End Depression By Writing Check

End Depression By Writing Check ?
The following taken from a
Brock, Neb., paper and sent to a
friend, was handed to the Democrat
for publication:
The check problem has been pre-
sented to the editor of the News for
solution, that is, to find the joker.
He passes it on to you. Here it is:
A man gives his groceryman 4
check for 81 in payment of an ac-
count. The groceryman, who makes
25 cents on the deal gives it TO the
butcher, the butcher endorses 1t
over to the hardware dealer, the
hardware dealer endorses it over to
the lumberman and SO on, until
twenty business men have had the
check, and each has made rs
cents on the transaction. The
twentieth individual decides to cash
the check. The bank turns it down
marked mo funds" The ordinary
course would be to have the check
returned through all the endorsers
and then finally to the giver. How
ever, instead of this action, the
twenty endorsers have a meeting
and each decides to pay five cents
to the last holder of the check and
then tear it up. This would still
leave each of the twenty business
men a profit of twenty cents, and no
one losing anything. What is eco
nomically wrong with this pro-
cedure? Suppose the check was for
800; then each business man
would 4Hclear" $40. Suppose it was
for $1,000; each business man
would "clear" $500 Who would
not be satisfied with such mar
gin of profit just now? Why not
end the depression by a series Of
these '|round robins?''
