Force Has Been Doubled
Thirty-five New Men Complete
Training and Begin New
Duties on Road

Thirty-five new State Highway
Patrolmen will get their first ex-
perience on duty this week. And it
will be active duty too, for they
will get on the job just before
Decoration day and many Of them
will be on the job twelve or fifteen
hours both Saturday and Sunday,
1rying to direct the heavy traffic
which always goes with a double
holiday
The new patrolmen have been in
school" since early in March.
shortly after the Legislature pass
the bill increasing the personnel Of
the patrol from thirty-five to
seventy men, They were selected
from more than 1,400 applicants
and have been put through an in
tensive course of training. After
two weeks of manual labor, to put
them in physical and test their
stamina they have been given
courses in observation, traffic
rules, first aid, auto mechanics
headlight testing, geography of
Minnesota, English grammar, box
ing, wrestling. jiu-jitsu, target
practice, and motorcycle operation.
The training course will be

force. They will be distributed in
all parts of the state. They will be
in uniform at all times, and there
will be no arrests from ambush.
They will have no fixed stations"
but will move from place to place

highways will be covered frequentf
ly. i
The aim of the patrol, according
to Earle rBown, chief patrol of
ficer, is to Keep traffic moving.

Stand Pat For R=nest Money
 tFrom Mining Truth

Silver goes up a few cents. and immediately propa- ganda starts to the effect that after all there is nothing wrong and that the white metal will eventually seek it's true price level as a commod- ity.
 But there are many things radically Wrong-there is no reason why a mere fractional recovery should appease the robbed millions-and until sill yer Is considered as a money and not as commodity the world will remain in danger of an explosion which may wipe out Western civilization.
 Silver's rightful value is 51.72H per ounce. Every cent less than that represents rob bery of those who possess silver, for the benefit of those who possess gold.
 Twenty billion dollars, one Wall Street authority says, is tied up in unsold goods, the so- called "over-production." Yet these goods are needed by people who lack the money to pay for them. They lack this money because the single gold standard has destroyed the purchasing power of more than half the human race, and is rapidly destroying that of the remaining half.
 The worlds problem is not merely a silver problem, but a money problem. Until a stable international currency is restored, there is no hope or chance for permanent world wide prosperity.
 And until all the world is permanently prosperous, civ ilization is in danger.

Better Times Ahead

With commodity prices at bargain levels and great re- serves of savings piled up by bank depositors throughout the country, it will not be long before they will begin to with draw at least part of these funds for purchases they can no longer postpone.
 The situation was cited this week by Silas H. Altorfer, maker of A. B. C. washers and other electrical home utilities, as a reason for his conviction that general business recuper- ation is getting under way. He also said:
 "The program this country went through in 1921 will be re-enacted. We cal expect un- employment to wane as pur- chasing power waXes. ProGuc- tion and distribution also will gain"
 An unusual and striking in dication of the way the wind is blowing is the formation in New Yory of four short-term fixed investment trusts in which shareholders plan to benefit from gains in stock values, rather than from stock yields. Evidently these finan- ciers are convinced that the downward trend has ended and that their securities now are ready for a steady climb.
