FLOOD OF COLD
AGAIN SETS IN
Greater Supply of Precious Metal
in This Country Now Than
Ever in Its History.
COMES FROM so COUNTRIES
Is the Only Substance Which Has
Been Received by All Races and
Peoples in Exchange for Other
Property and Services.

Waslin gton.-The food OF gold into
the United States which ebbed some
what after reaching its peak in 1871
has set In again and there IS now prob
ably greater supply of this precious
metal in the country than ut any other
time in its history. This flow and
what the present stock Of gold in the
United States means in terms of the
world supply is the subject Of bull
letin issued from the Washington
headquarters of the National Geo
graphic society.
Gold, the aristOcrat of metals, Is
truly cosmopolitan" says the bulletin,
land is found To greater or less ex-
tent in every part of the world from
near the equator in Africa. Peru and
BorneO to the frozen ground of Alaska,
Finland and Siberia. Since the begin
ming of history, and doubtless long be-
fore any records We're made, gold has
largely typified the worlds desire,
and Ii is the only substance which has
been received by all races and peoples
in exchange for other porperty and
services. 1t was in truth, therefore,
long before legislation by practically
every civilized country made ii formal
ly so, the worlds standard of value.
Pouring in From 80 Countries.
''In the early months of 1921 gold
reached the United States from about
thirty different countries. Much of
this gold doubtless originated i'm the
United States, and there was among
ii, no doubt, metal from practically
every source of gold known to the
world. For the gold of tie world con-
stitutes practically a single stock held
temporarily in many reservoir; and
as exchange rates and other economic
and financial conditions Change, it
flows freely back and forth and across
along trade routes, weaving verita-
bic golden web tying the nations to-
gether.
1T is not at all improbable that
some of the gold that is pouring in on
the shores of the United States first
left this hemisphere in Spanish gal
Icons after il was torn from the tenn
piles of the Incas by the Spanish Con
quistadores. Another part may have
rested once in the treasures Of the
;reat Moguls; while beside 1t is gold
esh from the mines OF Australia, the
..!ondike or the Rand. For, aside from
that which is absorbed in the arts or
is lost or used in industry, practically
all gold these days finds its way 10 the
pots of the assayer and goes to make
up pawns in the worlds trade.
'Of what may be called the relative
ly common metals, fairly close esti
mates of the quantity in existence can
be made probably only for gold and
silver Even for these two metals
satisfactory estimates of production
can be made only for the period since
the discovery of America. There is
nothing on which TO base an idea of
the gold produced before 1892. but it
is safe TO assume that because of the
few sources and the primitive mining
methods the quantity in treasures and
circulation AT that time was but
small fraction of the quantity since
produced.

CONFLICTING VIEWS ARE
VOICED ON TARIFF BILL

Washington, June 30.-Sharply
conflicting views as to the tax burden
to be imposed on the American people
by the administrations tariff bill
were expressed today by republican
and democratic leaders Of the house.
Counting the free list, the average
duty rate was estimated by Chairman
Fordney of the ways n means COM
mittee at between IS and 20 per cent.
compared with the 1885 PayneAld-
rich average and the 6 per cent IN
der the present Underwood measure.
Mr.. Fordney insisted, however, that
the average, after an accurate eSti-
mate, would range lower than Payne
Aldrich schedules.
Taking issue with the chairman,
Representative Garner, Texas, rank
ing democrat on the committee, de-
clared the rates, considering the Am
erican valuation provisions, were
higher than those in any tariff bill
passed by congress since the Civil
war.

RIGGS AGAINST ABANDONME
 NATIVE SCHOOL

JUNEAU, Jan. 19.-Admitting that in the course of time admission of na- tives of Alaska into the schools of the territory on a basis of equality with the whites, as announced by Superin- tendent Charles w. Hawkesworth, of the bureau of education, to be the pol icy of the bureau, is a natural devel- opment Gov. Thomas Riggs states he is convinced that natives are not yet ready for such a step. He warns against any undue attempt to hasten the step beyond the process of natural development attendant upon the edu- cational efforts of the work now being carried on by the bureau of educa. tion.
 Gov. Riggs said: Tt will be very dangerous to the educational system of the whites in the territory if the bureau of education should attempt to continue to force the schools on the territory before the proposed gov ernmental assistance is extended to Alaska, as the territorial fund absol- utely prohibits further extension at the present time. In fact, it is more than probable that even the existing number of schools will have to be cut down on account of lack of funds to support them.
 "The Nelson fund, which the bu- reau of education is evidently using as basis for it's action, will be cut down at least one-half of the amount provided by it in 1918, which was it's peak year. This means curtailment of schools drawing revenue from that source unless other provision is made from some source not now available.
 The natives are not all taxpayers by any manner of means. Insofar as they compete in the industries with the white man, the amount they con- tribute has always been a great deal more than offset by the schooling that is today being furnished some 93O
 
 enormous expense incident to the in- fluenza epidemics
 "The situation in Alaska is entirely different from that existing in Okla homa which MT. Hawkesworth has taken as a basis of comparison. To use it is manifestIy unfair to Alaska.
 "In putting the policy of the bureau into operation, it will largely rest with the local school boards as to the substitution of territorial schools for those now maintained by the bu- real of education. If the school boards do not desire the intermixing with native and mixed bloods in the schools, they have the authority to prevent it."
