GIVE U.s. CLEAN MONEY.

(By Guy Flenner Boise, Idaho)
The number of dollar shin plasters
in circulation in the west is increas-
ing rapidly. Day by day. in every
way they are getting more numerous
and dirty
There is a perfectly nice. clean lot
of silver coinage in the United States
Why can't we get it?
In the east where currency is re-
tired regularly and new bills substi-
tuted, the shin plasters are no doubt
preferable, but out here, where the
constantly used dollar bills become
absolutely ragged and filthy. we should
be given silver.
We suggest that whenever a dollar
bill is offered that a request be made
for silver.
OF course, any kind of money will
do in a pinch, but so long as we have
any coming to u.s. let's have the sill
yer. 1t is clean, and moreover, it
suggests something firm and whole
some and western.

gested that an American flag should
be flown from staff on the bridge.
But the Washington commissioners
concluded they had no authority to
erect a flagstaff. that it would have
to be made the subject Of a special ap-
preparation by congress. and before
that was done the National Fine Arts
commission would have to give their
approval to the project Matters have
come to a pretty mess at the national
capital when the local authorities re
fuse to raise the Star Spangled Ban
ner on the Francis Scott Key bridge
because they say they have not the
specific authority of congress and be-
cause the artistic effect of the flag
on the bridge has not yet received the
approval of the fine arts commission.

have used them vociferously as a
means of getting votes. as evidenced
by the readiness with which the COM

airy expedient that may leave the far
mers and the country in worse pre-
dicament than that which II attempts
to remedy. The Gooding bill proposes
to fix the price for three years, and
what then? With an assured price for
the product every farmer will go his
limit in raising wheat and an over
production will be inevitable. The
surplus must find foreign market and
the export price will be far below that
fixed by the government and it will be
up to the government to make up the
difference to the producer. At the end
OF three years Uncle Sam will have
paid handsomely for more business
experience and the situation that will
confront the farmer will not be ma
terially different from that which ex-
lists today.
