Truman's Gold
 Price Declaration Will Hurt Mining

mining ventures.
 It also will mean that many lit tie communities built up around western gold mines will retreat further into the wilderness.
 Many were hard hit during the war when the government listed gold mines as non-eSSential, cut ting off their supplies of materials and manpoWer.
 It was hoped the workers would turn to some other types of mining but Senator McCarran D.-NeVO said they did not do so. He was ar guing for a bill to permit owners of the closed mines to get a court decision as to whether they were entitled to damages from the fed eral government.
 The price of gold was raised from S2067 a fine ounce to $35 in 1884. Since that time, the South Dakota legislature found, wages have more than duobled and the cost of materials necessary to the industry has increased TO per cent.
 Rep. Sanborn O.-Idaho) told Congress recently that the price should be S56 a fine ounce, to equalize the values of foreign cur rencieS.
 MT. Truman made his statement on gold at a news conference.
 The President was not asked specifically and he offered no comment to indicate whether he would approve free market for gold.
 There have been reports of gold sales abroad at $70 a nounce.
 One argument against accepting that as true value is that the U. s. producer would undoubtedly have trouble getting the purchase money back home.
 The government now has the right to purchase all newly mined gold from domestic sources.
 Several bills were introduced in the present Congress to permit a free market. Senators McCarran and Johnson D.-Colo0, Reps. En- gle D.-Calif), Hale R.-MeO and Reed R.-N. YO all had bills for this purpose. They never came out of committee.
 Bureau of mines representatives testified at Senate hearing re- gently that, besides price increase, there are two means of stimulat- ing gold mining. These, they said, are decreased operating costs and improved technology.
 One other was implied: discov- cry of richer gold ore or of new sources of gold ore mixed with some other more marketable metal.
 Many of the copper, lead and zinc mines of the west were orig inally gold producers. Some of the better known are those at Butte, Mont, now producing copper, lead and zinc; at Occur d'Alene. Ida. and Leadville, Colo, now produc- ing lead, silver and zinc; and Bingham( Utah. now copper and lead. In fact, much of today's gold production comes from the smelt- CTS where ores from these mines are treated.

Lodge Cross Post
Is Commended

A transcript taken from the
American Legionnaire neWspap-
er reads as follows:
A newly organized post in
Montana is certainly making a
name for itself. Department
Commander Eugene F. Naegeie
recently received a letter from
E. S. Luce, superintendent of
the Custer Battlefield National
Cemetery near Hardin.
Luce complimented the Leg
ion members of the Lodge Grass
post No. 116, Whiteman Runs
Him, for their participation in
prompt and efficient work in
recent burials.
Luce continued: "This group
are most certainly entitled to
state recognition for their I'M
selfish work."
He commented upon the good
organization of the post and
observed &c. the firing squad
and color guard were drilled to
100 per cent efficiency. In the
six volleys they fired, they
were perfect. Not ragged or
strung out, but all eight rifles
spoke as one. For a small post
they certainly deserve credit"
The Montana Legionnaire
proudly commends the Lodge
Grass post. Perhaps some of
the larger posts could gain some
inspiration from the excellent
work of the new post.
The following persons took
part in the many burials in
which the Lodge Grass post
participated:
E. E. Phillips, Jr., Robert
Kennedy, Ben Jefferson, George
Cooley, William Smith, Ralph
Knight, Robert Blair, Robert
Liz, Charles Wright, Jack Con-
ner, Jiggs Wiley, Robert Hand
ley, Lee Wise, Stewart Mason,
Bud Ball, Max Richards and
Norman Smith.

Background Of Roger
Babson Noted
Business Advisor

American business has no more
inspiring personality than Roger
W. Babson, Observation-Disclosures
business commentator and in
vestment adviser. An outstand-
ing feature of his philosophy has
been his lifelong insistence on
the Importance of religion in bu-
siness.
Born in 1875, reared in an old
fashioned atmosphere of hard
work and hustle on a farm in
Gloucester, Mr.. Babson went to
the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology. Upon graduating in
1898, he turned instinctively to
financial and business activities.
His exertionS, however, under
mined his health; he contracted
tuberculosis and he was sent west
"as good as dead" 1t was while
he was convalescing from this
dread malady that he worked out
some of the possibilities and prob
lens of business statistics.
That was more than forty-five
years ago. Today his weekly sta
tistical and financial reports are
read by thousands of business
men and his research work is
