The Great American Myth TT7HEN the banks of this country were all closed under the if. banking holiday this paper referred the the white no tices posted on their doors as signals of surrender to panic and hysteria, and reported the threatened or actual flight of capital "to more secure havens abroad." This drew the snarp criticism of the ;Orem City Enterprise, which cried ISkurto" upon us. and condemned the editorial as a confes sion of defeat. .We have awaited the time before making reply. The denoument of the drama i3 now being unfolded. We are entering the. "fifth act"; and the evidence indicates that our diagnosis was correct. For on top of the bank holiday we now have inflation and repudiation. Both are dishonest acts of government. Both are violations of sacred trusts and covenants. Both carry grave threats of ultimate disaster. " We have definite repudiation by the sovereign govern ment of the United States in the payment of its bonds. Their text says they are payable in gold coin of the present stan dard of value. But now the president and the treasury repu , diate such obligation and propose to pay in paper currency, a currency which is being permitted to drift to its own level, and in the space of a few weeks has dropped to a discount of over 20. The president of the United States glibly tried in a radio speech to justify the action on the ground that there is not enough gold to pay all these obligations. That portion of his speech is puerile; for the function of the gold standard has not been hand-to-hand change of gold coins, but the main tenance of a standard through maintenance of adequate re serves. The obligations payable in gold do not all fall due at once, and the same gold, passing from credit to credit, ex tinguishes the volumes of debt which have been erected up on its base. But if the president's contention is correct, that the gold standard cannot be maintained because there are too many -obligations payable in gold, that fact was just as true last fall as this spring. It was last fall when he repeated over and over again, the text of the democratic paitiorm: "a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards"; and when he characterized Pres. Hoover's reference to the danger of being forced off the gold standard as "a libel on the credit of the country"; and when he quoted Sen. Glass approvingly "that no responsible government would bar sold to the country securities payable la gold If It knew that the promise I yes; the covenant embodied In these securities was as dubious ' as tat) president ct the United States claims it was." i :Now the United States ranks with the defaulting nations of the world. It ranks with France which has refused to pay its debt instalment. It ranks with Russia, which country the United States with pious sanctimony refused to recognize because it repudiated the czarist debts. While this country is not defaulting in full it is defaulting in the terms of its bonds.' ' It does not rank with Great Britain which at heavy cost to itself paid in gold the instalment due December 15th on its debt to the united States. , The United States, possessing the largest supply of gold of .any nation in the world comes forward to take the "pau per's oath. The United States, champion gold hoarder of history, scorns the obligations of its own contracts; and clings to its cold hoard while it kicks out the gold standard. 1 A few years ago some one made a summary of the great . wealth of the United States, and reported how large a per centage this country had of the world's supplies of copper and iron and coal and petroleum, of railroads and telephones and automobiles and radios; how large a percentage it pro duced of the world s cotton and lead and copper and steel. : A few years ago the United States was patting itself on the back and strutting as the richest nation in the world, the chief creditor nation of the world, the country that otners must come to in order to borrow gold. We had visions of being the world's banker. . I - In how short a time is the myth of American financial superiority exploded. How quickly did New York as the world's financial center crumple up. Now the American dollar, long held forth as the world's standard value, is turned adrift, to kick around with the peso and the milreis and the yen. Our failure is due to the default of leadership, first the joyriding promoters of the gay twenties together with the stupid and stubborn republican leadership of the same de cade; and now the lack of Grover Cleveland courage on the part of the present chief executive.". No matter how inflation works, the fact that this coun try for the first time in our national history has repudiated its solemn obligations will stand forever as a strain upon our credit. , The United States is just another nation. : . Those who love their country and the honor of its name are forced to bow in humiliation over the financial downfall which has been permitted to take place. : Pay the State Employes npIIERE is no justification for the delay in the issuing of 4L pay warrants to several hundred state employes whose salaries nave been herd up while the state board of control twiddles its thumbs and studies politics. The law enforcing a salary reduction was passed at the legislature which closed about twd months aeo. . The aDDeal to the suDreme court to test the legality of the act should not have delayed the ad ministrative officers in Drerjarine to out it into effect if its wuaumuonauty was upneia, f ollowing the court decision weeks passed with nothing done.

If the governor is going to govern, let him get on the job. If not, get off the roost. The public too is getting tired of bickerinz between members of the state board.
