INFLATION OF THE CURRENCY The Government’s recent silver seizure act ostensibly for the purpose of nationalizing silver seems to be a confusing idea and is not generally understood. The act, together with Presidential proclamation, is intended to bring into the treasury of the United States within ninety days all the silver bullion in the United States, except that mined in this country since December 21, 1933 and that imported since August 9, 1934. It is estimated the supply of silver which will thus be acquired by the Government will be 260,000,000 ounces. The Government will pay 60 cents per ounce for the silver certificates to be issued at the ratio of $1.29 per one ounce of silver or an inflation of 79 cents. To be more clear a one dollar certificate will be worth only 40 cents in silver and if the holder of a dollar certificate should take it to the federal treasury and demand silver in lieu there of he would receive 40 cents. Thus it is seen the certificate is backed by 40 cents in actual silver and 60 cents in Government fiat. This is the inflatory feature of the act. The difference in the value of the certificate by Government fiat and the actual silver value contained therein is an absolute assurance to the Government that the entire silver supply in the United Stales will flow into the federal treasury and remain there unless the whole transaction increases the open market value of bullion Until it equals or exceeds the silver certificate value. Since it is estimated the silver supply which will be acquired by the government will be 260,000,000 ounces and since silver will be given a monetary Or certificate value of >1.29 cents per ounce regardless of iU market value of 60 cents per ounce the 250,000,000 ounces or >126,000,000.00 in market value will i — — l,l 1

give the Government wherewithal for issuing >326,000,000.00 in new paper money. Inflation of the currency is not being advocated by either of the two major political parties. There are vociferous critics fit inflation and advocates of inflation ifi both parties It remains to be seen if this question will become a partisan political question. History has shown us that partisans follow, endorse and defend the acts of the administration which was elected to office on the ticket supported by such partisans. This is usually true even though such administration, after gaining control of Government, might wander far from the established paths and fundamental principles of the party. History also records that this is especially true of the voters in the Democratic more than it is in the Republican party. As a rule Parisian democrats are prone to criticise a Republican administration even though the administration be sticking' close to the precepts and fundamentals of the party and they are frequently joined by republicans. But seldom do we find Democrats criticising their own party even though it may be in power and functioning entirely opposite to the principles of the party. As evidence of this fact we find Democrats, as a rule, as this time loudly acclaiming President Roosevelt not withstanding the fact that the President, by his own utterances and through the press, has declared the old principles of Democracy are no longer practical. The President by sheer force of will has established a new form of Government far removed from the form of Government advocated by those stalwart Democrats Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland and Wilson. If President Roosevelt is right then these old stalwarts were wrong. We now have a bureaucratic dictatorship far exceeding the fondest dreams of the wildest socialists of yesterday. It remains to be seen if the partisan Democrats will register their disapproval of this change of principles by their votes at the coming November election. Most certainly if they vote the Democratic ticket which will be an endorsement of the change from old fashioned democracy to bureaucracy they will establish themselves as members of the new Socialist party and disbelievers in the principles of old democracy as was advocated by 'the old patriarchs .of yesterday’s democracy. No doubt there are litterally millions of democrats who are pining for their first born kidnapped March 4, 1933.

REPUBLICANS START THEIR CAMPAIGN Hold Meetings and Two Banquets at SpinkWawasee Hotel. In a withering tirade which blistered thei Democratic party with expletives, etaphores and other figures of speech, Frederic Landis opened the State Republican campaign, in a dinner speech at the banquet of the Republican Editorial Association at the Spink-Wawasee hotel, Friday night. At the banquet Saturday night, Senator Arthur R. Robinson told the assembled editors, state Republican candidates and politicians what is wrong with the present administration and what the Republicans should do to correct the situation. These twelve points are: Return to constitutional government by elected representatives. Demolition of much of the new bureaucratic structure. Cessation of reckless spending on projects which give no real relief, but at the same time seeing that all unemployed are fed. Guaranty of freedom of speech Opposition to all forms of collectivism and radicalism. Modification of the securities act to encourage existing business and new enterprises. Modification of the NRA to better protect the consumer and small business man. Repeal of legislative powers granted the President. Stabilization of the dollar. Development of a* practical plan to extend credit to deserving industry. Fair treatment for veterans. Adherence to the general policy of keeping the government out of private business. Called Lunatic Asylum The dynamic Landis declared if the Republicans got into power, the first thing that they would do would be to dispense with the open air lunatic asylum—referring to the brain trust —which is in session in Washington at present—and that the Republicans would let the people manage their own affairs. He said that the present government at Washington is neither Democratic nor Republican, nor is it the government of the United States, ’ He declared it was a European government with a little of Stalin, a little of Hitler, a little of Mussolini, a little of spaghetti, a little of limburger cheese and a little of Cavier a la Newburg thrown in. Since the AAA has been in effect, the cows have been taught birth control, he claimed, the roosters must check in and. out night and* morning, and chaperons must be furnished brood sows on moonlfeht nights. Mickey Mouse. Referring to the Democratic propaganda that is being released over Democratic controlled radio broadcasting systems, Landis referred to the radio as now an “ecstatic Mickey Mouse dripping drivel to the public” Landis also claimed that the New Deal is being repudiated by the great Democratic leaders, and mentioned Glass, Byrd, John W. Davis and Al Smith. He also said that the administration has adopted the idea that the ruling house is inviolate, that-it can do no wrong, and must not be criticised. Don Irwin, Republican state chairman, before introducing the speaker at the banquet Friday evening waved a fly sprayer in the air and told the editors that “Six months ago when you last gathered you gave out wooden guna for banquet favors. From wooden guns to insecticide guns in six months is great stride in the progress which the McNutt administration claims that it is making for the taxpayers. Paroled Dillinger. “The parole of John Dillinger by Governor McNutt cost the nation millions of‘ dollars and no few lives. A mere >6,000 out of the state’s money into the McNutt family purse for insecticides is another “great reduction in the cost to the taxpayers” which the Governor may now claim. Irwin was referring to the Cantol Wax Company which has been doing a steady business with the state during the past year, selling institutions, insecticides, floor wax, etc. Henry T. Timolat, president of the company is father-in-law of the governor; John C. McNutt, secretarytreasurer, is father of the Governor; Kathleen T. McNutt, a director, is wife of the Governor; Anna C. Rupley, a director is a sister-in-law of the Governor; Hayden H. Allen, a director is a Martinsville friends of the Governor. — - Q The man who could “take it or leave it alone" was a proud mortal, but now the man who can take it and stand alone is an object of envy.
