They therefore argue that: .he only way to increase purchasing power is to print more money. I say that there is plenty of money in the country. The trouble is that much of! it is not circulating. It is piled up in the banks, or hidden away in homes. and hence lost to active circulation. 1 To get this money back into Industry where it will start production and pay wages is the big job before the advertising and sales forces of the i nation.

It was on my visit to him Thanksgiving I told him if I had the choice of a fnee trip to Europe or a visit to his home. I would choose to go and visit the* home of Jim Burroughs.

TYACK. r —-i ii AN APPRECIATION OF JAMES G. BURROUGHS Once upon a time, in far-off Italy two brothers lived upon little adjoin ing farms. One was single and the other was married. It chanced that a certain year the wheat crop was cut short by drouth, so that each man had barely enough for his own need*. One night the married man lay awake thinking of his brother. “The poor fellow is single, and does not have the comfort and happiness of home as I do. He is worried about his harvest, I will get lip and carry some sheaves of wheat into his field, and h e will be happier." On the same night the bachelor was thtnking of his brother—“ The poor fel low is married, and has a host of bur dots and care® that I do not have to bear. He is doubtless worried about his small harvest, I will get up and carry some of my wheat into his field, and when he se*e the shocks, he wilt be happier Out Into the darkneto of the night went these brothers, each lugging wheat into the other’s field—The moon came suddenly from behind a cloud and they stood facing each other with wheat sheaves under their arms. This true story portrays perfectly the disposition and nature of J. E. Burroughs. An honored life closed December 12, 1»32, when the gentle, unassuming spirit of James E. Bur roughs left its earthly tenement and winged its flight into the glorious company of his Savior. All that was high and noble, clean in character, true in ftfth, splendid in business af fair*, all that was Godly and Christian In human character was in th e life of tkis nobid Knight of the Crow.

But Joha Lee called him back be fore he could get away. “Maybe we’d better talk this over," the chief said with Just a trace of humility. Kane returned to his chair.

Vaughan, Seaboard freight here and president of the Rail way Employees and Tax Payers Asso ciation of North Carolina, returned home yesterday from Cincinnati, where he attended a meeting of re presentatives of the national organ! zation of that group. The big feature of the gathering was the formation of a National Advisory Council, consist ing of six railroad men from widely separated sections of the country. Mr. Vaughan was elected to mem bership in that group, the other mem bers being G. L. Phillips. Louisville. Ky.; J. G. Lyne. of Railway Age. New York; W. L. Hollinger, St. Paul. Hi O. Hewitt.,’ Ohio; E. L. Worley, St. Louis. M« Mr. Phillips is chairman and Mr. Hewitt secretary. Resolutions were adopted setting forth the opinion that such an ad visory group were neeesarry to ex change information on the fight of the railroads in “advocating and se curing fair and equitable regulation of the forms of transportation now inequitably competing with the rail ways of the country.” Resolutions adopted were as fol lows; WHEREAS, This assembly of re presentatives of organisations of Rail way employes and Taxpayers of the several states, engaged in the move ment for obtaining fair and equitable rgeulation of the various forms of transportation now inequitably com pering with the railways, has been called to consider the question of forming a national association; and VfHEREAS, The discussion has de veloped that the further extension and usefulness of the movement will be best furthered by strengthening the -A State Organization to most ably meet the differing conditions and situations in the several states, according to the varying conditions and legislative possibilities; and WIjpRAS, There seems to be no possibility of arriving at the unanim ity as to the details of proper nation wide legislation until appropriate basic legislation has been secured in the several states, and WHEREAS. There is a real need for some central medium for collect ing and disseminating Information as to the progress of the movement In the various states, and the exchange of Ideas that will be mutually helpful; NOW, THEREFORE, be It RE SOLVED: That It is the sense of this assembly that there shall be form ed a National Advisory Council of the Railway Employes and Taxpayers of not more than six members, territorially representative, who shall arrange for such a clearing house for the assembly and exchange of information and ideas as shall, in their best judgment, seem necessary and shall meet with the approval of two-thirds majority of the association I of several states; and be it further RESOLVED, That this assembly records if as its clear and explicit un derstanding that the activities of the National Advisory Council, and of every slate association that shall af filiate itself with this movement, shall be definitely confined to advo cating and securing fair and equitable regulation of the forms of tatioh now inequitably competing with the railways,of the country..
