 Shakespeare Club
 Monday night found the members of the Shakespeare club assembled at the Kennedy home where the regular April business meeting was presided over by Miss Lintz in the absence of the president. Current events were given by Mrs. Noble after which Mrs. Freda Johnson read and discussed the very clever story Brothers" a re- cent story from the pen of the popu- lar author of "The Fat of the Land." These short stories have been an un- usual revelation to. the club as it has studied them from time to time.
 Not only interesting but inspiring as well. Next Monday night the club will meet with Mrs. Isham and en- joy an evening on art.

ART EXHIBIT AT BABBITTS'.

Mrs. Westbrook Robertson, cousin of Zane Grey, who is with him on the reservation to illustrate his forth coming novel, has left collection of her color work with Ernest Lennon, manager of the curio department at Babbitts', who has it on display. In these pictures one recognizes much that is familiar. For instance, Danny Campbell wrangling horses, Kellam and Heckethorn branding cattle, and many Indian pictures painted during the long time the artist lived at Tuba City.

must use it. Edison,s plan would
enable the farmer to hold his crop
by paying a small warehouse or
storage charge and without nav.
ing any interest whatever. He
could live on the so per per cent
money that the Government adj
vances him and could sell the cron
whenever he thought the market
was right but must sell a nercents
age each month.
There would necessarily ho q
certain amount of speculation. bnt
it would be in the hands of fho
farmer, the actual producer of the
material, and not in the hands of
a non-producive trader who Is
watching the board in some brok-
erage office. Price fluctuat;ons
would be gradually reduced ne
forced sales by the producer would
be practically eliminated. AS a
net result the farmer would uet
more money for his crop and the
miller would pay less for his wheat
than they do today.
1t is of interest to note that
when Edison first began to work
out this problem he said: sTt seems
absurd to me that all our values
should be based on boxes of metal
in the Treasury. They are put
into vaults, the vaults are locked
and Immediately everyone believes
that all is well. They are taken
out and their contents distributed
and everyone believes that all is
wrong.
Sometimes a ton or so of gold
which has been locked up in the
Treasury vaults is put on a steam
err and sent to Europe, immediate
ly re-shipped back to New York
and business stability is brought
to pass, this shuttle-cock business
being kept up because no one comes
out with plan to stop such child
ish actions.
ct is an absurdity, but every
body has been educated to believe
that this absurdity is common
sense-serious and not to be con-
troverted. Everybody believes be-
cause everybody has been educat-
ed ito believe that values can be
established and held stable only by
the creation and maintenance of q
standard based on the socalled
precious metals. In reality civili-
cation has become too complicated
for the continuance of such sys-
tenn.
"What is COLDS real usefulness ?
It makes pretty jewelry and pic
ture frames and is used effective
ly for filling teeth. Otherwise
it is almost wholly useless SUBJ
stance. Yet, we hold it the stand
ard Of all values!"
All that is necessary to put the
Edison plan into operation is a
Government ruling which would
name the standard prices over the
25 year period for all basic COM
modities and set up the necessary
machinery to receive and store the
commodities. Whatever its defects
it would greatly simplify and stabi-
lie basic industries it would mean
all-year employment for the ma
jorty of our workers who now suf-
fer for seasonal trends. And it
would in a large measure reduce
the high cost of living.
While the Babson experts are
still studying its ultimate effects
the plan offers much for the aver
age citizen to think about.

ey is made, only one kind of unit
money is issued together with the
deposit certificates.
Suppose a farmer puts in the
warehouse 1000 bushels of wheat
graded by the Government as No.
l Red. The average price for Is
years of this grade, including high
war prices, is, say $1.OO per bushel.
The farmer is given $500 in unit
money-he then can hold his wheat
by means of his certificate until
he thinks the price is satisfactory
and thus be Independent Of the
spectators who now set the price
ahead months before the crop is
reaped. This certificate is bought
on the exchange at market price
now, say $1.15 for No. Red. The
farmer would get $6.5O-as the
wheat is higher than the Is year
average. If, on the other hand,
it was selling at Sc cents he would
get $3.50.
"But the unit money would not
vary. 1t would. always be the
same because wheat would not be
likely to be sold over a period Of
one year for SO cents. In other
words the certificate or equity
would have to be valueless to inn
pair the value Of the unit money.
The averages are changed every
year, a year being added and the
earliest year of the 25 is dropped.
in or 5 years the Is year
average would be less and the
three year high war prices will
bring the average down so if
wheat sold at even SO cents it
would not impair the value of the
unit money.
IF person wants peanuts he
buys peanut certificates of if he
wants rice he buys rice certificates
or anything else which the Gov
eminent accepts for storage;
hands in the certificates and the
amount of unit money loaned, and
the commodity is at his order for
shipment. The unit money you
notice is common to all articles.
"Theu nit money cannot fiuctu-
ate. The capacity or possibility of
fluctuation is entirely transferred
to the certificate which is subject
to the prices due to supply and
demand.
cit is not necessary for the gov
eminent to pass any laws, legal
tender or otherwise with unit
money.
sThis unit money together with
gold for paying foreign balances
might well be the basis of our
currency. The business of the
world is rapidly increasing; in a
few years a single commodity like
gold will not be sufficient.
IF it were not for the war, we
should not have probably more
than 40 per cent Of our currency
backed by gold and even that sub
iect to being partly taken away
from US. We should have behind
every paper dollar commodities Of
the warehouse type, including gold
worth more than one dollar on
forced sales.
GAS most of our business is
done with credit money which also
based on credit and commodities,
there seems to be no reason why
the present Reserve Bank and sys-
tenn should be disturbed. The COM
modify or unit money could be
made the legal reserve instead of
gold alone.

Thomas Edison has submitted to
the staff engineers of The Babson
Institute his plan for stabiiizlng
business and breaking the back
bone of the high cost OF living.
He has authorized the following
popular description OF his theory.
With characteristic audacity, he
ooes to the heart of economic life.
He proposes to afford the ordin-
ary consumer cheaper commodi-
ties. to furnish the producer with
ready capital and security and to
eliminate middlemen and dishOn-
est speculators-by establishing
the government as the c0untry's
great middleman and by making
ordinary commodities as well as
gold the basis of currency.
Sometime ago, at the suggestion
Of Henry Ford and others, Edison
devoted himself to the study of the
cause of economic unrest. His
solution of this momentous prob
lem is now under the scrutiny of
the able economists and business
experts at Wellesley.
His plan is simple and startling.
He would have the government
list some forty basic commodities,
such as cotton, corn, copper, coal,
wheat, flax, iron and then taking
the prices Of the last twenty five
years as basis, establish an aver
age price for each. This price he
would have been determined in
terms Of gold and called q unit of
dollar.
He would have the gove.n 1t
take over or establish great ware
houses and storage plants. When
the producer is ready to market
his products he brings it to the
agent at the government ware
house, who gives him certificate
covering his whole deposit and at
the same time pays him half OF
the value of the deposit, as COM
puted, in cash on the 25-year aver
age basis. The government then
stores the product.
When q dealer wants the wheat,
coal, cotton, or any other commod-
ity he buys the producers certifi-
cate on the market; he presents
it at warehouse, pays the gov
eminent back the money advanced
and takes the products away.
The government-fixed average
price safeguards the producer from
ravages Of dishonest specnlations
The half-value payment he receives
from the government affords him
q ready capital. The certificate
he receives to put on the market
subject to the ordinary laws of
supply and demand. But the
certificate does not depend on the
gold in the Treasury vaults but
on the commodity in the ware
house. In one sense the Edison
plan is return to the ancient sys-
tenn Of barter as far as the COM
plexity of modern life will allow.
Unit money in the Edison plan
is not money in the popular con-
ception-that is, metal money or
money with metallic basis. The
day when metal furnishes the most
exclusive practical basis for me-
dunn of exchange as well as a
measure of value has, according
to Edison, gone by. His money
would still be determined in terms
Of gold. But instead of gold in
treasury vaults being its only
basis. you would have wheat in
the Government bins, coal in the
Government pits, rice in storage,
cotton in the warehouses, etc.

Warehouse" said Edison, ssbear the

BY JAMES o'CoNNELL.
President: American: Federation. OF
Labor Metal Trades Department q,


Some 20 years ago, several. thous-
and machinists in the city of Chi
cagoS were involved in ya. general
strike, for an increase in. wages, q
reduction in the hours of labor and
improved conditions OF employm emit.
The strike had been on: for several
weeks and owing to, the financial
condition of our :internationl organ
lzation: it was necessary that an
early settlement be brought about. I
called the executive officers of our
international association to Chicago
in conference with. the executives
committees Of the strikers. and we
arranged for conference with the
employers; After several such con:
ferences we secured a. compromise
proposition from the; employers. Our
international officers and the local
committees in charge Of the strike
agreed that owing to: our financial
conditions and the fear. that if. a
2ttlement'S was not made some Of
the men might, return to work it
was unanimously agreed to. recon-
mend to the men the employers
proposition as a basis of settling the
strike. -
Owing to the. large. number, Of
|. men involved it was impossible to
secure a hall large enough where
the men might all assemble at one
time: Some one suggested. that. the
Salvation Army: had a large tent on
the West Side of Chicas o: that would
hold several thousand people. We
secured permission to-: use the: tent
and the meeting Of the, strikers was
held in the afternoon: We were
fearful that the strikers would not
vote fayorably on the, basis Of, agree
ment: secured: from the: employers.
The. gathering: became so great and
the day being exceptionally warm
