general question of finance and currency in

This shall be used by each state

that is, in banking or let by
the state to individuals. Land shall be one

OF the state will be developed and it's wealth
increased to the benefit of every citizen.
Each state should set aside not less than 10
per cent. of its legal tenders to protect its
citizens against financial crises and
squeezes. With millions lent the states
would receive annually much interest with
