TRADE BALANCES AND GOLD

When Professor kemmerer of
Princeton University told an audi
ence the other day that the United
States had too much gold for its own
good he echoed an opinion that is to
be heard on every side, and yet the
United States is now in a position
which would have been considered
ideal in the earlier days of economic
thought. There was a time when ma
tions bent all of their power toward
the acquisition of gold. They sold all
the goods they could and forbade the
export of precious metal on the theory
that the more goods they disposed of
and the more gold and silver they
piled up, the richer they would grow.
For the last seven years or so the
United States has been selling enor-
mously more than 1t has bought and
has been stacking gold away in heaps.
But now with this long record of
favorable balances and a golden trea-
sure greater. than any nation ever
dreamed of before, the country wishes
that some of its large surplus of
metal We're back in Europe where IL
could serve as a better basis for de-
preciated currencies and quicken the

BONUS IN PAYMENT FOR VOTES

AS national commander of the
American Legion, Hapford MacNider
talks about the bonus' in terms of
dollars. In Congress they think of it
in terms Of votes. Between them, for
appearance sake, the. call 1t adjust

On one side it is a question of mon
ey, on the other a question of politics.
The interests of the millions of tax
payers who must provide the funds
for gratuities do not enter into the
transaction.
There are about 100000 former
service men who are represented as
demanding the bonus. The American
Legion, which is by no means unani-

CONFERENCE AT GENOA.

IL is everywhere conceded that as
long as greater part Of Europe is
upset the world cannot get back to
anything like a normal condition. 1t Is
easy TO say that the United States
can build wall around itself, live
unto itself alone. and forget all about
the troubles OF other nations. So II
can. There are islands In the South
Pacific that can exist without any
outside communication whatever. But
this Nation of ours has some respon-
sibilities that it cannot evade. Besides,
there is need for foreign markets for
our surplus goods and food products.

POLITICS AND FARMERS
BY Frederic J. Haskin

Every competent man in the De-

inflated and eyer-rising land values
are the whole trouble with farming.
and half dozen Of them have ex-

this Article.
but don't quote me- they always
end up. Their Jobs are political Jobs.
The opinion that something must
be done about land values is by no
rneans confined 10 co-called radicals.
Colleges and banks are not radical
institutions. Yet thc gist Of the whole
matter is contained In some figures
complied by the Iowa state College
OF Agriculture and published In one
OK it's market letters by the National
City Bank Of New York.
A Typical Case.
Il This study comprised, among other
things. an investigation. Of 1876 farms
devoted to the raising of oats. The
i average value Of the land was found
10 be $3.50 per acre. The largest item
in the cost of production Of oats on
I this land was the interest on the
T money Invested in the land at s. y per
! cent This production cost came 20
1883 per acre. All other production
costs came 70 $500 per acre. Thts
! over half the cost OF production was
: interest on the investment in land.
The study showed that on only Two

I were raising oats at loss. They could
vastly better afford TO sch their land

This is the way the thing works. As
population increases the price OF land
rises steadily, inevitably. The result
: is that the price Of farm products also
rises. All Of us, when we pay our
grocery bills, are giving half the
money 70 the landowners. But there

Hence the price Of land tends 70 rise
