: l l. V E R Some Pertinent Facts Relating
 To Bimetallism.
 By William A. Hesse.

The theory of bimetallism is not a fad. It was not an hallu- cination of William Jennings Bryan, nor was he by any means the father of the idea. There are many people who believe that bimetallism is sponsored by certain mining in- terests for the benefit of that indstry. Nothing could be far ther from the truth. Bimetall- ists agree that the restoration of silver as money would help the mining industry, yet that in itself is so insignificant, that it might we'll be neglected in the discussion of the subject.
 There are 800,00O,00O people of the world living outside of the United States who now use silver exclusively as money and who have always used silver exclusively as money, and who are unable to trade with us for the reason that their money as measured by gold is worthless.
 These people would like to buy our wheat, our cotton, our salmon and our manufactured articles but by reason of their depreciated currencies are un- able to do so.
 This is but half the story. Since their money compared with ours is depreciated it fol- lows that their production costs are approximately less, and here is the source of most of the world trouble today. Japan with her currency depreciated fifty per cent as compared with CUTS is able to send her prod ucts to our shores, pay the freight and the duty and still undersell the American pro- ducer. Other coutries are en- abled to do the same thing So that apart from their being able to undersell us in the world market they have now invaded our domestic market. This not only goes merrily on but increases as the gold dol lar appreciates, so that our gold instead of being an ad- vantage is now proving a

curse.
 Some people believe that be- cause we have silver coins we still recognize silver as money. A man recently said, "Can I not take a silver dollar to the store and get one hundred cents worth of goods for it?" Assuredly you can, but melt the dollar into bullion and see what you get for it. The Gov ernment stamp on the silver dollar is the pledge of the Gov ernment to honor it the same as any other money that bears that stamp. In the case of the silver dollar 80 cents represents the faith and credit of the Gov ernment and 20 cents the value of the bullion in the coin.
 This is not, however, so with gold coins,. Any gold coin, un- less it is abraded, is worth ex- actly its face value when melt ed into bullion. Each five, ten and twenty dollar gold piece has exactly five, ten and twen- ty dollars worth of pure gold respectively in it at the time it
 $ minted, the cost of minting and the cost of the alloy is borne by the Government and that is what is meant by free coinage.
 The records show that in 437 years the ratio of production of silver to gold was 14.14 to l and the records also show that while there have been variat- ions in the production of the metals from time to time, the monetary ratio fixed by law was not disturbed by the vari- ation in production. For ex- ample, from the year 1901 to 1850 the monetary ratio of sil- yer to gold remained at 15.7 to 1, notwithstanding the fact that during that period 28 ounces of silver were produced 10 one ounce of gold, while from 1851 to 1878 there were 5.7 ounces of silver produced to each ounce of gold and the monetary ratio of silver to gold stood at 15.5 to 1. In other words the variation in the mon- . etary ratio covering two peri ods of extreme variation in pro- duction was slightly less than two cents on the ounce of sil- yer.

4 AN$ w HEALTH PAYS DIVIDENDS: EASES STRAIN ON MIND.- What are the dividends of health? In the first place the healthy man possesses the following character irtics which gain for him peace of mind:
 l. He is strikingly unconscious of his body, which runs on well with out special attention.
 2. He Is free from disturbing varieties of self consciousness
 3. He Is easily absorbed in out side interests.
 4. He meets an outrage, an insult or misfOrtunes in matter-of manner and never sulks or broods.
 5. He manlfests a general joy in living.
 6. He carries burden of heavy work and responsibilities without complaint and with little fatigue.
 '. He develops a set of habits and adheres to them tenaciously.
 8. He seldom craves narcotics.
 9. He seldom craves any of the psychic escapes" such as dream life. seif-deception. cheap fiction and religious cancellations.
 Thus everything from a mans ability to digest raw onions up to his ability to accept disagreeable facts and to get along with dis agreeable persons depends largely on the precise kind of health he has," maintains Walter B. Pitkin. professor of Journalism. Columbia university, in Dividends of Health," an article published in Hygeia Health Magazine.

Restoration of the Pay Cut.

There are two distinct elements in
volved in the consideration Of re-
storing the fifteen per cent pay cut
or q part Of it, next January.
One of these represents reliance on
statistical calculations regarding the
cost of living. The cost Of living fig
ures for the United States, assembled
from average prices of certain COM
modities prevailing in a number OF rep
resentative cities of the country, were
used in arriving at the amount Of de-
crease in living costs since 1928, on
which the fifteen per cent reduction in
Federal salaries was based. The Presi-
dent. very wisely. has ordered a spe-
cial statistical study Of cost of living
figures for Washington, however, that
will come nearer representing the ex-
penses faced by the Government en-
ploye who lives here.
The cost of living in Washington is
higher than in many other cities of
the country. The Consumers Counsel
Of the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
,stration has begun the weekly COM
pilation Of food prices throughout the
country to help the consumer do his
marketing. In the last baAetin, con-
tanning these comparative prices, the
higher cost Of food in Washington Is
indicated and may be exemplifed as

Shall the States Go?

From the Boston Herald.
Shall this country be redivided into
few great States? Shall the present
State lines be abolished. and our 48
sovereign Commonwealth" be trans
formed into mere administrative depart
ment. as Napoleon did to the historic
kingdoms and dukedoms of France?
There is a surprising drive Of opinion
in this direction. The national sweep
of the N. r. A. and other measures of
the new deal has given it an impetus.
The bankruptcy of many of our cities
with the overlapping costs of govern
ment has pushed 1t along. The cross
country airplane records, the talk of
aluminium "Streamline" railroad trains,
busses and the general increase in ra-
pidity of transportation have oddly fur
thered it. We do not believe in it. N.
r. A. and the new deal program are
emergency measures. to which, to the
glory of the founders, the Constitution
is capable Of bending without breaking.
There undoubtedly should be consoli-
dation Of many county, city, town, town.
ship and district governments. but this
does not involve the abolition of States.
As for the argument that speed IN
transportation means the end of local
boundaries, we do not see 1t at all.
What though 1t may be possible to fly
from Massachusetts, to California in 10
hours? One still lives in Massachusetts,; 4;
one still wants law and government to
conform to Massachusetts, life and ira
dition; one does not want to give up
all the roots and backgrounds of life
simply because more people are travel

Commodity. washington, United States.

Some meats in Washington are
cheaper than the average for the coun
try. But on the whole the cost OF
And while the cost Of living here Is
rising as it is rising everywhere else.
the amount of increase is, after all, not
so important as the level of the cost Of
living in relation to salaries paid. This
last proposition, unfortunately, received
little, if any, consideration when the
pay cut was ordered. While it was
simple to show that the cost Of living
had decreased. no study was given as
to the ability of the average Govern
ment worker to support himself and his
dependents on the salary received, and
at the standard of living required for
the average Government employe. 1t
is to be assumed that this factor will
receive as much consideration from the
new study now under way as the
amount of increase in cost of living
since March.
But the other cement to be considered
has nothing to do with such statistical
computations This is the element OF
consistency. The Federal Government
has been widely criticized for following
a policy Of deflation as regards its own
costs while urging imitation of costs
everywhere else. If the theory applied
on many fronts through the N. r. A. Is
the correct theory, then it is as ap-
plicable to the Federal Government as
the Nations largest employer as to any
body else. The argument of reducing
salaries and wages to reduce costs pre-
vailed during the course Of the depres-
sion. The doctrine now is to stimulate
recovery by increasing the national in
come through distribution Of work and
higher pay.
Increasing cost Of living in equity
demands additional pay for the already
low-salaried, average employe. And
reason demands that Uncle Sam. as an
employer. must practice what he
breaches to everybody else.
