Local relief officers in the state
must comply. Last checks to this
group were distributed Thursday
ana Friday Of last week. If the
checks We're not collected they were
cancelled.
The group includes many who
lack citizenship qualifications or

Many aged men and women, sick

will be cut off from relief. Filter
said. If possible they are referred
to the county welfare department.
If they are not eligible. there is
nothing for the SRA officials 10

Under the law. Filter said, the
SRA cannot spend funds provided
by the state for the unemployed IN

will be turned back TO welfare

The cut leaves the SRA relief
roll in this county at 325. Many
of this number, according to Fitzer'
will be absorbed by Works Prog

AS for general European negotia-

ended his single handed diplo-
matte policies and has embarked
on a program under which he
hopes to satisfy his aims by friend
ly cooperation with the world.
In contrast is the French atti-
tude, expressed in the view OF
the government that, if the Loc-
arno treaty is allowed to be torn
up, such an act would be a serious
blow to the League of Nations and
the whole system of collective Sc
curity.
British cabinet members in con-
sultation at London were increas-
ingly determined to exact conces-
sions from Hitler to appease
France. AS compromise on
Frances insistance on the with

the British envision a Franco

Germany not TO fortify the Rhine

committed acts of violence and
that they would not dismiss strike

CD The same tendency is shown In the cos
Of gold per ounce and correspondinRiy In ths

s6.9s Of the si4.s3 increase or only 48.4 per-
cent. remains with the mine
As q whole, this presents. for mines al

tendencies can be discerned. and dIscernec
the more clearly because Of extraordinary low

Lower grade ere can be mined but at an

than In 1882, and in deprecated dollars at

Is this the handwriting on the wan and.
II so. what is the Interpretation thereof?
Is IL not that Il behooves the gold miners
to make hay while he sun shines? The price
of gold win probably not be increased very
much more in our lifetime. On the other
hand, unless all signs and portents fail.
costs win increase gradually and In time the
margin win get narrower
glance at the gold production Of the last
25 years is instructive (see table,. Prior to
1929. mounting costs with a fixed gold price
had discouraged production. AS Is always the
case in time Of depression, however, prices
dropped labor was more efficient and gold
production was somewhat stimulated before
the price increase. Then came the premium
on gold In the British Dominions, and they
began to increase their gold production
Gradually Russia is getting on her
feet, and her gold production is increasing
by leaps and bounds. Indeed, Russian sources
predict $500, ,000. 600 as the gold output for
1886 AS is usual with Russian predictions,
this is obviously q gross overstatement, but
we have learned not to scoff too loudly at
what "RusskyT says he is going to do.
Finally, In 1885 the worlds gold produc-
ton for the first time In history has exceed
ed a billion dollars In value. and there is
every prospect that in the next few years
It will exceed even this total
For Montana, substantially the same thing
Is true. The value Of the 1885 production is
the greatest in the history Of the state since
1887. In 1856 Montana produced $4,000 600
Ia gold-a figure hardly likely to be reached
unless gold rises far beyond its present price.
IN every county in western Montana the
gold fever is epidemic, and the infection
IS spreading to other parts Of the state Every

That there Is plenty Of room for honest
difference Of opinion in regard to the action
OF the United States in going of gold' Is
evidenced BY the fervor and obvious sincerity
with which Herbert Hoover ia his 1882 cam
paign recited the herculean effort he had
made to keep the United States from desert
ing the gold standard.
In o sense. Mr.. Hoover was right, for as
AGr. Enowden said in his address to the Brit
fish Parliament, as Chancellor Of the Ex-
ehequer on Sept. n, 1881, 'The crisis which
we have striven TO prevent broke in our face
and there was no alternative but to suspend
the gold standard" or as Stephen Leacock
put it, Great Britain did not decide 10 go
off the gold standard. A man sliding down
the roof Of a barn does not decide to
fan off"
But this is neither the time nor the place
20 discuss a matter so debatable as adherence
60 the gold standard except TO indicate that
the gold miners interest in the subject is
only one phase of the question. Nevertheless
in 1891 and 1892 the gold miners Of the United
States were being penalized by our remaining
on the gold standard while In the British Do
