Forest Fire "a o..
Damage Lou V
For Arizona

PHOENIX, Oct. 2.-Although this
has proved bad" year in the fire
history of the forests of the ma
ton, there still is a chance that the
area burned over will be held be-
low the average for the last five
years, according to information
reaching the Tonto National forest
bureau here from Roy Headley, as
sistant forester, Washington, D. c.,
yesterday.
Arizona's national forests were
spared most of the fire hazard eS-
perienced in other forests due to
welcome rains which drenched
ranges and timber and aided state
cattlemen, local officials comment
ed.
Mr.. Headley says telegraphic re-
ports received by the Washington.
office of the forest service from re-,
gional offices showed that the area
burned over by fires inside bound
aries of all the national forests in
the United States and Alaska up to
September 10 was SCI, $50 acres.
Since the annual average area burn
ed in the preceding five years was
$4,000 acres, forest service officers
are still hoping that the area lost
this year will be kept under this
five-year average, in spite of the
extreme conditions encountered dur
ing the current season.

PHOENIX, Oct. 1.-THE value of
silver has been reduced through the
actions of several of the govern
ments, Sen. Carl Hayden told mem
bers of the Phoenix knights of the
Round Table yesterday. He was the
chief speaker at the weekly lunch
con meeting held III the Arizona
club.
In part, he said, the depression
has been due to the decline of silver
which in a year and a half mas cut
the purchasing power of more than
half of the world to less than one
half it's previous voita1ne Restore
the price of silver, he declared, and
our surplus crops of cotton and
wheat will move out of the nation.
In opening his talk, Senator Hay
den told of the senate committee
headed by Senator Borah to in
vestigate the decreases of our trade
with China. I'm $780," he said, 81
yer was worth ST 1-2 cents an ounce
and today it is valued at % cents an
ounce. Silver and gold have been
the money of most of the nations
for the past 80 centuries, until the
last so years. In this half century
we have gradually demonetized sill
yer.
1T is not overproduction that has
caused the decreased value of sill
yer but actions of several govern
ments First we sold to India, $780,
C00,000 in silver dollars which it
smelted to trade the silver for gold.
The purchase was allowed with the

HAYDEN CLAIMS SILVER
STERILIZATION WILL
RESTORE PROSPERITY

understanding that our government
would replace the sum with silver
purchased in this country. This
was done until Secretary Mellon
stopped the purchase ella ming that
it was not mandatory. That tended
to lower the price of silver.
"Then the British government in
1923 decided to put india on a gold
basis. 1t called in the silver money,
smelted it, and exchanged the sill
yer for gold. 1t put 150,000,000 oun-
ces of silver on the market which
broke the price so that when the
last silver was sold recently by In
dia, it required twice as much sill
yer for one ounce of gold as when
the plan was launched.
"The effect was that the purchas-
ing power of 8OO,OOO,OOO of the
worlds population has reduced one
half, since their whole monetary
system was based on silver. AS their
money decreased in value, purchas-
ing power dim shed in like ratio.
That is Why we have great surpluseS
of cotton and wheat, for the ma
tions whose purchasing power was
thus curtailed are those who use
lots of cotton and wheat.
THE worlds population is rough
ly 100000 people. The United
States and France have 170,000,000
people, or less than 10 per cent of
the total, but these two countries
have between two-thirds and three
quarters of the gold Of the world.
There is less than 20 cents per capi-

1881.

Most people in the country at large feel like say ing goodbye to 1881 without regret It is parting guest gladly speeded Everybody is saying that the end of the year is time for forgetting the things that are behind" But while turning a hopeful face to the future, we all should do today and tomorrow we cannot be unmindful of what the recent past has taught us
 Certainly the country has not been so dull scholar as not to have learned many things in the dear school" of experience. Fundamental truths in economics and some elementary principles in potce have been taught with such force With such vivid illustration from hard facts that they cannot be ignored in the future unless Americans guilty of the folly of breaking leg twice over the same stone No appraisal of the year closing now can be adequate without taking these things into the account In reality they contribute to a strengthening of confidence as face 1882 In the twelvemonth before us we surely shall be cautious about falling again into what we now see to have been the insensate and gigantic blunders of the past This certainly is among the guarantees of better times to come.
 In the past deeply disappointing year usually has been followed by one bright with promise. There is warrant therefore, for hearing in the bells which ring out the old year rising note which seems to say with the poet: We bid you hope"
 But as far as the Juneau region is concerned, and other gold bearing sections of Alaska, 1881 has been in many respects very fine year and one that gives vast hope for the future There has been more gold mining development in this section of Alaska than there has been for many years. There has not only been large development but prospects indicate that there will be larger development in 1892 and following years.
 Let us pay the tribute that is due in 1881, and look forward to the New Year with confidence.
