FEARLESS MEN
ARE NEEDED
c. E. Ashburner Speaks to
Kiwanians on Coming
Election
WEIGH CANDIDATES
Urges Selection of Five Best Men Re-
gardless of Politics or Religion and
For Citizens to Get Behind Them.

Charles d. Ashburner, city manager
of Norfolk, in his address yesterday
afternoon before the kawanis Club
said in part: Every man owes an OBJ
legation to the community for the
purpose of living in that community,
and it is only by unsclfish service that
you will get the best out of it. know
it is sacrifice to serve in public
office. Someone has got to do it and
it is the men who are big enough to
deal in conditions. mean by that that
they are big enough to do things be-
cause it is right to do them or TO
leave things undonc because some do
not want them done.
1T is up to your citizens to create Il
sentiment that will make it All abSo-
lutte duty to get men who will serve
you particularly at this time when We
are undergoing Charge in the form
of government. You should elect men
who know no men regardless of pol'tl-
ties or religion; men who know no
favorite. and if you do that You will
have Il prosperous community. OH
should get away from sectional and
petty politics. You should get the Vi
sion Of seeing what the man did for
the community.
"Bc not against the other man be-
cause you differ from him in religion
or politics or prohibition. Get out on
the streets and get it into the hearts
of the organization that when they
select honest and fearless men and
get men best for the community YOU
will go forward by steps you never
dreamed of before.
Everyone owes It to weigh every
candidate in the field. Your future WEI
fare depends on the selection. \ ma
iority Of the people of AlcXandTla
voted to change the form of govern
mcnt and they demand that you select
five of the best men and when YOU do
get behind them and then in the
struggle they will have. Some persons
think that after you put them III Of
flee all you have got to do is 20 20 up
to them and they can pull money eff 3
tree. Anything you get you have got
to pay for,
assessments in Virginia are about
fifty per cent on the $l00. You feel
that when you are paying taxes some
one is robbng you. When yen pay
your taxes you are investing in your
corporation. You are working for your
home town making ii better to ike
in.
"Chcago has tax rate of $40 on
the 500 and that is why they have
so many fine things. Don't go nutty
because Il tax of ten cents is asked
you 10 put Il deal across"
Concluding his address Mr.. Ash
burner said: You should vote foT n
man who stands up for and says !
am for Alexandria and then you will
know you have done the best you can
for the community as God can see it.
Julian Y. Williams presided and in
troduccd the speaker. Mr.. Williams
declared we were on the eve Of the

formal requests from the administra-
ton urging close following by congress
of the estimate submitted by the new

ment appropriation bill reported to-
day by the house appropriations COM
mittee, disclosed a cut of approx
mately nine per cent The measure
is the first of the regular supply bills

sen. OWEN URGES EURO PEAN RESERVE BANK
LINKED WITH j. S. SYSTEM FOR NORMALLY

rency through the printing press. In
some countries of Europe people, have
been compelled to abandon making
contracts in terms of currency and
have to resort to the clumsy system
of barter-so many bushels of pota.
toes for SO many bushels of corn or
coal.
How can manufacturers construct
goods for future delivery in terms of
marks when the mark at the time OF
future payment threatens a high per
centake of loss? How can merchants
buy and sell in terms of marks or 9TH
er deprecated currency when such
units stretch fromonevalueasaidd
units stretch from one value to an
other without notice?
THE outstanding factor that retards
restoration of European industry and
commerce then is the lack of gold-se-
cured currency This, the United
States is able to provide the means for
supplying a currency secured by gold,
redeemable in gold and secured at
the same time by merchantable com-
modities that in themselves open and
renew the ways of trade.

FIND LESS DEMAND,
BROADER ACTIVITY
FOR BANKERS BILLS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 Lessened
demand generally for bills of accept
ances but a somewhat broader activity
was reported by the federal reserve
board today in year and survey of
conditions in the acceptances markets
of the twelve reserve districts.
Activity prevailing in the bill mar
ket in November did not continue
in December, Boston reported, and
sales during one week were describ-
ed as the lowest for the year. The
influence of tax payments coming
simultaneously with new certificate
issue and the year end adjustments
had deterrent effect on the invest
ors, according to the survey.
A considerable decline in the coun-
try's foreign trade during 1921, in ad-
dition to the fall in prices resulted
in reduction in the amount of bank
ers bills in the New York market, the
survey continued, adding, however,
that there was steadily broadening
market
"a highly important development of
1921" the report said, was the growth
of market for call money lent
