THE FARCE AT GALLUP.

Those who will read the article of Mr.. Magee
on the front page today will be convinced both of
the folly and the crminaty of sending troops to
Gallup at this time. No adequate cause exists
Not only have the troops been taken needlessy
away from their regular employment and the state
saddled with a than useless expense but a
source of irritation has been introduced into an
otherwise tranquil situation.
The governor has been imposed upon by Gregory
Page, republican boss Of Mckinley county and cog
in the poitco-financial machine in this state. At
his request and without shadow of justification
the taxpayer is burdened labor irrltated and the
good name of law-abding Gallup is hurt
Worse yet than all that is the fact that another
precedent is set of the suspension of the civil rights
of the people. Martial law prevails where It is need
ed about as little in a graveyard. Mayors sher-
IFS and courts suspended and a car rules arb-
trarily over the people That he may prove benev-
client and wise does not change the menace to the
people. Civil liberties are sacred and should be
suspended in cases of extreme necessity only
The whole episode is startling illustration of
the hold which the politico financial group has on

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
GOVERNMENT COAL MINING.
CFrom the New York Timesl

(ErOm the New York TimeS.)
Several advanced thinkers--who advance in
their thinking by means of insight and vision
rather than by keeping their feet on the ground
have lately been declaring that there is nothing
for it but to put the government into the coal
mining business. Senator Borah is not reasoner
OF that order, yet he also contemplates the posi-
bllty OF government operation of the coal mines.
He argues that the industry is plainly dsorganized;
that it is conducted with great seasonal frregu-
arity and with huge waste; and he concludes that,
if the owners do not soon better coordinate and
cut down their costs of production, the government
will have to step in and do the necessary work
in tho public interest.
To speak with straight face of government
operation as means of eliminating waste and ex-
travagance must be hard for Mr.. Borah or any,
body else Look at the figures of the governments
balance sheet in the shipping business Consider
the lavish operation of the railroads by the gov
eminent. 1t may be said that these were abuses
due to wartime emergencies. when everybody cried
hang the expense. and it may be hoped that if the
government were to set about the mining of coal
it would suddenly become marvel of economy
and efficiency.
Granting the will to this miraculous alteration,
how could the thing be done? Plainly, in other
way than by drastic reorganization of the entire
soft-coal industry. Many mines would have to be
abandoned as Improbable. considerable per-
cenage of the surplus miners would have to be
permanently dismissed and told 10 find some other
means of livelihood And the wages of those who
were kept at work would have to be brought
nearer their true economic level. But can any
body imagine the government resolutey undertake
ing these and other similar steps, being al
lowed to pursue them even If it did? The case
would at once be thrown into politics A power
ful local interest would be developed. There
would be coal miners bloc in congress And
the more probable result the almost certain re-
suit would be waste piled on waste instead of
being cut out, and high and higher wages though
these might not be, wholly passed on to the con-
sumner in the shape of increased price of coal
since the treasury would be counted upon to make
up the humping deficits. And innocent citizens
would be expected not to be aware that they were
paying good part of their fuel bills in the form
Of taxes!
OF course, the government may ultimately have
TO work the coal mines But let us not drug our
selves with decisions about it. If we must come
to government operation. let us put away fairy
stories and keep our eyes open to exactly what it
will mean.

ply of anything makes it cheaper.
lhls is as true of money as. of coal
or potatoes. The Jesuit was that
this plentiful supply Of paper mon
ey made money cheap. In othe"
words people who had consuma-
Bile goods to sell would not ex-
change them for a small quantity
OF the cheap money as of the old
fashioned money, backed by gold.
This meant that prices rose. The
United States experienced initiation
of currency but of a milder char
acter The gold standard was not
abandoned here. Prices rose in
this country one or two hundred
per cent in some cases, but in Eu-
rope they rose thousands of per
cent.
Exchange Hurts Europe.
4 further result was that Euro
pean money being cheaper and
more plentiful than American
money, foreign exchange became
unfavorable to Europe. That is,
European money would not buy as
much here as American money
would buy in. Europe.
There is law of economies
known as Gresham's law. which
lays down the rule that where two
kinds OF money are in circulation
and one is much inferior in yalla
to the other, the more valuabl,
type Will retire. People who have
it, believing it to be of greater
value and therefore more worth
keeping, will hoard it away. This
was done to great extent all over
Europe. AS the initiation pro.
crossed, people who had gold
pieces or silver money or paper
money of nations in better finan-
cial shape than their own hid this
wealth away and used the more
plentiful cheap paper currency.
The extent to which European
initiation has gone is notorious. The
european news cables every day
say something of the difficulties
being experienced as a result of the
initiation. The Russian ruble and
the German mark are favorite
comic pictures and vaudeville
theater jokes because they have
become so cheap. 1t now costs

meal in Russia.
The German mark, which in nor
mai times was worth, at what is
called the par of exchange, nearly
quarter in American money, now is
50 cheapened that you tcan buy
three marks for an American
penny. The Austrian crown has
been as cheap as 5000 for 81. A
$40 bill of American money in
Russia would exchange for enough
rubles to make what would have
been Russian fortune before the
war.
Trade, especially international
trade, has become very difficult
under these conditions. The prob
lem Of restoring these currencies to
something like their normal value
has perplexed European financiers
and economists ever since the in
flation started. 1t is one of the big
before the Genoa confer
ence which has been called to solve
economic and political
problems. The United States de-
clined an invitation to this confer
ence, partly because of the dangers
of becoming involved in so unstable

EUROPE HURT
BY CHEAPNESS
OF EXCHANGE
BY FREDERICK j. uASKIN.

".
Warrington, April 7.-Students
of international finance and econo-
nfcs are aware of a new develop
ment in connection with the de-
preciated currencies of Europe
These currencies have constituted
one of the most veXed problems
brought on by the war.
The need for greatly increased
sums of money, brought about by
the war cost, was met by most of
the nations by the issue of paper
currency without relation to gold
reserve. In normal times the pa
per currency of q nation has a
definite gold reserve, generally
about 40 per cent. The emergency
of war caused the abandonment of
this reserve by all belligerent ma
tons excepting the United States,
because the national treasures of
these nations lacked adequate gold
to maintain the reserve ratio. In
the United States the treasury and
the federal reserve banks discour-
aged use of gold and gold certifi-
Gates for general circulation and
accumulated the greatest stock of
gold ever assembled in the history
of the world. 1t was withdrawn
gradually from circulation and
piled up in the treasury and the
vaults of the federal reserve banks.
An inevitable result of this poll
cy was that, during the war and
following the armistice, the Euro
bean printing presses, being def
nitely cut loose from the retarding
element Of a gold reserve, kept on
running at high speed, turning out
reams of paper money which went
into circulation. 1t is q natural
rule that the increase of the sup

meeting took place outside of Mom-
my Simminses store last Thersday
to protest agenst the high cost of
sour balls being cent now instead
of for cent like before the war,
and a committee was elected con-
sisting of Benny Potts and Leroy
Shoosters to go in and tell Mommy
Simmins that the price of every
thing was coming down so WV not
sour balls. but she chased the COM
mittee rite out agen without giving
them eny satisfaction.
