ALDRICF7'S FZNANCXALsBLL PINK PEPSN
PRESCRIPTION FOR PALE RAILROADS


Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-There
will be much noise for the rest of
the winter about the Aldrich cur.
rency bill.
There is hard and fast bargain
between Aldrich, boss of the senate;
Cannon, boss of the house, and We
Need-theMoney Morgan, boss of
Wall st. The bargain stipulates the
passage of this bill.
The real intent of the bill is to
force a market for railroad bonds
and make people buy them whether
they want to or not. There is a
whole lot in the bill about other
bonds, but it's the railway article
that old DR.. Aldrich had in mind
when he wrote the prescription and
mixed the panacea for our financial
ills.
The Aldrich bill provides that
national banks, upon the approval
of the secretary OF the treasury,
may issue bank notes (money) on
United States government bonds,
state bonds, municipal bonds and
first mortgage bonds of steam rail
ways.
Before Aldrich wrote the bill he
went over to New York and spent
days in conference with 1.-The
street."
He found Wall ST. suffering from
an awful case of collywobbles. It's
"tummy" was full of green, undi-
gested securities. The printing
presses had run off tons of common
and preferred stock, first, second
and third mortgage bonds, to say
nothing of sporting edition Of
participating certificates now and
then. What you want is money!"
quOth good old DR.. Aldrich.
what we want is the awful
load off our stomachs. These undi-
gested securities. The people have
been unloading and unloading and
we mere had to eat our promises to
pay. About all the ex-lambs will
buy nowadays are first mortgage
railway bonds.
Now if we could pry all the first
mortgage railway bonds away from
the public it would have to buy
something else-second mortgage
bonds with a side dish of preferred
stock and once coaxed into the
market again the chomo business
might pick up
Easy said Doc, "you buy all
the first mortgage bonds yourselves
and then Common People will have
to buy the chromos,"
And so Sen. Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, father-in-law of John D.
Rockefeller jr., and co-grandfather
with OHM D. ST., of the heir-ap-
parent of Standard Oil, geared up a
new currency bill" When think
ing of the bill it is well to remem.
Der:
That it provides for $250,000,000
new currency to be based on gov.
eminent, state, city and railway
bonds.
That there are enough govern
ment bonds now to provide for that
much new circulation if the banks

COOK ROBBED
STEAK BURNED

From cooking juicy beefsteak
for himself, John Pope, night cook
at the Olympia cafe. Ell Bernard
St, looked up into the muzzle of a
revolver pointed toward him by the
larger of two unmasked men who
entered the restaurant at 2:10
o'clock this morning.
The man behind the gun then
told the chef to get busy and pass
over his cash. Pope protested that
if he left the range just at that
time the steak would burn.
LET 'er burn! If you don't quit
monkeying with that steak right
now I'll burn you little"
Yes, but man, postpone things
half minute till this steak Is
done"
"Nope,'
The highwayman then compelled
Pope to stand by and see his steak
burned to crisp while they took
their time, rified the cash register
and put some doughnuts into theiI
pockets. They secured SPAS in
cash. all the money the register
contained. Then they told Pope
they were sorry that the steak had
to burn, and left the place.
1t was three hours before Pope
notified the police and then it was
impossible to do much work, as the
highwaymen had too long start
Pope gave a minute description OF
each one, as he was allowed to
stand by and calmly survey them
while they worked.
Pope's principal concern was for
the safety of his beefsteak. and
when telling the story to the po-
lice today dwelt at length on the
fact that men should boldly enter a
restaurant and deliberately force a
cook to allow a good steak to burn.
