THE GOLD BONUS #
A’askans generally and as a body
can be sajd to be in favor of the so
called McFadden bill which has as its
object the placing of a bonus on newly
produced gold. This bonus, it is pro
posed, would be taken care of by a
tax on gold used in commercial . and
industrial arts. The supporters of this
bill maintain that it will in no wise
affect the gold standard and will re
vive the gold mining industry which
has beer steadily declining with the
ever decreasing value of purchasing
power of gold.
As gold mining is one of Alaska’s
main industries it is not surprising
that the bonus proposal is waimly ad
vocated here. The same attitude is
naturally expected in other parts of
REPUBLICAN tflCEBT.

SUPPORT THE TICKET
the country where the same industry
is a factor. It is encouraging to note
that some attention is being given the
matter in the east In a recent issue
of the New York Evening Post, the
bonus plan was advocated by the Har
riman National Bank which present
ed its case in a paid advertisement
under the heading “The Cost of Gold"
as follows:
The federal reserve act requires that
40 per cent reserve in gold be main
tained against notes in actual circula
tion, and 35 per cent against deposits
Jn gold or actual money.
The world’s gold production for 1919
was $366,141,218, to which the Uni*
ted States contributed $68,488,800, a
decrease in excess of $10,000,000 from
the previous year. We learn that the I
United States coined no gold in 1918
| and 1919, but there was consumed in
the industrial arts in the United
| States alone during 1919 $52,409,740
of gold, nearly all that was mined in
this country.
Where are we to get additional
gold for our reserves unless we stim
ulate production, and how can we stim
ulate production except by paying for
it ? With the high cost of labor and
machinery, gold production has dim
h hed because an ounce of gold does
cot bring enough in the market to
cover the cost of producing it, and
this is a condition that will continue
until labor and costs are reduced. Thj
question is will such costs again be
!
reduced to the figure necessary for
the gold miner to produce his metal at
a profit? Yes, with deflation of com
\
modity prices and reduced taxes.
The Harriman National Bank would
-favor a premium on the use of gold
for Jfcwelry, dental needs, window let
|
tering, decoration and a hundred other
ways. With this premium upon such
uses of gold paid as a subsidy to the
| Piine-owner, he could undoubtedly
make both ends meet and have a
legitimate profit wherewith to help
pay his taxes.
