GENERAL DISCUSSION OF
LOCAL MATTERS AT LIONS

A meeting Of the Lions club was
held Wednesday evening. after it was
found that the rains had made the
roads to Paonia almost impossible, 50
though no definite program had been
prepared. number Of pertinent is
sues were discussed.
1t was agreed that the club would
get behind the Hi-Y organization and
assist in every way possible in tax
ing care Of the young men at the
Older Boys Conference which is to
be held here December Z, and 9.
Regarding the approaching city
election, President Adams in a spirit
ed talk said: mo work will be done
in 20 years II the opposition wins this
election
J. E. Moore said 1t was up to the
Lions club to take an active interest;
he believed that It was entirely too
quiet on the streets; in fact, he said it
was more quiet on the street corners
now that it is at a funeral. I'VE do
know that Cub Penley is very desir-
GUS of putting across the graveling
program; Mayor Penley has perhaps
been mistaken, yet do not hold the
mistakes against the mayor; l think
the mistake was made when the City
Attorney was appointed" declared
Mr.. Moore. He added that the city
council, was undoubtedly given a
''bum steer; that the city commission
er was not supposed to know all
these fine legal points, and that it was
up to every member Of the Lions club
to do what he could, since the gravel
ing program was their child"
Thurman Blackburn said he be-
lieved the boys band would be in
high state of perfection before the
graveling was completed; in fact, he
entertained the same hopes for the
girls band which is not yet organized
Others talked on behalf of taking up
Main street, as it was pointed out that
work on other streets would follow
1t was also averred that side streets
in Montrose and Grand Junction were
no better than ours, from personal OBJ
servations during the past few weeks.

brought his product to market, the
basket measure was honest enough
and he got a dollar bill for each
bushel He'd take his dollars home
and save them. Perhaps he planned
to buy some land next his own for a
thousand dollars, and figured that in
a year or so he could make it.
But meanwhile the politicians start
to manipulate the base Of the cur
rency. They would change 1t from the
gold standard to a fla t money plan
from a gold guarantee to the mere
say-so of the government that piece
of paper was worth a dollar. The
farmer wouldn't be watching the
money-politicians. He would be too
busy raising things. At the end of
the year he has his thousand dollars.
He takes them to the landowner and
says, "TI buy your land now-here's
a thousand dollars"
But the landowner would say, THAT
is paper money-my land is worth
one thousand dollars gold-the gov
ernment has printed so much paper
money folks havSn't much confidence
lk9l:9 y ! = =. : - . ~
chance II you will give me a dollar
and a quarter in paper money for
each gold dollars value Of my land
in other words. I'll give you my land
for $3.50 dollars paper"
Soft money would be only another
way for the money politicians to hand
the farmer the same dirty deal as the
basket manipulation. In the first case
the farmer unknowingly gave a bushel
and a quarter of his product, and in
the second case he would have to give
a dollar and a quarter Of his money,
for a dollars value in return.
In Germany they have carried the
manipulation of the mark so far
we'll, it seems hardly belieyable, but
II they did the same thing to the dol
lar, 1t would take over ten million in
paper money to buy that land. The
primary producer can raise his prices
but not fast enough to equalize this
drop in the gold value of una nd
money. That is where the G. h
comes in.
