Secretary of the Treasury of the United States
to have engraved and printed q sufficient
amount Of full legal tender Treasury notes to
pay in full all adjusted service certificates OF
the World War veterans at their face value as
of 1945
''The sum Of 49, 400 900 900 in full legal ten
der Treasury notes (greenbacks) paid to the
World War veterans at this time would be like
a weeks rain in the drought-stricken areas"
Mayor Coxey declared.
"It would thaw out the frozen credit-mer-
chants notes-now held by banks that are still
breathing, and restore or bring back to life
those banks that have lost their breath. 1t
would be taxless and costless to the Govern
ment except for the printing. 1t is needed
badly at the present. OF course, then, for per-
manent relief turn to The Big Idea Of nom
interest bearing 25-year bonds.
M INDER my plan, or the Big Idea" Mayor
~ Coxey explained "any State or its sub
divisions could deposit with the Federal Gov
ernment bonds in the denomination of the
amount of money necessary for public i'm
provements or other public needs. They would
receive in return from the Federal Government
money for the face value Of the bonds less l
per cent, which would be deducted by the Gov
ernment to cover the cost of paper, engraving
and printing. The bonds would be made pay
able at the end Of q 25-year period through
taxation in the community from which they
issued to the extent of per cent of their
face value per annum"
The international debt question Is another
financial difficulty which is facing the world at
the present time. President Hoover has offered

cent of the principal annually the money
used for public improvements and needs which
would put the Nations unemployed back to
work That is the idea-"the Big Idea'-of
Gen" Jacob Sechler Coxey, sr., who is still
carrying on his campaigning for this measure
after 81 years.
Tunes have changed but business conditions
vary little from those of 1894. when the ven
cradle general with his tiny band made that
memorable march from Massillon, Ohio, to the
steps of the Nations Capitol in Washington.
Gen" Coxey has been marching through
the pages Of history. After 81 years of ridicule
by the Nation at large and scofing and
laughter at his ideas by the people of his home
town, he Is now no longer Gen" Coxey, but
Mayor Coxey of Massillon.
He was elected few weeks ago by one of
the largest pluralites in the history of his
home city, and all because the people of his
community, driven to despair over present busi-
ness conditions, hope for relief in the
plans and ideas of their 77-year-old mayor.
THE generals" sole platform throughout his
entire mayoralty campaign was:
First. A bond issue of 5000 900 on the CITY
of Massillon, bearing an interest rate of one
tenth of l per cent Or l mill per annum in
the denominations of 25 and so cents, ST, S.
and $40 Four per cent to be collected an
nually through taxation to be applied on the
principal Oh Lne DOnQS. Inc DOnQS tnen them-
selves would be used to furnish and pay for
work through public improvements, or to make
loans without interest to the unemployed of
Massillon who are of good character and who
have been residents of the city for a period
of at least six months.
Second. Municipal-oWned public utilities.
In these present times Of business depression
the Nations leaders attempting to find a
solution for the problem which would return
the country to normal. Mayor Coxey in his
election platform outlined plan which he IN
tends to install within his own community and
which he asserts could be adapted to any mu-
nicipality in the United States.
Get the Nation back a money basis, in
stead OF the extensive credit system now In use,
but which has collapsed, and abolish interest,
Is the Coxey plan to relieve depression.
The Government must function for the peo-
pie instead of for the banks and Wall Street.
The Government must furnish money at cost
for the peoples needs" Mayor Coxey declares.
III IOW do present conditions compare with
those of the time when you made your
march to Washington in 1894?" Mayor Coxey
was asked.
Conditions in 1894 were not so bad as those
at present. the general recalled The Ma
tion'S credit at that time had not been ex-
panded as in the last few years. The stock
market had not been overinfated as to value.
The credit installment purchasing system with
its too-high interest rates, had not been put
into existence and banking was done in diff
ferent manner.

the moratorium, while Mayor Coxey has still
another plan.
Under provision of the section of the Con-
stitution which provides Congress with power
to coin money and regulate the value thereof
Mayor Coxey suggests collection Of the for
eign debt in place of moratorium by those
nations that are indebted to the United States
to the extent of nearly $4,000, 900, 900.
Mayor Coxey suggests these nations authorize
the issuance of full legal tender money-similar
to that of the United States-to the amount
of their Indebtedness to u.s. which they shall
tender to the Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States in payment of their debt
| EFT us go back into Coxey's life and see how
l. his ideas on the money question7were To-
mented.
Like Abraham Lincoln, Gen" cSxey was
born in log house-not in the wilderness Of
Kentucky, like Lincoln, but in Selingrove
Snyder County, Pa, and on Easter Sunday,
April 16, 1854.
When only lad of 6 his parents moved to
Danvile, Pa, where he received his first school,
ing. On finishing school he went to work IN q
foundry and finally became q stationary engi-
neer in rolling mill in that community.
1t was during his service as an engineer that
he had considerable time his hands and
he became interested in the money question,
which was of the leading topics of those
set out into business for himself and became
interested in the scrap-iron industry. 1t vas
this business that took him to Massillon, Ohio,
He liked the community so well that he stayed
and purchased stone and sand quarry. He
was In the sand and gravel business there until
the Spring of 1929, when he sold his interests.
1t was while driving back and forth over tho
poor roads between Massillon and his home, flvo
miles north, that he thought of the idea tha1
the Nation as a whole should have better
road system. At that time there were nearly
100000 unemployed and he thought it would
be good plan to put these unemployed to work
by building up Nationwide road system.
At the worlds fair in Chicago in 1898 he met
Carl Browne and interested him in his good
roads idea
Browne was cartoonist and lecturer Today
we would call him good publicity man. Coxey
induced Browne to return to Massillon with him
and 1t was one day in the Fall of 1893 that
Coxey suggested to Browne the idea of making
the march to Washington after Browne had
told stirring tales of marches he had made on
the West Coast
The preliminary details were worked out dur
Ing the Winter months and the day set for the
start, Easter Sunday, March 25 1894 near
Coxey's fortieth birthday
The day dawned cold and dreary anything
but ideal for country jaunt on foot for
matter of several hundred miles The small
band OF SO followers of Coxeys army" which
had been gathered together got under way at
noon, accompanied by 35 newspaper men The
remainder of the march on Washington is a
matter of history
BY the time the "army" reached washington
1t had swelled to 900 participants and other
groups were crossing the continent from all

ARTICLE No. 81

In any discussion as to the advisable
ity OF taking out partners no trump
bid with bid of two hearts or two
spades, careful consideration should
also be given to what the no trump
bidder should do.
That is, if the dealer bids one no
trump, second hand passes and the
dealers partner bids two hearts or
spades, with what type of hand should
the dealer bid two no trumps or pass?
Any theory of the take-out that you
may adopt IS incomplete without
thorough understanding between part
ners as to the procedure dealer should
follow subsequent to the take-out. The
writer is of the opinion that if this
procedure becomes thoroughly under
stood, there will not be the various
differences of opinion as to the take
out. With partner who understands
what to do after take-out, it is much
easier to arrive at the best bid of the
two hands.
The purpose of the take-out, of
course, is to bid a suit that offers a
better chance for game than the no
trump. If, however. the original no
trump bidder still considers the no
trump offers better chance for game,
he should bid two no trumps. If you
adopt this procedure it is much safer
to take out the no trump with any
fve-card major suit. Such bid gives
that information to partner and, if he
doesn't consider it the best for game,
he should bid two no trumps. Such
procedure never can do any harm and
in many hands will enable partners to
make a game not otherwise possible.
During an evenings play, the writer
noted three hands where this procedure
was followed and with perfect results
in each instance.

1882 CHEVROLET
SKIES ARE PRODUCED
DURING MONTH Of MAY

Chevrolet production during the
month of May exceeded every mon
tn of 1880 and was the largest
single months output since July,
1929, w. S. Knudsen, president and
general manager, said in anou1c-
ing the May total production E
1882 cars and trucks.
The May figure, representing
world production, compares with
113,1S7 last May and with 106,-
096 in April this year. While the
increase over last May is slight,
Mr.. Knudsen pointed out that
dealer stocks of both new and used
cars are now in far better shape
than year ago.
An interesting angle of the May
output, Mr.. Knudsen said, was
heavy increase in the number of
cars built for export. This trend
was also pronounced in April this
year, and in May the export re-
quirements Were nearly five times
as heavy as in the corresponding
month last year.
The heavy May output was the
direct result of a decided pickup
in sales in certain sections of the
country, notably the area along tne
North Atlantic seaboard, Mr..
Knudsen said. He pointed out
that this section was the first hit
by the industrial slump which fol-
lowed the stock market crash, aid
it appears to be, appropriately,
the first to recover. Certain 9TH
er sections are also showing signs
of recovery in Chevrolet business,
the president said.
During May Chevrolet plants
operated at normal average Of
five and one-half days week,
and employment went above 36,-
600 men, the company's normal
payroll, Mr.. Knudsen declared.

No score. z dealt and bid one no

B passed. What was the right thing for
z to do? Should he try for game in
hearts or bid two no trumps?
He figured that there was probably
a game either in hearts or in no trumps.
but that he would score more points by
bidding two no trumps. He had a
double stopper in the other suits so
that the no trump bid was perfectly
safe. 1t was lucky that he did rebid the
no trump for there were five hearts in
one hand; SO that it was only possible
to make three hearts. On the other
hand, with diamond opening he easily
scored three odd in no trump.

two no trump bid. When A passes, Y
should bid three no trumps.

AUCTION BIDDING:

No score. z dealt and bid one no
trump, A passed, Y bid two spades and
B passed.
There was not much question in this
hand but that Z should pass and let Y
try to make game in spades. Z had
three spades to eWo honors and only a
weak outside hand. For these reasons
it would have been foolish for him to
have bid two no trumps. With this type
OF hand, there is much better chance
tor game in the suit than at no trump.
At spades, Y z made four odd, losing
only one heart, one spade and one
diamond trick. At no trump, A would
have set the contract as they could
have scored five diamond tricks, one
heart and one spade trick; quite a
difference.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
The same up to and including vs.
spade bid. When B passes, z also
should pass. His hand is too weak to
Justify any further bidding. 1t happens
that Z can make game in spades, but
it is impossible to bid all hands for
game at Contract. Learn not to rebid
unless you hold more values than your
original bid indicated.
These three hands are fine examples
OF sound take-outs, but only if the no
trump bidder is wise enough to bid two
no trumps if he considers that bid offers
the better chance for game. Auction
and Contract are partnership games
and give the best results when partners
endeavor to bid twenty-six cards cor
rectly, rather than thirteen. The free
take-out of partners no trump handled
by both players as just outlined seems
to obtain the best bid of the two hands,
and for that reason seems to be the
right thing to do.

AUOIION BIDDING:
No score. Z dealt and bid one no
trump, A passed, Y bid two hearts and
B passed. What should Z now do?
Should he try for game in hearts or
bid two no trumps?
In this hand, also, he had a double
stopper in the other suits and only two
hearts, SO correctly decided to bid two
no trumps on the theory that it offered
a safer chance for game. 1t was lucky
that he did for B held four hearts to
the queen, ten, nine, and A two to the
ace SO that Y Z would have lost three
heart tricks and one diamond trick;
while at no trump they easily made
game.
