OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS r "Let us have faith that right vuikcs might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as vx understand it"--Abrahatn Lincoln DISTRIBUTING RE MONEY The Burgess Battery company rt Madison, Wis., re cently paid its, 1400 employes their fu . regular two weeks' payroll r-f $72,000, in new silver dollars. The banks and store -I Madison saw more silver in I'..: next tv:o days tha:: they had seen in years before, for . Her of dollar size has been almost unknovn. If silver is a good circulat'iig mediu- the Burgess company has taken the right means to .Secretary Mel Ion's money plan into service - .-i!ver instead of paper merry. When John f h . ...a said tii:.t the way to resume specie payment is ' '... iv.-umo," he proclaimed a fact so old and so co.-imoi i.ice tu:t financier.-; and states men had overlooked it. That i.-; the case nov; the way to use silver is to tr - it, and the bu .in;-.-; of hliv.-i- mining will come back to par. Though silver has not reached a satisfactory price, .his year promise; to be a' better silver year than 192-1. Silver is still the world's choice for hand money; the silverless nations promise to take more for coinage this year than during the past few years. Lead, copper, and zinc, the metals with which silver is almost invariably found, will be benefited by a greater use of silver. o ELIMINATING INVESTMENT RISKS A. P. Giannini, president of the Bancitaly corpora tion, the affairs of which company are conducted along the line of a conservative English investment trust, makes an interesting .".tatement about this type of business. "These trusts are much like banks, except that they deal entirely in securities, rather than liquid capital. They buy stocks or bonds in any part of the world, after a most careful investigation. They expect to make a busi ness profit on their investments, as well as to receive an income. The income received comes from interest and dividends collected on securities owned, and from profits made by buying either stocks or bonds which their in vestigations s'how to be selling below intrinsic value. "The investor who owns the stock of an investment trust holds only one security, but that one certificate rep resents an interest in many securities purchased after jarefu. investigation. i presents an interest in a fund which is managed along the most approved lines." This is one way to beat the unscrupulous stock sales man who robs the smaller investors of the United States of hundreds of millions annually. WILL YOUR BUSINESS BE NEXT? Last year. 13 states had no gasoline tax; this year, only one is left that has not passed or up to March first was not considering a gas tax law. Arkansas had a 4 cent tax last year, the highest of all; this year, four have decided on a I-cent tax, and four have made it five cents. Only New York sticks to the 1-cent tax; all the others are from 2 cents upwards. The amount collected last year was 57(5, (i 18,8-31 ; using the same amount of gas, the states under the new laws may expect to collect $1'J8, 985,108. Taxes must be paid to support governments but special taxation and unequal taxation has for centuries been a curse to, and a destroyer of many governments. The Standard Oil company of California has made an open and above board fight against the constantly in creasing gas tax, as a matter of principle, not because the tax hurls the Standard Oil company, for it is simply transferred to the public with each gallon of gas sold, but because the system of special taxation is unsound and unless curbed, will gradually be extended from one busi ness to another. Hereafter the airplane will be the chief factor in any thing in the war line that may come up. A whole lot of people are yet afflicted with the war mania and it seems emont C.teaht .orrl vf Murriupe 'The Golden Bed" rv .'.." ! . n r'.itnmml picture . .-. i uiili Kn.i l.altorno li.-t. h.-c 1 . 1.

After this expression of feminine chivalry she was led back to the main table. Both sipped water until the others returned. CHAPTER C3 "Admah, you dear.'" whispered Flora I-ee in one of those rare intervals when the saxophones were resting and the seats were all filled at the hiif round table. Her tone and her little caressing word gave him sueh joy that he would have hired the Hamilton ballroom every night had she suggested If. "I'm glad you like it," he mumbled, and she laughed recklessly; bright color w as siiow mg on her cheeks. "How could I help liking It!" she whispered. "Think of what a morgue the old Sycamore must be tonight! Did you notice?" Her eyes pointed out Hunter O'Neill for whom she had found a plane a few chairs away. wen, nere s to us!" She ra sed (class of the sauterne which her boot legger bad furnished at champagne prices. Admah drank with ner and was more than satisfied. A glance around the table assured him that Flora Lee had done well.

Admah hnted speeel.es and his head was In-ginning to ache aain. "Ladles and gentlemen." belled the elocutionary voice. "I want to propose a toast.

"Admah!" For he s a jolly good Mlow." All this was going on at once and some stout fell -w was struglmn to shovo Admah to las feet. . . , "Oct up!" a voice waf eommamUng in his ear. Admah had h:df raised his clumsy body, a puzzled Impulse to bey. when two slim, naked arms developing astonishing stnuu-Th, went across his shoulders, forcing hiu back in hi seat. He looked up stupidly nnd saw that Flora Leo was on her feet, her eves (laming against Ferris Crow-ell's fur bidding glare. .w, i iora Lee, C to well was pro testing, "it s not your party, (..ne him a chance. Olve ' "Will you let mo alone?" she de manded shrilly, and an instant later she had parried his arm, and using her chair as a mounting-block, sprung tip on the table. Glasses, (lowers were scattered right and left with a kick of her linpallelit littlA feet. "Flora Lee J Give her a chance!" "Down In front!" "We want Admah!" The calls were all mixed together, a formless pandemonium till she had reached down and picked up a wine glass. The artful pallor with which shi ordinarily chose to mask her face bad disappeared; her cheeks were brihirt as peonies. Holding her glass aloft, a small fury with tawny locks flying and eyes burning with mischievous light, she stood an Instant.smlling around her. "Keep still, everybody!" she shrilled across th room. The Hedlam began to subside. Then a waiter dropped a tray; somebody giggled, but Flora Lee stood her ground, challenging. Impudent, reckless, "We haven't got time for a lonn speech." she resumed, when at last sin had her chance. Hut if you're going to drink to Admah I want you to drink to me too. Drink to our happiness Wish us luck. Admah and I are going to be married " Admah heard no more. Either the noise In the room or the noise In his head had deafened him completely. It was a dream, of course. That was It. He'd sat there mj long, waiting and wondering how to ask Mrs. Kustone about Savarac that he'd nodded and imagined thin whnu rnnn.iA Hut the guests at his party were taking man was sure.
