ALXJSKi WASHINGTON Barney Barucn, Wall Street wizard and staunch Democrat, contributed con-tributed over $70,000 to Roosevelt's campaign, but he does not believe in putting all his political eggs in one basket. bas-ket. On a recent trip to San Francisco Barney disappeared mysteriously for a week end. None of the many friends" wishing to do him honor, could locate him. In fact his whereabouts is still something some-thing "of a secret. Barney spent two days at Palo Alto visiting Herbert Hoover The Cornell arts faculty has issued a statement repudiating repudiat-ing their colleague Professor George F. Warren and his gold buying plan. They resent the idea of the so-called Warren "rubber dollar being called the Cornell dollar." Wall street has eased down its criticism of the new dollar no matter what its name. . . . Treasury Treas-ury officials are convinced that the leak to London of the daily gold price comes from a tapped telephone tele-phone wire. London usually gets the news 4 to 10 minutes ahead of the American public. Most people don't "know it, but a mysterious third man helps Morgenthau and R. F. C. Chairman Jesse Jones set the price of gold. He Is Professor Warren himself. Father Coughlin, is threatened with legal proceedings by two promoters who published his sermons ser-mons in Baltimore. The volume never had a large sale and later was taken over by a New York publishing house which has made money for the radio priest. The Baltimore firm has now demanded a. share of the profits' from Ralph Burton, Father Owghlin's Washington Wash-ington attorney. ". X ."Army officers offi-cers are waging a behind-the-scenes campaign against their assignment as-signment tCOCcamps. They claim that political influence upsets up-sets discipline, that Robert Fech-ner, Fech-ner, CCC director, has sometimes reinstated recalcitrant tree-prun-crs, fired by army officers. Chief trouble has been with city, contingents, con-tingents, in which there are a lot of small-time racketeers or "punk" gangs. . . Funny thing, but some army officers never seem to know when they are well off. It was the CCC camps which saved 2,000 of them from being dropped last spring. . . . Senator Pat Harrison's pretty secretary was stopped by a cop the other day for speeding. He was about to hand her a ticket. Said she indignantly: "You can't give me a ticltet.

Inflation Editor's Note This is the third in a series of editorials on a widely discussed subject. When and if President Roosevelt Roose-velt in a few officila words makes the 4 billion dollars worth of gold now owned by the United States into 6 billions, or 8 billions, or 10 billions, he will not be creating new wealth. He will be creating more money " markers. He will, however,, put those extra money markers into the government treasury just as certainly as he would if he should find a few hundred tons of virgin gold. Those extra 4 billions, or whatever what-ever Roosevelt chooses to make it, will reduce government debts just as would real gold dollars of the present mintage. But those "mints" are going to be taken from somebody, in fact from a lot of bodies. ' Every hblderrbf a government bond or, of any other bond will lose a part of the value of those bonds. Every savings account -depositor, every postal savings depositor, de-positor, will help make up with .actual dollars those magically made dollars that the president mints when our present gold standard dollar is devalued.

NRA 6 Months Old; Results Pleasing To Administration Plan Believed Workable; With Adjustments May Be Deciding Factor To Pull Nation Out of Depression WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 (U.R) The NRA is six months old today. The Roosevelt administration believes that in this eventful half-year the NRA has proved itself workable and that, with some adjustments, it will be the deciding factor fac-tor in pulling the country out of the depression. In former times, improved business indices such as those of the last month would have been hailed as signs of returning prosperity. There is more caution now. But a quiet confidence has supplanted the frank air of experimentation experimen-tation of a few months ago.

It has passed through a period of attack and criticism. By actual accomplishments in codified codi-fied industries it has answered many of the arguments levelled against it. All is not clear sailing ahead. But from the standpoint of NRA the situation has improved unquestionably un-questionably in the last three weeks. NRA finds itself well fortified for-tified for any attacks that may develop in congress and against assaults that may be launched by private interests. The new situation has in it a paradoxical mixture of aggres-" sion and compromise which seems to be winning support in industry. indus-try. The blustering, "crack down" expressions of Administrator Johnson have ceased. Industry is reassured to find in this blunt and outspoken man a spirit of cooperation co-operation and compromise. At the same time there is a quiet determination to make enforcement en-forcement of codes effective. Here again industry is reassured, for strict enforcement protects the honest business man from those who would tear down team-work for personal gain. 50 Eagles Revoked . The actions started against alleged al-leged code violators through the department of justice and the federal trade commission illustrate illus-trate the enforcement policies. Some 50 "Blue-Eagles" have been revoked. Approximately 3,000,000 employers were operating under the eagles and thousands of complaints com-plaints were investigated and found unjustified.

SALES TAX RACKET IS DENOUNCED 1200 Salt Lakers Petition Governor Blood to End "Chiseling" Game SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 12 Unfair collection of an exhorbitant and illegal sales-; tax, running as high as 20 per cent in some cases, is assailed as-sailed in a petition signed by 1200 Salt Lakers, filed Saturday Satur-day with Governor Henry H. Blood. . The petitioners ask the governor to take steps to eliminate the racketeering" practices by having hav-ing the state issue tax cards in amounts of $2.50, $5 and $10 upon which would be printed denominations denomina-tions of 5 cents, 10 cents and 25 cents, as a means of fair collection. collec-tion. Chiseling Revealed Under the present system of collection, col-lection, consumers are at the mercy of "chiseling" merchants who, because of an unenforceable provision in the sales tax law, are able to charge a tax rate of their own choosing. The proposed cards would be punched by the merchants for the amount of each sale and the exact amount of the tax would go directly dir-ectly from the consumer to the state. The $2.50 cards would cost the purchaser 5 cents, or 2 per cent of the amount shown on the card; the $5 card, 10 cents and the $10 card, 25 cents. Some business houses charge a 1-cent tax on a 15ccnt purchase. Some charge for a 10-cent purchase. pur-chase. Others charge for 25-cent articles. In some cases, under the system of auditing and checking on collections, the entire tax does not reach the state, in the opinion of the petitioners. The state tav commission is handicapped because of insufficient insuffi-cient appropriations to audit the 8000 Utah merchants licensed under un-der the sales tax law.
