RUStf OFGOLD TO NEW YORK UNDER ' WAY IN EARNEST lly lUdcr Vlnget rfFW YORK T) The great gold rtK-e off"34 Is on. Speed and secrecy are the wntchwordH . . . millions are it( stake. . Plodding sourdoughs back in '4fl Wyre Just pikers with picks scratch Ihg for comparative pennies alter the big strike at- Sutter's mill. The modern gold race scene changes from sleepy burros to sleek tramatlantlc liners and airplanes. The modern prospectors use pens instead of picks. IV is simply a case of buying gold nt a low price in London or other ft reign centers and selling at a higher I: 'ce In New York. Just as simple as that . . . but the at w gold diggers must know their exchange rates better than the forty- niners knew their aluice boxes. Ilmr II 1m Ifcine Hero la the technique- of digging Wo, l?i from gold. A. D. 1934: A ba.iker want to buy 1.000.000 pounds sterling In gold. He sell his d"ll ir to buy pounds, perhaps pay ing $5,000,000 for the 1.000.000 pounds, depending on the exchange rate. Then he calls his gold broker In New York an gives bts order. The gold broker deduct 140 of 1 per cent as his fee and eab.es hts Lon don representative to buy gold at the market. , At 11:15 it. m. London time, six hours ahead of eastern standard time, the gold brokers meet- in London to set the price of goJd for he market opening. 'The order Unexecuted at the best price for f.o.b. delivery at the ship's side In London. To transport the gold across the Atlantic to New York there la a charge of 25 cents to 1 per $1,000 in gold. Protecting the gold in ship ment Is Insurance costing from 45 cents to $1 70 per ftl.000 In gold. AdillllnnaJ K peine - There ia a Jam of shipping facili ties at the moment because there l only a limited space in which to store gold properly, and Insurance com panies will allow only a certain amount of gold on one ship. Rales have changed accordingly. When the gold gets to America there is a customs house brokers' fee of about $320 per $1,000,000 In j gold, and then the trucking company chargea 5 cents per $1,000 in gold as a transportation fee from the pier to New York to the government as say office on the tip of Manhattan Armed guards hold guns as the gold Is Jerked from armored trucks and rothed Into the assay office vaults. Tests are mode on the gold to de termine whether It comes up to speci fications, and the owner Is paid $35 an ounce, the legal price set by the president. But there is a deduction by the government of l of 1 per cent for handling, and other charges which vary with each shipment. Determining Profit n All prices quoted for tbe various services are subject to chaiiRc and Wo vary with the site ol the shlp Dirnt. Gold coining from tlie other end of tlie earth could be handled m the same manner in Seattle, Wash., the only other U. S. assay office, but most of the gold now being raced to America comes to New York. The secretary of the treasury pur C bases t he gold accord i tig to law. and from the assay offices it ts sent to whatever (Mint the treasury de sires. The trader In gold rieucta tlie cost of bringing it from London to New York and determines his proiit. u ually in fractions of one per cent He also must deduct interest lost in shipping. Yhe "tiold .Hint Many of the charges lor snipping change from time to time, and the price of gold In London and the for eign exchange ratio between the pound and the dollar change con stantly. Variation of the price around the "gold point" determines the direction In which the gold could be shipped for a profit. One "gold point" roughly figured by a New York banker was $34 83 which means gold could be purchased profitably In London no higher than that point for shipment to New York for sale at $.J5 an ounce. Ut the price should pass the low "gold point" and go to $35 17. it might be profit able to ship from New York to Lon don, an exact reversal of the process IIB.W OK NAVY C'OAfHfcii KEPT ANNAPOUS, Mdt i4 George Flndlayson.

He said the anti-trust laws "must continue In their major purpose or retaining competition and preventing monopoly." He demanded that "every corpora tion In the United States" give Its workers Ire choice to organize tliem selves and emphasized that "those two words 'free choice' mean Just what they say." Baying he knew industry with few exceptions would give wholehearted compliance, the president warned that in these exceptions "the govern ment itself must and will under tlie law move firmly and promptly to prevent failure." He contended that Industry must keep to "the lowest schedule of prices on which higher wages and increas ing employment can be maintained. ' For the future, he said, "the methods and details of . . . reorgan ization may and will change from year to year but . . . the reorganiza tion must be permanent for all the rest of our lives in that never again will we permit the social conditions which' allowed the vast sections or our population to exist In an un American way. which allowed a mal distribution of wealth and power;; So far, he said, "we have been tolerant of certain misunderstandings even when they resulted in evasions of the spirit If not the letter of the J iawy um . . . c intTO v tho time for taking stock for cor.i rooting manifest errors, for rooting J out demonstrated evils .... . We can not tolerate actions whichJ are clearly monopolistic, which wink ' have the souvenir nuttons aistnourea ot. .Mfip trri nraeti-. which fallfto the four comers of the United give to labor fret choice of their lepreeentatlves of which are other wise hostile to public Interest." The president congratulated Indus try on its understanding of the re covery program's problems. He described himself "a little amused and perhaps at times a little saddened" by writers and speakers who proclaim the administration hasJ committed the country to commun ism or fascism and dictatorship. His speech contained also one direct answer to criticism: "There are some people, of course. who do not think things through: for example, the man who com plained In one of yesterday morning's papers that criticism was held to be unpatriotic. Let me put the case so clearly ft .at even this type will understand. i; we admit thtt the government has a specific problem to solve and un dertakes to do It in a specific way. the critic Is unpatriotic who con- tints himself with loudly proclaiming that that way. that method Is no good; that it won't work; that It Is wrong to do this. This critic con tttbutes nothing he Is not contruc ttve; he is unpatriotic because he Mten.pts to destroy without even uggestmg a way to build up. j "On the other hand the critic is pntrlotlc whether he be a business man. a worker, a farmer or a politi cian If he says. I don't like the nieth- ods you sre using to solve the prob Uin. I believe it would be far better if we were to use the following alter- nate methods you are using to solve 1 the problem; 1 believe It would be fur . better it we were to use the following alternate method, and thereupon out- ' liuee for the benefit of his neighbor ana nis government a helpful pro posal." Tlven. he added, the "average Am etican is doing splendid service by coming bat:k at the captious crlttc and sitytng to him. 'Well old man. mu what do you suggest'?" 'One thing is wry certalu," he declared, "we arc not going back either to the old conditions or to the old methods." The president said that NRA and the entire new deal are fundament ally democratic, conceived for the ;re;.t'st good of the t-reateM number Mr Kove.t aald the great major ity of complaints ttshemolrd by NliA was not directed against the act or the codes -but at errors and ommls jon m what has been done under odes " In conclusion, the president told -if a telegram from Pnincts M Law. president of the American BAnkere ateMH-uiitc-n. which said the national banking structure whs "sound and liquid." There Is a definite call, said the nwrwge. "lor a most sympathetic attitude toward legitimate credit." Thereupon. Mr. Roosevelt departed from hla prepared tent to say: "If the banks come along, my friends. weU hae the three greet elements in American life working together, industry, agrk-ulture and banks, and then we can't stop " Tle president was vigorously ap plauded at this jxMnt, as he had been repeatedly.

March 5 Political observers at the state capitol were divided between three points of spec ulation on a possible Meier campaign for reelection as a result of the gov ernor's address delivered Saturday night. The address was the first of two which the executive Is delivering (showing the achievements of three years' administration. : Those who would have the governor jseek another term were cheered by the emphasis the executive placed ipon carrying out every pledge made In his campaign as well as additional accomplishments of the administra tion and his long discourse upon car rying out the late George W. Joseph platform. His numerous achieve menu were also a matter of grati fication to those who have stated the governor would seek a second term. Additional indications oi probable groundwork for a campaign were een in the discussion by tne gover nor of the Bonneville dam project. In which he ave much credit to Sen ator Charles L. McNary. but failed to mention Representative Charles H. Martin who likewise was active In that work, but who since has an nounced himself as Democratic can didate for governor. On the other hand those who have 'declared the governor would not again enter the gubernatorial-campaign and who might wish him to remain out of the race, were consoled by the executive's opening remarks and later In the address. The executive stated "the purpose of this address Its sole and only purpose Is to give you an accounting of my stewardship as gov ernor of the state of Oregon." First U. P. Button Is Sold To J: F.

If a mans taxable Income is $5,000 he pays a tax of 4 per cent on $4,000 and". of. a per cent on $1,000. Surtaxes are levied on net Incomes In excess qf $6,000. By Alexander It. ieorge WASHINGTON m The federal government: Is getting, down to the grim business of collecting taxe on a shrunken 1938 Income, with the prospect that collections this year will amount to less than the $720. 458.000' of last year which-were the smallest in 16 years. Because of Indications that taxable income, both personal and corporate, was lower during and after the bank crisis last spring than at any pre vious time during the depression, in ternal revenue experts expect Income tax receipts to be correspondingly ! smaller In number and lower In dol 1 lar total. Attention, Mi Taxpayer j Copies of forms for- filing income Jtax returns for 1 983 have been sent j to some 3.760.000 persons who filed returns for 1033. Failure to receive I a form, however, does not relieve a perron from his obligation to file jreturn and. pay tne Ilm lnslaIment of hla income tax on or before March Bvery Individual having a net Income for the taxable yean of $1,000 or "over, if single or if mar ried and not llviug with husband . or wife. Every Individual having a net income for taxable year of $2,500 or over. If married and living with husband or wife. Every Individual having a gross income for the taxable year of $5,000 or over, regardless of the amount of his net Income. iteturns Mandatory -Last year some 1,864,000 of the rer turns filed, were taxable and about 1.885,000 were non-taxable. Internal i . , , 'venue officials point out that re turns must be filed by those who fall within the three classes listed above regardless of the fact that the ex emption of $2500 allowed the head of a family, plus the credit of $400 for each dependent, may render the re turn non-taxable. - - The tax rates are the same as last year-4 per cent on tlie first $4,000 of net income in excess of personal ex- j emptlon. credit for dependents, etc..) and 3 per cent on the remainder of such excess amount. The sur-tax I rates apply to net Incomes In esxe&s j of $6,000. ! While a 10 per cent deduction for; earned income has been proposed in ' congress, no. earned income credit is allowed by the current revenue i act and therefore it cannot be taken j for 1933. Net Income Is gross lucerne less the deductions allowed under the law, such as business and professional expenses, taxes, loss es. Interest paid, bad dehts, con- , tri buttons, etc. Officials point out that depositors in closed ' banks cannot deduct the amount , of their "frozen deposits.' unless ; or until the bank has been liqul- , dated and; their actual losses fully determined.' By reason of new1 congressional levies, the $300 exemption from- the tax on dividends or interest, from domestic building and loan associa tions which was previously provided, does cot apply this year on 1933 in come from those sources. The federal excise tax on electric energy furnished before September 1, 1033, Is deductible by the person paying for the energy, but on and after that date it ceases to be de ductible as a tax. The federal tax on checks is deductible by the maker or drawer of the check. The tax on telephone conversations, radio mess ages, telegrams and cables is deduct ible. MRS. HANSEN NOW AT HOME Mrs. H.

Science has taken an interest in the home of late years, and has done much to lighten the burdens of household tasks. Science has harnessed electricity to make it perform a sort of "Aladdin magic." It works for us, twenty four hours a day and its pay is low considering the labors it accomplishes. It furnishes light and heat. It sweeps the carpets and polishes the floors. It runs the sewing machine and washes the dishes. It toasts the bread and percolates the morning cup of coffee. It beats the eggs; it stirs the dough and bakes the bread; and last, but not least, it furnishes the power for the radio to entertain day and night. You learn of these,- and many other time and labor saving devices through the advertisements. They keep you informed of new thngs and give you dependable facts on. which to base a purchase. These are good reasons for believing a product is "better because it's advertised."
