WASHINGTON.-The center of population of the United States is now located 2.9 miles northeast of Linton, Indiana. The Census Bureau said today that it moved 22.3 miles west and 7.6 miles south during the ten years between 1920 and 1880.
 Linton, the nearest town to the ne wcener, is in Stockton township, Greene county, Indiana. The 1920 center was located 8.3 miles south east of Spencer, in Washington town ship, Owen county, Indiana.
 The total westward movement of the population center from 1790 to 1880 was 589 miles. It was located at the time of the first census 23 miles east of Baltimore, Md.
 The greatest westward movement was from 1850 to 1860, when it ad- vanced 80.6 miles. The slightest westward movement was between 1910 and 1920, when it advanced only 9.8 miles.

With them also came Al Mayo. after whom the now thriving camp of Mayo, on the upper Yukon, was named, and who has nu- merous descendants in the Territory, notably at, Rampant, his last home and burial place. Jack McKipp was also a member of the party, and about those noted sourdough names have been woven many northern ad- venture. and romance.

Rand Gold Production.
(New York Times )

In anniversary number of The Rand Daily Mail of Johannesburg of May 30 celebrating twenty one years of the Union of South Africa Hedley A. Chlvers asserts that the world will not presently face the prospect of a gold shortage, because pro ducton the Rand is greater than ever. At depths of 1000 feet there is" he says mo sign of an end to the great gold reefs" The agricultural and industrial slump has driven to the mines of the Witwatsrsrand natives and whites who would otherwise have remained on the land or with other employers" The working force is today 2070 900 natives and 22O0O whites. Since 1910 the Rand production has been f761 1,73l739 Total since gold was discovered in 1886, q 08000000O
 Recently there has been debate about the pros- pect of falling off of gold production and unequal distribution of existing stocks of gold One view has been that in the event of gradual exhaustion of the South African mines there would be too little gold unless discoveries were made. South Africa leads the world in producing gold The United States and Canada are far behind s. Palmer Harman estimated in January that the world stock of gold money $11,l75 100000 Mir Chilvers de- clares that "the Rand should continue to add lib- erally to the gold stocks of the world for very many decades to come" He admits that the en- gneers have had to go deep in some mines, and that ventilation and snoring overhead rock are ex- pensive. He reports that the reef at great depth shows a tendency to- flatten out like the inward curve of a bowl, "so that eventually miners may not have to go deeper, but will be mining along in a direction parallel with the ground" Formerly drilling machinery was cumbrous, The jack hammer drill has made "a vast difference in the economics of deep-level mining It is de- scribed 'the greatest mining development since Union7 One result has been "an enormous reduc- ton in the number of natives employed hand mining" Thus 60,000 natives released for the work of tramming, shoveling hoisting and pump ing. The industry is at it's peak, affirms MT Chilvers

Tariffs, War Debts and Gold.
Cincinnati EnauirerO )

When he writes books economic theory, Irving Fisher has no rival for complexity of phrase and baffling algebraic herogyphics but addressing the Southwest Foreign Trade Conference at Oklahoma City Wednesday he revealed extraordinary clarity and earnestneSs.
 Half of Dr. Fishers lengthy address is per suasive appeal for drastic reduction of our tariff Another section is equally convincing demand for reduction of war debts and reparations - not merely moratorium The remainder of the speech urges expansion of credit and stabilization of gold These are the paths to business recovery, he says
 Dr Fisher is an economic theorist, but his argu- ments enhanced by the fact which he pointed out that the brains of American business rapidly are swinging around to accept the principal con- tentions of economists the questions dealt with
 Most striking of Dr. Fishers arguments, and most relevant in the light of President Hoover's moratorium plan is his analysis of the need for war debt-reparations reduction The British debt to the United States he points out, was settled in 1923 at $46O00 100000, with definite schedule lof payments which Britain has maintained. Since then she has paid $1,017 360000 in interest and STA 100000 of principal.
 This reduces her dollar debt to $4,426, 100000, but since 1923 the dollar has appreciated in value to $144, so that Brtain's real debt now is about $l 773 440000 more than when it's total was fixed It is hard enough for nation to pay 31s per cent interest such colossal debt, but when the principal increases by more than 40 per cent. the
 injustice and the futility of insisting on full pay ment of the dollar debt is manifest Such is Fishers contention one single point In this light it be seen what small conces- sion actually has been made by the Administra- ton, and how much may have to be done on the war debt question: well as the tariff and gold stabzaton, before real groundwork is laid for wholesome business recovery worldwide scale

PRIVATE OWNERSHIP vs. PUBLIC.

One would hardly expect it of Scripps Howard newspaper but the New York World Telegram is opposing the proposed municipalization of New York street railways-the elevated and the subways It is opposing it because it declares that municipal operation would preclude the possibility of retaining five-cent fares which New York courts have held must remain in force for the remaining life of the contracts under which the railways are oper- ating.
 While the railway companies have tried to get the privilege of establishing seven-cent fare, they have declared that they will continue to operate They not able to convince the courts that the five cent fare confiscatory, and, apparently, they did not convince themselves
 The point of this comment is the admission of the New York public ownership newspaper that a private corporation can and will operate street railways fve-cent fare basis while the muni- cipality could not do Yet it is generally con- ceded that New York's City Government is very efficient in the management of public utilities-more so than those of most towns

AMERICA AND PROHIBITION.

We have heard of inability to see forest or account of the multitude and proximity of trees The idea applies very frequently to other things including problems that are discussed so much that the average mind is overwhelmed with words. Some times the man a distant mountain under stand forest better than who lives in it. and as often one who studied a political socia controversy from distance sees clearer than those in the midst of the fray.
 case in point is the succinct comment or the American Prohibition problem and the reason for it by Winston Churchill, famous British states MT. Churchill said
 The average Englishman, indignant at scandal or ill usage feels he can put the matter right. The average American feels quite sure that he cannot. Public opinion and the sensitive fexbility of Parliamentary institutions will very quickly sweep away England unpopular law. The American resigns himself to put up with it eyade it.
 Having slipped into Prohibition unawares, America is unable to escape from its deadly embrace. The law cannot be altered, it ap- pears. Therefore it must be broken eyaded, and broken eyaded it has been scale without example in the history of sslf-respecting communities.

FOREIGN TRAVEL STILL DECREASING.

It is estimated that travel to Europe will be from 40 to 50 per less this year than 1t was last year. This is regarded important factor in the business depression overseas, and it will cause a essening of American exports The demand for American products to supply Americans in Europe Is usually appreciable item in foreign trade. However, the domestic trade. ought to be increased by keeping money at home that otherwise would go to Europe
 Continued reduction in the volume of foreign travel is conclusive evidence that the hoped for recovery from the depression. far the country at large is concerned, has not yet begun. There is much evidence upon which to base the hope, how ever that the turn for the better is not far off.
