A Free Gold Market.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Current proposals for establishment of a free gold market at New York City have much to recom- mend them The plan usually advanced is to create and by law provide for market in which gold producers may sell their output at any price they get and in which sales can be made abroad and in which the Government buy or sell gold at market rates The establishment of such a market would not need to interfere with the present policy of withholding gold coin and gold certificates from circulation.
 The principal advantages of such free gold market three In the first place. it would enable gold mining companies to sell their output, as a commodity at fair prices Under current restrictions they sell only to the American Government, and get only price-$20.67 fine ounce. In effect, this to handicap the gold-minng industry with reference to all other industries, since it's selling price is maintained artificially by law, and yet it costs are mounting steadily. Already Canada and South Africa have taken steps to permit sale of newly mined gold at market rates
 A second and important, consideration is that free gold market would provide to business and banking measure of the fluctuations in the value of the dollar and thereby measure of gold prices contrast with dollar prices To have such data continuously would be to throw considerable light on just what is happening in monetary and economic systems
 The third and probably the greatest advantage in the long run, is the possibility of the Govern ments entering the free gold market in transactions for it's own account to stabilize and regulate the value of the dollar in terms of gold. Presumably we may look forward to an indefinitely long period Of the gold standard in its traditional form. We are to have managed currency in fact, If not in name. One of the most effective methods of trolling the value of that managed currency would be through purchase and sale of gold in this open market, much the volume of bank credit is regu lated too effectively thus far) by market purchases of Government bonds.

BUREAUS ATTITUDE ALL THAT CAN
 BE ASKED.

The declaration of L. G. Wngard, Alaska Agent of the Bureau of Fisheries, that he will consider with an open mind" the matter of requests for extensions of the pink salmon fishing season in the several Southeast Alaska districts is all that can be asked by anyone-fisherman canneryman. Ger tainy neither of them should desire to extend the season if the runs are small To gain present advantage, alurng it might be, at the cost Of future could mean not one but several years of sharply curtailed takes and packs seriously af- fecting the fishermen and making canning opera tions unproftable.
 Commissioner Bell whom MT Wingard represents here has demonstrated repeatedly since he has been at the head of the Bureau of Fisheries in the past few months, that nc IS Tar-minded He not only has proclaimed his desire to take into consideration the human element in administering the Alaska fisheries, he has demonstrated that he is in earnest about it. The two extensions given to western Icy Strait and one to eastern Icy Strait are the latest evidences of that In both instances, the seine fishermen will be among the largest beneficiaries They selling their catches with out difficulty and getting higher prices than were obtainable at any time during the past two years The packers, too, will benefit materially. To date the plants drawing from the Icy Strait district for most of their fish well under their expected packs This, it is generally agreed, is due to the lateness of the principal runs Fish in abundance have been offshore for many days and the vanguard is just passing through Cross Sound and Icy Strait and entering the lower end of Chatham Strait and Frederick Sound. The peak of the run is not ex- pected to reach the eastern end of Icy Strait for some four five days. Under such conditions the Bureau of Fisheries entirely justified in the extensions granted.
 It is reassuring to know that MT. Wingard will remain in the field almost constantly for the re- mander of the season, and, if conditions justify, f1,a 0fha ictrint Every day added to the fishing period means added earnings for hundreds of fishermen, most of whom are bona fide Alaskans, native Indians depending almost solely for livelihood upon their earnings
