There have been large numbers of Americans, more than once in our history, who wanted the government to issue unsecured! paper, but that heresy has passed away. j The basic requisite for money is precisely the same! as the basic requisite for business and for human char- acter.

TIaE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL It tte only newspaper in Salem whose circulation u guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulation! MONEY AND MORALS. It appears from a recent interview that Lenine, the Itolshvist leader, is very proud of the depreciation of the money issued by his government. He wants it to depre ciate and the lower it goes the better satisfied he is. So he keeps the presses working, overtime, "not in order to fill the coffers of the state with practically worthless paper, but with the deliberate intention of destroying the value of the money as a means of payment." He doesn't believe in money, you see, because money, suggests the old "capitalistic system" and he is doing his best to discredit it. Maybe he is succeeding in that purpose, but it is far more likely that he is merely discrediting Bolshevism. Real money "honest-to-God money" as Americans some times call it, not altogether irreverently is not hurt by such a process. It is only driven into hiding and prized the mere when the market is flooded with bogus cur rency. Every fake ruble put out by Lenine's printing presses raises the value of sound money, just as every lie raises the value of truth. The trouble with "fiat money" is that it is exactly a lie. No man, no government, no power on earth, can make a ruble, a dollar, a pound, or a franc by the simple process of calling it so. The United States treasury could put out a bank note labelled "one dollar" and no intelli gent citizen would accept it as such unless it also bore a promise that the government would exchange gold or silver for that piece of paper. To create money the government would have to cre ate out of nothing gold or silver, or some other acceptable valid peace with Germany can be signed without them. Somehow, we can't get a clear mental picture of Wilson, I Lloyd-George and Clemenceau going very far out of their i way - to request the return of a "I won't play" statesman such as Orlando has proven himself to be. Nor can we imagine the Allies hesitating very long in consummation ' of peace because Kome squeals, No fair. Chicago was the quietest city in the country on May Day. Mayor Thompson and his subjects in the "sixth German city of the world" have probably begun to realize that they were defeated with the signing of the armistice. A census of 221 girls of the Benson Polytechnic School of Portland as to their choice of occupations reveals that only one craves housekeeping. Wonder what a census of the same 221 girls five years from now would reveal. THE CASH SIDE OF THE LEDGER. CASH begets credit. Therefore, the business man will not overlook the importance of build ing up his bank account. It means "working capital" for carrying on the operations. Here at the United States National Bank, we look upon the well maintained account of a cus tpmer as a recommendation for credit. Ycu will find us encouraging de velopment wherever possible.

Buy of Whom You Please But Buy in Salem Now the shipyard workers ( ?) of Tacoma and Seattle are demanding a six-hour day. The right thing to do with these bolshevists would be to shut down the government subsidized shipyards and cut the working hours to zero. Having bolted the peace conference Italy now seems to be looking around for an opportunity to get back in again. How are the advocates of paving the proposed Roose vlt highway going to keep it true to name without any rough riding on it? Salem is growing quite metropolitan. There was an open-air bolsheviki meeting on a principal street corner with open advocacy of Russian anarchy.

When I've hood my growing taters, and the twilight hour is come, then I join the village haters, hating till I'm out of plumb. One must strive to earn bis wages ere he fools away his time; to indulge in misfit rages always strikes me as a crime. There's a time to talk of traitors, of the king who lost his crown, so I join the village haters when the fat old sun goes down. Then I've done my daily labors, I have earned three honest bones; I can gossip with my neighbors, talk in loud triumphant tones. All the day I'm busy crating patent churns and things like those, and I leave the stunt of hating till the evening whistle blows. Then you'll see me stand orating loudly by the village dump, telling how I will be hating Huns till Gabriel blows his trump. MB. FREDERICK APPEARS PROMPT LY AS HE PROMISED. J.
