India, two Of the worlds largest

Under the Presidential order,
the Government agrees to pur"
chase newly-mined domestic silver
at the rate Of 24,000,000 ounces
annually, until 1887, the greater
portion Of the American output.
The ratio Of Is to Is to be
maintained.
Planned by Pittman
Before the proclamation the
Government was paying $1.29 .
fine ounce of silver, a price which
virtually strangled the domestic
market.
In announcing ratification Of
the London silver pact, written
largely by Senator Key Pittman
(D.) Of Nevada, the President OBJ
served that "sixty-six govern
ments unanimously adopted the
silver resolution proposed by our
Government, providing in sub
stance that these governments
would refrain from the policy and
practice of melting and debaSing
silver coins and that they would
not enact legislation that would
depreciate the value Of silver in
the world market"
Others Due to Follow
The Presidents announcement,
Pittman said, will be followed
by similar action by Australia,
Canada, Mexico, and Peru, great
est silver producers Of the world.

dent said, "opens our mintS to

without ratification by the

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. "a
UN.S0.-William Anton, 19-
year-old CWA worker, was q
hero today after a rapid series
Of events which started when he
stepped on q skunk.
During the lunch hour Anton's
coworkers ordered him exiled
because Of the skunk, and the
youth sought out an isolated
spot at OlmSted Falls, where the
CWA troop was working.
He saw two children, Virginia
and Robert Stebbe, aged 6 and
4, carrying a lunch to their
father, Otto Stebbe, also a CWA
worker.
The children slipped off the
bank into the deep water Of
Rocky River. He dived in and,
with the aid Of u coworker
summoned by his cries, saved
the lives Of the children.
If Anton had not sought out
the isolated spot, the children
might have drowned unnoticed,

They were lodged in Jail to await

Wetherall was convinced his find

Fantastic sums have been Of

The "sea-serpent" made its first
appearance in Loeb Ness some
months ago. Numerous residents
along the shores Of the Loeb re-
ported seeing it, and nationwide
interest was aroused.
Descriptions Of the animal were
at wide variance, but in general it
appeared to be blackish-brown in

elongated neck, a thrashing tail
and o "granulated" rather than

BUYING SILVER

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec.
% GN.SO.-President Roose-
velt's plan to purchase silver at
641a cents an ounce was hailed
generally today as a stimulant to
all forms Of business and industry
in Utah.
The State leads the nation in
silver production with an annual
output ranging between 1000, 200
and $4,000, 900 ources.
Mining leaders said the pro-
gram would reopen many silver
mines in the State with resultant
heavy employment and increased
wages and dividends.
D. D. Muir, governor Of the
Utah chapter of the American
Mining Congress, said:
"Under the Presidents order,
primary silver mines now idle
in Utah will undoubtedly re-
sumo operations with cOnse-
quent unemployment of idle
miners. This is indeed a sweet

"EtGSu 1OE Ou1V0EB04 SoEVlCo
President RooSevelt's proclama-
ton ratifying the London agree
ment on silver and fixing the
price for newly-mined domestic
silver at 64.5 cents an ounce is q
further use Of the wide powers
granted by Congress with a view
to cheapening money and there
fore raising the price level.
This proclamation is the begin
ming Of q much-wider use Of silver
for monetary purposes. 7 ap-
prove Of all the steps the Presi-
dent Is taking but I am afraid
they are not sufficiently substan-
tial to bring about the results
hoped for.
Five Powers Given
The so-called initiation amend
ment gave the President five spe-
cific powers. They were:
1. To put money in circula"
ton through open market oper-
ations of the Federal Reserve
system. Under that power the
Administration has bought pos
sibly 5000, 900 900 Of bonds.
2. To issue $3,000,000, 900 in
Treasury notes to buy bonds.
That power has not been used.
3. To devalue the gold dol
lar in weight. The President
is in the process Of doing that.
He has the dollar devalued in
effect about IS per cent.
4. To accept silver from for.
eign nations in payment Of
their obligations. Under that
power he has received about
$11,OOO,O00 in silver.
S. Remonetizing silver at q
ratio fixed by himself. His
proclamation of yesterday comes
under that power.
To Have Little Effect
The President, it will be seen,
has used four of these five specific
powers granted him.
Based upon that outline, the
Presidents silver policy will be ap-
proved by all who favor cheaper
money, which means more money.
The policy as outlined Is very
limited, providing for the purchase
Of newly-mined silver Of only
about $4,000, 900 ounces a year. It
is a step in the right direction,
but will have little effect upon
commodity prices and practically
no effect upon bond prices.
My Interpretation is that the
President will use these various
powers only as necessary to reach
the objective sought, which is to
raise prices and to finance the
Government.
1T is necessary to raise commod-
ity prices in order that the people
may pay taxes and finance the
Government. If they cannot pay
taxes, these five powers offer a
way to finance the Government.
My forecast is that before the
money question is settled, we will
see the gold dollar devalued so per
cent.
