$500 IN 1880
MONEY STILL
$500 IN Cash
Buying Power Decreased,
but Commodity Prices
Are Due to Climb.
BY JOHN r. BEAL
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-"What I
want to know" said a stranger en-
tering an office on Forty Second
street today, lis what's going TO
happen to the $500 I have in the
bank?"
An economist in the offices of the
committee for the nation said:
You have the advantage of us,
sir. We don't recall"
why, you've heard of me! I'm
the man in the street. I've got a
brother who is a milkman in Omaha
My uncle raises wheat in Mime
sofa, and my second cousin raises
cotton in Tennessee"
"Ah, yes" the economist replied.
Nov what brought this up?"
Buying Power Doubled
We'll, I see President Roosevelt
wants to make the dollar worth be-
tween so and so cents of its former
gold value. I'm not interested in
this $4,000 100000 equalization fund,
but I've got $500 in the bank and 1
want to know what's going to hap
pen to it,"
"a fair question. But first you
must tell us when you obtained this
$780,"
st saved it out of my earnings be-
fore 1880. I lost my steady job as a
garage mechanic then ana since
that time I've had enough in odd
jobs to pay my expenses without
saving or drawing on my savings"
Admirable. Now, sir, you prob
ably realize that your money was
only a measuring stick for the
amount of commodities you could
buy. While you were out of work
your measuring stick-the gold value
of your money-increaSed until this
year you could have bought ap-
proximately twice that amount of
commodities. Your money was
worth $1,000 in purchasing power
compared to its value when you put
it away.
No Less Than Before
eff President Roosevelt fixes the
gold value of the dollar at so per
cent of the former value, your $500
will be worth only $500 again in
purchasing power.
Nov you may say you don't like
the idea You'd like to hang onto
that additional $500. But at the
same time you agree you have no
less than you had beforehand how
about your uncle and your cousin?
In 1926 your uncle could raise
1000 bushels of wheat, pay his
debts with 500 bushels. and ex-
change the other 500 bushels for
clothes, a radio or a new car.
1t Looks Reasonable
Now while your $500 was in
creasing in purchasing power, your
uncle's wheat was bringing less and
less in dollars. Things finally came
to the point where your uncle got
only $500 for his l 1000 bushels of
wheat and he didn't have enough
money left to buy a pair of denim
overallS. And your second cousin
in Tennessee, in a similar situation,
couldn't buy food.
IF you we're to be convinced that
by restoring the former purchasing
power of the dollar your uncle could
again buy your second cousins cot
ton in the form of denim overalls,
and your cousin could buy bread
made from your uncle's wheat
maybe you would be willing to see
your $1,000 purchasing power re-
duced to $500 again"
I'm not saying, but it looks rea
sonable," said the man in the street
"I guess I'll just wait and see what
happens.

THE SAVING MAYOR
Progress With Economy

In their prediction statement published in The Empire last year, the Goldstein ticket. said:
 "We will cut the City's debt $1O.-
 100000 but not by taking it out of
 the workingmen."
 They cut the wages of the fire truck drivers and other city workers and gave them longer hours. That's Progress with Economy"
 They said: "We will save the $1O,OOOOO by careful business management"
 They purchased supplies in Seattle at higher prices than the same supplies could be manufactured in Juneau by local labor. That's Progress with Economy
 The Saving Mayor" was willing to bring up this material on one of his own boats; the scheme leaked out and a great howl went up that scared the Mayor from carry ing out the pan
 They said Gin the same statement) "We will give the City offices to the very best men Obtainable."
 The very best man Obtainable for street commissioner turned out to be MT. Gold stein.
 The Mayor and Councilmen split their uedOS ROlUS over all IHe In6H III lue OlLy trying to find the one best fitted for street commissioner; they couldn't find anybody as well qualified as Mr. Goldstein and finally decided that he was the "very best man obtainable' for that job.
 The Mayor pretends to act as Street Commissioner and draws $225.00 per month; the Assistant Street Commissioner draws another two hundred month and so the City pays $425.00 for superintendence of crew of some twelve or fifteen men; that's Progress with Economy"
 The Goldstein Council ends it's term eav- ing the City paying approximately ten thou sand dollars year in interest charges; the City owes more than $146000.00 bonded debt; how much more they have not cared to tell you to date.

Senator McAdoo, in Mexico City

Upton Sinclair will be elected

Radicalism in the Unit d
States, he said, "is much stronger
even than the radicaism that op'
ponents attribute to the NRA.'
He went on:
"There is, however, a vast
difference between radicaliSm
and Communism. Only a very
small fraction of the people
in the United States are Com
munistic. There's nothing to
worry about. Communism is
very far from anything that
Franklin Roosevelt or stand
for"
Declaring that "old formulate

McAdoo went on:

the United States is suitable
ground for experimentation.
That is the reason why PreSi-

Simple Methods
For Clearing OF
Windshield Ice
Bulletin Warns Against Use OF
Candles-Salt, Engine Heat
And Other Remedies

Warming against the use of candles
to melt ice or sleet from motor
vehicle windshields is contained in q
timely bulletin issued by the Keystone
Automobile Club of Maryland.
According to William S. Canning,
Engineering Director of the Club,
many accidents have occurred as re-
suit of this practice. Windshields have
burst, due to unequal expansion, and
in some instances flying glass has in
jured the eyes of motorists.
"Instead of Candles" said Mr.. Can
ming, 1--WE recommend the use of salt
for clearing windshields of cars not
equipped with high grade electric or
other heaters. A small bag containing
an ounce or two of salt may be attach
ed to the blade of the windshield WHIP
err. AS the wiper moves in it's arc the
salt water will keep the space clear.
another method found useful is to
place sticks or blocks or rubber under
the hood where it fits to the cowl, al
lowing small aperture for the escape
of engine heat, which will be blown by
the fan directly against the windshield
Applications of glycerine to the wind
shield also are found effective, al
though not lasting"
In cases OF burst or exploded"
windshields studied by the Club, it de-
veloped that the glass was of the tpye
which is built in layers, with cellu-
lose center layer designed to prevent
shattering in case of collision. This
cellulose material is a non-conductor
of heat, and in consequence the heat
of candies cannot penetrate readily to
the outside layer. Instead, it rapidly
expands the inside layers, causing
them to crack or burst.
