DO-NOTHING-
IUr a progressive, but I have never done anything pro
gressive. 1 believe in good roads, but have never built ihem.
I think the eount y should improve, but I will stop all
improvements if elected.
.1 favor permanent highways, but V don't favor a bond
issue for them.
1 believe business methods should prevail in the court
house but I will do nothing to secure them other than in
my own office.
.1 believe in low taxes but depend upon direct taxa
tion to reduce indebtedness and build roads.
.1 believe in the count v's development but would wait
until the count v's indebtedness has been paid off by direct
taxation.
I believe in business methods but my idea of business
is to sit on the lid four veal's or longer until the county is
out of debt.
I believe in efficiency but my idea of efficiency is
economv.
SETTLERS WORTH $83
A
SACRAaIEXTO dispatch states that the Southern
Pacific companv has decided that northern California
must be thickly settled even if it is necessary to haul the
settlers free of charge. Td this end the company is plan
ning the greatest campaign of publicity for immigration
purposes it litis attempted in California.
Southern California has hereto lrad most of the rail
road's attention, but land values sire out of reach of the
average settler, so that they are to be brought to northern
California where land is cheap. Every settler, it is esti
mated, is worth $S3 per year to the railroad.
If settlers are worth $83 per in California they are
worth still more in southern Oregon, where freightrates
arc higher, so that one cannot help being amazed at the
short-sighted policy that withheld the Oregon railroad
grant lands from settlement. Think of the earnings and
dividends lost to the railroad by keeping so vast an area
undeveloped and unsettled!
If the railroad now finds it advantageous to haul colo
nists free in California to populate land owned by others,
how much more advantageous it would have been to secure
cash fares for hauling settlers willing to pay the railroad
cash for its own lauds in Oregon !
It is gratifying to note that the new management of the
Southern Pacific has awakened to the fact that there is
a northern California, which the old regime seemed ignor
ant of. Let us hope that some day the Oregon grant lands
will also- be on the market.
TAFT'S PROGRESSIVE POLICIES.
TAFT is described as a true progressive by the stand
pat papei"s, but somehow or other no one believes it.
Here is a brief record of some of his progressive meves:
Began his administration with an alliance with
Cannon and Aldrich.
Used his patronage power to re-elect Cannon as speak
er, with Tammany's aid.
Signed the Aldrich-Paync tariff bill revising the
tariff upward and commended it as the best tariff ever.
Prevented the adoption of an income tax bill and sub
stituted the corporation tax.
Fathered the railroad act of 1910 which if passed as
drafted would have destroyed railroad regulation.
Fathered the commerce court to suspend and nullify
decisions of the Interstate Commerce commission.
Vetoed all tariff bills passed at the extra session low
ering duties, claiming intelligent action impossible until
the tariff commission reported.
Negotiated iu secret a pact and forced it through con
gress, for Canadian reciprocity, without a thought of ask
ing the tariff commission.
Advocated government built and own lines between
this country and Panama, then changed his mind and aban
doned the policy, giving the railroads their fii-st great vic
tory. These acts are diametrically opposed to what Roosevelt
dominated "my policies" and show clearly enough that
Taf't has deserted and bet raved Roosevelt not Roosevelt,
Tuft.
Money and Finance
(Dy E. L. McClure.) i
Jlr. Ooorgo E. Jtoborte, director of!
tho mint, In his artlcla "Tho Next!
Uoforin Banking," published In )
March, Everybody's magazine, has
demonstrated by his own figures that
tlm "Aldrich plan" Is unsound. It
only approximate! financial security
and Is merely tentative until oxperl
onco may develop fcomothlng moro re
liable. How can any combination of dobt
ors Hustulu credit whou credit abso
lutely lasts on ability to pay, and It
Ik common knowledge that no bank
In the world can pay Its depositors
on doinnud.
Specie payment Is now sustained b
u rotwrve of ?1.'0, 000,000 iu tho
United Statos treasury, which J. P.
Morgan, or any other money Icing, Is
capable of withdrawing ut will if it
uhould bo to his advantage to do so.
Should tho reservo dlsapponr any
person having duties to pay would not
bo able to get gold from tho United
States tioufatiry. That fact would
cntiuo gold to disappear from olicula
tlon, and it would necessarily follow
that uppllcutlon would bo inudo to
J. P. Morgan for gold In exchango
for paper money. It he fixed tho'
r.tto or discount !J0 It would fix the
valuo of ten tents ou tUe dollar for

nil paper money in circulation.
The "Aldrich plan" transfers from
tho government' to tho National He
serve association the authority to Is
sue money and "this ustioclutlon Is
designed to be u public ugoucy to
supervise und support the bank cred
its of tho country, supply tho circu
lating medium, und maintain the
convertibility of that medium Into
gold. " All earnings above
5 per cent shall bo paid Into thto
government treasury."
"The ultimate capital of tbo National
Reserve association will be 20 per
cent of tho aggregate capital of tho
subscribing banks, and will cury as
new banks arc added or old ones drop
out. Tho stock Is nontransferable, so
that the holdings In this proportion
are fixed,"
Tho banks of tho United StutwJ
now owo depositors payablo on de
mand $20,000,000,000, while the to
tal circulation of gold coin In the
United Statos Is less than ? 1,500, 000,

assets of the bunks In one associa
tion does not decrease tho liabilities
to depositors, and ovory depositor
wants his bulauce In u punk, becuuso
he has use for It and tlint Is the rea
son he keeps money on deposit; nnd

any system that cannot meet nil do

peril of tho dlu"'irnnco t tho re
serve fund, which nlono sustains spo
ols payment, reniulns constantly pond
lug and unavoidable If tiny money
king should create! demands for gold
that would cnuKO the reserve to dis
appear. All economists point out tho defects
of money ns a measure of value,
showing that everv change In supply
and demand for money changes the
value of all other things In Inverse
ratio. Inflicting less on every ono on
the wrong side of exchange with
every fluctuation In tho vuluo of
money. The limitations of every
money system throughout civilization
have established the universally ac
cepted bellej; tlmt a fixed and un
changeable measure of value Is unat
tainable, because the law of supply
and demand readers It an utter Im
possibility according to all accepted
precedent and authority. Hut prece
dent and nuthoilty has condemned
every other natural law until common
knowledge compelled them to recog
nize the truth.
