CIVILIZATION The" palaces, tombs and pyramids of Egypt took heavy toll of the life and wealth of the country, and ruined Egypt. Rome fell after she had ruined her freeipen with heavy taxes to support the mob of citizens kept by a dole system, and to build her highways and public . buildings. An impoverished country side is a reminder .of the price exacted*, for the construction of many cathedrals io Europe. The revolution in France came when taxes broke the peasants, shopkeepers and artisans of France. Now the United Slates is about to be saddled with a debt vs $3,300,OOO.OOOfor public wmks, pot one of which .is self-liquidating. Postoffnes in Squirtvilles. dredging of rivers to float a .sc«>w w hich will be called the of some politician's fleet, or a colossal pile of masonry as" a monument to someone's vanity or’stupidity will be the type of public works that will be erected when the bill'at first called the National Construction Act, but now called the National Tax Bill is p.ssed , by Congress. Is the pine, million# annually for generations yet to come, exacted from people already overburdened with debt, worth the doubtful good that is expected from such a bill? MenZ many men are expected to be put to work on this public works pro* ject, but where is the real pint if the people are forced to save and skimp to pay f<»r some marble palaces that are not needed instead of buying something that private in/ dustry? produces? The power of taxation is the power to destroy. MAIN STREET A WHITTLINGS - Saturday and Sunday there was a difference in the? amount of traffic along Main Street and the roads around Lake Wakasee. Low, power* ful cars purred (silently around the coiners. A quickening in the busineks transactions has been reputed from everyone. Saturday night the streets were crowded, even tpe Salvation Army was here. Two hundred and twenty million dollars a year is asked of the country in taxes to pay the interest and amortize the 3 bill „ dred million dollars public works bill. But President Roosevelt is putting on this pressure to repeal the 18th amendment. He asked authority vs Congress to repeal, these special taxes in the event the prohibition imendmenl is repealed, declaring that revenue from liquor alone will be more than enough to take care of the expenditure which the tax otherwise will cover. - - edtheniaslei's touch, this * time touching the country's pocketbook. Will it go wet? We’re betting Yes. “Canadian SoHieis" <>r drakes made their appearance this, last week around the shores of the lakes. They only live long enough to mate, pro* * pogate their species and die. But what an annoyance they are while living, propogating and dying. The Gross Sales Tax is fast becoming a joke with the farmers and brings a laugh when a remark is made that farmers are required by law to keep an accurate sccount of all the money that they take in.

THB SYRACUSE JOURNAL

Rtm | Qg" gfl 3 The ft liowing article was prepared by a former resident of Sy.acuse, who asks that h*s name be withheld. It was written before Poesident Rootevelt’s radjo address on in- ; flation: The average individual is perhaps more or less hazy when it comes to (understanding the complex system < of money exchange and w hat is really back of our legal tender. | A two weeks bank holiday the ’ gold standard threatened and now finally we are off the gold stand rd. What about all this money business anyway what if we are off the gold standard! Let’s talk about the coin of the realm. What kind of money , have we and what is back of it? ; The gold dollar was our standard jof value. The silver dollar is not a * standard value but it does have fell legal tender quality so in reality .we w ere on w hat is known as a 1 limping standard. If silver and gold both were standards of value at the i ratio of‘l6 to 1 then we would have a bi-metallic standard and both gold ! and silver would be standards of 'value at the ratio of 16 to 1. ' Most everyone is familiar with the silver and' gold coins and they need i not be taken into discussion now. Our paper money, however, is perhaps more confusing. We generally speak of all of our paper money as greenbacks because of the color. The term greenbacks has its origin in the paper money issued during the Civil war. .This was what is known as fiat money—that is there was no gold or silver or collateral back of it at the time it was issued and its j guarantee to pay or redeem it at | some future time. • I All of our paper ’money ,is quite • the same in general appearance — that is green. The gold certificates perhaps may be more noticeable because of the yellowish tinge in the circle at the left side. Our paper money issues are as follows: Gold certificates, silver certificates, United States notes (originally called ’greenbacks), Treasury notes of 1890, Federal Reserve notes, Federal Reserve bank notes and National bank notes. Ask your banker for any of the above to look at. Os course , you know ’he may not be able to show you any gold certificates since they have been called in. Now what is back of this paper money that is what secures it? The gold certificates are secured 100 per -cent in gold. United States . notes [are backed by 40 per cent gold,, silI ver. certificates 100 per cent in silver, Treasury notes of 1890, 100 per I cent in silver. Federal Reserve notes are secured by 40 per cent gold and 60 per cent commercial paper. Federal Reserve bank notes and National i bank, notes are secured bv bonds, 100 per cent bonds of the United Stales government having the circu- ; lation privilege. If you should want I to i edeem this paper money you can get gold for your gold certificates- - ■ well, except in a depression like this, 1< you know the government is calling in both the gold and the gold certificates. Silver certificates me Redeemable in silver dollars. Treasury notes of 1890 are redeem- ' able in silver or gold. United States f notes are redeemable in gold. Fed- ■ eral reserve notes. Federal Reserve bank notes and Nation: I bank notes | are redeemable in lawful money at . any Federal Reserve bank or in go'd at the United States Treasury. The

silver dollar is not directly redeemable in gold and yet the Act of 1900 orovides for the Secretary of the Treasury to maintain our money on' a parity with gold. So in accordance with all the above you could * trade your money around so that > eventually you could get gold in I normal times. < If the stock of money in the ■United States is some i 9,000,0000,000 land if we have §4,000,000,000 of the . world's supply of §11,u00,000,000 in j gold it is not just clear hotv we can exchange all of our money for gold—j certainly if we all went to the Unit-j ed States Treasurer at one time we could not get gold for the simple; reason that a part is not greater than the w hole. It wvuld seem that the safety of the gold redemption l>es in the supposition that the people will not, all at the same time ucipaua goiii tor the other types of, money they hold. And so the ques-1 tion with the man in the street nat-, matly arises—why do we need any gold or silver after all if the theory ( is true only in supposition. The Federal Reserve anti national bank notes may have no gold of them and yet they seem to be quite acceptable as money or for the medium of exchange. The Federal Reserve notes are the elastic currency : of the country, contracting "hd ‘expanding in volume as needed. The next natural question pCi haps wouiu be that if all the above is true why cannot the government issue paper ! money as a medium of exchange, stamping the value represented as is done now, but have no gold, silver or collateral of any sort behind it? The answer to this would be that about every civilized country has 1 tried this very thing at some time ‘ in its history and always'in a time of distress and always ending in disaster. It must be remembered that ’ /not even governments can jusjt de-, J clare a piece of paper as worth so 1 much and then start the printing presses and turn out tons of money. It would seem too that if the Units ed States can be said to be worth | some 8300,0 W. 000,000 or $400,000.000,000 as some authorities claim. i that we ought to be able to establish some foundation other than gold . of which there is not enough in the ’ . world to begin with to back up the i monetary systems of the world. Still * the world goes on talking about gee-. i ting back to the gold standard and . ‘then if we look at the figures' quot- * ed we cannot just see how they ever i; really were at it or on it for the: a pas’ several years. Except in theory. 1 ' The gold standard alone has been > more satisfactory it would seem than i f’a silver standard. Gold being more ce than silver. its value has. ’ tended to be more stable. And > I therein lies a prob.lteni. Why should I a medium of exchange itself flue- 1 tuate. A medium of exchange should 'he something that would not flucg tuaie for if it does it ceases to be a e medium of exchange hut itself be- , comes just as much a commodity as e the thing it may be said to purch"se 5 1 Yes, our economists and text book; , writers tell us that money is a comf modity. Is. this clear reasoning? Is not gold a commodity when bought t to be used as filling for teeth? Then it is not a commodity when acting e as money or a medium of exchange. Perhaps it is monetary heresy to s talk such stuff as this. Well you know the atomic theory was a fixed e thing too. The scientists and those r who knew it all refused to admit i that there could be anything smaller than the atom and then one day j some scientist overheard some 250 ions -they had got together, formed a chorus and were singing: “There K now, don’t cry, we’ll be an atom f bye and bye.” We have believed to B be facts many things that have not o been and never were facts. Maybe it e would be a, good thing to try some other set of beliefs for a change if r 1 we have to continue to “Crucify B ourselves upon a cross of gold.” r s SERIOUSLY ILL. 1- .
