.HOLL|NCER WORLDS
 CHIEF GOLD MINE

Shutdown of the world leading Crown Mines, Ltd, by the Ranc strike automatically advances the Hollinger property to first place Even without the South African sus- pension, it is probable that the big Canadian producer would soon have surpassed it's foreign rival. Grown Mines record in 1920 was 672,73S fine ounces, against better than 100000 ozs. for Hollinger. However, by the end of 1922 it is understood the north ern producer will be handling 1000 tons of $S ore daily, or total of from 900,000 to 950,00O ozs. a year. Grown Mines averaged 183,5O0 tons of $6.30 ore monthly in 1920, before in cluding exchange premium. Sharp wage and materials reductions more than offset shrinking exchange prem iumS.
 Favorable developments in big Holl- inger have infected other Canadian gold mining companies. The Tough Oakes unit of Kirkland Lake Proprie- tary is preparing to resume milling operations. Porcupine V. N. T., is ex- pected to join the procession before

MINING INCREASE IS CERTAIN
 OPINION OF WESTERN ECONOMIST

By LetsOn Balliett, Efficiency En gineer, Specialist on Industrial Eco nOmics and Writer upon Subjects oi lrdust-ia! and Political Economy.
 From every scientific standpoint from the mechanical standpoint ir \ every industry ,and from the finan, cial standpoint, it is a physical i'm, possibility to issue more paper credit; than there is money to pay, and have the paper worth as much as the money.
 The more paper money we print the more we strain our credit, and the less the paper is worth. If you doubt that just try to buy pair of shoes. Five years ago pair of shoes that would wear for six months could be bought for $4. Today if you offer the shoe merchant $4 for that same pair of shoes he will tell you that your money isn't worth as much as the shoes and that you'll have to give him 12 of those cheap dollars before he will let you have the shoes. The shoes will not last day longer than the same pair would five years ago, and are worth no more, but the dollars are worth less.
 When we called those promises-to- pay dollars" we could not bring the paper up to the value of the metal dollar, but we merely pulled the value of the metal dollar down to the value of the fiat money we called the same name.
 You cannot blame labor, for want ing the increase in his pay, because the stuff that was being handed out to him as payment for his work was worth less than half what he had been getting.
 Daniel Webster said "Cheap paper money is the cruelest device known for coining the poor mans sweat into the rich mans dollars"
 A paper dollar has no value in it. self. The greater the amount of paper that is floated around the world up- on the nations credit the less the dollar is worth. It is fiat, fictitious money that you tender labor as his pay.
 And now comes Henry Ford, with $125, 5,OO0,000 bank balance and worth a billion dollars, accumulated in 17 years, who wants to buy the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant and put many men to work, and who proposes to relieve the financial stringency by is suing more fiat money, and paying them in paper, which will have no more value than the paper money of soviet Russia.
 Permit me to call your attention to several trials of paper money. Diaz, Carranza, Villa, Zapata, Huerta, Ma dera, Obregon and other presidents of 1 Mexico have all issued paper money. What was it ever worth, and what is it worth today? Yet if each one of the presidents had had gold to back every dollar that paper would have been exchangeable for gold any place, and would have been as good today as the gold that backed it. Never has Mexican paper been worth any more than the bullion value of the silver in
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-02-03

the Mexican dollar, for which it was
 supposed to be redeemable. Of late
 years when it had no redeemable value
 except the credit of the government in
 power, its value was but few cents
 on the dollar.
 One hundred and twenty-five years ago it required 5000 in paper money
 to buy meal in France, and 100
 paper dollars to buy one candle.
 Why? Because they had more paper money than they had specie, or coin
 to redeem it.
 The United States has been caught in the craze of paper money. Some say it was an emergency measure, some say it was a mistake, some say it was a graft for profiteers, but whatever it was, the result is the same; this country has more paper money floating than it has specie to back it. The result is that it is worth so little that we are forced to pay high prices for what we buy. The ICdl ldCtS Ol IilS II. V. IL. IS lllc IL. V. M., or low value of money.
 There is only one remedy. There can be only one remedy, and that is to produce the metal from the mines to back up the over-issued fiat money. What good is more money to anyone if it buys less? If you would have it buy more, make it worth more. That is the only solution to the prob lem.
 The business mems clubs, cham bers of commerce, manufacturers as- sociations and merchants associations are clamoring to "keep money circu- lating." The effects are idiotic, for money is like water, it will not cir culate without an incoming supply. It becomes stagnant money when there is nothing coming into the supply. It will not circulate without the impact of the incoming supply any more than any other perpetual motion scheme.
 These merchants and manufactur- CTS want you to circulate your money while they gather it in, but why doesn't the merchant circulate his own money by buying more for himself, and why doesn't the manufacturer practice what he breaches and cir culate his money by employing the idle labor? Simply because the whole scheme is intangible and impossible. It takes power to make any thing circulate or rotate-incoming power and the only power that can make money circulate is incoming money from the mines.
 The mining industry holds the fu- ture in it's hands. It has the world "on the hip,V so to speak. The world must dig itself out of very bad fi- nancial scrape by digging in the mines.
 Certain people will try to fool them selves into the belief that they can find another way out, and may fight off desires to enter into the mining industry, but there is only one way out, and the miner says 'They've got to dig now or come to it pretty soon."
 Now is the time for the mining en- gineers and mine owners to come for ward and save the country from panic
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-02-03

Remove the taxation from mining effort, from money invested in mines and remove the penalty tax upon pro- duction of gold and silver, then min. ing operations will be multiplied SC rapidly that we can pay the war debt and back every paper dollar with golo and silver. Make it an object fol men and money to go into mining don't penalize them by excess taxation and the world will have the money it needs.
 Taxation will be removed-it will have to be removed from effort to produce gold and silver, before the world can make it's paper money worth anything.
 Metal is indestructible. A cannon of last year may be a door-knob this year. The conservation of metal in the ground is a fallacy. Posterity would not be deprived of the benefit of the metal if it were all put on the surface of the earth in this genera tion. Why deprive this generation of its use, and make the next generation have the trouble of mining it?
 Mining will be the first industry to recover, and as mining increases other business will improve until the coun- try gets back to normalcy. Until mining relieves the situation by the momentum of it's production, other in dustries will stand still, and the paper

WELL KNOWN ATLANTA
ATTORNEY PASSES AWAY

ATLANTA, Dee. 18.-Hamilton
Douglas, Sir, one of Atlanta's most
prominent attorneys and civic lead
ers, died Sunday after an illness of
several weeks at local hospital.
Little hope had been held for his
recovery since he suffered a stroke of
paralysis on December /. This was
followed by q second stroke last Mon
day, and since that time he had been
in an unconscious condition, failing
to show signs of Improvement. Mr.
Douglas had been resident of At
lanta since 1887, and was prominent
ly identified with the city's develop
ment and growth. He had resided
for number of years at 1925 Peach
tree road. Besides his widow, who
like her husband, has taken an active
part in civic and social affairs, having
been past president of the Atlanta

ATTENTION EX-SERVICE men!
THE AMERICAN LEGION NEEDS YOU
ByR.L~ CRAWFORD Commander
John D. Mathis Post, No.

One of the most vital problems
confronting the American Legion
at the present time, is the question
of membership. Ever since the in
cegtion of the American Legion, con-
siderable time and efforts have been
turned to this problem, and while
we have made considerable gain, we
have not been able to enroll the per-
centage of ex-service men that we
should have.
This is partly due to the fact that
many ex-service men have never had
explained to them, just what the
American Legion is-its aims, ideals
and accomplishments. To acquaint
themselves with what the American
Legion stands for, they need only
to read the preamble of this great
organization, which for your infor-
nation, is quoted below:
For God and country, we asso-
ciate ourselves together for the fol-
lowing purposes:
ITO uphold and defend the consti-
tuition of the United States of Amer
lea; to maintain law and order; to
foster and perpetuate one hundred
per cent Americanism; to preserve
the memories and incidents of our
association in the Great War; to in
culcate a sense of individual obi
gaticn to the community, state and
nation; to combat the autocracy of
both the classes and the masses; to
to make right the master of might
TO promote peace and good will on
earth; to safeguard and transmit to
rostcrity the principles of justice,
freedom and democracy; to conse-
crate and sanctify our comradeship
by our devotion to mutual helpful
ness"
i we expect the American Legion
70 grow and develop, to be that pow
or for good that our preamble pledges
it to be, then we must increase our
membership so as to include a great
or percentage of our comrades who
fought and stood for the same high
principles and patriotism and loyal
ty that actuated our service to the
government.
1t is an old maxim sin numbers
there is strength" but a true one.
If We can bring our comrades out

cation, and let them use this agency
for furthering good citizenship, and
promoting better things for this
great nation, then our Influence will
be felt over a much broader scope,
and our effectiveness increased many
fold.
We are not an exclusive organiza-
ton, but pride ourselves on the
democratic spirit that permeates the
American Legion. The John D. Ma
this Post No. 2, wants every eligible
ex-service man in Sumter county to
become a member OF the Legion, and
not only to be a dues-paying mem
Der, but to attend the meetings, and
assist in carrying out the varied pro-
gram outlined by this post for the
year 1928. Because of the psycholo-
gy of man, many of our comrades,
in fact a majority of them, will not
voluntarily offer themselves for
membership, but will stand back and
wait until they are invited and urg-
ed; then if given a clear explanation
of the aims, ideals and accomplish
ments of the American Legion, they
will in the majority of cases signify
their willingness to become members.
Being unable to see each and every
ex-service man in Sumter county
personally, l am appealing to you
through the columns Of this paper,
with the idea in view Of getting you
to become a member of this great
organization, an organization, with
10000 posts and over one million
members, and of which every ex-serv-
ice man should be justly proud to
be a member.
Herewith is printed a blank form
of application for membership in
the John D. Mathis Post No. 2.
Membership in this post runs from
January to December 81 each year.

ship is $500, which also entities you
