
Timber Workers Union, sells SO pei
cent of it's annual production of lum-
Der to the farmers of the country, ac-
cording to the August issue Of "The
Timberman." The farmers see nc
reason why they should not cut down
out this graft, produce their own
lumber, handle it at cost for the CO.
operators, and sell it to the outside
public at a reasonable retail price
This plan would not, only save mil
Lions Of dollars year for the orga.
nized farmers, but would also in
sure decent working conditions and
fair treatment for the organized tim.
Der workers.
The Washington-I Idaho Farmers
Union has already acquired two lum-
Der yards, and has Instituted q lunn-
Der and forest department to secure
title to timber tracts and establish
lumber mills as rapidly as local farm
ers' unions raise the necessary funds
The northwestern farmers are also
corresponding with the state Far1ers
Union throughout the West in order
to secure their concerted support fol
the economic production of lumber
on a big scale. The plan is to sell
stock to the members of the Farm
ers Union, who may secure any lum-
Der desired at a wholesale price suf-
ficient to cover cost of production and
handling; while non members will be
supplied at the lowest possible retail
price. After a sufficient reserve fund
has been acquired for the expansion
and consolidation of the enterprise,
the surplus resulting will be divided
among the cooperators on a dividend
basis.

THE CHRISTMAS
SEAL CAMP AIGN
BELIEVE THAT ANNUAL CAM
PAIGN Is OF GREAT VALUE
IN TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT.

Lansing, October 13.-Does the
Christmas seal actually save human
lives? The claim is frequently made
that it does, and this year the Mich
igan tuberculosis association has
chosen for its slogan, Buy Christmas
seals and save human lives But
even the best slogans, unsupported by
facts, prove nothing, and the ques-
tion remains, Does the Christmas seal
actually save human lives?
The National tuberculosis associa-
ton provides the answer la state
ment on the mortality statistics of
tuberculosis for the whole country the
National association shows that each
year approximately $4,000 human
lives are saved in America as "a result
of the campaign against tuberculosis.
In view of the fact that the Christmas
seal is the only means Of securing
funds for this work, the little Christ
mas sticker can be credited with a
considerable share in this saving of
lives.
In 1919, the latest year for which
figures are complete, there were ape
proximately 10000 deaths from tu-
berculoss in the United States. If
the same death rate had prevailed In
1919 as in 1900 there would have been
approximately 100000 deaths from
this disease in America, thus cutting
down the number Of victims Of the
white plague i'm a single year by
somewhat more than $4,000, And
that is the case i'm any normal year
Many factors of course went to
bring about this favorable condition,
but the Christmas seal can be claimed
to have had much to do with it, The
seal each year acts in a double capac-
ity to check tuberculosis. In tne first
place it provides funds by means Of
which the organized forces against
tuberculosis can carry ON their work;
but more important that chat, it calls
attention each year to the fight
against the white plague. ITS cduca-
tional value is rated higher by tuber-
culosis works. than it's money value.
1t helps to interest thousands of peo-
pie in the fight against tuberculosis.
