The Orient, representing half the people of the world, has been the greatest sufferer from demonetization of silver, while, as is now coming to to light in the investigation of the Morgan octopus, gold has been the agency thru which such combinations and powers as the Morgan interests possessed have been developed. Taken as a monetary basis in these days of multiple satisfactions and the standard of living, and tangible sub stance which will serve as a medium of exchange, gold is satisfactory. It is only when one wishes to use gold as a leverage with which to sway governments, and pile up great hoards of easily-transferrable wealth that the full force of che yellow metal is felt. Before President Roosevelt reached forth and wres ted the gold power from the leeches and monopolists of the nation it would have been possible for any one of them to have loaded their store of yellow metal upon their palatial yachts and sailed away to leave the nation to re cover as best it could. Hence their patriotism is not! rooted in the institutions which allowed vast honestly j accumulated fortunes, but in the word “Gold”. With the gold of the United States held as security for its currency, plus the resources of the nation to make each dollar valuable, such machinations as Morgan and his aides have been guilty of cannot recur. Once silver is brought to a better standard, the doors of the Orient will open to trade and the Pacific Coast j wall be the chief beneficiary of the change. Will BUILD RADIO STATION BEACH SIDE OF GLACIER HIGHWAY The United States Signal Corps contemplates establishing a two story tuning station on the beach side of Glacier Highway, Juneau. The building will house all the Signal Corps receivers and the signals will be placed on an 11 pair cable, to be constructed in the near future, and brought into amplifiers in the radio offices or the lawer floor of the Federal and Territorial building. This new building was found ne cessary in order to eliminate nois es in leceivers which are at the present time on the fifth floor of the Federal and Territorial build ing. This new station will be remote ly controlled from the offices in the Federal and Territorial build ing. Glen Rogers, Seward school sup erintendent, purchased the J.

KEPT WOLF AWAY Twenty men have been busy all last winter digging gold from Ko diak beaches and some are still at it, according to recent Seward arrivals from the island paradise. Expenses were made which was better than remaining idle, it is said. The flour-like gold was re covered with the aid of pans and sluice boxes. In 1850 it cost us $1.83 per capi ta to run the government. In 1930 we had a $1.93 government which cost us $38.42 per capita.
