U. S. Debt of 22 Billions

Ashland
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.— About the best news th e American
taxpayer has received from the Federal Government recently was the
announcem ent of G errard B. W inston, A ssistant Secretary of the
Treasury, th a t in less than th irty years most of th e public debt of
the United States;—now running well over >22,000,000— would be
substantially retired.
W inston’s announcem ent takes on added significance when it is

There is an economic significance in the report from
the United States mint at Philadelphia that it will cast
29,795,000 nickel's during 12 months ending December ^31.
The government does not make the issue of its currency at
random. Like all commodities the supply of money is
governed by the demand. The issue of nickels in 1923
was increased because of an increasing demand for nick
els.
When the war came the five-cent piece lost its popu
larity as a useful piece of change. Before the war the
nickel was in constant commercial demand. It was prob
ably the most frequently in exchange of all coins. War
and war prices forced the five-cent pieoe into virtual ex
ile and obsolescence. Where before it had brought cigars,
candy, movie tickets, street car fares and answered count
less other ever}’ day uses it became during the war of
little value except in conjunction with other larger coins.
Remembering why the nickel lost its popularity dur
ing a high price period it is easily deduced that prices have
some relation with the return to popularity of the
nickel. The nickel is coming back because nickel prices
are coming back. Perhaps the pendulum in its backward
swing will not stop short of nickel cigars, nickel sodas,
nickel chocolate bars and such luxuries of the old days. No
more appropriate time than during the holiday season.

A novel presentation of an angle not usually consid
ered in refuting the arguments of those who want the
doors open to all immigrants because of sentimental pride
in America as “ the melting pot of the world,” was voiced
by Representative William N. Vaile (Colorado) in a speech
before the immigratoin conference dinner given by the
American Defense Society.
Mr. Vaile said in part:
“ The argument that we are ‘all immigrants or sons
of immigrants,’ is misleading because it ignores and di
rects attention away from the essential point, which is that
the American people represent a distinct European stock,
having a distinct language and distinct history, and that
they brought with them, not from Europe generally, but
from a small part of Europe, certain definite ideas of life
and government which they embodied in a Constitution
of their own and with which they have built the happiest
country and the most just and liberal Government in the
world.”
Too many people consider that because America has
opened her doors to all the old world, therefore America
must continue to do so. While America was in the forma
tive period, and men and women to till the soil, break the
trail, blaze the new path, and open new areas were more
important than laws or principles, it was desirable that we
have an open door to any and all who came. The country

H erbert Mundin who accom

even to London. Three years ago
he was an almost unknown play

London’s best revue artists

Jack Buchanan, probably the
best of the English dancing men,
leads the male portion of the cast.
Buchanan is a rem arkably agile
dancer and has a keen sense of

claim to being a great singer he
has a voice which is not unpleas

"D ancing Time,” which is now
playing in the United States, after
having had great success in Eng
land under th e name, "B attling

The feminine honors in the
revue wil rest between Beatrice
