THOSE WHO BUY The time Is coming when those who buy goods over the counters of the nation will be asking some new questions. Not only .will they inquire about the quality and price, which is important, but they will also want to know something about the conditions under which the goods were produced. If an article was manufactured in a factory where working conditions were poor, where men and women are paid starvation wages, where children wear out their .lives, the consumer will know these things. If clothing was made in a sweat shop there may be some way of branding it. If the stores which sell the goods do not pay decent wages, maybe that fact will become known. It is important that fanners get a fair price for their products. We all admit that. It is just as important that those who labor, get fair wages. That is not only humane, decent, right, but it is to the advantage of every person in the nation. If people earn they can live and spend. If they do not, the depression continues. The United States will some day be upon a foundation of happiness and prosperity. THE FRIDAY, Semi Weekly THE BOX KT.nER NEWS. MODERN NEWSPAPER We believe that newspapers were never so free from the truckling spirit, never so unqualifiedly devoted to the popular welfare, uninfluenced by hope of direct, selfish gain, as they have been of late years and are now. We frequently hear it said that e the independent spirit of the newspaper is gone; that its editorial policy is now subservient to the business end of the plant. Yet this is not true. There is more unselfish idealism in the average local newspaper than in any other business enterprise. It frequently speaks out in the way which it believes will be for the good of the nation and of the community, regardless of what the consequences may be from a business standpoint. This is more than the average business man will do or could do. Of course, the local newspaper is now on a firmer business basis than papers were back in the early days. This is why it is still improving from year to year, why it is giving its readers a constantly better newspaper and why it is increasing its influence for good in the community. And it does its boosting in most cases without any hope of material reward whatsoever. old-tim- HIGH PRICES PROSPERITY For a Clear MARSDEN By ALBERT M.

In 1836, the Britisa, adioitly scheming to enhance the value of their credits abroad, closed their mints to the free coinage of silver. By so doing, it is stated upon good authority, the British credits owed in foreign countries doubled in value.

Heretofore, every country in the world was either using silver or silver and gold as measures of value, except England. At that time England and Prussia controlled a little over 90 per cent of the total supply of the worlds gold. After the adoption of the gold standard by Prussia, there was a mad scramble for gold. Every nation wanted to increase the value of its foreign credits. After the close of the Civil War, our industries advanced rapidly in the north and west, although the south suffered from the devastation of the war and the reconstruction period. Our agriculturists and manufacturers were riding on a wave of high prices when the mad scramble for gold occurred. In 1873 our Congress adopted the gold standard and closed the mints to the free coinage of silver. Immediately we were thrown into the most disastrous panic of history, save the present crisis. For' the benefit of the greedy few, our country followed the example of the British capitalists and of the European conquerors. The action of our Congress in demonetizing silver has been called the Crime of 73. It was of a great democracy to follow the example of Europe which had scarcely emerged from the feudal system and which to this day is bound and gagged by the fetish of the gold standard. j in-j Notice is hereby given of the 1 of Brig-Council tention of the City ham City, Utah, at a regular session to be held November 1st, 1933, at 7:30 p. m. to increase the budget, appropriation of the following funds in the amounts set forth: - U2, 000.00 Waterworks Police Streets Health - Cemetery Bond Interest ht Door.
