Bids for the purchase of high
way and bridge bonds tOtaIling
$685. 900 will be opened by the
county commissioners at the reg
ular meeting to be held tonight
at 8 O'Clock. Representatives Of
several bond buying concerns are
in the city and viii be at the
meeting to witness the opening
of proposals. OF the bonds which
have been offered for sale $175,-
900 are for bridges and $35O. 900
for highways. These are only q
part of the original bond issue of
$2,500,000 from which bonds 10
the amount of 100000 have
been already sold and the funds
used in construction up to the
present time. The county CON-
missioners only offer bonds for
sale as the need arises and in
this way save money to the tax
payers by not having to carry in
terest on bonds sold unnecesSar-
lily. The commissioners have a
contract and bond with a reSpOn-
sible concern to disDOse o. bonds
at an agreed on minimum price,
but if by advertising a better
price can be had. it is at the Op-
ton Of the county to do so.

situations were gold dollarS-100 cents
In the dollar. This huge fund for the
most part is the fruit of hard work,
all sorts of sacrifices and costly saw
ings on the part of the great masses
of poor people and people of mod
crate means.
Unfortunately the great masses OF
the people know but little about the
nature and philosophy of money.
Hence it If easy for politicians to
make almost any sort of radical
changes in money without mourning
the displeasure of those who are in
jured by the changes. Andrew jack
son in his farewell address makes
this observation.
When the government went off the
gold standard and announced that
the dollar had been changed in value
from 100 cents in the dollar to less
than go cents in the dollar. IL meant
that the administration had destroyed
over 40 per cent of this and other
trust funds. II meant that the family
of the man who had paid for a $1,000
insurance policy in gold dollars or
their equivalent. would get 5000 sixty
cent dollars or $4,000.
But this Is not all: the value of the
dollar now has no material founda-
ton whatsoever. 1t is in the power
of the administration practically to
destroy the whole of this great trust
fund by reducing again and again the
value of the dollar. The paper money
in circulation during the Revolution
was similar in nature to the money
