BY RICHARD sPlLLANE

of all evil Therefore, in curing the ills from which Russia suffers, Lenine proposes to abolish money.
 His method has the merit of novel, ty. He plans to make money so plen- tiful that it will be worthless The printing presses are busy turning out paper roubles as fast as men and ma chimes can print them.
 Other governments have made their money vaIueless, but not deliberate ly. Of comparatively recent time you could buy a s10 bill of one of. the Mexican governments for one cent and a S1O0 note for a nickel. In the closing days of the Confectionery S5OOO in paper money was paid for pair of boots and. at that, the seller of the boots got the worst of it.
 He'd Make Production the
 Measure of Reward
 When Lenine has flooded Russia with money so that its debasement makes it rediculous he plans to intro duce the communistic ideal of valua- tion the production of the worker be- ing the standard, the basis, on which all goods are to be measured. Land, mills. shops, everything being held in common he intends each worker shall be entitled to credit or reward accord ing to his product For days work a laborer in the field, in the factory, in the office shall have the equivalent in credit to obtain what he desires from the communistic store. For ex- ample: If a days work is establish ed as being the equivalent of 10 points the worker may get from any govern ment store articles aggregating in value 10 points. If he takes articles of a value of points there will re- main to his credit points. All prices are to be regulated by the government. No one is to be paid more for a days work than another person unless his production is great CT. A foreman or superintendent is to be rated the same as the laborer and receive the same reward. All per sons are to be equal. Only those who are slothful or who fall behind the established amount of a days work are to receive less than the common rate of pay or credit.
 It is the belief of Lennine that this system will stifle greed and end the exploitation of the common man by the clever or the crafty man and prevent the accumulation of power or wealth in the hands of the few. Hires Financiers to
 Worw Out His Scheme
 Believing the end justifies the means, he is employing the most skilIful of accountants and the most experienced of actuaries to work out the system by which it is to be oper- ated. These men are not of the Bol- shevist, but of the bourgoise class and their compensation, it is said, Is not based on the communistic rate but the old and abhorred one of paying a man according to his talents.
 What chance has such a plan
 as that of Lenine for success?
 NONE!
 1t is not new.
 1t dates back to prehistoric
 time before money, as we know
 money, was known and when men
 bartered things of which they had
 surplus, such as the skins of
 animals, for the things other men
 had and which they craVed or of
 which they had use.
 Because the method was crude 1t had to be improved. Something had to be introduced that would be a medium of valuation not only between one man and another man or one tribe and another, but between all. So a token-a metal token-which we call money came into use. And later, when man, in his enterprise, needed more in some undertaking than he actual money to purchase he pledged his good name or his reputation and so there came the institution we term credit
 Money, actual money, is metal. Gold, being rare, has been held in high esteem. Silver, being more plentiful, is rated lower.
 Today, if we had to depend upon metallic money alone in the transac- ton of the worlds affairs, there would be chaos. In all the world there is only $9,OOO, 100000 of coined gold or gold in bars. The amount of silver coined or in pigs is but S3,000, 100000, So, it is that if the coins or markers were to be used exclusively there would not be enough in the world to pay for much more than one-half of the farm products of America alone this year of 1919.
 Communism Won't Work
 in One Country Alone
 The worlds business is conducted on credit Superinimposed on the re latively small base of gold and silver is a towering structure of promise "a pledge in evidence of which a
