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

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.
