Theoretical Dollar

The term compensated" or "sta-
bilized dollar" was coined by Prof.
Irving Fisher of Yale in his book,
"Stabilizing the Dollar" It is a
theoretical dollar having con-
stant purchasing power. The theory
of the compensated dollar is to con-
vert the present gold standard into
a true. commodity standard-that is,
to standardize the dollar as unit
of purchasing power. Thus, there
would be gold dollar of constant
purchasing power with varying
weight instead of : gold dollar
of standard weight andSvarying pur-
chasing power. ~ RI @ss :.

President Hoover Will
Receive Minnesota Turkey
Finest Bird in Arrowhead to Be
Sent to the President for
Thanksgiving

Duluth, Oct. 29.-President Hoov-
er may eat Minnesota turkey
Thanksgiving day.
This was made known in let
ter from George Akerson, secretary
to the president, to the Minnesota
Arrowhead association. Mr.. Aker-
sons letter said:
"The President will, of course, be
glad to receive Minnesota tur-
key" N
In the proffer of the Arrowhead
association of a turkey to the Pres
ident, George, A.. Perhann, executive
director, wrote:
"It is the more fitting that Pres
ident Hoover, first of the presidents
to be really aware of the west,
should on this peculiarly American
festival give the place of honor
commonly reserved to this pecul-
iarly American bird, to turkey
raised where turkeys are turkeys.
"You know, Mr.. Akerson, that
Minnesota's broad and fertile fields
can produce specimens of this mo-
blest of fowls that could scarcely
spread their wings and display their
magnificence of tail feathers in the
confines of Rhode Island, some
time famed for turkeys, and of a
succulence not to be achieved on
New England's scanty forage"
The idea of sending a turkey
raised in the Arrowhead country to
the President originated in West
Duluth where group of business
men were discussing the new tur-
key-raising industry of the Arrow
head country. A committee will Sc
lect the finest bird produced in the
Arrowhead country this year, to
send to the President for his
Thanksgiving dinner.

Senate Resolution to Make
1000, 900 of Surplus Avail
able Not Acted On.
FURTHER OPPORTUNITY
LIKELY THIS SESSION
Saving to Taxpayers Had Been
Expected in Passage of Meas
ure Before Recess.

Action by the Senate on the resolu-
ton to make $4,000 900 of the Dis
trict's surplus revenues available to buy
land for the municipal center develop
ment north of Pennsylvania avenue
was delayed yesterday. when Senator
Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina,
objected to unanimous consent for its
immediate passage.
The resolution, which passed the
House Friday, was reported favorably
by the Senate appropriations committee
yesterday afternoon. When Senator
Blease objected to its passage at the
time 1t was reported, it was placed on
the calendar. 1t is expected, however,
there will be further opportunity to
consider the measure at the present ses-
sion. After there had been a brief dis
cussion of the question Senator Blease
said:
Let that go over until Monday. I
object"
S3,O0O,O0O From Surplus.
In the debate which took place yes
terday Senator King, Democrat, OF
Utah, asked Chairman Warren of the
appropriations committee whether the
measure should go to the District Of Co
lumbia committee.
Senator Warren explained that the
$4,000, 900 is to be paid out of the Dis
trict's surplus, $4,000 of it to be avail
able for immediate or early use. Senator
Bingham, Republican, OF Connecticut,
who has charge of District appropria-
ton bills In the upper branch, also
explained that the bill authorizing the
municipal center development was ap-
proved by the District committee in the
last Congress and enacted into law.
Senator King said he knew the mat
ter had been before the District COM
mittee, but was not sure 1t had been
definitely agreed as to the amount TO
be appropriated.
None Federal Money.
Answering a question by Senator
Mcclellan Democrat, of Tennessee, Sem
ator Bingham emphasized that this ap-
preparation comes entirely out OF the
city's funds-money now in the Treas
ury to the credit of the District. None
of it Is Federal money, he said.
The municipal center project contem-
plates purchase ol the area pctWech
Third and Sixth streets, Pennsylvania
and Louisiana avenues to meet the
housing requirements Of the District
government.
In seeking to have the Districts sur
plus tax money made available at this
session to expedite acquisition OF the
property, those in charge of the meas
ure felt it would result in a saving to
the taxpayers. Another reason for
seeking early action is that several
agencies of the District government
must look for ONCE accommodations in
the near future. and 1t was felt that
some of the buildings already existing
In the municipal center area could be
utilized pending the time when new
municipal structures are to be erected.
