WHAT is MONEY?


In recent issue you had an edi
torial styled Commodity Money" in
which you disagreed with those who
consider Money" commodity. and
next you seemed TO believe that the
federal or national law should stabii-
ize the exchange value" or "purchas-
ing power of our money.
The dictionary says that n Com
modify" is an article of commerce ::
goods. merchandise.
Most of the articles of commerce
are manufactured products. and are
products of land and labor: thev
are generally utilities and necessities
And their exchange values insistently
vary according to the Circumstance.
that affect their demand and supply
and their production.
1t must be admitted that money is
universal necessity. worldwide

ana surely very marketable commod

law of demand and supply: there.
lore money. like other products. has 4
variable and uncomfortable exchange
value purchasing power) in the mar.
kets of the world.
No government has a Just right TO
make prices: that is one of the in
herent rights of humanity" Qaborl.
1t IS an economic error to ATTEMPT 10
stabilize exchange values. We have
stabilized the number of grains of
precious metals which constitute a
dollar. and that is the key note of
honest trade, but that leaves prices
untrammeled.
Since governments have no legisla-
tive control over the elements of ma
lure. nor over the many accidental
conditions that have great effect on
production and consumption, AMI
which cause an inevitable fluctuation
IN market values. legislators must
keep hands off. Money" has no moro
right TO a guaranteed exchange value
than wheat has or beef, coal. suyai
or leather. etc. The business of life
Is practically speculation of judy
ment and governments must go slow
IN interfering with this inherent right
of the human liberty of Judgment.
Some endeavors succeed and some
fail; that's the game; it has ever been
so, and thus will continue. Connect
tion is the spice of life, the life of
trade. and is the prime protector of
the markets and the people. We have
two good examples in the Kansas
wheat and hog problem, and in the
substitute fuels in the coal contro.
versy. Competition is the "liver regu.
lator' of trade. Industrial Huns will
object.
The initial fact that "land and
labor are the two sole prime factors
of all the business of the world. must
ever be clearly held in mind. and, that
they have inherent just rights that
must not be taken from them.
The secondary factors of business
are the products OF land and labor"
of which money" is one, and all
should be subject to the law of de-
mand and supply. which requires the
maintenance of competition. for which
purpose we have the Sherman anti
trust law-but which law has never
been applied to our selfish monoD-
olistic gold standard money supply
system. which is death TO justice.

%. The Cougar football eleven will
probably be strong at the ends this
year, for two reasons. Coach Al. A.
Exendine is an all-American player
at the end position. and one of his
assistants, Tom WheIan, was men
toned as alI-American end when he
played at Georgetown University,
and they have a wealth Of material
for the job.
Last year, the Cougars were
weak on the ends, but for the pres

year, is out, and is beginning to
show speed. With coaching such
