APPROPRIATION BILLS TO GET RIGHT OF WAY Main Item on Calendar for Next Week: Legislature at Halfway Mark. Halfway mark of the seventyeighth general assembly was ' reached today, with the legislature In recess until Monday. Limited by the state constitution to sixtyone days, the second half will be entered next week, with biennial appropriations lor all state activi- * ties the main item on the caicn- • dar. Major accomplishments for the first half of the session was the passing of the administration bill to give Governor Paul V. McNutt full control of all state activities except judicial and legislative. This act wgnt into effect late Friday when McNutt signed the enrolled act. Total of 522 propo;>od laws have been introduced in both houses, 201 in the senate and 321 in the house. Bills Pour In This flood of bills is contrary to pre-ession hopes of the administration that the assembly would consider only a few important measures ■find adjourn prior to the time limit. Another attempt to ease matters Ter delinquent taxpayers who own real estate is made in a bill introduced Friday by Senator M. M. Mahoney (Dem„ Indianapolis), and Senator E. C. Swihart Dcm., Elkhart). Beginning with property owners delinquent since the spring installment of 1932, and applying to all future tax-paying dates, county auditors would be empowered to accept promissory notes, payable in ten years and bearing 6 per cent interest, in full payment of taxes. Property as Security To enable the county to obtain funds, these notes would be trans- , Jated into bonds to be offered for sale to the investing public. Security for the bonds would be the property against which the taxes had bpen levied and against w’hich a tax Jien woud apply in case the notes were not paid. It is understood that Marion . county officials are in favor of the measure, claiming it would give relief to delinquents by allowing them to retain possession of their properties and at the same time allow the county to get cash on which to operate all governmental functions. In effect, the bill makes the county the banker for delinquent taxpayers on a 6 per cent interest basis. Proposal to create a state aeronnautics commission, based on aviation rules of the federal government, failed to survive in the senate, following a divided committee it port. Move Is Beaten Authors of the bill claimed that Indiana was backward in regulation of airplanes and pilots, but opponents of the measure argued that it would be "just another commission at the taxpayers’ expense.” 1 Motion to idcfinitoly postpone the bill was carried by a vote of 21 to 17. Thirty new bills were introduced in the senate Friday. Immediate repeal of the 50-ccnt” ' mortgage filing fee, imposed at last summer’s .special session of the assembly, was among the new bills introduced. House members Friday were treated to the unusual spectacle of Speaker Earl Crawford leaving his platform to speak on the floor for a Connersville school bond bill. Urging that attention ‘be given him only as a representative from Wayne county, and not as Speaker, Crawford supported the bill which would let Connersville issue $100,090 in bonds to continue operation of its schools. Crawford warned the house not To "allow a few narrow-minded leaders of the Hoosier Taxpayers’ Union to tell you what to do.” The jmeasure was advanced to third 'reading. Have Sport With Cain The house had a little fun with Representative Pat J. Cain <Dem„ Ft. Wayne', on his bill to allow Indiana bakers to bake twentyounce loaves to compete with products in surrounding states. More than fifty members voted vno” on roll call as Cain’s Irish Taee became almost purple. Practically all the dissenters changed their votes before the roll call was announced, however, and the measure passed by a vote of 75 to 2. House Judiciary B committee has recommended an amendment to the motor truck regulation bill, exempting farm co-operative organizations. . The measure, said to be a compromise between the truckers and Lhe railroads, provides for licensing ;of trucks by the public service comSnission, defines common carriers '•*nd contract carriers, and calls for k $1 fee from persons seeking permits from the commission .

MILLIONS LOST BY INFLATION

Lesson of Revolution Ignored by Leaders in 1861-65

Thi i thr Ifth of ori of arficlo* in which Earl Sparlin* presents a hithlight hbtorv of inflaton. BY EARL SPARLING Time* Staff Writer lONG-HEADED MEN tried to prevent fiat money in the northern states in 1862. They thought to remind congress of what had happened with such money in revolutionary days, and were shouted down for their lack of patriotism No worth a Continental? Shame! That proud money had bought freedom and was "soaked with the blood of a nation.” As Pclatiah Webster had foreseen in 1791, when he set down the ills of his time, future generations would need his warning. ’ Many thousand families of full and easy fortune,” wrote Webster of the Continental money, were ruined by these fatal measures and lie in ruins to this day without the least benefit to the country or to the great and noble cause in which we were then engaged.” The Continental congress issued $241,000,000 of fiat money, to which the states added 5210.000.000 more—s4sl,ooo,ooo in all. By 1780 the Continental issues had so depreciated that “r.ew tenor” bills were issued at the rate of one to forty. Within a year the ’ new tenor” had depreciated to four to a silver dollar. The old bill circulated at 500 and 1,000 to a dollar, what remnants of the Continental money were not burned or used to;

paper barber shops finally were redeemed in 1790 at a penny on the dollar. The loose banking that had sprung up in the states continued, however. Paper money was issued against anything. A bank failed in Rhode Island, for example, with only SB4 of specie against SSBO 000 of issued paper money. But the men of 1862 were not listening. They had a war to win. So, in February of that year the first $150,000,000 of greenbacks as issued in the northern states—a pure flat money, acceptable at par on government bonds but not redeemable in specie. Additional issues raised the total to $346,681,000. The money began depreciating two months after the first issue. By July 21, 1862, it took $1.20 of paper to buy $1 of gold. Two years later a dollar of gold cost $2.03 in paper. Prices of food, clothing, and other commodities went up wuth the gold. A barrel of flour that cost $8.25 in 1860 cost $16.25 in 1866. A pound of 17-cent butter cost 55 cents in 1865; an 11’^-cent pound of coffee, 43 cents. At the peak of the movement a paper dollar was worth about 35 cents. Some of the rise in prices and the depreciation of money was due to the war, of course, but the train of consequences lasted until 1879. tt a a AS was suggested earlier in these articles, every' man wants to know- what inflation will mean to him. The green back inflation, within reach of modern economic method, offers the best chance of finding out. What does inflation mean to the man on a wage or salary? A table compiled by Dr. Richard T. Ely in "Outlines of Economics” shows that in 1883, when the average retail price of twenty-one commodities had increased 31 per cent, the average wage had increased only 4 per cent. The workingman was 27 per cent behind in the race to keep up with the cost of living. In 1865, when retail prices reached a peak of 119 per cent above 1860, the average wage had increased only 55 per cent. The working man was 64 per cent behind. The employer was paying him a $1.55 dollar; the grocer and butcher were demanding a $2.19 dollar. What does inflation mean to the employer? Well, the employer had all the best of it until 1869, when wages and retail prices reached an equilibrium, the retail index standing 79 per cent above. But. from 1869 retail prices slowly declined each year. They stood at 151 in 1872, when wages stood at 185. Retail prices stood at 140 in 1875; wages at 163. And finally when the government resumed specie payments Jan. 1, 1879, and made the paper dollar worth 100 cents in gold, retail prices still were 23 per cent above 1860, but wages were 39 per cent above. What does inflation mean to the wholesaler? In 1864 wholesale prices were 125 per cent up. when retail prices had advanced only 115 per cent, and wages only 42 per cent. In 1865 wholesale prices again had the advantage. 124 per cent against 119 for retailers and 55 for j workers. tt a tt BUT from that time on. wholesale prices were constantly at a lower level than retail prices. 144 compared with 155 in 1871; 134 compared with 140 in 1875. And in 1879, when retail prices still were 23 per cent up. wholesale prices were 7 per cent lower than in 1860—7 per cent minus. What inflation meant to shortterm debtors is apparent. A man who borrowed SIO,OOO in 1860 could pay it off in 1864 wuth SIO,OOO in greenbacks, which were worth less than $5,000 in real money. That taught large creditors a lesson. Most of them would not get caught such a way today. W. lan Mack has pointed out recently that of the $108,000,000,000 private and commercial debt now standing, probably three-fourths is payable not in dollars, but in gold of specified weight and fineness. Debtors required to pay this in gold would be hurt by inflation. Such a debtor in 1864 would have had to pay $20,000 for every SIO,OOO borrowed in 1860. It can be noted 1 that most of the government’s bonded indebtedness is payable in gold. Dr. Ely sums up what inflation

meant to the federal government after the Civil war: "The government was forced to sell bonds for depreciated greenbacks, but to maintain its credit it had to pay the interest and ultimately the principal of these bonds in gold. "Supplies for the army were paid for in depreciated greenbacks, but these greenbacks had to be ultimately redeemed in gold. It has been estimated that the use of the greenbacks increased the expense of the Civil war by nearly $600,000,000.” What does inflation mean to the rich man? Back in the 60’s and 70's some of them got richer. Long before the poor man knew his paper dollar was becoming more valuable, the rich were out accumulating greenbacks toward the day when the government would redeem them in gold. Many American fortunes were founded in those years leading up to 1879 and redemption. tt a tt DEPRECIATED money and the chance of reaping unearned profits from the less shrewd resulted in all the phenomena noted by Webster and Ramsay a century earlier. “Everybody made ventures,” writes Medberry. "Gold was the favorite with the ladies. Clergymen affected mining stocks and petroleum. Lawyers had a penchant for Erie. Solid merchants, preferring their customary staples, sold cotton and corn for future delivery or bought copper and

Roosevelt Is Real Favorite With His Grandchildren

Youngsters Show Family Traits—lndepend-

ence and Love of Sports.

Dii Scrii>i>x-ff i> iranl .Y rwsfiaprr Alliance WARM SPRINGS, Fpb. 4. —President-Elect Roosevelts's grandchildren show the same independence of spirt and love of sports that were so manifest around the White House when another Roosevelt lived there twenty years ago. Anne Eleanor. 50-year-old daughter of Anna Curtis Dali, spends a great deal of her time on a pony at the Hyde park estate. As she rides triumphantly around the grounds, her 20-year-old brother. Curtis, toddles after her. He calls her "Sistie.” and she calls him ■Buzzie”—names generaly given them because that is the way they first pronounced their own nicknames. Like her father, little Anne is a great swimmer, though "Buzzie” Is not beyond the paddling stage.

They exhibited their kinship with the Roosevelts when a photographer sought to take their picture. After standing around impatiently for a while, “Buzzie” spoke up. "Don't want my picture taken,” said he. “Sistie” looked down at him, then chimed in: “I don't blame you. Buzzie.” And They’re Stubborn Too With that, she clasped his pudgy hand tightly in her own, and they paraded out of the room. Again revealing a quality noticeable in their distinguished grandfather—stubbornness—they refused to return.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Jim Fisk salt on margin.” Until finally, a man for the times, Jay Gould, laid his dark scheme to corner the free gold supply of the nation. * That scheme involved wholesale bribery of any one close to President Grant, that the general might be persuaded not to sell any of the government’s $100,000,000 of gold and thus break the market. With the nation on a paper standard. gold had. of course, become a commodity. Merchants needing it to meet their exchange bills abroad had to go into the open market and buy it with greenbacks at whatever inflated price the holders demanded. During the later months of 1869, Gould bought millions of dollars worth. The floating supply was estimated at about $20,000,000. i It was within the power of a small group of men to corner the market. provided the government did

They monopolize his lap when he ; is around, sometimes embarrassing ! some of his stiff and dignified political visitors by their attentions.

Sarah Delano Roosevelt, the daughter of “Jimrme and Betsy” i Roosevelt, is only 10 months old. One Two Months Old William Donner Roosevelt, son ! of Elliott and Elizabeth Roosevelt, is only 2 months old. William Donner Roosevelt arrived just in time to give his grandfather and grandmother some human publicity. It was shortly after Mr. Roosevelt's election that a call came to the executive mansion at Albany for the grandmother to hurry to the hospital in New York City where the new baby was about to be born. Rushing downstairs quietly so as not to aw’aken her husband, Mrs. Roosevelt discovered she did not have sufficient money to pay the 56.20 fare, including puliman. from Albany to the metropolis. So she borrowed the balance from Captain James Reidy of the secret service. Miss Gertrude Brown discussed the barter system beforp members of the Old Trails Unemployed council. 877 Collier stieet.

Jay Gould not release any from the treasury. The crash came on Black Friday, Oct. 4, 1869. Gold went up to 145, to 150, to 160. Then the government started selling. Hundreds of firms were ruined that black day, thousands of individuals. Jay Gould and his teammate, Jim Fisk, though their conspiracy had collapsed, were not ruined. Gould repudiated his brokers, refused to pay for purchases made in his name, was given legal sanction by the corrupt Boss Tweed municipal government and escaped with anew fortune. tt n AND America was to have an- j . other panic, even worse, before inflation had finished its work. On J Sept. 18. 1873, Jay Cooke, chief war- j time money lender to the govern- j ment, failed in Philadelphia, dragging thousands of business men. with him. Thirty-seven banks suspended the J next day. The New York Stock Exchange suspended trading for ten j days. "Widespread unemployment added j to the general distress,” writes Rob- j ert Irving Warshow 7 in “The Story j of Wall Street.” "Gradually, however, as the subsequent deflation corrected the financial balance, the i fury spent, itself. "It took more than five years, j however, for the country to recuperate completely, and only after dragging itself through this period of misfortune and misery did the ailing industrial and financial or- j gans of the country a.t last com- ; pletely resume their normal func- 1 tions.” Many a citizen will be surprise to j know that the 1862 greenbacks are still in circulation. Following resumption of geld payments in 1879, the government reissued the bills as fast as they came in. A fund of $150,000,000 of gold w 7 as j set up to pay whoever presented one : of the bills and demanded gold. The ! reserve fund is still ready. Look j in your pocket. The bills w'ith the j red seals are greenbacks. There are $293,884,718 of them outstanding in the public’s hands,; including 19.883,000 $2 bills. Next—Sparling will discuss inflation in Germany.

RECEIVER PAYS LAST DIVIDEND AFTER] 1 YEARS Dividends to Beech Grove Depositors Total 30 Per Cent. After waiting eleven years, depositors of the defunct Beech Grove State bank, which collapsed in 1921, have, been paid their last dividends, according to circuit court records. Receiver Charles W. Jewett will file his final report with Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox about Feb. 15, Charles O. Roemler, attorney for the receiver, announced today. The fourth and last payment of $5,250 to depositors was ordered Dec. 14. 1932. Roemler explained that law’ suits and appeals to the supreme court had delayed liquidation of the bank’s assets, which began with Jewett’s appointment, April 20, 1922. five months after the institution closed its doors. An attempt to avoid delay in other receiverships, under jurisdiction of his court, is being made by Cox. He has ordered all receivers to file monthly reports of their transactions. Records in the Beech Grove receivership show Jewett did not file any report between July 3, 1924, and May 6, 1929, although the court required current annual reports. Jew'ett and Roemler were allowed fees totaling $11,500, or more than one-third the amount paid all depositors by the receivership, according to court records. Roemler said the $40,000. paid depositors in four installments during the eleven years, equals a 30 per cent dividend.

IDOOBLE TAXES PARLEY OPENED IN WASHINGTON Hoover Tells Delegates That Solution to Problem Would Be Great Work. ! Dii r nited Pres* WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—A scien- | tific solution of the problem of coni dieting taxation would be "a dis- | tinct contribution to the efficiency I as well as to the economy of our | whole governmental system,” Presij dent Herbert Hoover told the Amer- | ican Legislators’ Association Friday | in opening its two-day conference here. The President spoke only briefly, expressing hope that the representatives of tw 7 enty-seven state governments and legislatures would “produce fruit fu' results in this | most important field of overlapping federal, state and local taxation ■ systems. "The depression naturally has made the nation urgently conscious of the tax burden, but the problem is much older than that,” said Mr. | Hoover. “The evolution of gov- | ernmental functions of municipali- ! ties, townships, counties and states, has led to haphazard developments of sources of taxation to support , these functions. “The result has been a perfect maze of overlapping, conflicting tax ! systems, with inevitable invasions by j one authority of tax areas properly I belonging to another authority.” BULLETS ROOT | TWO PROWLERS Men Flee From Garage as North Side Resident Opens Fire.
