In short, ho commanded thnt the pig be closed.

Lhe disgust of the people in nearly every eonunnnitv """ " ivi-ni jsvstiMti in locat government, tlie agitation for a commission form instead of existing systems, tho grow nig (itseomem witn a government bv politicians, and for politicians, have given a wide field for tho "municipal expert1' who has never governed a eitv. to look- tn .!.-. . . .. " . . . ' ' boir-apparent trutlis, repeat business axioms and collect a big fee. San Francisco recently had one of these celebrated ex perts diagnose her case. His fee was $L"0 a dav while there, with expenses, including double salaries for steno graphers nnd other assistant nnd $123 a dav with rail road fare and traveling expenses, coining and going. He told them what evorvhodr know mul limn .i.u.m-.itu... the newspapers, slipped in a joker to aid the United Kail roads. Just how the city benefited, is difficult to under stand. Portland has had some of these experts. Thev told only -vhnt everyone knew before hand. The Portland newspapers are today filled with "sweeping indictments" against the existing order by "New York experts." Ap parently nothing is done right, as it should be, according to these New Yorkers. There are wide-open opportunit ies for graft at every hand and it is evident that these ne glected opportunities arouse fierce resentment in their breasts. There is no such neglect in New York. It is amusing to read the rcnorts of these lrentlmiiiMi from the rotten boroughs of the east, from boss ridden Tammany slum districts, where graft is an organized and recognized vocation and permeates nearly everv branch of the public service, from corrupt and contented Philadel phia and other vice centers. No matter how bad condi tions are in the Oregon metropolis, thev tire a great deal better than in the great cities of the castthere is in fact, no comparison. As long as politics rule .municipal af fairs, as loinr as popularity or partisanship is the test for public office, .just so long will we Have unbusinesslike administration. Chang ing the form will not change the system. Thy commis sion is likely to be just as inefficient and corrupt as the council. Though it makes the placing ot' responsibility easier, it does not increase the rapacity or character of the officials. Government is just as good or bad as the intellectual average of the electorate. AVhen the electorate wants business methods to govern munci:d affairs, we will fol low the German system and train men for the business as we (to in private auairs. Aicnt wi t ion govern ap pointments. But the people for the present, prefer the I Ui! ... 1 X ' x . .1 . II 1 i .... poutieai system instead oi inc ousiness system. Tiiey like, to vote, to exercise suffrage, to be consulted on public affairs and to feel that they are participating in govern ment, and had rather pay a little more for the privilege. Audit is not at all certain that the extra cost is not money 'cll spent in that it makes for better citizenship. As for "municipal experts" reports any ordinary business man, who understands systematizing, economiz ing and efficiency can make a report on municipal methods of equal or greater practical value and the fancy prices paid is money thrown away.

Tho deslrv for wealth to satisfy necessities nnd desires Is liuiato In every normal adult. All wealth Is created by labor. Tho demand for wealth Is unlimited, because tho pos sible Improvements to satisfy human necessities nnd desires are unlimited. The supply of labor Is limited to population. What Is the natural law of supply and demand In relation to value? The demand for labor unlim ited, the supply of labor limited. Kvery laborer would b released from tho strain and menace of Idle ness and poverty to certain employ ment, and wages of tabor would tie limited only by the product of labor Tho vast Increase of wealth thnt would ensue from Ideal conditions of labor nnd production Is Inconceiv able, but It Is perfectly evident that sustenance would be In reach of all with lots exertion than oxygen and poverty would bo as preposterous nnd ridiculous as nakedness. 10 RESUME W ORK ON IHE OPP MI Work is to liu leHiiiued xlioillv on I lie Opp mine.

When monoy was reduced to the sole function of a medium of exchange, money would have no earning power und would have no other function but service. Tho circulation of money is as vital to tho body politic as blood to thu Individual, and if money disap pears from circulation it creates bankruptcy, starvation nnd death throughout tho body politic us Inev itably a severing tbo jugular vein kills tho individual. riuctuatlnn In tho valuo of money Is admitted to bo an unmitigated ovil, but tbo defect Is Inevitable by tho uuanlmuuK decision of economists, bct-uiiM; tho law of uupply und de mand applies to niouoy as positively as to weulth. It Is considered as ub- surd for an economist to discuss tho Uiiostloii of p. fixed and unchangeable standard of value as purputual mo tion, but ull eiouoiulbtu admit that equilibrium butween supply and de maud for money would remedy tho ovil. Scientific money provides this do Hldoratiim, automatically maintaining equilibrium between supply and de mand by utilising tho nation's credit based en total wealth, under u per fect system of accounting und Inter change of bonds and money. Valuo Is such a subtle thing that language Is Incapable of expressing what value Is without first fixing a standard of value for tho purpose of muting prlco and fixing amount of deferred pay- Tho dollar never chaugos lu size and mihstanco, therefore all changes In value appear to take place In other things, and without lutrl cato deductions It Is luiposslhlo to concolvo that tho dollar ever fluc tuates In value. Thoro Is only one way to distinguish tbo fluctuation In tbo valuo of money Itself, and that Is accomplished by n comparison of succeeding lists of prices of the sumo standard articles extending over a Tlicro Is no such thing an Intrinsic value, air has no valuo becauso It Is 'superabundant, yet no ono can live without air. Gold or diamonds would uuvu no valuo If tnoy wero mior abundant. Valuo Is created by hu man necessities nnd desires and fluc tuates with tho Intensity of und tho difficulty In satisfying human neces sities and desires. What Is fictitious valuo to ono Is real value to another and vlco versa. Tho total world's supply of goli Is but a mlnuto fraction of thu total demand obligations payable In gold. A panic causes monoy (o disappear from circulation, prices full, and all debtors uro doomed to bankruptcy without monoy ruuppoars In circula tion. "Uufctoring coufldoiico" Is ull that Is necessary to make monoy sup ply abundant, became anything that la current with tho banks will pass for money when confidence lit inuuuv supply lu undoubted. Tho quuiitlly theory of monoy Is graphically portrayed by tho follow ing suppositien: A pair of shoos worth 6 when tho total world's gold supply was JG.Ouu.OOO.OliO. if money disappeared from circulation tiutll it was tho total gold supply, thu pair of shoes would bu worth but ono six-bllllonth of six dollars and all wealth would dcprccluto In valuo proportionately, if It wore possible to complete tho exchange tho owner of tho dollar would possess tho total wealth of tho world.
