Uncle Mids. May Yet
Regret The Golden Touch

Once there a king in Thrace called Midas He loved
gold not because of what would buy for the good he
could do with it, but for itself
Dionysius, spirit of spring and youth and gladness,
granted him WISH And Midas wished for the Golden Touch
the that would cause everything he touched to turn
to gold As Donysus vanished Midas sank into chair. 1t
turned at TO gold Eaptured he walked through his
halls turning every object to golden spendor Even in his
garden he walked down the turning each blooming bush
to gold.

flung herself into his He felt her sfen and in
second his dearly beloved little daughter only golden
statue.
At that point Midas began realize that there
thing wrong with the Golden Touch that some things are
better than gold.
He found that gold is in itself nothing Only its
of value
Unless something is done shortly, Uncle Midas may find
out the thing For the stocks of monetary gold IN the
United crossed the 100000 mark,
81 per cent of all the visible gold in the world.
Why this gold of value at all! Because people nave
always been willing to give useful things in exchange for IT.
And vet Uncle Midas Golden Touch continues to draw to
him all the gold in the world is possible that many coun-
tries having will Hereafter we do not want god
and will not take it..
Then Uncle Midas might wake up to a realization that
gold in itself is nothing Only in its use as medium OF
exchange is monetary gold valuable
We are creditor country. We not use this gold to
nay off debts settle trade balances which are IN
general already favorable to US.
What can do? We it to buy useful goods which

HEARING EAR DOG
PROTESTS PROPAGANDA"
FOR WEST END AIR FIELD

Editor. The Times: II strikes
me as unfair for few business
men to impose upon our city
light department to conduct a
straw ballot on an airport deal,
with little or no information on
the subject on the one hand,
and propaganda campaign
favorab BILE to the proposition on
the other. If our city fathers
are going in for straw ballot
ing, soon pressure groups will
be formed and acute embarrass-
ment will follow.
Why couldn't the gentlemen
sponsoring this deal tell the
people what this proposed air
field is going to cost the people
OF Pierce County? Aren't we
entitled to know how much
money the county was losing on
the one we gave away? This
information is certainly avail
able at the post office and
should have been included in the
ballot.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-03-29
PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

Another thing that puzzles
me is why we should spend a
million dollars for new air
port when 10 per cent Of the
amount or less would improve
our present field and make it
adequate for our needs.
Also. aren't we entitled to
know whether we may expect
the passenger planes. which are
getting larger and larger, rather
than smaller, TO make a stop
here. which is only 10 minutes
from the end of the line We
do know large planes were
skipping us before the govern
ment took over our municipal
field
Let's go slow on this matter
