Silver and Our Money.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

N~---~-~~~~
 Although announced suddenly and spectacularly the Governments decision to buy silver at $.645 an ounce is simply the application of the agreement made at London last spring, and does not involve any radical change of monetary policy.
 At London, under the urging of Senator Key Pittman the nations agreed to pursue harmonious policies calculated to raise and stabilize the world price of silver. Major holders of silver coin and bullion, including China, India and Spain under took to withhold their vast stocks from the world market, excepting small quantities. Major producing nations America, Mexico, Australia, Peru Canada undertook to absorb specified quantities of their own new production, totaling 35,0OO,O0o ounces nualy.
 The chief results to be expected are CD a great stimulus to domestic silver mining with consequent improvement in business throughout the Western States; (2) a considerable increase in the world price of silver, though perhaps not proportonate to the Governments figure; (3) increase of the purchasing power of the Orient Spain and Mexico due to the higher world value of their silver currencies reserves offset in part by the decrease of their exports for the reason (4) slight in- fationary trend in America because of the increase of money in circulation.
 Possibly the incidental political effects are more important than the economic effects noted above One of these would be the winning of the Western States to support of the Administration since the silver policy is largely dole to silver indus tries Another, which may account for action just at this time is the diplomatic value of sver-buying when Mexico has just been rebuffed at Montevideo on her proposal to restore bimetallsm Finally the new policy tends to ward off paper money imitation by giving Congressmen proof of the Adminis- tration's desire to supply cheap money" Of course, the immediate effect of the silver announcement is rapid rise of commodity and security prices. But the long-run effects are not
 likely to be spectacular. The purchase of silver up to 25,000,000 ounces year at premium of 20 cents over the recent market price does not in any way change our principal monetary policy. Neither does l it represent imitation in the that any Federal dole to large economic interests is infla- tion, if the money does not come from taxes.

ton made. The bill declares plainly in the title and in section two that it applies only to the game and fur-bearing animals over which the United
 States Department of Agriculture has administrative control.
 That fact cannot have escaped the notice of the Star since it admits it has had copies of both measures It likewise acknowledges that the fur-seals under control of the United States Bureau of Fisheries which is in the Department of Commerce and not Agriculture. Thus it is not crediting it with too much intelligence to say it knows that the transfer as proposed could not in any way affect the fur-seal fisheries.
 Objection is raised to transfer of the jurisdiction of the fisheries because it would hand over from the United States to the Territory of Alaska with out restriction, the principal single source of sea food supply in the world now retailing in all the States of the United States at $35,0OOO00 to S55- 00000O per year"
 When Washington Territory it controlled it's fisheries which not inconsiderable in value and extent. It also controlled it's game and fur and it's timber-lands~ It still does State. All of the other Territories of the United States, with the sole exception of Alaska did the same thing. All that is sought to be done is to apply here the principles of that proved wise and sound enough to create the greatest nation in the world. There is nothing novel about the matter nothing that has not been done time and time again until it has become tradition in American administration
 This is the third of series of editorials ap- bearing in the Star seeking to raise House of Morgan bugaboo So strained and far-fetched has been the effort that honest-minded, thinking read CTS cannot help but wonder why. The question raises itself, "Is the Star dragging red herring across the slimey trail of interest or individual seeking something for itself?"
 Of one thing there be hardly any doubt. This latest outbreak was nurtured in ignorance, conceived in malice, and inspired by desire to benefit either Alaskans their Government. It should fail of it's purpose through its own folly

Sanctity of Contract.
(The Times, London.0

At present, when deftult is stalking naked and unashamed throughout the world it is of the importance that debtors should at least acknow- edge their rghtful obligations. for it is only on this basis that the delicate though necessary task of adjusting debts to capacity for payment can be undertaken.
 Once debt is duly acknowledged, equitable measures necessary to redress accidental hardshps brought about by changes in the worlds price level safely be devised, but unless the sanctity of contracts is first upheld all contractual obligations must inevitably lose their meaning and that is a state of things no sane person would be willing to contemplate.

Russia Recognized.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

In agreeing with Commssar Litvinoff for the resumption of diplomatic relations, President Roose welt is recognizing an established fact.
 While trade possibilities have been nominally the ruling consideration, cannot help believing that in the Presidents mind at least another thought has been entertained
 This relates to Japan and the question of future Japanese American relations and what it would mean in possible emergency to have the Western Republic and the Soviet Republic together in friendship.
 All in all the agreement is a triumph of real ness

Sheriff jesse P. Lowery, of San
Luis Obispo county, today filed
suit for divorce against the peace

UTILITY FIRM
ACCUSED Of
'WR|TE-UPS'
BY MACK JOHNSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Plant
and investment write ups aggre-
eating s246.515,315 prior to 1880 in
Cities Service company, top organ
ization OF Henry L. Dougherty S
oil and utilities empire, were al
legged today before the federal
trade commission.
The write up aggregate later was
reported reduced to s70,020,529.
Robert Burns, Cities Service
counsel, denied the figures repre-
sented "write ups He charged
the commission calculated them
according to certain theoretical
formulas devised by itself"
1.-The company Burns said,
"denies that the great bulk of
them are write ups. Furthermore,
these claimed write ups are pyra-
mided and duplicated in the COM
mission s report from company to
company SO that the total arrived
at bears no relation whatever to the
investment account reported by the
company in its consolidated state
ments.''
Details of the claims were con-
tanned in trade commission eX-
aminer's report on affairs OF the
Cities Service company, from 1919
1890. The report was introduced
as evidence in the hearing Of Rob-
ert E. Healy, trade commission
chief counsel.
The report showed Cities Service
controls 160 companies in the fields
of gas and electric utilities, street
railways, water plants, petroleum
companies, realty and construction
trims representing $1,000, 900, 600
plant and investment value.
The investment value, the report
said. was s273 100000 December 81,
1880.
The trade commission contended
the write ups occurred through
mergers of 10 Cities Service con-
trolled companies into so.

DISTRICT POWER PLAN OUTLINED
IN STATEMENT MADE BY HEWES

Diesel generators will be connected
into the greater system as neces-
sary standby units. Further saw
ings will be made in the reduction
of capital outlay and early operat-
ing losses required for the devel-
opment of the canal power.
Experience gained prior to the
release of the greater canal power
will undoubtedly prove Of great
benefit to the district. The legal
rights and powers of the district
will be firmly established. thus a.
voiding expensive delays at time
when a far greater investment will
be involved.
Will Pay Canal Cost
In addition to the immediate re-
duction in rates to the consumers
and to the profits to be made by
the district. the preliminary power
service as planned is the most &C.
onomical and practical approach to
the successful development of the
canal power. Government and 9TH
er competent engineers estimate
that, properly administered, the
canal power will repay the entire
cost ef the canal project and ulti-
mately retire the districts bonded
indebtedness. Then both water
and power rates may be reduced to
a minimum.
When the canal power is ready
for distribution, every farm and
oa,,,,,,,,,;t,, IL, I,,na,io1 and Zoo
chella valleys may be supplied with
abundant cheap electric energy.
Electricity for power. heating,
lighting, cooling, cooking and 9TH
er purposes may be advantageously
used in many times the volume
that is economically feasible to-
day. Does this not suggest pic
ture of a new and happier social
and home life for the people of
Imperial Valley that will be in
keeping with the greater economic
prosperity and security to come
from the American canal and
district power service?
Your board of directors has ad-
opted this program. They are work
ing sincerely and persistently to
bring it to full and successful
realization. 1t would seem impos-
sible for any citizen, having the
welfare of Imperial Valley at heart,
to be opposed to such a program.
With the All-American canal about
to be built and with district owned
power about to become real
ity. surely this is one time when
it behooves the people of Imperial
Valley to stand solidly together.

STRIKE STILL

its, today threw Minnesotas largest
urban area into a state of medieval
siege.
Ranks of 5000 truck drivers who
struck a week ago for higher wages
and recognition of their union were
swelled throughout the night by
angry recruits from $4,000 building
I,tradesmen who walked out last
night.
A general strike of $4,000 men ap-
peared imminent.
The union building men struck in
sympathy after day in which 81
men were injured and rs arrested in
a battle of 500 teamsters with po-
lice. Rep. Francis H. Shoemaker,
Farmer -Laborite, coatless and
swinging a broomstick, was one of
the men arrested.
Fighting appeared certain if
scores of laden trucks lined up at
the city limits followed their an
nounced intention of attempting a
massed run through the picket
lines. Truck traffic has been almost
at a standstill for seven days.
The entire Minneapolis police
force, augmented by more than
1000 special police and 300 deputy
sheriffs mobilized to prevent a re-
curing of rioting. Gov. Floyd e.
Olson, unsuccessful in three days of
negotiation with strikers and en-
ployers, was reported seriously to be
considering a declaration of martial
law.
Alarmed housewives, who already
have felt the pinch of shrinking
supplies of fresh foodstuffs, crowded
into groceries to stock their pam
tries.
Meats, eggs, vegetables, fruits and
dairy products grew scarcer and
more expensive almost hourly. Pri-
ces rose with each report of increas-
ing effectiveness of the embargo.
Storekeepers pointed helplessly to
empty vegetable counters and urged
canned goods on their customers.
