The greatest monetary debacle in history followed the failure of gold to meet major objectives If gold and gold alone could have met the crisis there would have been no cry for silver because there would have been no need of it So it is that gold is a national hoard contraband in the hands of the public The inadequacy of the yellow metal made nationalization imperative Nationalization of silver was a halter to keep it from assuming the functions abandoned by gold The use of silver was proposed to produce a sufficiency of metallic reserves and to guard against paper inflation of the currency It was believed silver added to gold would provide the base for a return to natural and limited credits and lead the way back to the stabilization of world currencies If metallic guarantees ate to survive the present currency contest this is as inevitable today as it was when the claims of silver were first launched The administration program however is concerned with currency manipulations in all partsof the world Perhaps it cannot afford to do anything but compete on the basis laid down in the contest which in main has to do with managed currencies and national metallic reserves and is in no way concerned with the restoration of individual guarantees Until silver is used as a primary money it is too soon for bullion buyers to proclaim its failure in the monetary scheme The fepr of silver today is not one of failure but one of potency The collapse of silver came as the result of artificial restrictions Its enemies are concerned now mainly because enforced demand removes these restrictions Whether silver is up or silver is down it is blamed for all the ills of silver standard countries who finally must trace their major difficulties to subjection to the unaided gold standard If the world is to have a common rule or measurement for value it is bound to respect the precious metals which for these purposes are silver and gold When that time comes -- nations possessed of both silver and gold will be in the best positions Hope of a return to the unaided gold standard is as futile as the ambition to direct the trade and credits of the world by a system of managed currencies Relief Preparedness com- - You’re Safe ‘Up There’ OF the big jobs that has fallen to the lot of aviation ONE and which they have done well has been to reassure the public that “it’s safe to ride up there” There is a certain something about soaring through the ether at 180 miles or more an hour that captivates the imagination appeals to the urge for adventure and yet to some it creates a hesitancy As aviation progresses air travel becomes routine and little thought is now given to the points upon which the mind would dwell even a short time ago A recent compilation by the bureau of air commerce department of commerce sheds light on this swiftly growing industry Moreover the report provides a sedative to any timid souls Here’s a digest of the record: Miscellaneous aircraft operators hew more miles in the first half of 1935 than in any previous January-Jun- e period since 19311: j Aircraft achieved a new safety record during this same period These operators flew 40234185 miles during the period and carried 556332 passengers with 821106 miles flown fer passenger fatality The record shows vividly that despite natural obstacles and hindrances aviation has forged far ahead has set up a record of accomplishment to which it can point with pride Utah takes pleasure in looking at this enviable aviation record Here in Salt Lake City is located one of the strategic air bases of the continent It is said that figures don’t lie The department of commerce report then shows progress in two lines: more miles flown and marked reduction in accidents In fact the latter accomplishment is so impressive that the summary of the first six months of 1935 definitely takes the risk out of flying Jtt definitely proves that you don’t have to b$ an adventurer to travel by air The Senator From Sandpit ARE AN AWRJLj Popularity isn’t worth tho things Lot OF THINGS' — By O WRONG WITH Yol) Son YoiVfcE O McINTYRE NEW YORK Jan Beebe has become the Journalistic dandy of his generation A second Richard Harding Davis and latter day Ed Hill rolled Into one He sponsored the midnight blue in evening duds like Davis he is of TnoU5ANt KTllEfcTrt AM A The reason why truth is stranger than fiction is because with so many people it’s so infrequent “You’ve picked a microbe of some sort” said the doctor when I complained of distress in the department of the interior Just as everything was once represented by a dlety so everything is now represented by a germ I think Jthe doctors invented them to scare people out of dying a natural death Some people are born with gems some achieve gems but all at some time have germs thrust upon them So let It be with Caesar 'TIMES tKC!

Red Cross has been the minute man of the nation When the resources of local communities are in confusion the work of the Red Cross is made difficult Valuable time is lost while order and resources are being reassembled To reduce these difficulties the national organization now is attempting ' to train communities in disaster relief preparation It reasons that the distress and suffering accruing to an unlooked for calamity may be lessened by community preparation to meet wholesale relief demands Henry M Baker San Francisco assistant manager of the Pacific branch of the American Red Cross is in Salt Lake City to acquaint local leaders with the nature of this work Earthquakes fires floods and hurricanes are not among the normal expectations of any community but they are hazards against which no community is secure If such disasters could be anticipated we would have no reason to fear them because escape would be open to us In the absence of any such guarantee it is well for every community to know in advance what it will do if it happens to be one of the future unfortunates As a result of the visit of Mr Baker an active disaster relief organization will be assembled here About 2700 such units are now functioning in the United States and more are in the process of organization The movement is one to be highly commended and is deserving of widespread support It can do much to

However there was a most dangerous element injected into the AAA case in the minority or dissenting opinion It appears to be nothing more nor less than a cheap political gesture and as such wholly unworthy of justices of the great court The contention of the dissenters is not tenable either in law or logic Constitutional questions are wholly within the province of the court to decide Questions of and pertaining to the constitution its scope or restrictions etc are wholly the prerogative of the people A legal and orderly way is provided for their submission and determination Our constitution provides protection for minorities I know of no other charter of government on earth that does so To follow the logic of the dissenting opinion would be to place all power In the hands of and remove
