District Attorney
Battles Drifts On
San Diego Road

To members of District Attor-
ney Elmer w. Heald'S staff the
highway between San Diego and Ell
Centro was of considerable interest
yesterday, for they wondered if "the
boss would be able to get back,
but to the district attorney the
highway was of even more inter-
est, for he was engaged in the task
of getting back.
Returning from San Diego, where
he had been summoned as a wit
ness in federal court, the district
attorney yesterday encountered
deep snow on the San Diego high
way, and was forced to use chains
on his car to make the trip.
Numerous automobiles, Heald
said, were laid up because they
were not equipped with chains.
Without this equipment it would
have been impossible to make the
drive.
Snow was deepest near Buck
mans Springs, and on up to the
summit, the district attorney said.
Automobiles numbering ID or IS
were stopped there, unable to go
farther because of the snow.

TWO SUITS ARE
0UTCROWTH OF
AUTO ACCIDENT

Damages aggregating S11 600 are
asked in two suits filed in superior
court yesterday afternoon against
Louis Eisen and others, one by j.
H. Hawley and Ray c. Williams of
the Hawley and Williams company,
and the other naming T. A. Will
liams as plaintiff.
An automobile accident last Oct
ober "a on the CaleXico highway
three miles south of Ell Centro, in
which T. A. Williams was injured
and a car belonging to Hawley and
Williams was damaged, form the
basis Of the suits.
Eisen was driving east on an in
terSecting road, according to the
complaints, when his car collided
with that driven by L. A. Williams,
who was employed by Hawley and
Ray c. Williams.
t. A. Williams suffered a bad
cut on his head, cuts and lacera-
tions on his left hand, a lacerated
and twisted left leg, an injured
chest and internal injuries, his
complaint said. He asked $4,000
damages, $500 for loss of employ
ment during the time he was con-
fined to his bed, and $l00 for med
ical expenses.
The company for which the driv-
er was working asked 5000 for dam
ages to the car and 5000 for loss
of its use during the time it was
in a garage.

Legion Campaign
For Members To
Close On Sunday

IF you served in the World war
you belong in the American Legion"
is the slogan adopted by Boyce
Aten Post, American Legion, which
is at present conducting a drive for
new members and reinstatement of
old members, according to Hugh T.
Osborne, post commander.
The department of California has
fixed the quota of the local post
at 200 members and every effort is
being made to obtain this number
by Sunday when the campaign will
be brought to a close.
On that day plane from depart
ment headquarters at San Fran
cisco will stop here to pick up the
membership cards from the local
post. These will be rushed to San
Francisco with membership cards
from all parts of the state.
An appeal to ex-service men, is
sued by Commander Osoorne, urg-
ing them to affiliate with Boyce
Aten Post, states:
Born out of blood shed in the
great battle for justice, freedom
and democracy, the American
Legion has more reason to exist
than perhaps any other fraternal
organization known. Our member
ship is pledged to assist first of all
the disabled veteran and to OBJ
tain for any veteran the assistance
proffered by a grateful people as
an expression of their appreciation
of patriotic service rendered.
Secondly to uphold and defend the
constitution of the United States of
America and thirdly to interest it
self in child welfare, not only for
the benefit of children of veterans
by all children handicapped by lack
of opportunity and proper environ
ment.'

also unfortunately, of our debts,
our taxes and commercial obliga-
tionS.
SuppoSing by some act of Provi-
dence the gold stored in the treas
ury was suddenly annihilated!
Would we be unable to feed ana
clothe and house our people? Or
suppose by the discovery of some
immense deposit of this metal, or
by legislative act, the dollar was
suddenly reduced in value by one
third (as has happened to the
British pound sterling) who would
lose, who would gain by the change
in value?
Wheat, cotton, corn, pork and
the many products of the farm
would Immediately be worth one
third more. Thus the farmers
debts, interest, taxes and the like
would be paid for with two-thirds
of the amount of his produce.
The wage earners dollar would
indeed have a lower purchasing
power, but unemployment would
de decreased, as has been the case
in Great Britain since they aban-
doned the gold standard. The
banker too would be relieved to
find his collateral on loans in
creased by one-third.
Advocates Silver
If then, the supply of gold has
not kept pace with commercial re-
quirementS, why should we not
again turn to silver? Silver, to-
day the money standard of the
greater portion of the worlds pop
ulation, has been since earliest civ
ilization a recognized medium of
exchange. Therefore let us at least
join in the proposed international
conference to discuss with other
nations this vitally important sub
ject. 1t is certain that the farm
er, the miner and the manufactur-
er can not continue indefinitely
producing at a loss. Should the
present low prices continue, it is
likely to result in general insolven-
cy for this generation.
Some action should be taken, and
that promptly! While I believe an
international agreement setting a
ration for the coinage of silver in
relation to gold would be the best
and final solution, yet as an exped-
lent that would go far to cure our
present ills-I suggest-that this
United States government proceed
to purchase sufficient silver to
coin-one billion silver dollars-to
be of new and attractive design,
and to be known as prosperity
dollars, these to be put into cir
culation partly as coin and partly
as legal tender certificates.
The following in my opinion
would result:
l. A rise in the price of silver.
2. The above would increase the
buying power of the greater part
of the worlds population, stimulat-
ing trade.
3. Further boarding of gold
would be discouraged, and present
boards would gradually return to
circulation.
The bright attractive coins would
themselves advertise and create a
feeling of optimism.
5. The government would make

luXuries that add to the zest and
enjoyment of living.
1t would also seem reasonable to
expect that producers and distribu-
tors using modern methods, should,
in the case of the individual, be
able to make a decent living and
meet their current obligations.
Where commercial firms are con-
cerned they should be able to
maintain an adequate scale of
wages and also pay reasonable div

should be prosperousl We should
be contentedl We are not! On
the contrary we are depressed; suf-
fering from anxiety; some even suf-
Imperial Valley press., 1932-02-18

fering want and hunger. We are
experiencing an abnormal number
of bank and commercial failures;
we have excessive unemployment,
and also a deficiency in national
revenues.
While there are many contribut-
ing causes which create both finan-
cial panics and price depressions,
there is usually one major cause.
Following the great war we had
period of adjustment with rising
prices and an apparent condition
of prosperity, which lasted for some
years. Work was plentiful, men
were busy creating, producing;
there was plenty for all, to eat,
to wear, to enjoy. What then has
happened to us and why has it
happened?
Purchase Power Compared
Let us consider the situation in
regard to commodities Wheat is
low in price compared with two or
three years ago, but it will pur-
chase practically as much cotton,
wool, coffee, lead, copper, crude
oil, and SO on down the list. 1t
will also go as far in the purchase
of industrial shares.
If on a chart we draw q series
of lines representing commodities
in relation to one another, or to be
more definite in relation to the
purchasing power of a hundred
bushels of wheat or a hundred
ounces of silver, we will find these
lines almost parallel.
Now let us draw another line
representing the purchasing power
of the dollar. We will find that
this particular line has been rapid
ly rising, SO that if we have not
started low enough on our chart,
the line may pass above and out
of the picture.
Upon what is our dollar based?
We answer proudly-Gold! Yet af-
ter all this is but one commodity
among many, and like others is
of man. Why, we ask, does this
one -gold-dominate all
others? Why if gold is scarce in
comparison with the needs of the
immensely of world commerce, do
we have to depend upon this one
autocratic article to measure the
values of all otherS-of everything
that has value?
1t is true that this particular
metal was for many years produced
in just about the right proportion.
Extensive new discoveries increas-
ing the supply as the business of
the world expanded. We were fac
ing somewhat similar conditions
to those now prevailing when Bryan
made \hiS famous Gross of Gold"
Grafton in 1896. The situation was
relieved however by extensive new
discoveries in South Africa, in Alas
ka and other places which brought
in additional gold in sufficient
amount to restore prices to salts
factory levels. At this time unfor-
tunately, there seems to be no in
dication that we are on the eve
of any major discovery that would
increase the worlds supply of this
overly precious metal.
Let us not sink into a slough of
commercial dependency while we
protrate ourselves upon the ground
in order to worship a golden calf
a man made idol. Gold is a val
liable, a beautiful, a rare metal,
but except for legislative enactment
which after all is merely the ex-
preston of the will of the people
at that particular time-there is no
inherent or basic reason why gold,
and gold only, must be the standard
on which to base the dollar, the
meaSure-unit of our wealth, and

Many Forest Fires Reported In
Maryland Last Week

Forest fires were reported in great
numbers all over Maryland last week,
according to a statement released by
the State department Of forestry.
More than fifty fires burned on Sat
urday, April %.
Fire conditions in Garrett and Ale
gany counties appeared particularly
threatening with several incendiary
fires. A fire on Meadow Mountain
near Thayerville damaged lands OF
F. F. Nicola, operated as a coopera-
tive game preserve.
Other small fires were numerous IN
the vicinity of Deep Creek Lake.
Charles county suffered the most
severe fire which spread over 600
acres of pine and hardwood forests.
Other large fires burned near Chase,
Baltimore county; Federal Hill, Hart
ford county; two in Wicomico county,;
and two in Frederick county.
Carelessness in burning brush and
grass continues to cause many serious
forest fires, F. w. Besley, state for

SAY MAPLE SYRUP SEASON
WAS FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL
1880 Gallons Are Inspected By
Extension WOrkers-1,232 Gal
Ions More Than In Past Year
Fl ASKED FOR INSPECTION

Maple sugar and maple syrup pro-
ducers of Garrett county had only a
mediocre season as far as production
goes, but the number of gallons of
syrup inspected under the direction
of the Extension Service increased
considerably, according to John H.
Carter, county agent.
Syrup this year was on a par with
that of last year, Mr.. Carter stated,
but there was less sugar in the water,
requiring about twice as much water
to make one gallon of syrup as was
needed in 1881.
A total of 1880 gallons of syrup
was inspected and labeled, which is
1882 gallons more than was inspected
last year. Of this number 165 gal
Ions were labeled Maryland Fancy;
1870 gallons, Maryland Prime; 1900
gallons, Maryland Standard, and 145
gallons, No. 3. Twenty-one producers
asked for the inspection.
The State inspectors were brought
to the county through the Extension
Service and the Garrett County Maple
Products Association, which is in its
third year Of operation. Members of
the association are marketing their
products under the trade name "Crest
o. the Alleghenies." The organiza-
ton was formed in December, 1929,
with the assistance of the Maryland
Department of Forestry and the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Ser
vice, and was formed for the purpose
of encouraging production of better
quality of products and aiding the
producers to find a better market.
Garrett county producers who took
advantage of the syrup inspection
this year included Mrs. Grace CHS
holm, holm, Amos D. Harvey, John Steyer,
o. C. Buckle, G. E. Bishoff, Jacob Dill
gard, Luther Nine, Silas c. Beachy,
Harry o. Miller, Guy Stanton, Edna
Wiley, C. C. Beachy, Mr.. Lee, Peter
Yost, John Horchler, Gilbert Green,
H. C. Yommer, T. J. Maust, Frank
Wildesen, Charles Zehner and Boyd
Steyer.
It is estimated that there are over
12O maple syrup producers in the
county, practically all of whom ex-
perienced season similar to those
who had the Federal-State inspection
of their products.

ANNUAL YARD-GARDEN
CONTEST BRINGS INTEREST
Over Two Hundred Entries Re-
ceived BY Oakland Civic Club

With more than two hundred en-
tries in the annual yard and garden
contest, every section of the city is
affected, according to members of the
Civic club. A few who were entered
the past two years are not continuing
their work, but many more new ones
have joined in the movement, and
have already planted trees, gardens,
shrubs, and have cleaned up their
grounds.
What is more noticeable this year
is that everyone seems to be cleaning
up his property, the Civic club presi-
dent stated. Next to this it seems
that more preparation is being made
for gardens than was the case last
year.
No chairman for the contest has
been appointed as yet by the Civic
club, and so far the preliminary work
has been done by committee in
charge. However, it is expected that
judges will start on their first inspec-
ton trip in the near future.
