REAT PROGRESS CAR MING Simplicity In tlio keynote of tlio modern motor car, and simplicity is nowhere better exemplified than In Chalmers cars. Even men who have watched carefully the strides mado In perfecting the automobile, aro forced to open their eyes In amazement when they comparo the present day machine with ono of the vintage of 1908. Tho prepress has been so great that It 1b difficult to appreciate It. However, slnco tho changes of tho past year have been refinements more than nnythlng else It Is reason able to prcsumo that tho next fen years will bring nothing of great im portance to automobile design. "All unnecessary parts havo been eliminated in tho properly designed autoraobllo of 1913," said Perry I Ashcraft, Jr., tho Chalmers repre sentative. "As an example," ho con tlnued, "tako tho Chalmers "36." It is typical of tho modern motor cars becauso it is a standard by which automobile values in Its class aro Judged. One of the most commend ablo points about this car is .its sim plicity. Simplicity makes for dura bility, dependability, economy In maintenance nnd operation long life. "I can remember tho tlmo when there wcro hundreds of moro parts to an automobile than used In tho Chalmers of today. When you elim inate working parts, you cut down the cost of repairs, tho cost of run ning tho car and lengthen its life. It is not infrequent that you find Chalmers owners who havo driven their car 75,000 and 100,000 miles, and still gives perfect eervlco. Tho well designed and properly construct ed motor car should give long ser vlco; If it doesn't, there is something wrong. "It doesn't tako an expert me chanic to run a Chalmers and make it run right Tho person of ordinary motor experience can got Just as good results out of tho Chalmers s tho expert. The beauty of tho stand ard automobilo of 1913 Is that it Is ready to run when you want It There is no pleasure in having a car that wilt not glvo service all tho tlmo when it is properly taken caro of. "Chalmers cars aro slmplo all tho way through. This even applies to tho self-starter, In itself usually a a complicated adjunct to tho auto mobile proper. Tho Chalraors is Is mechanically cranKcd by an air device. This is entirely soparate from tho working parts of tho car. It is tho simplest kind Imaginable. Jt is absolutely dependable It does not affect In any manner tho motor or ignition system. That Is the reas on why it Is acknowledged to bo tho most serviceable on tho market. "It used to bo that a chauffeur was almost a necessity whero an auto mobilo wns in use. Not so now. Everything on the automobilo of the Chalmers class is controlled from the dash. You do everything necessary to tho operation of tho machine with out movlug out of the driver's seat. With olectric lights, solf-starter, car buretor adjustment, etc., within easy reach of tho pilot, It is Just as easy fqr a woman to drlvo it as an ex perienced automobilo mechanic." PIHSSIDENT WILSON litis Issued mi order through tho treasury department, requiring national hanks to ncreatter pay two per cent interest on government de posits. It is the first time in historv that hanks have had to pay for money so deposited. Banks that aro designated as national depositaries, must deposit with the treasurer of. tho United States gov ernment honds equal in faee value to the monev deposited. This order the "Wilson administration has modified to per mit the deposit of thirty per eent loeal municipal and county honds, and seventy per eent government honds. The two per eent interest charge will ho based on tho avorago monthly balances of the government's account in each depositary, pavable January 1 and .July i ot each year, hxperts estimate that the minimum on which tin government can transact its daily business is $ 15,000,000 and that a substantial portion of the working balance can with easo bo deposited. These orders will result in a material saving to the government, as well as help boost local securities, which many banks have declined to handle because they were not acceptable. The changes argue well for tho business ability of the now administration. It seems probable that the days when the treasury rushes to the aid of "Wall Street aro past forever. MINIMUM WAGE LAWS. THE Oregon minimum wage law will go into effect, in June. It provides for a commission that will fix the minimum amount of pay. At first thought it would seem that the minimum wage law renders it impossible for the inefficient to secure em ployment, as no employer will pay more than is earned. Hence the class of incompetents would be enlarged and forced into other means of livilihood besides honest toil. Experience, however does not bear this out. The mini mum wage law originated in Australia and New Zealand. England afterwards applied it to certain industries. JiiVeiTWhero its effect has been beneficial. The greatest benefit resulting has been the elimination of sweat-shops. There are no sweat-shops in the Anti podes. Along with the living wage has gone living hours and the elimination of strikes by the creation of wage boards, which hear and decide labor disputes. Tho Australian system allows infirm or slow workers, in certain limits to accept less than the minimum wage, so that the' can bo kept in employment. The Oregon law probably paves the way for other legislation along similar lines. WATER MEANS PROSPERITY. THE campaign for irrigation should not be allowed to Jacr. But two weeks remain in which to secure the desired acreage and it is improbable that.such a favorable contract Avill ever again be offered. The last two weeks should be devoted to a whirlwind campaign. Every laud owner in tlio valley should be seen and induced to sign lip for at least a portion of his property. ; Irrigation is still the biggest thing before the valley. If the frost takes a fruit crop, with water, money can still be made on half a dozen crops in the orchard, between the trees. Without water, in a dry year, it is impossible to raise any crop. Water is insurance on most any kind of crop. Life on an orchard or ranch in the Rogue river valley is entirely too dry without it. Water means prosperity. Wireless Messages May Go Around World (Sacramento Bee.) A great advanco in telegraphy is oxpected from tho invention of a rotating ormaturo by Dr. Puplp, pro fessor of electro-mechanics ot Colum bia university, to be used In connec tion with tho present wireless appar atus. This devico greatly incroases tin strength of tho current and the range of long distance communica tion. It also provents interference or confusing signals from wlroloss apparatus other than tho ono de sired to be in communication. Thus tho inventor says nny ono of say 100 ships in the English chan nel, with wireless outfits, could send or receive a mefcsugo without confu sion becauso of simultaneous tel graphing to or from tho other 99. Whou Dr. Pupln, at a recent gath ering of scientists in Philadelphia, described his now Invention, Profes sor Ellhu Thompson, of tho General Electric company, Bald It mado pos- slblo tho sondlng of a wireless mod sago clear around tho world. Tho prcsont radius of wireless is about 3000 miles over sea, and 2000 on landT This' Pupln. inductor, as it Is railed, is said by the inventor to be ns ap plicable td tho Morso or wire system of telegraphy as to tho wlrolcss, ami to be valuable for both. Dr. Pnpln Is. a Hungarian, distin guished as tho inventor ot tho "Pupln coll," which has proved an Important aid to tho extended uso of the telephone. So any announcement from him of n now discovery or do- vice is received with respectful at tention in the business as well as tho scientific world. The Principles of Money INDIANA MAN BUYS HOME NEAR CENTRAL POINT Dr. W, II. IlecUman of Dodford, In diana, Friday purchased tho Enos Conor plnco on Hell J.ane, west of Ceutral Point Tho purchaso con sists of 15 acres in three year old pears, and tho cash consideration was 17000, Dr. Hcckman expects to move his family of four children and wife horo from Indiana in June. There is n cottage with six rooms and a barn on tho placo, wtlh imodorn improvements, and is considered among the good properties of tho val ley. The sale was mado through II. II, McOurdy nud. J, W, Dressier. .By K. L. McClurc.) Jlr. W'hisler has mudo a Reed be ginning m IiIh arraignment of scientific money ami tho nverngo knowledge, custom nnd belief on thd money question, bused on experience in business nnd political lifo with out nny pretention to erudition, is pretty well expressed in his article. Facctiouness, gnrcasm and slung tiro weak substitutes for reason in discussing a question that is tho most subtlo uiul intricate in tho science of economics. Wo desire that tlio gopd work should go on and bar nothing however, for discussion is tlio only way to disseminuto the truth of scientific money. Mr, Whis ler is the first and only critic worthy tho nuroo nud we honor him for hav ing tlio courage of his convictions. Gold coin is now the only real money, and anything may bo used as a substitute for monoy, but nil sub gold coin disappears from circulation us it does in a panic. Mr. Wluslerja pretense that I have not ueunoij "wnat ficieiitilic money was is n subterfuge, Unmatured time notes of the United States is the only real money when gold has been demonetized. Notes are tho sole aud only full legal tender at their fnco valuo for the payment of all debts public nnd private The uso of any thing elso us a substitute for money is prohibited, except cheeks drawn against money on deposit in a de positary of the United States to tlio credit of tho individual or corpora tion issuing the check. Chocks nro not a legal tender for the payment of debt hut are the only substitute that can he used fur monoy. The valuo of monoy is fixed by tho supply nnd demand for monoy, Gold coin Iiko all commodities, fluctuates ply nnd ilniiiind for gold win. When scientific money supersede gold coin ns the slumlord (if value, the vnluo ol' the dollar will lie definitely known h the prior of nil eominoiliUcHi uu'd If scientific in oi io y itmititiiiti equili brium between the supply nud de mand for money thereafter the value of the de'lnr will remain fhctl and utieliivngenblc. All eoninuidilieH necessarily flue tuato in valuo with changes in cup. ply fnnd ilemutnl for each particular commodity, hut under tho (told stand ard the fluctuation in tho value of money flnetunlcs the valuv of all wealth in inverse ratio, which is an unmitigated ovil thut cnuutil be rente died except hv n fixed and uneliaime- able siaudatd of value. All money issues would he tiuulo for a budget of congress, state, coun ty or municipality, and government would receive value for every dol lar disbursed. Tho total wealth of the nation would be subject to taxa tion to meet the payment of all notes nt maturity. Tho stability of money would do pond tiiHut the credit of the nation (ability to pay ita obligations in money) ns well ns tho supply and de mand for money. If the treasury should default in tho payment of a note when it matured tlio credit of the nation would ho effected the same as n bank that should default in the payment of depositor's cheeks. There could he no iwssihility of de fault in payment if perfect accounts were kept nud published regularly while authority of the state was maintained. My argument reMs entirely upon tho correct application of the law of supply and demand which is thu nat ural low of value. It is up to .Mr. Whisler to show the fallncy of its ap plication by scientific money. Sena tor Hourne nud UnKollcttc confessed they could not refute tlio nrgument, but I will he ;lnd to havo any de fects (which of course there arc) pointed out nnd corrected. Depression in business prevails the world over. Every business in Medford is nt tho lowest ebb, every one wants a job nnd tlmro nro none to bo had. Income stops, outgo cannot slop. IlnnkVilplcy U certain without labor is employed to produce wealth. What causes itf Money kings lock up money. They could mnke it siiernbundnnt in n day by n message to the 25.000 hanks in the United Stntes. "Draw on us for nny amount of gold coil,' at any lime, for ten years." No money would be drawn every bank would loan anyone with security. The more"they"Ionnel the more they would 1nve to loan, be causo all the money they paid out would come back in deposits. Money has disappeared from cir culation, f000 mechanic are in tho bread lino in San Francisco. Mod ford's unemployed cart do no belter anywhere else. The shylocks (some of tho .20,000,000.000 hank" do Ksit nnd $30,000,000,000 low in terest bonds nnd ''securities) nro thriving on "pickups" of properties sacrificed by bankrupts, and without depreciation stops who will not ho bankrupt J There is no remedy without money circulation is increased to equal money demand. Congress can re move tho causo of poverty and mnke prosperity perpetual by demonetizing gold nnd adopting scientific money. It will plnco money in roach of everyone with wealth to exchnnge, the demand for labor would bo un limited, everyone Would havo a job and would get the job ho wanted in stead of anything ho could get with tho alternation of stnrviut;. Will congress givo us a perfect money system? Hell or Tctopia which? Wood row Wilson can decide. Dinner's Real Estate & Employment Bureau VOll HAtiH 70 ncres. d room house., burn. 20 acres cleared.
