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

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

He called for greater protection of
small busmen, terming the code au;
thorny "the keeper of your small in!
dustrlnl brother."
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;;

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

the critic Is unpatriotic who con-

'One thing is wry certalu," he

banking structure whs "sound and

MEIER'S ADDRESS

Ity Clayton V. Iteriihanl
SALEM.. 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."

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

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

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

The federal excise tax on electric

Aladdin
THE OLD-ADAGE, "Man toils from sun to sun. but
woman's work is never done," is only partially true to
day. 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."
