the admission of Richard Ink

Pioneers’ Home at Sitka. Mr.
Inkster, who has resided in

A number of bottles of the
new 3.2 beer sent over from
Ketchikan by W. C. Blanton to
local friends a few days ago,
gave Hyder residents their first
opportunity to pass judgement
on the much discussed ■ brew.
Most of tho,-e who partook of
the beverage said it possessed
the old, familiar flavor but
seemed rather tame to one who
had been used to the high-pow
er brands dispensed by our
Canadian cousins across the
boundary line.

What Geld Repeal Means
Since the announcement by
radio that the Senate had
passed the bill eliminating,
gold payments, thereby going
formally off the gold standard,
there has been much local spec
ulation regarding the effects of
the enactment.
Insofar as could be ascer
tained the repeal of the gold
standard means that govern
ment bonds need no longer be
redeemed in gold and payment
of such obligations can be;
made in any form of legal ten
der. The same thing obtains
in the case of private debts,
such as mortgages, gold notes
and other contractual obligat
ions providing for payment in
gold. With the passage of the j
act these can be paid in legal j
tender, currency or silver, even j
though the contract calls for [
payment in gold. It also
permits the payment of our
foreign war debts in legal mon
ey.
The repeal of the gold clause
will have no effect on the price
of geld as a commodity nor
will it affect in any way the
gold content of the dollar.
