SOME STARTLING FACTS
ABOUT BANKS AND
THEIR MONEY
Labor Alone Produces Wealth


How is wealth produced? BY this
application of human labor to the
ram material furnished by nature.
There is no other way. Human en-
ergy of brain and Drawn creates and
| exchanges all the wealth in the world
and whatever taxes the means by
which wealth is created or exchanged
is tax upon producers and consum.
ers.
There are three taxes exceeding By
far all other taxes, which are paid
by consumers and producers, not to
the nation, state, county, city or the
school district-but to private indi-
viduals and corporations.
These three are Rent, Interest and
Profit.
1t is direct contradiction of the
principles of the modern states that
private individuals and corporations
should possess the privilege of assess
ing taxes upon production and con
sumption. In time these privileges
will be abolished as privileges Of q
similar nature have already been abol
ished.
1t is self-evident that interest is a
direct tax upon the consumer. 1t in
creases the cost of living. Every
merchant, manufacturer, railroad
manager, mine operator, farmer and
stockman adds the interest he pays
for the use of his credit to the selling
price of his goods. More than this
he also adds the current rate of in
terest on his investment" much Of
which is as fictitious as the money in
the bank vaults.
A FEW QUESTIONS
Why are bankers entitled to inter
! est on money that does not exist? Ant
if it exists, does not belong to the
banker? Why should business mer
of all kinds not get interest on theil
investment, real or fictitious?
To answer these questions fairly
and intelligently, the arbitrary, i'm
moral, anti-social nature Of interest
must be understood.
All commodities have tendency tC
decrease in value with age. Grain
grows musty, cloth moth-eaten, houses
grow old and weather-worn. 1t costs
labor and material to warehouse mer
chandise and preserve it until used
This is a law of nature.
The money" of today is superior
to the ordinary laws of nature. 1t is
creation of arbitrary man-madc
law 1t grows not musty; moths eat
it not; it costs nothing to warehouse
it. On the contrary, the owner, OF
pretended owner, gets interest on it
say, at per cent. annually. This
means that in fourteen years, if he re
invests the interest, he will double
the amount of his holdings without
having done an hours work; without
creating a single useful thing.

WORKERS PAY 1T ALL

This process goes on day and night.
in good times and hard times and
means, in plain practical terms that
the workers of the world pay once
every fourteen years, all the invest
ments, fictitious and real, all the
bonds, watered and sueared, all the
borrowed" money, whether it exists
or not, and yet that they never get
any nearer to paying this monstrous
debt.
We do not claim that the national
ization of credit would emancipate
the workers from wage slavery. 1t
would destroy only one of the three
methods by which the owning class
exploits the working class.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
The sworn statements of the bank
ers of the national and state govern
ments disclose many startling facts.
First: The comparative amounts of
money in circulation-gold so, silver
40, legal tender notes 200, national
bank notes 80, checks, drafts, due
bills, etc., 94.10 per cent. (Comptrol
ler's report March 16, 1909
Observe that gold and silver COM
bined are only l per cent. of the total
circulation This fact disposes of the
intrinsic value" chestnut Modern
business has demonstrated that even
private checks and other evidence of
credit and debit (the two are always
linked together) are a better medium
of exchange than metal.
Note that 81 per cent. of the
money" in circulation is issued by
private persons and corporations and
that interest and exchange on this
vast sum, including legal money, is
paid to these private bankers and
financiers.
Second: Total amount of money in

Nora Talmadse, who is the star of "The Social Secretary" the Triangle Fire Arts release to he shown at the Arizona theater today. made her the atricai debut before an audience which paid one cert each fo rtickets.
 This, Miss. Talmadge says. occurred quite number of years ago, when she vas attending primary school in the place of her birth, Jersey City. At q very early age she developed de- sire to act. and these initial perform ances were given in tho cellar of her home, with shawls for stage gowns. Her mother always occupied a seat on a rickety chair in the front row, and q school chum sold tickets.
 Completing her education at Eras- mus Hall high school in New York. Miss Talmadge soon afterward sought a chance to work in the moving pie lures. She was not long in getting an opportunity tc play a small part and her advancement has been rapid. Like many of the big stars of the film world. she has never appeared on the speaking stage but has developed her talent solely in screen work.

In order to expedite matters. and after finding that there were too many horse drawn vehicles using Grand avenue to insure safety to the autos. it was decided early yesterday after q conference with the county supervisors and the city authorities. to route only horse vehicles on GranG avenue.
 Motor vehicles, motorcycles and eroplanes will have to eitner 90 C |, Central avenue to Mcdowell and thence west to the fair grounds or ort Van Bnren to Nineteenth avenue thence north to the fair
 It was thought at first it would be possible to send all vehicles out Grand avenue. but after one look at the stream of traffic on that avenue.
