Show BUSINESS MEN AGREE TO USE ONLY SILVER; ABOLISH CURRENCY Several suggestions for the betterment better-ment of silver conditions in the state were presented by E. F. Nolan to the Milford Lions at their luncheon meeting meet-ing yesterday noon. Acting on the suggestion of Mr. Nolan, the Lions voted to write the district governor of the club, Guy S. Richards at American Fork, and ask him to urge the Lions Clubs of Utah to suggest to their members that they demand silver dollars rathei than paper pa-per from the banks and merchants with whom they trade. The local lions pledged to assist in abolishing the use of paper dollars in crade. That is; the local merchants will receive paper dollars from their customers but in giving out dollars in change will use only silver. In addition, the lions agreed that each would buy ten silver dollars at the bank and take these out of circulation cir-culation for a year. The object is to force greater use of silver, increasing the demand and in so doing forcing the silver market up to a point where the Utah mines can open and operate on a profit. Another feature of the meeting was the reading of current events by Dr. Lloyd F. Kohler. Myron Lewis was appointed to read current events at the next meeting. ' Leo D. Epstein, a Los Angeles at-I at-I torney, was a guest at the meeting. |
