In Canada , dollar is worth only 96 cents. In other words if you purchase a dollar article you must pay $1.04 in American money. The situation certainly should impress the average American of the danger wq are in in relation to our monetary affairs. The Cincinnati Enquirer has the following to say on the Canadian situation: “It seems as if the Canadian hotels and storekeepers took a malicious delight this summer when American visitors put down a dollar in saying, “Good only for 96 cents.” Fpr years we were able to exchange United States dollars for a dollar and ten cents in Canadian money—once for as much as one dollar and twenty-three cents. Now the shoe is on the other foot, Canadian money is worth more than ours. And the Canucks have the keenest relish in rubbing it in. “One of the standing grievances of Canada in the past was that our money was good everywhere in the Dominion. Of course, the Canadians were glad to get it. Each summer we spent millions with them. Yet, whep they crossed the border, no one would touch Canadian currency. If a Canadian went with his money to any Cincinnati store and offered Canadian currency in payment for his purchases the chances are that he would be told to go to a bank and get his money exchanged, Yet in Quebec, Montreal, Toronto or Winnipeg American dol­ lars up to this year, have been taken as a matter of course. “They still are taken, but only at 96 cents. All of which is rather a jolt to our pride.” While the Enquirer comments on what might be consider­ ed an injury to American pride, we are surprised that it has not given the public the reasons why our money has been depre­ ciated. During the Bryan presidential campaign, and the “Sixteen to One” campaign the Enquirer, although a Demo­ cratic paper, refused to support the Democratic nominee. In recent months it has at times disagreed with the present ad­ ministration on financial affairs. The quoted reference to our depreciated dollar and the injured pride we might have are all ■ the result of the policy of the present administration.

People who bor­ rowed the money must expect to re­ pay it.” 1 Koto! Chittenden *The best story we have read of the extent to which the code idea is be­ ing tried comes from Spencer, Iowa. Sam Damni is building a house on his own farm, with his own money, and hiring what labor he needs. Last week he received a letter from the building code, that before he can pro­ ceed farther he must send ,thc code authority a check for one-tenth of one pel- cent of the cost of the project. In the letter Damni was informed thnt the code was federal law and viola­ tion brought penalties of six months in jail and-or $500 fine for each day the code is violated. The notice was signed by O. W. Crowley, Secretary, Diclccns, Iowa. How proud the Blue Eagle must flutter to Iowa citizens. Florida will soon vote on a proposi­ tion that certainly will attract the at­ tention not only of her own citizens, but those in every state in the Union. The Miami Herald is taking the lead in urging the adoption of a change in the constitution that will exempt, if approved by the voters, every prop­ erly occupied by the owner as a home, from taxation, providing it has a tax­ able value of $5000 and less, Florida suffered much when the prosperity bubble burst in that state. Millions During the past primary campaign a letter was published over the sign­ ature of Harve Crabbe, London, charg­ ing his fellowtowhsman, as publisher of a Democrat paper, and yet a can­ didate for state central committee­ man. At that time Howard was serv­ ing on the Madison County Republi­ can executive committee by appoint­ ment of Crabbe. We notice by the Madison Press that both have been hamed on the Republican committee again this year. Its rather odd that Crabbe would serve with his “Demo­ cratic Publisher” neighbor.
