Money, during 1931, became more of a controversial problem than at any qther time in American history, with the possible exception of the period immediately preceding the free silver campaign of William Jennings Bryan. The American dollar is composed nf 23.22 grains of pure gold. When an article falls in price, such change may be a reflection of a fall in its value in relation to other goods, or it may represent a rise in the value of the measuring stick—gold. When the average of prices of all commodities falls, this is a reflection of the increased relative value of gold. As one end of the sec-saw goes up, the other must come down. Legend tells that among certain primitive peoples the yard was equal to the girth of the king. The subjects of a corpulent sovereign would be dwarfs in terms of yards, but if ! he king died and w'as succeeded by his infant son, they would immediately become giants. It can readily be appreciated what happened when a. Taft was succeeded by a Wilson. Nations are now careful, however, to maintain a staple measure of length and weight. A fluctuating dollar, or measure of price ,is just as disastrous as a fluctuating pound, but its evils are not usually recognized. Bryan Rise Recalled The year 1931 has again brought into the limelight the universal measure of value—gold. The decade climaxed by the last year has several points of close resemblance to the period giving rise to William Jennings Bryan. Then, as now, the prices of commodities had been falling. Then, as now, there had been an increase in efficiency of labor in agriculture and industry and a real rise in wages, accompanied by severe unemployment. There was a pronounced combination movement in which weaker companies, unable to stand the competition imposed by the increasing use of machinery and decreasing costs, were swallowed up by larger concerns. Many railroads, as is the case today, were unable to earn interest on their bonds, there being 155 railroads in the hands of receivers in 1893. Then, as now, there had been a slowing up in the rate of gold production, coupled with an increased demand for gold by countries desirous of adopting or of resuming the gold standard. There was increased production of silver, •with a diminishing demand for it. Then, as now, nations were coping with the problem of falling price levels, which was bringing ruin to banks, railroads, insurance companies, farmers, industrial concerns and debtors generally. Depressed by Tariff Society is today feeding, clothing and transporting itself with increasing ease. Meanwhile international uncertainty and prohibitive tariffs have deprived industry of its anticipated outlets. An artificial stabilization .of the overexpanded industries was attempted, but efforts to conrtol the price and supply of wheat, cotton, copper, rubber and other industrial products ended in failure. The year 1931 marks the realization of the futility of such artificial devices. The price, of silver dropped in 1931 to the lowest point on record. Business is off about 30 per cent from the 1926 level. Debts contracted when the dollar was less valuable must be paid back in terms of a more valuable dollar. Debtors are becoming restive. Falling prices are a reflection of an increase in the value of the monetary unit of measure. But such fall in t the general price level is not necessarily the result of the rising value of the dollar. It is rather the result of increased efficiency in industry. History is replete with instances of feople making just, this type of error—confusing the measuring stick with the thing measured. One way to have a greater result is to get a smaller measure. In short, one way to bring about a rising price level is to increase the amount of money or purchasing power.

UNUSUAL CASE FILED AGAINST FEDERAL JUDGE Railroad Would Bar Further Proceedings Before Thomas Slick. By Times Special FT. WAYNE, Ind., Jan. 9.—Federal Jhdge Thomas W. Slick is a defendant in a unique suit filed in the United States circuit court of appeals in .Chicago, seeking to enjoin further proceedings by the federal court here in the damage suit of Harry Yoho against .the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. The suit against the judge was filed by the railroad which seeks a writ of prohibition. Yoho is seeking damages for injuries suffered while in the employ of the railroad, which is a Virginia corporation. The injuries were received in West Virginia. Recently counsel for the defense filed a motion with Judge Slick asking that the case be transferred to the federal courts of West Virginia or Virginia. The motion was overruled, Judge Slick holding that suits under the safety appliance and employers liability acts could be filed either in the federal district where an accident occurs, the one in which the plaintiff resides, or one in which the defendant is engaged in business. It is believed the action against Judge Slick is without precedent in federal courts, although resorted to rather frequently in state courts. MURDER TRIAL VENUECALLED Special Group of 100 in Case of Witt, Hamilton. By Times Special LEBANON, Ind., Jan. 9.—A special venire of 100 men for prospective jury service in the trial of Charles V.

OFFICIAL CLINGS TO COUNTY JOB Fountain Road Superintendent Refuses to Quit, By Times Special COVINGTON, Ind., Jan. 9. Charles Holland, Covington county road superintendent, is still on duty despite a demand for his resignation made by Charles Hallett and William T. Willett commissioners, who allege incompetency, neglect of duty and malfeasance. Holland is a Republican and the officials demanding his resignation are Democrats. Holland, serving his second term, has had a stormy career as an official. During his first term, an effort was made to remove him, but he won, although an ensuing factional fight almost disrupted the county Republican organization. Later a court of inquiry on conduct of highway affairs was held by James A. Neal, a justice of the peace. The inquiry was adjourned several weeks ago, presumably due to lack of funds. The county council refused to make an appropriation for the investigation, asserting such use of public money illegal. Debate to Be on Air By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 9.
