NEWS OF THE CONSTI-
TUTIONAL CONVENTION

written by J. S. Hubbard, Execu-
tive Secretary Missouri Press AS
sociation for Week Ending Sept.
16, 1929
Jefferson City, Sept. 15.-After
four days of discussion on the ques-
tion of the primary election system,
in which various remedies were Of
fered to better the nominating sys-
tenn of the state, a compromise was
finally reached by a substitute to the
committee report. Briefly it gives
any political party which cast per
cent of the vote for governor in the
last general election the option of
choosing its nominees at a primary or
a delegate convention. The general
assembly is charged with the duty OF
safeguarding the primary election or
convention by law, so that no sharp
practices may creep in to defeat the
VIII CT the people.
During the discussion it was urged
by some that the primary should be
abolished entirely, because 1t was
charged that it had been az failure;
that it did not give the people the
right to call candidates to office, but
that they were cornpefied oevote for
those who named themselves or re-
frain from voting at all. Others in;,

ton. Mistake No. 3. There are many
other similar mistakes with regard to
the publication of a newspaper, but
these will answer for the moment.
|, A newspaper is not duty bound to
print anything that it doesn't want 10
print. There is no rule that requires
it to print something Of absolutely
no news value Just because somebody
wants it printed. 1t is not obliged 10
effusively laud some person where
laudation is not earned, nor to lam
baste some individual whose advezse
criticism is not deserved. 1t is not
printed for the purpose of satisfying
selfish motives. There is not the re-
motest reason why it should give
away its space to somebody who is
running something for monetary ben
eft.
The mission of a newspaper is 10
print news of general interest. Ad-
vertising is not news. Something
concerning a single individual is not
news. An article skinning some pri-
vate enemy or opponent is not news.
Numerous other things of like na-
ture that find their way into a news
paper office are not news. 1t is not
hard for trained newspaper man OF
draw the distinguishing line. 1t is
not hard for anybody to draw the
distinguishing line if they will stop a
moment and give the matter logical
thought.
True it is that a newspaper gives
away much, especially where charity
is concerned, but it does not follow
that the publisher should adopt char
ity as an established custom and open
the door freely to all corners. Space
is the only thing that a newspaper
has to sell, and the publisher who
gives it away is no wiser than the
merchant who gives away a hat or
a suit of clothes to the man who
comes into his store and asks for
them.-Ex.

WHY SILVER is
RETAINED AS MONEY

Nominally upon the single gold
standard, the United States still re-
tains silver as a standard basis of
value. The reason is not generally
known, nor is the fact that the illu-
sion of ultimate redemption, that
myth which leads many to hesitate
to follow their conviction as to the
real function of money, does not ap-
ply to silver, which is its own re-
demption and also the redemption of
every dollar of paper money in the
hands of the people. Only the gold
certificate and obligations expressly
specifying gold redemption are re-
deemable in gold at the option of the
holder, redeeming agencies retaining
the option of using silver or lawful
money in all other cases.
There is no question of the utility
of silver in our currency system;
if the fiction that a commodity re-
demption is necessary continues to
obtain, silver is the only metal which
can supply currency Of proper de-
nominations for public service; and
as long as silver and gold were coined
on the same basis, the elasticity of the
money volume was more accurate
than it has been under the various
laws provided to bring about that ca
pacity of automatic expansion and
contraction deemed necessary for
equitable performance of contracts.
Argument on this point is useless.
Economists, whether supporting mo-
nometalism, bimentalism, or no-metal-
ism, are agreed on it.
The difference since demonetization
of silver is that only gold is a metal
privileged to free coinage, or coin
age on private account. The govern
ment owns no gold, buys none; but
owners of gold are privileged to de-
post the same with the government
and take in return gold coins or
their representatives (certiicates} J,
the government stamp merely certi-
flying the fineness and weight of the
metal disc. The real issuer ofsg9ld,
me-ev is nnt the government, but the
owner of the gold. If he takes the
certificate, the government mei'efy
-+nres 'he metal free of charge for
him. What makes the gold dollar
money is not the. stamp, but the law
which makes it the unit.
BInentalism as a theory proposed
to make a double unit of value, by re-
staring to silver the. privilege of free

count. This system began with the
fiscal history Of the government, and
obtained until demonetization.

least, In which they were presented.
Many had no place in the constitu-
tion, being purely legislative in char
acter.
1t has been suggested in a newspa-
per report that farmers and others in
the state, who have shown opposi-
tion to the convention, were afraid
that the members were bent on in
creasing state expenses and therefore
taxes. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. On the contrary, in
! every committee an attempt has been
! made in the. consideration of the
problems, to conserve the interests of
the taxpayers in every way possible.
An earnest effort is being made to re-
duce the expense of government and
to tighten the burdens of the taxpay-
ers. If some of the sections written
by the various committees with this
end in view are passed upon favor
ably by the convention, the propo-
nents feel that they can go before the
people and promise an incalculable
saving to the taxpayers if the consti-
tuition is adopted. All the expense of
the convention, they contend, will be
mere trifie when compared with the
annual saving that will result.
Representatives of the st. Louis
Board of Education appeared before
an informal session of the Committee
on Education Wednesday. They
wished to inform themselves on the
proposals of the committee relative
to supervision of the schools of St.
Louis. They were informed that it
was the intention of the committee
report in providing for a state board
of education to have its powers ex-
tend to all the public schools of the
State and therefore to St. Louis. The
representatives did not wish to ex-
press an opinion offhand, but took
copy of the committee report, so far
as it is completed, and promised to
write to the chairman as to the con-
clusions reached. This will include
an opinion on the teachers retire
ment fund provision which the COM
mittee had tentatively agreed upon,
because of the demand that came
from st. Louis and Kansas City that
the general assembly be given the
power to pass an enabling act for To-
cal option on the question.
The report of the Committee on
Taxation, the provisions of which
have been tentatively adopted, is be-
ing written up for submission and
final passage by the committee before
1t goes to the convention. 1t will
probably be at least ten days before
this report comes into the convention.
1t will contain some of the most i'm
portant provisions for consideration
by the members, and which may be
among the most far-reaching of any
to be submitted in the constitution
when finally completed.
Many petitions are pouring in ask
ing for favorable action on the pro-
posal regarding the reading of the
Bible in the schools. This provision,
as has been previously stated. comes
to the convention, from the bill of
rights committee where it received a
tie vote, and so will besconGidered by
the committee of the whole as a sep-
arate proposition. but IL adopted will

dignation and its perpetrators sought
to, and did, evsde the impending
storm by makeshift which pacified
the people hit played into the hands
of the usurerS. Coinage of silver on
government account furnished the So
called silver ,riHe-v1neapy the sJadvo-
Gates of gold--a market for the metal
without investing it with any benefit
to the people as a whole
This makeshift was wiped out un-
der President Cleveland, the first oc-
cupant of the White House with the
courage to do it. However much we
may believe him to have been in the
wrong, or to have broken his plat
form pledges, Grover Cleveland car
ried his convictions to the extent ev-
EN- of wrecking his party. :
During the World War the United
States aided England, threatened with
an Indian uprising because Germany
had shut off her supply of silver, by
selling the silver coins in the Treas
ury. There was something like
$500 900 900. 1t did not belong to the
government to sell. 1t was private
property, owned by holders of silver
certificates and stored for them. 1t
might have been a serious matter but
for one thing: silver had been made
available for cash-bank reserves, and
the notes in circulation were quietly
absorbed for that purpose. Then
came the Pittman act, to restore the
metal dollars required for certificate
redemption.
Here is where the fine hand of the
mine owners again came in, and when
mine owners are referred to, it might
as well be understood the manipulate
ors of our fiscal laws are the mine
owners: Silver in the market at the
time of the enactment of the Pittman
law was worth as a commodity less
than go cents an ounce; foreign sill
yer now is rounding 65. The Pittman
law provides that the government buy
domestic silver at one dollar an ounce
and proceed to coin silver dollars un-
til the amount sold England shall
have been replaced. Thus the money
kings are given subsidy on their
metal while pretending to satisfy the
people, who are not benefited because
there is no added volume of money in
At the present rate of purchase and
coinage (the authority quoted should
be noted-N. H. Lowrie, managing
director of the American gold and
Silver Institute), it is estimated that
the silver dollars will have been re-
placed by November of next year,
when the Pittman act is to expire if
not renewed. ITO protect their inter
ests," Mr.. Lowrie says, "silvcr pro-
ducers should be guided in their op-
erations and plans for the future mar
keting of silver by, the minimum life
of the Pittman act"
All of which is illuminating, both
as to the class legislation by which
the country has paid tribute to the
Money Trust, and to the general pub
lie when approached to invest in sill
yer mining.-Dearborn Independent.

In this issue of The Times appears
the name of Ed. Manley, of Flat Riv-
er, on the Republican ticket as a can
didate for Associate Justice of the
County Court from the First Dis
trict. Mr.. Manley has a wide ac-
quaintance throughout st. Francois
county, and he is everywhere recog-
nized as man Of unusual business
qualifications and of highest moral
character and integrity. The fact
that he has been nominated by the
Republicans for that important posi-
tion is assurance that the people will
have a member of the County Court
who can be depended to stand true to
the people, should he be elected.
While he is a native of this city, he
has for a number of years been sue
cessfully engaged in business in Flat
River, where he is recognized as one
of their most capable and dependable
citizens. OF course The Times be-
lieves that this will prove to be an
overwhelming Democratic year in

ty Judge from the First District is
concerned, the peoples best interests
will be safe, no matter which side

Upon the completion of the Suf-
frage and Elections report by the
committee of the whole, the. report
of the Committee on Legislation
which had been completed in the
committee of the whole, was called
up Thursday for consideration in the
convention. Minor amendments were
passed upon and new amendments
were presented. One calling for the
payment of a salary of $3.50 per
year to members of the general as
sembly, but placing no limitation on
the length of the sessions, met with
little support and was voted down,
as to IL, as was an amendment for
$500 salary annually. Another
amendment provided for a salary of
$400 per annum and per diem of 81
per day additional for all regular
and special sessions. This met a
similar fate, as did one changing the
limitation of sessions from the COM
mittee provision of sixty days to sew
enty days, which is now in effect.
A proposed additional section to
the committee report aims to prevent
the legislature in the future from
granting special powers to any
boards, associations or agencies, the
proposal being made a special order
for Tuesday morning, Sept. 10. 1t
provides that, "Any examination as
to qualifications, where the public
welfare requires qualifications, for
the practice of any occupation or pro-
fession, shall not be delegated to any
board, association or agency thereof,
but shall be conducted under the
supervision of one of the appropriate
departments of state under such reg
ulations as the general assembly may
provide, and shall be upon the essen
tials of the theory and practice and
