ROAD TRANSFER
 PROTESTS UNHEEDED

The House Committe on Terr. itories has decided to report favorably the bill to transfer the road construction activities of the Alaska Road Commiss- ion to the Interior Department, despite vigorous protests by the Alaska Chamber of Commerce and other organizations and in- dividuals, according to advices from Delegate Wickersham re- ceived in Juneau. As a result the proposed change will prob ably be effected. Some mem- bers of the committe are said to have favored the wiping out of all scheduled appropriat- ions for road work under the Commission.

Gardening Popular

Spring gardening is an unus- ually popular occupation this spring. Some say the unwont- ed interest is not due so much to desire for outdoor exercise and diversion as to the pros pect that prosperity will con- tinue to finger "just around the corner" for a while. At any rate, most of our more thrifty minded citizens are putting in a garden, in some instances on vacant lots, and some nice looking garden patches may be seen in the residence dist rict.

Senate Committe Favors
 Assessment Suspension Bill

The Senate Committee on Mines and Mining decided on May 16 by unanimous vote to favorably report the House Joint Resolution providing for the suspension of annual ass essment work on mining claims in the United States and Alas ka for the 1882 assessment year, according to advices from Washington.
 The resolution was passed by the House of Representatives on May II and is now awaiting final action by the Senate.
 Proponents of the measure feel that it will become a law before Congress adjourns, in which event annual labor in Alaska will be suspended for one year.
 However, unless action is taken quickly by the Senate, the suspension will not benefit those claim owners whose an- nual work must be completed by July 1.

es in view and the benefits anticipat- ed are very clearly and briefly set forth.
 The current production of silver for some time to come will almost certain ly not greatly exceed the production for 1881, shown in the following table, because about 75 per cent of the sil- yer comes out with copper, lead and zinc, in all of which metals unprece- dentedly low prices prevail and large accumulations of unsold stock exist. Hence, their production must be at a low level for quite while.

The Gold Standard Debacle

Declaring under the above caption that a commercial and financial cataclysm is ap- preaching so rapidly that it is probable that the United States will be forced to abandon the gold standard in the near fut- ure, h e Wallace Qdaho) Press-Times say:
 Further confirmation of the collapse of the single gold standard is afforded by the news that two more nations, Siam and Peru, have sue cumbed to the pressure of ne- cessity and abandoned the gold standard. This totals around 30 nations, great and small, which have been forced to this procedure.
 It is now quite probable that the United States will be forced to follow suit and aban- don the, gold standard in the near future. Discussions to this effect are now going on in official and political circles in Washington. The news is be- ing fed to the public in the form of denials that this will be done. Nevertheless, it is safe to anticipate that the country will be off the gold standard by January 1, 1883.
 The repercussion from this situation is markedly in favor of silver as a money metal. 1t is impossible for the United States and the balance of the commercial world to avoid postponing recognition of sil- yer much longer.
 Commercial and financial cataclysm is approaching so rapidly that even the most self ish, hide bound, and stupid people will be forced to accept the facts.
 The only question is upon what basis will silver be re- stored.
 The Plunder Bund will fight desperately for as low a ratio, and as limited recognition, as they can get. It is now the duty and the right of the advo- cates of bimetallism to stand solidly for the restoration of silver at the constitutional and statutory ratio of l6-to-l which experience has shown is a fair and reasonable one.
 The gold standard has failed dismally over an experience period of 60 years. The argu- ments of the gold standard ad- vocates have been entirely ov- erthrown by the logic of events The advocates of bimetallisn should refuse to longer be in timidated by them.
Hyder weekly herald., 1932-06-04

The principal countries inter- ested in the production of sil- yer are Mexico, the United States, Canada and Australia. All four countries are not only interested in silver, but all four are o w struggling with a shortage of currency (mean- ing money of all kinds for pur- poses of circulation). The United States has recently passed the Glass-Steagall bill on that account. This bill per mits an increase of currency to a considerable extent for lim- tied period of time.
 But the question remains as to whether an increased amount of currency to some extent is not permanently desirable.
 All four countries are also in- terested in the price of silver because of it's importance in trade with the Orient, Mexico and South America.
 To assist in solving such prob lems, a plan has been, or will be, presented to the legislative bodies of the four countries, which would (a) increase cur rency in circulation, and, (b) increase the price of silver. The plan, in brief, is that each country shall offer to buy it's own current mine production of silver (Silver mined in other countries or mined in the past being carefully excluded un- der the terms of the law) at market price, to the extent that it may be offered, within spec flied limits, by its own nation als to the government. The silver thus bought may be eith- or GD coined and issued. which would probably be done in Mexico; or CD coined in whole or in part, and silver cer- tificates issued against that coined, as would probably be done in the United States, Can ada, and possibly Australia.
 In accordance with this general plan, 1 Senator Pittman introduced in the Senate on February II, 1882, bill 1 (S. 3606). The bill proposes that the government buy so much of the silver produced currently in the United l States as may be rendered at the i market price, pay for it by the issu- ! 1nCe or SllNSG anu tHtlt l the silver so purchased shall be re 1 tained in the Treasury for coinage in i to standard silver dollars and subsid iary coins and as security for the ceT- tificates; that such silver certificates on presentation and demand shall be redeemable in such silver dollars or coins at the option of the holder; that the amount of the silver so purchas able shall not exceed 5,G00.G00 ounces per month; that the certificates shall be receivable for customs, taxes and all public dues, and be legal tender III payment of all debts except where otherwise stipulated in the contract and that the certificates when held by any national banking association oi Federal reserve bank may be counted as part of it's lawful reserve.

 SILVER SITUATION


 in world affairs is disclosed with increasing assurance in the late reports on that sub ject.
 A London report says that the Financial Times learns from Toronto that proposals will be put forward at the Ot- tawa Imperial Council for im- proving currency under which banks of the British empire would carry a minimum of 10 per cent of their metallic re- serves in silver and debased sill yer currencies would be called in and replaced by coinage of pre-war fineness.
 Senator Thomas of Idaho in- serted in the Congressional Record a dispatch to the New York Times from Paris saying the new French government will support the international bimetallic standard and quot ing Raymond Patenotre, who accompanied Laval to Wash ington, as saying they tried to win over President Hoover to this view and had tried to in- duce the president to call an international silver conference. Senator Wheeler, of Montana, announced that he would de- mand a vote before Congress adjourns on his bill for the free coinage of silver at the rate of 16 to l with gold.
 Senator Reed Shoot predict ed that the Senate Banking committee would report favor ably on the Pittman bill to have the government purchase the domestic silver production.
 Wheeler declared that some thing has got to be done to bring the commodity price lev ell back to the 1926 level.
 "Either we must adopt bimet- allism or go off the gold stand ard. It would be much safer to resort to bimetallism," he de- clared.
 An added factor in forcing the silver question to the front is revealed in an editorial in the London Financial News stating that ''the treasuries of the world are in the throes of one of the most serious prob lems they have ever had to deal with in connection with their currencies, owing to forgeries.
 The arts of printing and pho- tography have been perfected to such extent in recent years that forgeries of securities and notes have been developed on an international scale hitherto undreampt of. Partly in con- sequence of extensive forger. ies of notes of small denomi. nation last year, Germany has reverted to the issue of silver coins to considerable extent and in 1881 was the largest European buyer of silver fol coinage purposes, using 25, 000,000 ounces, and there have been substantial subsequen purchases.
