START TOWARD
SILVER SOLUTION

Government treasures have
been principally responsible for
the depressed price of silver
during the past few years.
Some of the major silver
countries have either eliminated
new coinage of the metal alto
gether, or have reduced the
silver content of each unit of
money, In this way tremend-
Gus surpluses have been created
much of which has been thrown
into the open market. Mined
silver has been forced to COM
pete with these surpluses, and
the constant oversupply has
made hope of price recovery all
but futile.
The silver agreement signed
at London should do away with
this kind of competition. The
silver holding countries, of
which India and Spain are the
most important, have agreed
to rigidly limit sales. The sill
yer producing countries, Mex
leo, the United States, Peru,
Canada and Australia, have
agreed to withdraw 35,000,000
ounces a year from the market
for four years.
So the silver plan is essen
TALLY the same as the U. S.
Governments present cotton
plan, to balance production and
consumption. Price strengthen
ing is inevitable if disagreement
is kept. How far such strength
ening will go is still a question,
but there has been good start
made toward solving one Of the
most perplexing and difficult of
international problems.

NO LOAN DEDUCTIONS
FROM WHEAT PAYMENTS

Adjustment payment checks
for those growers who qualify
under the wheat production con
troll program will be made di.
rectly, payable to the wheat
farmers, and no deductions will
be required to offset govern
mental loan Indebtedness. ac-
cording to officials of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Admins
tration.
This decision will make an
estimated difference of millions
of dollars in the cash payments
which will be made available to
wheat growers this year. Un-
der the terms of the wheat con-
tracts, growers who agree 10 CO.
operate in the government a.
program of acreage reduc ii on
will receive cash payments of
20 cents a bushel this fall and
between 6 and 10 cents late next
spring on their individual wheat
allotments. less the cost of local
administration of the plan. De-
ductions of sums owed the gov
ernment on loans would have
reduced greatly the amount of
cash to be made Immediately a.
vailable.
The Farm Credit Administra-
tion is asking wheat far mers to
apply as much of the proceeds
from the adjustment payments
as they can to their debts to the
government, but there is moth
ing compulsory about it.
There is a legal distinction
regarding government indebted
ness in the case OF wheat adjust
ment payments as compared
with similar payments in the
cotton reduction program. The
cotton payment checks will be
made payable jointly to the
grower and to the Farm Credit
Administration, with some of
the government debt claims
subject to negotiation were pri-
vate interests are involved. In
the case of cotton, part of the
loan security is destroyed when
growers pillow under part of the
crop. The security is not de-
stroyed under the wheat plan.

COTTON CHECKS TO BE
SENT OUT VERY SOON

Majority of payments will not
be subject to required Govern
ment loan deductions.
Recent decision on the method
of distributing payments where
government liens are involved
has cleared the way for imme-
date payments to cotton grow
ers who have qualified under
the acreage reduction contracts,
according to G. A. Cobb, chief
of the cotton production section
of the Agricultural Adjustment
administration.
The certificates of perform
ance are evidence that the grow
er has complied with his con-
tract and has plowed up the
cotton he agreed to eliminate
from production.
That the large majority of all
payments to growers under the
cotton contracts will be made
without delay or required nego-
tiation with regard to govern
ment loans is indicated in the
announcement of policy made
by the Farm Credit admins
tration. Total payments on
the cotton contracts wi Ii run
above 100,000,000 dollars. Es-
Inmates place the government
loans involved at about 10000,
900 dollars. Approximately
three-fourths of this total, or
0,OO0, 900 dollars, is represent
ed in the class Of debts"---over
which a Government lending
agency has exclusive control
and where the interest of any
third party is not affected.
An agreement has been reach
ed that in such cases the farm
er will not be required to return
to the Government any part of
the cotton payments on ac-
count of Government dept.
This class of debts includes seed
and crop production loans and
such loans of the Regional Agri-
cultural Credit Corporations as
do not bear ENDORSEMENTS by
third parties and have not been
rediscounted by Federal Inter
Credit Banks. The farmer will
be expected in such cases to
liquidate a fair proportion of
his debt if his circumstances
are such that he can according
to the Farm Credit Admins
tration, but he will not be COM
PEELED to no so.

HOME OWNERS RAPIDLY
RELIEVED OF MORTGAGES

Phoenix, Aug. - Manager Roy
Wayland of the Federal Home
Owners Loan Cooperation is
kept doubly busy with the ex-
ecutive duties of his organiza-
tion and with the making of ex.
planatory addresses before the
various civic and commercial
organizations throughout the
state.
So great is the flood of ap-
plications for loans that Way
land may have to keep his office
closed during forenoons to en-
able the clerical force to catch
up with the work connected
with applications already on
file.
Already the applications re-
ceived ask for over $1,650,000.
Wayland has stated that he ex-
poets that 100000 or more
will be laid out in this state by
this organization.
Wayland announces that
these eight Arizona banks have
announced their intention to
buy loan bonds. First Nation
al Bank of Arizona, Phoenix;
Consolidated National Bank of
Tucson, First National Bank of
Nogales; First National Bank,
Winslow; The Valley & Trust
Company, Phoenix Bank of
Bisbee; Bank of Arizona, Pret-
colt; Bank of Douglas.
Cash payments for certain
necessary repairs, additions al
terations and maintenance
charges will be approved by his
corporation, Whyland said. For
instance, if one or more new
bed rooms are needed for an in.
creasing family of children, the
cost price will be allowed. If
the house needs a new roof, or
a new porch, or a new founda-
ton, the cost price Of such al
terations may be included in
the loan. Thus the unemploy-
ment situation will be improv-
ed.
The home loan organization,
Wayland added, will benefit al
government agencies, by the
direct payment to them of de-
linquent taxes, assessments and
paying liens against the homes
on which money is loaned.

Supine Submission

1t was the year before we
entered the Great War. A
notorious song heard at that
time began, Il Didn't Raise My
Boy to Be a Soldier" And
then, as now, an organization
of pacifists was circulating in
our colleges and universities
what came to be known a year
later as "the slacker's OATH"
pledging any signer to refuse to
enlist in the Army or Navy.
Facing the young men Of
Technology, who were even then
training with the flag that they
might be prepared against the
day of battle to do what many
of them did a year or two later
defend it with their lives
Senator Lodge said:
"In the early days when our
Independence was won, in the
AdCCE udJO "ACH OuE OAllOII was
saved, such a pledge would have
been described by the ugly
word treason That anyone
should now think such a pledge
possible is an evil sign. A
people who will not make ready
to defend their own peace, their
own security, and their own
honor, are well on the way to
helpless, or hopeless war, or
supine submission. The people
who are not ready, if the need
come, to give their lives for
their country will soon have no
country

Day is above all a lay of re-

Human Side of the News
Scotty From Death Valley
BIZ EdWin C.. Hill

ber 81, 1899. A horrible train
wreck has taken place outside of
Chicago. Albert Johnson lies
trapped in the Wreckage, crazed
by the torture of broken back,
and his father dead nearby him.
They pulled the young man
from the mass of twisted and
molten iron. The doctors said
it would have been more merci-
full if he had perished; but he
had the will to live, and live he
did, to amass great wealth in
the insurance business. All the
while he craved health and
struggled for it much harder
than he did for millions.
Walter Scott came into his
life in the tow of a promoter
who wanted backing for Scotty's
gold quests in Death Valley.
The incongruity of the situa-
ton flashed upon the slim,
city-bred invalid. Here was a
man bursting with health who
sought only gold. Here was he
bursting with gold and seeking
only health.
He listened idly while Scotty
talked about gold, but he was
all attention when that sturdy
young adventurer told Of the
solitude of the desert, the iso-
lation, the dry climate, the pro-
tecting mountains. johnson
wanted not that gold, but that
quiet, athat solitude, that care
free life in the open. Death
Valley was the place. Scott
was the companion he would
need.
They made their bargain.
Scotty had his joke on the
world and his fling. johnson
had long stays in Death Valley
and, as his health was restored.
he built there, quietly and
gradually, a 100000 mansion
Sc miles from the railroad, with
swimming pool, pipe organ and
everything else in approved
Hollywood fashion-for Scotty
and himself and their families
to enjoy, and for the Indians
to cape at.

Strange Doctrine

In the 1856 years of the flags
life, the new constellation
which it represents has grown
from 13 to 48 States. But the
protection of which the flag is
the symbol is still the birthright
of every loyal American. And
the obligation which the flag
imposes on every American
citizen is a precious legacy
handed down from generation
to generation.
Now, as always, in the house
hold of the nation, Flag Day
will have no meaning for a
puny and pusillanimous minor
ity of men and women calling
themselves Americans. They are
willing to use the flag by &C.
cepting all that it symbolizes,
while renouncing any obligation
to serve the flag in peace or
to defend it in war.
This strange doctrine is not
the product of the existing de-
preston. It has been heard be-
fore and doubtless it will be
heard again. But now, as al
ways, it miSrepresents tn e
hearts and homes of the great
body of American people. 1t is
foreign to their nature, whether
they be Americans by accident
of birth or by intelligence of
choice. This wretched doctrine
is utterly repugnant to all that
true Americans hold dear.
The Washington times., 1933-06-13
Want to Buy

That mansion couldn't be
kept a secret forever. Johnson
is go now, spare and gray, with
a Photographic resemblance to
Henry Ford. Thirty-odd years
ago they said he would never
walk again. Today he can ride
a horse a full "a hours if occa-
sion demands. Scotty in his
middle fifties remains the
quaint, bluff figure of his
youth.
But according to report they
are tired" of squatting on the
land and they ask to buy 1920
acres at $1.25 on acre and to
set it inside for public use. In
recommending the taking over
of Death Valley, Secretary Will
bur told ex-PreSident Hoover
that it contains 500 species Of
plants not to be found else
where.
So Death Valley becomes just
another nook in this prosaic
old planet of ours, no longer a
place apart for two men who
have wrenched from life much
more than 1t sought to allot
them.

ONCE OVERS

things that might be said Of
a person.
There have been instances
in your own life, harmless in
themselves, which might have
ruined your reputation if they
had been repeated and en-
larged as is usually the case
in gossip.
You want others to be char
liable, but are you charitable
toward others?
Gossip and evil report often
injure the one who tells or re-
peats them more than the one
of whom they speak so un-
kindly.
Besides, the gossip leaves a
bad taste in the mouths of
those who hear and often
causes the gossiper to be
avoided.

The Gossip

The Gossip
Are you unfair in circulat-
ing evil reports about people?
Why are you so anxious to
pass on a story that defames
character?
You don't believe the story,
but you have heard it and so
repeat it.
The fact that you have men
toned it may give a false story
the semblance of truth and the
next one tells it for a fact,
adding something, possibly.
Many regulations have been
ruined by gossips like you.
Actions misinterpreted, no
foundation in fact, and told
by a scandal monger as fact
and something serious.
Unfavorable reports travel
much faster than the good
