Production of Gold Increases Across Major United States Districts
The United States shows rising gold output in Colorado, Alaska, and California with a total of $62,000,000 in the three districts for 1908, while foreign reports suggest similar growth. President Taft links high prices to gold production and questions if that alone explains today's cost of living rises.

Borah proposes $30 million revolving fund for irrigation projects
Senator Borah introduces a bill creating a $30,000,000 revolving fund to finish government irrigation works. It calls for 3 percent bonds repayable from the reclamation fund in 10 to 20 years. The irrigation commission has not endorsed the plan, promising a sharp policy fight. Borah argues public land revenues of about $9,000,000 yearly suffice to complete projects. The measure does not assume treasury appropriations for bond redemption.
