Show The BgMdHAM: Mews . ' ' VOL. 2 ;!!''1J'?'S - BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923. NO. 24 Fire Prevention Week i Governor Mabey designated 1 this week to be known as Fire Preven-tion Week. Our volunteer fire de-partments have taken the matter up and are distributing literature on Fire Prevention throughout the camp. Bingham has been blessed the past year, the only fire of much Import- ance being that at the Canyon Hall. On October 5 of last year the Bing-ham Hotel was destroyed by Iflre, and only by the persistence and'tflre-fightin- g abilities of our voluiteer fire fighters was the business sec-tion of the town saved from demo-lition. When we read of the .con-flagration that occurred at Delta the past week, with an estimated loss of $65,000, we thanked our lucky stars that we lived in a community where one could rest at night with-out fear of being burned to deatjh In our bed. It is, however, necessary that the people of Bingham work In conjunction with the fire depart- ments. Everyone who owns prop-erty here Bhould take an Interest, since the destruction of property by fire is a dead loss to the country. All the people inherit a share of it. The people should take the matter to heart. sFlre prevention Is being taught in our schools and should be carried into every home and every business. All persons should co-operate with fire agencies in clean-ing up fire hazards and in exercising greater vigilance against this de-stroyer of life and property. Most of the fires that have occurred In Bingham during the past two or three years have been root fires. The time is rapidly approaching when people will realize that it, will pay to use fireproof roofing material, both In the construction of new buildings and in replacing roofs on old buildings. This should be done as a fire protection, as statistics show that wood shingle roofs are a great menace. More tires originate thru sparks falling on shingle roofs than In any other way, and with a conflagration once under way the fire is carried by brands to roofs ad-joining having wood shingles. The great fire at Berkeley, California, a few weeks ago evidently Impressed the people of that city of the danger that goes with wooden roofs, and in order to remove that menace the council ot that city passed an ordi-nance requiring all buildings to have roofs of fireproof material. The, only objection that can be raised Is the higher cost as compared with shin-gles, and this is completely answered in the face that a fireproof roof lasts practically forever, while a shingle root has to be replaced every few years, thus making the fireproof roof more economical in the long run. We would ask the question: Is the proposition worthy ot con-sideration not only by the town board, but by owners of property In this great copper camp? The churches, the schools and fraternal organizations of Bingham are co-operating with the tire departments in making Fire Prevention Week a success. Fire losses during 1922 reached the enormous sum of 1521,860.000, and entailed a loss of life of 15,000. This represents the greatest destruc-tion by tire ever known for a single year In any country at any period of history. -- i CHIPS AND SHAVINGS ; ; ARQUNDBINGHAM Lester McArthur of St. Anthony, .

That gold and silver, having ac-tual substance and being produced at a rate corresponding to the growth of population and industry, are natu-ral standards for the measurement of value and should be the only basis for monetary loans. 10. That a per capita circulation of money and credit based exclusive-ly on gold and silver money, by reason of its stability, woud do away with "business cycles," stabi-lize commodity prices and wages, give regular employment to labor, limit speculation to its legitimate functions, and so contribute immeas-urably to the peace, happiness and well-bein- of humanity. J. M. Hamilton, Salt. Lake jminiua man, also submitted a plan for the rehabilitation ot the silver industry. Silver Hearing Closed Examiner Fletcher Hamilton of the United States Gold and Silver Commission closed his hearings at the council chamber of the City and County Building at Salt Lake' on Wednesday. Although the hearings Save brought a great deal of data from large operators of the state, a disap-pointingly small number ot man-agers of minor companies have to testify and contribute in-formation which will be of value to the commission in planning legisla-tion for the rehabilitation of the in-dustry, f D. D. Mulr, Jr., manager ofJ, the Unfted States 8meHfng, - Refilling & Mining company, in telling of the mining operations of his company, stated that mining costs have prac-tically doubled since the prewar pe-riod. This increase Is due mainly to the advance In the cost of supplies and wages. Murray Schick, secretary of the Minerals Exploration company, at-tended Tuesday morning's hearing and testified, as a student ot the silver situation and economics, con-cerning the modifications he thought should be made in present financial practice. Mr. Schick scored the theory of flexible currency In a ser-ies ot allegations that were filed by him with the commission as follows: Causes of Depression Cited. 1. That "cycles' In business, Ir-regularity of employment, the conse-quent Inefficiency ot labor, and haz-zard- s of Investment are due In a very large degree to the fluctua-tion of commodity prices. 2. That fluctuations ot prices are due only in small part to fluctuations in the supply of commodities and are caused chiefly by variations tn the per capita of monetary circula-tion. 3. That such fluctuations are chiefly In "money of account. or credit money created by loans or assets. 4. That the valuable creation of intangible money by loans on assets seriously Impairs one of the func-tions of money that of measuring value by constantly altering the effective command for commodities. 5. That an asset currency is scien-tifically unsound, because the under-lying assets cannot be used for re-demption purposes except by convert-ing them Into basic money, which would be on a large scale commer-cially Impracticable. 6. That the theory of a "flexible" currency is economically unsound, because postulated on the false as-sumption that labor should be fully employed during some parts of the year and only partially employed the rest of the time. Injustice Shown 7. That a flexible asset currency is unjust, because, by enabling the makers to diminish supply at will, It absolves them from the law ot supply and demand, deprives bor-rowers of the benefits of a normal maximum supply and minimum de-mand, and thereby restricts the natural preventative of seasonal de-pressionsfalling intesest rates. 8. That money ot intrinsic value because It represents an actual in-vestment of labor, cannot be arbi-trarily conjured into and out of existence, and is, therefore, subject, like labor and commodities, to the Smalltst Bank. In the town of Normal, a small suburb of Lincoln, Neb., la the small-est bank In the country. It was or-ganized three years ago with a capital of $15,000. Today its assets hare In-creased more than tenfold. In a small frame structure only 18 by 20 feet. It represents a total amount of resources which might easily be the envy ot some of our big banking houses, for Its stockholders are conservatively es-timated to be worth . upward of While some banks In the last three years have had to charge off a great many losses, this bank has had the perfect record of no losses and no change In the 18 stockholders or tn the directors or officers. Did It Ever Occur to You That the Inside ot a cantaloupe is a gamble, although there are some people who pretend to know otherwise. That we desire our readers to In-vestigate the bargains advertised In our columns weekly. That Captain Kldd said "Dead men tell no tales" but Conan Doyle would like to have us believe dif-ferently. That a certain baker has been advertising for a wife for two months without results, surely the girls are not needing "dough." That the women who would best serve as representatives In political bodies are not the ones who as a rule aspire. That President Grant hit the wine question pretty hard at the open-ing of conference. Has he forgotten the Biblical wine story, when it was said "The best Is left until the last?" That since Dr. Straup took charge of the County Hospital Its receipts have been Increasing dally. That to acquire the art of being a good talker one shouldni talk too long. That we saw a fellow selling a hundred thousand marks tor fifty cents the past week. Would it be a gamble to buy? That a deputy 8herlft would like to help out his many friends in Copperfield and Highland Boy. by Introducing a stage line. Some people are truly benefactors. That the bridge near the Lark school house Is still unsafe, accord-ing to reports recently received. That It may still be advisable for residents of Lark to secure some pocket search lights so that they will be able to find their way thru the snow this coming winter. Are the Commissioners In line with the manufacture ot pocket lamps? That when you are In need of some real shells and a good gun cheap don't forget to call on Jack's Place, 77 West 2nd South Street, Salt Lake City. Jack keeps them. That if you tell a man he looks like a million marks these days he will be sorely offended. That some people never think ot praying until their knees get so old and shaky they can't stand the strain. That there are a few people In Bingham who appreciate the fact we have a real volunteer fire de-partment. That people who marry for better or worse are never disappointed. That Lloyd George got an Irish feception when he landed In the U. S. A. That Barnura claimed a sucker was born every minute, but they don't like to be called by that name. That many people Imagine that a party who publishes a newspaper Is also In a position to make legiti- mate $50 bills, the way they act. That this camp is Infested with thieves who think every article picked up on the street belongs to them. Wednesday evening a lady lost her handbag coming from her home at 33 Main and in spite ot the fact the handbag contained her name and address the party who picked it up Is so Imbued with that thelvtah Instinct they no doubt im-agine finders should be keepers, and are still holding onto same. It would be great It our police officers could procure some clue and such measly residents ot this great camp be ridden out on a rail. , That she didn't appreciate the tact of being called "a charming guest..

Queer Cargo, The queerest cargo ever taken over-seas by a British steamer was that re-cently discharged at a Moroccan sea-port.
