DR.. DORAN FIXTURE HERE
70 Years in Treasury
He Is Expected
To Continue

One of the perennial figures
around Washington for many
years has been DR.. James M.
Doran, chief of the Bureau of In
dustrial Alcohol.
Doran probably will be the man
to direct the regulation Of the
legitimate liquor traffic after the
Eighteenth Amendment has been
wiped out of the Constitution.
For 26 years Doran has been
connected with the Treasury De
partment. Graduating from the
University of Minnesota with a
B. S. degree, he worked for a time
in the laboratories of the North
ern Pacific railroad.
In 1907 he became a chemist
in the Internal Revenue Bureau
and soon was made chief chemist.
Later as commissioner of the Pro
hibition Bureau and in his pres
ent capacity Doran gained VIDE
experience in the field Of liquor
control.
Doran, although a vigorous,
fast-thinking official, has Keen
sense of humor and is extremely
affable to his friends. On one oc-
casfon he walked into the Treas
urE y press room, took a bottle
from his pocket, and offered a
reporter drink.
The reporter drank. He Sput-
tered and ran for water. Doran
said:
That's better stuff than
you're accustomed to. That's
our new nonpOiSOnOus dena-
tured alcohol"

Indian desired TO be decorated
Among other hunting tribes. skins ol
animals were the medium of ex-
change.
Among pastoral peoples, cattle and
sheep were generally recognized as
valuable, and were used in making
exchanges. In Africa, cubes of salt
have been used. Tea has been en-
ployed for the purpose in parts of
Asia. In Virginia, tobacco long served
as the standard of value. Other
commodities which have constituted
money. include rice. dates. coconuts,
cOwry shells and many metals.
The most common misconception
of money arises from a failure to
recognize that money did not origi-
nate with the government. 1t was
an article of such generally recog-
nized worth that it would be effec-
lively used for a medium of ex-
change. It's use as such developed
from the customs of individuals.
Money was and is a commodity
which clrculates by weight, as do
other commodities. 1t has value be-
cause of its intrinsic worth, not be-
cause of what a government may
call it. The very name Of coins can
be traced back to units of measure
ment, in the case of metals, units Of
weight. The shekel of the Hebrews
was a weight. The as of the Ro-
mans was originally an ingot OF
copper. supposed to weigh an as.
The livre of the French. the Span
ish peso, the English pound, the Ger
man mark, were all originally names
of weights.
If in their later years the none
tary units did not weigh az much as
origin of their names suggests. the
fault lies with the kings who debased
the coins below their original weights.

MONEY MERELY ONE

When a schoOlboy swaps his gal
luses and an apple for some choice
marbles or butts of cigarette he is
engaging in a trade practice which
goes back pretty far in history, Reu
ben d. Calm says. writing in the Chi
cago Tribune. Direct exchange of
commodities known as barter was
the means by which the earliest ex.
changes were effected.
But barter makes difficult tie di

and other folks other things The

farmer with stock Of feed. while In
need of footwear. may have still
greater need or desire for some ar
ticle other than shoes which he ex-
poets to procure in trade for his
horse feed. And there is also the
question of the relationship OF feed
to shoes: how much oats equals

Barter is waste of time in that
1t introduces the necessity not only
of finding an individual who has
what you want and wants what you
have, but one that you can strike a
bargain with.

amount of the article OF generally
recognized value. The shoemaker
could sell shoes to the weaver for
some of the medium of exchange and
at his own convenience he could use
his receipts to buy from the farmer

gin of money.
