y Il CLAIMS

# 1880 #MW MM
Oscar Underwood has gained q
reputation for conservatism and care
fitness in statement that will stand
him in good stead at the present juno
ture of affairs, and which will go a
long ways toward reassuring his coun.
trymen.
There has been a continued effort
on the part of the enemies of admin
istration to create the belief that there
will be a serious deficit in the nation
al treasury as a result of the recently
enacted tariff laws, the income tax
law and other financial legislation.
So widespread has been the con
spiracy and so insistent have been
those who created the impression that
democratic legislation has been and
is disastrous to the country, that a
belief, even among democrats, is be
coming prevalent that conditions are
becoming dangerous and that the ad.
ministration measures are responsible
fer the alleged state of affairs.
Mr.. Underwood, in his place in the
house of representatives, on last
Saturday, took pains to make a clear
and concise statement of the condi
ton of affairs and utterly to refute
those who charge that this country
is facing a deficit.
Armed with a statement of the re-
ceipts and expenses from the treasu'
ry department, Mr.. Underwood told
the house that the receipts under the
Underwood tariff act, for the first
year would be 1888, 000, 900, as against
$724,000,000 for the year 1913 under
the Payne act. He declared that even
with the extraordinary expense OF
t~hirty-five million dollars on account
of the Panama canal, for this year,
yet at the end of the year the treasu.
ry would be in a good condition. He
stated that he could demonstrate that
in a normal year the receipts from
the income tax and the tax on cor
porations would reach the sum of one
hundred million dollars, more than
taking the place of any deficit arising
from the sugar schedules and other
schedules that were either lowered or
abolished by the Underwood bill.
Coming from Mr.. Underwood and
made under the circumstances as it
was, this statement will go far to-
ward restoring any confidence that
might have been lost as a result of
the aggravating and aggressive cam
paign TO discredit the administration.

rAE PRESIDENTS ELoouENcE

"An American woman" writing In
the New York Evening Post. pays this
fine tribute to President Woodrow
Wilson's el~oquence:
II think it was Seneca who said
that to be eloquent a man must say
what is noble and true and then let
the word be suited to the matter.
President Wilson's speech on
Memorial day at Arlington cemetery
was of this high order. 1t appealed.
with the courage OF a hero and the
truthfulness of a child OF God. to all
that reminds men of what should
unite them with God and each other.
President Roosevelt was a phrase
maker. His expressions easily took
their place in the current talk of the
day. The newspaper boys" took them
up with glee. He has enriched the
embryonic language OF the day with
phrases which, telling rs they are;
nevertheless smack of the sport and
the cowboy and lack the quality OF
dignity as completely as the bully boy
who turned them out and passed them
into current usage. President Wilson
is no phrasemaker. He is frequently
spoken of as a scholar, you hear his
speeches referred to as scholarly ut
terances," but they are something
more.
They are as free from pedantry as
they are from pose and showiness.
His language is so simple, so thorough
and so perfectly unself-conscious that,
as language, it leaves the mind dis
engaged and in full enjoyment of the
cleanness and clearness OF his
thought. The vehicle by which his
thought is carried to other minds
brings no flash of red wheels and
smart accoutrements. The trappings
of his thought are e%loquently incon-
~spicuous. The exalted sentiments and
ideas to which he gives expression
come with a gentle and far reaching
luminods=ess upon his hearers. They
do not crash with sudden splendor
and swaken the mind with an electric
~brilliance, but his eloquence Is of the
kindly light that leads and clears the
way of illusions and misconceptions.
We think the words of this American
woman are W II worth memorizing,
for, indeed. it is true that Woodrow
Wilson speaks with the courage OF
a hero, and the truthfulness of a child
CT God, to all that reminds men OF
what should unite them with God and
each other."-Savennah Press.

"PAY BACK DAY.

We have Mothers Day." Fathers
Day." Independence Day." and a
number of other days. A great num-
Der of cities have inaugurated a
Clean Up Day." Tampa has what is
known as Dollar Day." This is a
day when merchants sell goods never
exceeding a dollar in price. 1t is be-
coming a very popular day down here.
Out in Oklahoma an entirely new
day has been instituted. II is called
PAY Back Day." 1t is to be observed
each year some day in June the exact
day to be designated by the mayor.
Everybody in town who has borrowed
anything during the year and has fail
ed to return it, or something of that
kind, will be reminded of his or her
remissness and be expected to make
good"
The first Take 1t Back Day" was a
success. There vas the best of neigh
borly good feeling displayed, and the
postmaster is authority for the state
ment that the parcel post was invoked
to return things to people who had
moved away from the town.
Many persons who held grudges
took advantage of the good feeling en-
gendered by the day to make up"
again and several neighborhood feuds
YER ended.
One development was a campaign
against borrowing, except in cases of
necessity, the motto of those who be-
lieve in it being IF you haven't got il.
do without"
1t is a splendid idea of a day and
we hope to see a similar day inaugu.
rated in Ocala. A kind of day of ju-
Dilee when everybody forgives and
forgets, and starts life over again with
good will for everybody. Snakes even
strip themselves of their old sheds

VILLA TEACHES US A LESSON IN
THE MAKING OF MONEY

When Villa proclaimed himself mil
ftary governor of the state of Chihau-
hua he began the extraordinary ex-
MISUNDERSTANDING because he
knew nothing about it-of creating
a government for 100000 people out
of his own head. 1t has often been
said that Vile succeeded because he
had educated advisors. AS a matter
of fact he was almost alone. What ad'
visers he had spent most of thir time
answering his eager question and do
ing what he told. them.
There was the financial question. 1t
came to Villa in this way. He noticed
all of a sudden that there was nc
money in circulation. The farmers
who produced meat and vegetables
refused to come into the city markets
any more because no one had any
money to buy from them. The truth
was that those possessing silver OF
Mexican bank notes buried them In
the ground. Chihuahua not being a
manufacturing center and the few fac
tories there having closed down, there
was nothing that could be exchanged
for food. So, like a blight, the parafy'
sis of the production of food began all
at once and actual starvation stared
at the town populations. | remember
hearing vaguely of several highly
elaborate plans for the relief of this
condition put forward by Villas ad'
visers. He himself said: why ii
all they deed is money, let's print
some" So they linked up the printing
press in the basement of the govern.
or's palace and ran off two million
pesos on strong paper with Villas
name printed across the middle in
large letters.
This first issue of currency was
guaranteed by absolutely nothing but
the name of Francisco Villa. 1t was
issued chiefly tt revive the petty com
merce of the state so that the poor
people could get food. And yet almost
Immediately it was bought by the
banks of Ell Paso at IS and 10 cents
on the dollar, because Villa guaran-
teed it.
OF course he knew nothing of the
accepted ways of getting his money
into circulation. He began to pay the
army with it. Then on Christmas
day he called the poor people of Chi
huahua together and gave them SIS
apiece outright. Then he issued a
short decree ordering the acceptance
of his money at par throughout the

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

1t is the deliberate judgment of this
paper that the Fourth of July sym
bolizes more for the betterment OF
mankind than any day in the worlds
calendar of days. and more and more
deserves to be celebrated not only by
the inhabitants of the United States
but by the people of the whole earth.
1t was fortunate, indeed, for the
world that the leaders of public opin'
ion then residing in the colonies were
dominated by patriotism and not by
greed or selfishness.
The government that the fathers
founded On these shores has stood
the test of time. One hundred and
thirty-eight years have passed and the
government then established, which
has for it's foundation stone, "All
Rights for ALL" is stronger and more
popular today than at any time since
the Declaration of independence was
first promulgated.
The United States is the Statue
of liberty that is enlightening the
world" 1t is shedding it's rays to the
uttermost parts of the earth. More
and more the corner stone and sheet
anchor of its faith that imam is capa,
BILE of self-government" is finding
Judgment and taking root on every
part of Gods footstool. ,
The awakening in China and Japan
appears almost like a miracle. Every
nation seems destined to be baptized
at the fountain of liberty, and this
quest for the right of self-government
will not be quenched until it can be
truly proclaimed in this country and
in all countries that "All Rights
have been accorded to "All."
Revolutions never go backwards.
The fight is on. Autocracy is doom.
ed and democracy in it's fullest is go

And democracy in it's fullest means

GENERAL VILLAS METHOD o
MAKING MONEY

We reprint from Scribner's Maya
zine General Villas method of max
ing money. It was at a time when he
vas governor of the province of
Chihuahua, Mexico.
We hope that political economists
will pardon US for saying it, but &C
cording to u primitive and common
Ems way of thinking, the Mexican
general has them skinned a block on
money making.
What did General villa do? Why,
as soon as he found that the people
of the province Of Chichuahua had
no money and because of its scarcity
were on the verge of starvation, he
simply put his printing presses to
work and began making money as
rapidly as possible. He put his name
across it and guaranteed its payment.
He issued a proclamation command
ing that it be received at its full cash
value. Simple enough, wasn't it? Wen,
it was good enough, too, for flush
times Immediately followed and peo-
pie in the province of Chihuahua
quit starving.
What did Villas name across the
money so issued signify? 1t signifed
that his name stood for the govern
ment-that the government "a back
of the money he thus put into circula-
ton.
Was not that enough. to make it
good? If not, why not? The govern
ment possesses the taxing power and
as long as it possesses this power
the money that it makes ought to be
and is just as good as the government
itself. If the government goes to
pieces, then of course, it's money goes
to pieces; but as it holds together,
just so long will it's money hold to-
gether. In other words if the govern
ment is strong and stable the money
that is put in circulation, the more of
it that gets into the possession of the
people, the greater incentive they will
have to make the government strong
and stable-it is a good way to manu-
facture patriots.
The Confederate government could
not have moved hand nor foot if il
had not done like General Villa did,
put it's printing presses to work print
ing money. AS long as the government
held together the money passed cur
rent and if the armies had been vic
torious in the field and the govern
ment had been recognized as a sepa-
rate and sovereign commonwealth
every legitimate dollar that it issued
would have been redeemed at it's face
value for the government would have
possessed the sovereign taxing power
and armed with that power no govern
ment need borrow a penny.
Paper money is the only money
that should be recognized as money
of civilization-Villa is pat on the
money question.

S. W. Straus of Chicago has made
a tour of Europe to study the origin
and conditions which underlie thrift
among European peoples. He Is now
practicing the doctrine of the small
bond as a means of promoting nation
al saving. He urges county and mu-
nicipal authorities to subdivide their
bonds into small denominations and
sell them to the general public. This
would undoubtedly give a great impe.
tus to the general thrift. Hitherto II
has been the universal custom in this
country to issue bonds in denomina-
tions of $1,000. Only the rich can af-
ford to buy such securities. But there
are now various industrial corpora
tions as well as municipalities who
are selling bonds of $40, s35. $50 and
800 to the common people. The prac-
tice should become general in this
country.
