REPUBLICAN PARTY ALWAYS BEEN SOUND Program of Reconstruction After Civil War Same as that of Present Time By John T. Adams, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, In The National Republican: The Republican party has always been a party of honest money and sound financial policies. Its record in this regard is a matter of history. The close of the Civil war found the United States government with a large outstanding bonded indebtedness incurred in order to save the Union. Her paper currency was worth only 38 cents on the dollar. At this time began the divergence of the financial policies of the Republican and Democratic parties. The Democratic party demanded that the obligations of the government be paid in depreciated paper currency. The Republican party, in the platform of 1868, at the convention which nominated Grant, incorporated the plank which stated: "We denounce all forms of repudiation as a national crime; and the national honor requires the payment of the public indebtedness in the uttermost good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, not only according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted." In the first act of Congress signed by President Grant, the United States government removed all doubts of its purpose to discharge its honest obligations to public creditors in honest money. In its platform of 1872, the Republican party pledged itself to the speedy resumption of specie payment, by bonds sold at 86 to where 4 per cent bonds were eagerly sought at a premium. Without resorting to loans, the Republican party, during the period 1870-1880, by its program of public economy, defrayed the ordinary expenses of the government, reduced the public debt by nearly a billion dollars and refunded the remainder of the outstanding debt at a lower rate of interest. This Republican program of reconstruction by sound financing and economy in public administration which brought the United States through the trying period following the Civil war is being duplicated by the Republican party at the present time. NEW ARROWHEAD TRAIL New interest was stimulated recently in the completion of the Arrowhead Trail, Southern California's most direct route to Salt Lake City, by conferences of Governor Charles R. Mabey of Utah and Preston Peterson, Chief Engineer of the Utah Highway Commission, with representative citizens and organizations of Southern California. These conferences were arranged to devise a plan whereby Utah will be enabled to pave this southern artery through sparsely settled Washington County to the state line, a distance of some 30 miles. Sentiment in Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California strongly favors this highway being brought to a high state of perfection. It is approximately 853 miles in length and taps the richest agricultural section of Utah. In addition to economic value the route is the only one leading to the magnificent scenery unfolded in Bryce Can- In the first act of Congress signed by President Grant, the United States government removed all doubts of its purpose to discharge its honest obligations to public creditors in honest money. In its platform of 1872, the Republican party pledged itself to the speedy resumption of specie payment, by which process the currency of the United States would be brought to par and the credit of the United States fully maintained in the markets of the world. The Democratic party was opposed to such a program, following the lead of those who believed in a cheap and debase paper money which would have destroyed the credit of the United States in that critical period, defrauded its creditors and led to a financial system very like that which prevails in some of the counties of Europe today whose money is so debased as to be practically worthless. Due to the insistence of the Republican party upon sound money and equally sound financial program, specie payment was resumed and our national obligations were paid in coin. The value of our paper currency was raised from 38 cents to par, and the credit of the United States was raised from the point where 6 per cent Utah will be enabled to pave this southern artery through sparsely settled Washington County to the state line, a distance of some 30 miles. Sentiment in Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California strongly favors this highway being brought to a high state of perfection. It is approximately 853 miles in length and taps the richest agricultural section of Utah. In addition to economic value the route is the only one leading to the magnificent scenery unfolded in Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, Zion National Park and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It is freely predicted that Southern California motorists will find the Arrowhead Trail a favorite trip in the future as it leads to the whole panorama of Utah's scenic glory. The highway is improved for more than 300 miles south of Salt Lake. It follows the trail of the pioneer Mormon settlers, passing through Fillmore, the first capital of Utah, some 125 miles south of Salt Lake. This is the largest city in the famous Pahvant Valley and among its points of interest is the first capitol building of Utah, then the State of Deseret, erected some 71 years ago.

It is proposed to change the old route and cut off some 90 miles by building the road from Las Vagas, Nevada, to Barstow, California. An additional 10 miles can be eliminated in the Utah link of the highway. With the exception of a short strip in Utah and the link from Barstow north to the Nevada line, the trail is continuous and well improved. Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California, who conferred with Governor Mabey, believe that some means can be found for completing the road. It is thought that the plans submitted at Washington to broaden the scope of the Public Roads Bureau so that it will have power to extend 100 per cent federal aid in construction work in sparcely settled communities will be adopted by the administration. This amendment to the present federal bill would be a tremendous aid in completing the Arrowhead Trail. FRADULENT STOCK MEN OPERATING FROM MEXICO Recent activities on the part of fraudulent stock dealers, whose operations in Southern California and Texas have been made extremely hazardous because of the activities of the State Corporation Department and the United States Postal authorities, indicate that at least some of this gentry have migrated to Mexico and are now engaged in forwarding their alluring literature to persons throughout California who are on what is commonly known as the "sucker list." An example of these operations came to the attention of the Corporation Department recently through circulars which were forwarded to residents of Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles by Freeman Berns, whose address in Mexico is given as, Apartado No. 139, Bls, Mexico. Berns' particular stock in trade is an appeal to the cupidity of the investors of his "sucker list" by guaranteeing—and his word is the only guarantee—2,000 per cent on the investment within thirty days. The Corporation Department immediately referred the matter to the Post Office Department and has received information that a number of complaints already have been lodged with the postal authorities concerning the operations of Berns and the Post Office Department has directed that all mail sent from the United States to Berns be returned from El Paso with the notation "Fraudulent, returned by order of the Post Master General." Commissioner of Corporations, Edwin M. Daugherty has issued a warning to the investing public to beware of all offers of securities or requests for money to be invested emanating from Mexico.
