I read it with great interest, and I simply wish to say that I think you ard on the right track, I wish that more newspaper editors could see the problems we are facing in the same light that you do. Sincerely yours, Jerry Vo or his, Congresman, nine-pow- tn'? must produce MONEY of the times. A greater need is the More money among people insure would medium of volume greater purchasing circulating pover, and greater purchasing power among the masses, would be a healthy wave of prosperity. To prove this we wish to cite readers to a bit of movie history When they decided to film the story of the notorious Jesse James the movie colony moved into the county where the principle scenes of the bandits career were laid. They found the people in that and adjoining counties as poor as poverty itself. There was no money there and the'dejfression had done its worst. The condition seemed almost hopeless. The fences were sagging, the lawns dying, the houses beginning to tumble and much of the land refusing to produce as once it did. Bacon and corn were about all the people had to eat. Half of the people were unemployed. The movie people came into that sparsely settled district with a quarter of a million dollars, remained a long time and spent very freely of the money. They employed every soul in community but one, who couldnt stay sober What a time it was for the people. Almost a millennial of prosperity. Every one had plenty of money and every one proceeded to spend it. Some fixed up their homes, painting, repairing fences, barns, etc. All bought clothing and dry goods, bicycles, cars, radios, etc., and business thrived as never before. It was the greatest season of prosperity and happines ever witnessed by these poor people. Thats what an increase in the circulating medium did. And that's what it would do for the whole country. If it was worked right every community could be always as prosperous asa movie colony. The circulating medium could be increased by remonitising silver, or by printing and distributing green back money like Abraham Lincoln did to help save the union, or by the General Welfare Flan now before congress. Why not? Why not? MONEY-MO- RE Relief. Reluctantly the avenge U. S. citizen admits unemployment and old age assistance have become permanent problems. Created by the New Deal, pioneering agencies to cope with these needs have worked too independently, PARIS often wasteful!?. Social security, There no longer remains doubt WPA, PWA, CCC and NYA all have argument a common denominator, but not unthat the French-Italia- n win supply Europe with its next cri- til this year haa anyone bothered to suggest It Headed by South Carosis. Prior to the Chamberla Sen. James F. Byrnes, a spe-lina's like looked it conversations dicFrance might have to face this tator threat alone, thanks to Britain's hesitancy over insulting Germany and Italy. But immediately after the conference British Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax left for Geneva where he met French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet It was authoritatively learned that Halifax assured Bonnet that England will go to France'a aid if she is attacked by any other country, including Italy. ... BIG GATES ON LITTLE HINGES By Joe Bush and Peter Spraynozzle As the 1939 legislature singsinto action there are many new names on the roll call. Some of the leaders and able debaters have been transplanted. Sen. Huggins of Weber is Pres, of t he Senate Sen. Holbrook has been transplanted to the Utility commission. Sen. Maw, always an interesting debater and an able leader, is somwhere but not in the senate Sen. Linstrom, able Carbon county senator, is n.it given to much talk or debate. It is said he speaks only ono language but can listen in many, one of the best listeners in the senate. He r members what he hears and has the happy facnlty of keeping to himself the things he wants to remember. i -- ding 23rd Legislature Talking about cutting off WPA employees.

The coooerative economy is already demonstrating its greater efficiency and morality p England the Scandinavian countries, the United States and elsewhere. There are in the process of growth in the United States three forms of economic organization which are destined to result in the lowering of the price level and three other economic organizations which will increasingly result in the raising of the pay level. Consumers cooperatives in the fields of distribution, production and services; cooperative fiance, such as credit unions; and public ownership of utilities act to lower, the price level.
