Senators Aldrich, Hale, Burrows,
Money, Flint and TaIiaferro, are
now members of the national
monetary commission at salaies of
$1,000. This is almost criminal
extravaganza. The work these
men will preform could easily be
done by the members of the senate

banking and currency. The money
used to pay the salaries of the
members Of the monetary commits.
sion does not come from Wall
