CHEAP MONEY

One thing that has to be given
up IL the idea that cheap money!
Is always good for business. Farm:
ers want cheap money. busine,c-
men want cheap money. stock
spectators want cheap money. IN.
o. 8. Treasury wants to float row,
eminent loans on cheap money. 40,
cialfsts, anarchists and old.line
greenbackers want very, very
cheap money. Everybody feels thai
when the money rate is showed nm
1t is an arbitrary damper on bros:
perity.
But we cannot have both a lou
rate on money and stable level Of
prices. We can have one or the
other-not both together for anv
length Of time. A low rate al
money means an inflated price lev.
Ell. A stable price level means .
huctuating rate Of discount. Thar
Is, the public must learn to look Fl
the price level instead of the bank
reserves, as their measure OF az;
pectation for rise or fall Of the
value OF money.
Now this fact makes me fse,
that mistake is made II We do
not fully explain to the public thu
power already exercised by the
bank rate and the Federal Reserve
Board and Reserve banks. Our
bankers and economists see the
bad use that is likely to be made
of political control Of banking and
currency and they try to make the
people believe that 30 intricate a
question must be left to experts.
AS a matter Of fact our present
methods encourage the very thins
we wish to avoid. We let every;
body believe that low rates on
money are necessary for prospect:
ty and then when bank reserves
run low on account of the effects Of
this belief, we are suddenly com;
PEELED to Jump the rates to pro;
tect the reserves. We get both a
cycle of prices and a cycle of bank
rates, whereas, II the public under;
stood that the rise Of bank rates
should not wait until bank reserves
are low. but the rates should bs
advanced several months ahead for
the very purpose Of preventing a
fictitious prosperity with it's in;
hated price level, then tho public
might be satisfied to support tho
administrative regulations which
raise the rates ct q time when
there seems to be no need Of doina
it.-John r. Commons, Uuiversity

THE GREAT SC0URGE
OF HALF TRUTHS
ey JOHN LAKEWOOD

ey JOHN OAkWOOO
"A soap-boxer pointed at . great
factory. "Who built that factory
'Workmen!" he yelled. who run
tile machines? Workmen! Who
get the profits? capItaIists!"
The soap-boxer told q half truth
that amounted to whole lie. HIS
listeners did not know that that
particular factory, typical OF thou
sands Of others, was a complete
refutation of the Lief only the
other halt Of the truth were told.
It is true the factory was capl.
talized--for million dollars. The
net profits gave annual dividends
o; s per cent, or $4,000. to the
stockholders. All that was true.
But It was also true that the
million dollar capital was divided
up into ten thousand shares Of
500 each. The ownership Of these
shares was distributed among
about one thousand people. Sew
eral hundred Of them were work
men in the factory. They were
saving out of their weekly wages
and buying shares on the Install
ment plan. They were Capitalists.
It was likewise true that shares
were also owned by workmen In
other factories, by clerical work.
ers and by small merchants. A
good many we're also owned by
widows and orphans whose mod
est estates had been wisely in.
vested for them by their bankers.
They were Capitalists.
It was also true that the factory
corporation had issued q million
dollars In bonds to raise funds to
buy the material and pay the
wages of workmen to build the
factory. These bonds were owned
as investments not only by per
sons Of wealth, but also by many
people of moderate means who
had saved out of their wages and
salaries. They were Capitalists.
And 1t was also true that out Of
receipts OF the factory, before a
cent was taken to pay interest on
the bonds, before a penny was
used to pay dividends on the stock.
D good many dollars were taken to
pay wages to the workmen.
The workmen were Capitalists,
too. They were investing their
strength and their talents and
their skill in the factory-they
were getting their dividends out
Of It's earnings as we'll as the
ltockholders and bondholders.
