Sound Money and Monetary Policy Debate At Large
A lengthy critique argues that the claim no one knows money is false and counters the idea of sound money with examples of gold standards and dollar devaluation. It contrasts Governor Smith and Hugh Johnson, defends recognized expert Sprague, and compares monetary measures to yardsticks and bushels, warning against arbitrary devaluation and market distrust. The piece weaves in personal observations and a travel memory, concluding with agricultural notes on irrigation in Plainview, Texas.

Radical county consolidation proposal stirs debate
The article discusses Senator Johnson's plan to scrap fifty five West Virginia counties and create fifteen new ones, sparking mixed editorials. It argues the idea is bold but too radical, doubts the chosen names, and suggests twenty five counties of about one thousand square miles each as a sounder framework while stressing care for regional sentiment. It ends with praise for Huntington lawyer John H Holt and a legendary Upshur banker noted for defending his bank during a robbery.
