CLEARS PATHWAY TO CREDIUROWTH (Continued irom Page One) the foreign exchange market. Sec ondly, there is the unknown quantity of what action foreign authorities may take to defend their positions. Nearer Gbld Standard. The new position of the dollar places it more closely to the old gold standard than the present position of sterling is, foreign exchfyige au thorities say. The old. gold standard, permitting the sale or purchase of international gold at a fixed price, places the parity of exchange in terms of other currencies under automatic control. For instance, if the dollar holds well above Its new gold parity, It will be profitable for banks to ship gold from Par Is to Lon don . Th is would theoretically continue un til enough dolars were sold and francs purchased in paying for the move ment of gold, to lift the ratio of the franc to the dollar so close to the parity that the operation no longer would be profitable. In case the dol lar should decline below lt parity with the franc, the federal reserve might sell gold, for exportmntU the reverse took place. Problem for France. If the flow of capital toward the United States becomes extraordinarily large, it may much more than absorb the offerings in the London market, and make such inroads into the re serves of the Bank of Prance that the bank would cease to sell gold freely, which would be tantamount to quit ting the International gold standard.

Pilings for nominations for the pri mary closes April 8. An open debate on the Bales Tax to be staged by Orange members, ex clusively, will be featured at the meeting of the Central Point Orange tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, and the public Is invited to come and hear both sides of the question. The lecture hour, scheduled for that time, will be devoted to the measure, the affirmative side of which will be presented by Mrs. Alex Sparrow and Prof. H. P. Jewett The negative will be upheld by Victor Bursell and Arden Tyrrell. The regular Orange meeting will follow the debate In order that the people, who are not Grangers, may come for the open session nnd then leave for home, if they desire. The recent tendency In local G ran ges has been a definite move toward bringing both sides of the tax ques tion before the members, which is in keeping with a previously established custom regarding all measures. The debate scheduled for Friday at the Central Point Orange will probably be followed by numerous ones In other sections of the county. 1913 CARTON OF LOCAL INTEREST An Interesting cartoon, published in the Medford Sun, back In 1913, was brought to light today from Mayor E.
