a high brow. Also he was a bit
of a prig. Rutherford took but little
Interest in society, in which his moth
er shone and his father basked. Ills
Interests centered upon science, nrt,
uplift work, exploration, literature—
he took them all In turn us a horse a
hurdle in a steeplechase—and got
over them as quickly.
“1 do wish, Rutherford,” said his
fond mamma, "that you would settle
down. Here you are twenty-five years
old and ever since you left college you
have been on a perpetual Intellectual
spree. Paul Clifford, who was gradu
ated at the same time you were, got
to hitting up the synthetic and they
sent him to a sanitarium where they
cured him. I wish there wa3 some in
stitution we could send you to nnd
have a cure effected of your particular
complaint.”
To Rutherford slang wns anathema.
He looked a solemn reproof at Mrs.
Allington which settled into a scowl
when the up-to-date lady carelessly
lighted a cigarette. “Mother," said he
solemnly, “do you think cigarettes are
good for you—at your age?"
j “At my age!” almost shouted Mrs.
Allington. “What do you mean? lam
not old—and as long as the beauty
parlors keep open I don’t intend to
be. Oh fudge! There, run along.”
That night she said to her husband,
Mr. Allington, whom she had nick
named Buddie, “Buddie, what can we
do with Rutherford? He gets on my
nerves. I wish he would marry—marry
a girl like Clara Hampton; she might
reform him."
a uium.tf, repucu Duuuit:,
“Clara would scare him to death.”
The Clara Hampton alluded to In
this little family dialogue was mod
ern—very. There wasn’t a daring
trick of this most daringly tricky age,
socially considered, that she was not
up to. Itutherford shied off from her
every time they happened to meet
socially.
Still he had to admit that she was
a handsome creature, perfect in her
health and exuberance of spirits. "If
she only had more brains," he sighed,
"if she would drop her aimless ways
and take a serious view of life—what
a wonder she would be!" And then he
would sit musing, picturing to himself
a Clara transformed into a girl such
as he would have her—one who would
he a proper and congenial partner for
a serious-minded man of brains—such
as he himself. Then the Idea struck
him that he might be able to reform
her.
With this highly commendable mis
sionary thought in his head Itutherford
began to go out more and more to
social functions, never missing one at
which he knew Clara was to be pres
ent. And so far from avoiding her,
as he had formerly done, he now
songht her out.
Clara surprised him by the extent
of her information on matters deep
and erudite of which he had supposed
her entirely ignorant. That pretty
head of hers was not empty after all.
And it was his influence, he felt with
a glow, that was bringing out all this
latent intellectuality. Here was a field
in which he saw that he was a pre
destined influence for good. And in
order that he might better exercise his
beneficient power he neglected no op
portunity of being beside her. Into
that maelstrom of society which he so
heartily detested he plunged with the
resolute spirit of a martyr—and hav
ing got there found, to his surprise,
that he rather enjoyed It.
It was Clara, now, who was always
dragging In the high-brow stuff and in
sisting on discussing It. Rutherford
even got slangy In his talk, dropped
his “gs" "after the manner of the
hunting set,” and found he could talk
society fiddle faddle with the best of
them. 11 is frivolous pnrents were in
ecstacies. Then one day he proposed
to Clara. It would be much easier to
reform her, he thought, if she were his
wife.
“Rutherford," replied Clara. “I will
marry you on one condition—that you
give up the frivolous and aimless life
which you have been leading for the
past six months.”
“Who—me?" gasped Rutherford.
“Yes.” replied Clara: "only vester
MONEY AND THE
PRICE LEVEL,
Radio address of Senator Bur
ton K. Wheeler, of Montana,
as reported in the Congression
al Record.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the
radio audience, there are those
who think that the internation
al debt question is the most im
portant question before the
people of this country. There
are those who think that taxat
ion is the most important quest
ion. There are those who be
| lieve that unemployment is still
more important, but what I am
going to discuss with you is
something far more funda
mental. International debts,
depreciated currencies, the
; price of wheat and cotton, un
| employment, taxation, balanc
ing the budget, are only spec
ial phases of the larger quest -
jion of money and credits as
| they affect ycur living condix
| ion and mine.
“T^ese other questions, such
as taxation, international debts,
bulk larger because they are
effects and not causes. It is al
ways easier to see effects than
causes. I propose to show you
tonight how this underlying
cause may be removed.
“The thing that is fundament
ally wrong with this country to
night is the relation ot our
medium of exchange or gold to
world commodities. We are all
saying to-night that the price
of wheat, cotton, copper, sil
ver, and the price of other com
modities are extremely low but
did you ever stop to think that
the world price of the basic
commodities is relatively about
the same as it was in 1926 and
1927? In other words, while
wheat, cotton, lumber and oth
! er commodities have fallen, if
you resorted to barter and
trade you could get about as
much wheat for cotton, as much
capper for this or that as you
did in 1926. What has hap
j pened is that our medium of
i exchange, the thing we call
money—dollars, gold—has ap
preciated in value instead of
————
day I heard you called an empty-heaa
ed, sporting, society sap. The man I
marry must have some serious purpose
in life. Now here Is my proposition.
We will be married and go off to Yuca
tan and explore the ruins of the
Mayan cities. You can make a name
for yourself as an authority on lost
Mayan civilization.”
i “It will be rather dull—won’t it—for
you?” faltered Rutherford.
“Not a bit.” she returned. “I am
fed up on this society stuff."
It was rather a wrench for Ruther
ford; but there was Clara, right be
fore him—and was she not worth any
sacrifice that you might mention?
“Splendid” said he with sudden con
viction; “prehistoric American arch
eology has long been one of my hob
bies. With his favorite hobby and the
girl of his heart, what more can a man
want in this world?" And then they
became Just like any other two lovers,
in society or out of society, high brow
or low brow.

You wouldn’t hear anything
about high taxes if lands and
pjoperty were bringing in the
same revenue that they were
:n 1926. I doubt that you
would hear the foreign nations
repudiating their indebtedness
if the world commodities were
bringing the same price that
they were when they made
their agreements. Nor would
you see the general liquidation
going on with its repudiation of
indebtedness if commodities
had not fallen to their present
low level. Nor would it be
necessary to cut wages or put
millions of people out of work
if purchasing power of the peo
ple of this country had not been
destroyed through the appreci
ation of our gold dollar, or
stated in another way, the low
ering of commodity prices.
You often hear it said, what
we want is sound money, mon
ey worth 100 cents on the dol
lar. How can there be any
other kind of dollar as long as
by law 100 cents constitute a
dollar in the same way 2 pints
constitute a quart. What do
people mean by sound money
or the honest dollar? Thei'e is
no such thing as sound money
or an honest dollar. What we
want is stable money, money
that has the same purchasing
power in 1926 as it has in 1932.
The thing we are suffering
trom tomgnt is the appreciation
in the value of our gold dollar.
Its purchasing power has in
creased enormously. It takes
three or four times as many
commodities to buy an ounce
of gold as it did in 1926. When
, one commodity by reason of
overproduction becomes cheap
er, then you have a right to say
that that particular article has
fluctuated in value but when
al 1 commodities in practical
unison go down together in
their gold value, then you must
admit that it is the gold that
has appreciated rather than
the commodities having depre
ciated.
“The United States today is
facing the most serious crisis
iince the Civil War. I think it
is a more serious situation than
that which confronted Lincoln.
It is a much more serious re
flection upon the intelligence
of those who guide our econom
ic destinies than was the Civil
j War. Our national income has
j decreased from eighty-five bil
lions in 1929 to fifty-four bil
lions in 1931.
“Twenty billions of this thir
ty-one billions of decrease in
national income was due to
lower prices. In the case of ag
liculture, the gross income of
the farms dropped from nearly
$12,000,000,000 in 1929 to $5,
000,000,000 in 1923, a de
crease of over 50 per cent and
all of this was due to falling
prices for the farmer’s com
modities. As a result of falling
prices merchants, manufactur
