The reply to your wire was de

which are now secured, of a re&son

the Jewelers’ Vigilance Committee, j
against the proposed bill, which'
must be met by publicity -to inform
the people of ths country of the
merits, advantages and, ’odeed, of
the actual necessity for this legis

the country’s gold reserve. If the.
country is not informed of these
facts so that it will stand behind
the proposed legislation, there can
be no possibility of inducing Con-1

for funds to carry on the publicity \
and educational wor; is urgent, if ‘
the ‘reasonable probability is to •

Alaska chapter to subscribe liberally
to this fund.”
The news is particularly pleasing
to Mr. McDonald, who probably was
the first man in the United States j
to suggest the gold bonus as a:
means of safeguarding the nation’s j
gold reserve and reviving the min-;
ing industry. Mr. McDonald first!
advocated the bonus while a resi-!
dent of Fairbanks, several years j
ago, and later was instrumental in'
launching a campaign for the bonus
through the Nenana Commercial
club.
Manager James Cody, of the N.
C. store, has raised $50 in Nenana,
at the request of the Fairbanks
office, to help the bonus along.
