The American Government has
purchased 395, 100000 ounces of
silver since June, 1884, and has

tor Pittman CD OF Navada told

praising Presi dent Roosevelt's
action in increasing the Treasury
silver price to 71.12 cents an
ounce.
Senator Pittman said the
Treasury was buying approx
mately 100000 ounces OF newly
mined silver monthly.
Wheeler Bill Approved
A few minutes before Senator
Pittman spoke, the Senate Agri'
culture Committee favorably re
ported a bill by Senator Wheeler
CD of Montana, providing for
mandatory monthly purchases OF
5O,OOO,OOO ounces. The bill also
would compel the Treasury to
issue silver certificates against
the silver so purchased.
1t was intended as a farm re-
lief measure, with Senator
Wheeler insisting the expansion
of the currency would bring
higher farm prices.
Senator Pittman explained the
Treasury had $500, 900 ounces OF
silver on hand on June 10, 1884,
when the new silver purchasing
act was passed. On March a.
1895, he added, the Treasury had
395, OO0, 900 ounces of silver bullion
in it's vaults. .

900, 900 of silver dollars, halves,
quarters, and dimes in circulation,
while on March 20, the total was
1855, 100000.

President intends to carry out
the London silver agreement
and the silver act of 1884. AS a
result of his action, the world

below 40 cents an ounce until
it reached 64c an ounce yes

Preparing For the Next
DEPRESSION

THE recent observance of Life Insurance Week
has focused public attention on an industry
which has been of invaluable service to the nation
during depression; and which promises to be OF
still greater service in the future.
Life insurance has paid out hundreds OF MIL
lions of dollars in the past five years, through ma
tured policies, loans on policies and surrender
values. A very large percentage Of that money
has gone to people who had little else IN the way
of financial resource. It has prevented untold
untold misery and want. 1t has stood between
thousands Of people and utter despair and break
down Of morale. Thus, it has been as splendid and
as great a social as well as an economic influence.
1t is a noteworthy fact that life insurance sales
have been steadily increasing for the last year OF
two; even during periods when business was stag
nant or retrogressing. That can mean but one
thing; more Of the family budget Is today beng
devoted to life insurance in one or another OF Its
forms than in the past. 1t is being purchased by
the foresighted both as an investment and a pro
ection; and as an assurance that the next depres-
sion. il it comes, viii not find them without a safe
and secure financial rock on which to lean.

"HASTE," according to the Travellers Insurance
Comany, "causes nine out Of ten automobile ac-
cident deaths"
There are various forms Of hasty driving all of
them reprehensible, all generally unnecessary. Elk
ceeding the speed limit is the most common form
and is the most important single cause of
fatal accidents Reckless driving, such as cutting
Ill and out of traffic, passing on hills and curves,
etc. is another form. So is driving on the wrong
side of the road. So is usurping the right of way,
which is an especially prolific source Of accidents,
serious and minor, in towns and cities.
Last year haste in its many forms was the direct
cause of about 10000 deaths, to say nothing of
hundreds of thousands of injuries and property
damage running into the millions. At best, those
hasty drivers might have saved a few seconds or a
few minutes by being reckless; they might have
reached some distant objective half an hour sooner
than if they had driven carefully. What a price they
and their innocent victims paid for that potential
saving In time.
For every driver who is hasty because of a genu-
inc need to get somewhere In a hurry, a hundred
drivers are hasty for no unsound reason at all; be-
cause they are congenitally careless, irresponsible
or incompetent. How long are we going to permit
these drivers to sacrifice thousands of lives a year
on the altar of recklessnesS?

The Real Causes of Railroad

$751; ,O00,000; none of which has been returned to

On top of this, the government itself went into
the transport business in 1919, through the Inland
Waterways Corporation. This endeavor has con-

subsidized to the extent of $3.50 for each ton Of

The moral Of this incident is simple. In these

undemocratic that any government office holder be
granted any exemption from taxation not granted
to a private citizen who pays The wages or salary
OF the office holder. 1t is no harder for a public
servant to pay taxes out of his income, than 1t Is
for a private citizen to pay it out OF his own
earnings.

become nothing but a tax slave to dig up money

Sixty-fOur out of One-Hundred
Left Nothing

Even in normal times, SO percent Of the Ameri-
can people are poor investors. A survey made Of
10000 persons, before the current depression, shows
that only one out of one hundred accumulated as
much at 100000. Only one out Of eleven left an
estate which, if invested at the rate Of 6 per cent,
would produce an income of $50 a month or over,
and nearly two-thirds of the men studied, GA out of
each 100 left nothing.
This was in good times. In the words Of Henry
Behner of the New England Mutual Life Insurance
Company, What a similar study would reveal to-
day is unpleasant to contemplate"
More and more Of US are starting investment
programs In comparative youth, which will provide
at least a competence in the future.
Life insurance, trust funds and similar invest
ment plans, which place safeguards in the future
are growing and are more favored.

Aged Couple Seek
to Save Home With
Labor of 40 Years

Edenton, N. c., June @(ANP)-
One of those heart breaking, tragic
situations so common to the South,
has been brought to a head in the Su-
pericr court of this (Tyrrell) county
through a change of venue from Cho-
wan county, involving the effort of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles w. Hill, rs
year-old farm couple, to save their
480-acre farm, valued at $4,000. which
they purchased with the labor of
forty years.
By virtue Of the memorable work
ing out of one Of those paper trans
actions" with "white folks" the Hills
have lost their farm temporarily, and
are now seeking to recover it through
a civil suit.
Five years ago, Mr.. Hill purchased
$1,000 worth of fertilizer from the
Albermarle Fertilizer company. That
was just before the depression. The
Hills had trouble in paying the entire
debt, but did pay $500. They signed
notes for the balance, secured by a
$1,000 mortgage On the farm, to the
fertilizer company. When the far
mer failed to pay the balance of 81, 900
the notes were not extended. Instead,
the mortgage was foreclosed, and the
property was sold, in lieu Of the bal
ance of the debt, to the fertilizer COM
pany. The company in turn sold the
farm privately to one of its agents,
W. 5. Caravan who later secured a
loan Of $4,000 on the farm from the
Federal Land Bank of Columbia. S. C.
Thus the farm was taken from them
for an unpaid debt of $1,000, and it
now is clouded by an S 5000 mortgage
to the Federal Land bank. The Hills
have gone to court, prepared to pay
the $1,000 which they owed, and thus
recover, through an action to redeem.

Indians Before Miners

THE Mining and Contracting Review of Salt Lake
City recently published a cartoon exemplifying
the fact that the federal government has appro-
priated more than $17,OOO,OOO for carrying on the
work of its Indian bureau; while it has appropriat-
ed less than s., 200, 200 for the Bureau of Mines.
The Reviews sole comment it: "Why add words
to this?"
The welfare of the Indian is important; but it
would certainly seem that the welfare of mining,
one of the few basic industries, is at least equally
important. In these days of vast government spend
ing for any and all purposes, a bureau as valuable
as that of the mines should certainly receive a
reasonable budget

License taxes, paid by the actual users of the roads.
Thus commercial highway carriers have been pro-
vided with magnificent rights-of-way-at the ex-
pense of all the taxpayers.
The result of all this has been to deprive the
railroads of a vast amount of business that, under
equitable competitive conditions, they could have
held. They are the only carrier which pays its own
way in every particular. They are the only car
rier which is stringently and completely regulated.
And, for all the talk of their usefulness diminish
ing, they are the only carrier which can be counted
upon to haul, quickly, certainly and cheaply, the
great bulk of the nation freight.
The solution to the problem lies in extending
regulation so as to embrace all carriers, and in eli
minating subsidies. A bill to achieve the first is
pending in Congress and a bill to achieve the second
should follow on its heels.
