A RECORD IN ECONOMY
German marks today are worth less
than one ten-thousandth oi' their pre
war value. Russian rubles have a
value even less than the personal note
of an Alaskan editor, while the cur
rency of Poland. Austria and other
countries have tobogganed to hopeless
depths, and the money of Italy and
France is far below par. In view of
this deplorable state of European cur
rency, it is the more interesting that
the United States, which spent more
money during the war than any other
nation except Great Britain, not oul\
is on a sound money basis, but that
by the end of the fiscal year. June 30,
it will have a balance on the right side
of the ledged.
There is a reason for this remark
able condition of affairs. It is true
that our own country is the richest
in the world, and has the largest re
sources, but its post-war record of
converting a vast deficit into a sur
plus is chiefly due to the soundness
of fiscal policies. The president has
insisted on a program of rigid econo
my in all departments of the govern
ment and made recommendations to
congress with a view of cutting down
expenditures. Taxes have been reduc
ed and there is a prospect of further
reduction when congress convenes in
December. It is_a record of which the
American people can be proud.
A number of protests from small
boat owners have reached the Gate
way office in regard to the crowded
condition of the city float. A number
of visiting gas boat men stated Sat
urday it was practically impossible
for them to get to the float to load
supplies, as many vessels used it as a
permanent mooring place. The city
ordinance provides that boats can lay
at the wharf only a limited number of
hours, and that it must not be used as
a place to tie up permanently.
The newly graded streets look so
neat that property owners along oth
er streets are asking that the grass
be scraped off; especially those along
Third Avenue. Why not police up
the town in a thorough manner while
we are about it.
The unusually cold and wet spring
has retarded planting to a consider
able degree; according to ranch own
ers in this vicinity. The present de
pressing weather is not confined to
this section alone, but is general, all
over the territory and in many parts
of the States.
Upton Sinclair, socialist, novelist and
muck raker de luxe, who was recently
placed in jail in Los Angeles on a
charge of criminal syndicalism, can
get local color from another angle on
the iniquity of big business.
