ty has had for fifty years.
He is a boss, a general, a commander,

a thinker and seems to have the know

man. Does this Usinger have all the
qualifications blended in his makeup to

the bridges that will last 100 years and
compare them with the old rotten wooden

nothing but a jack-knife to cut his road

A recent issue of a banker publication
gives the true key to the Aldrich finan-
cial scheme. It is to replace the present
circulation, based on United States bonds
with a circulation based on industrial
bonde. The beauty of this scheme would
be that eventually the credit of the ma
ton would become SO involved with the
trusts that it would be impossible for the
Government to act against the latter
without undermining the entire prosper
ity of the nation.
