WANTS MAN TEACHERS ONLY

Editor Askov American:
Why not have some change In our
present school system? | believe that
if we had all men teachers it would
give a lot of men a chance to support
their families. | also believe that the
children have more respect for a man
teacher.
Also, why should women be allowed
10 hold a mans job in factory. Fac
tories in the cities are full of women
and young girls. and countless men
walking the streets in search of work.
Yes. men who have families to sup
port. and are denied such jobs. May
I hear the opinions of others on such
"a law? A would-be worker.

MORE CURRENCY
is ADVOCATED
Continued from Page u

lenders. After paying interest on pri-
vate, corporation, and public debt
there is not enough left to live on
for the great bulk of the people. Mr.
Townley went on to tell about wat
cred stock that the public pays in
terest on, as for instance the rail-
roads whose true value is II billions
while they are capitalized at % bill
lions of dollars.
People Must Unite.
The wealthy have the money but
not the appetite. They swear they
have the money in the federal income
tax reports so there can be no doubt
about it, One hundred men can make
more harvesting machines today than
LOCO men could 40 years ago and yet
the prices are higher. The laborers
in the cities are the farmers best
customers and when the farmers are
doing we'll it is good for the laborers.
1t is time for the people to unite, said
the speaker.
Making money scarce makes it dear,
and that is the game of the wealthy
that is being played again, said Mr..
TOwnley. Farmers could have paid
800 interest a few years ago as well
as they can pay $50 today.
Uncle Sam loaned money to Euro
pean countries during and after the
World war. That was followed by
more European loans by international
bankers of America. A moratorium
was declared by the engineer in the
White House on the first mortgage
loans by Uncle Sam and that made
the second mortgage the first mort
gage.
Make Good Use of Ballot.
Farmers and laborers do not hoard
money, continued the speaker. They
need money so they can trade. The
government must be reformed and the
ballot is the way. Don't be guided
by the kept press, the Wall Street
Journal, the Minneapolis Journals,
and such other publications. He ad-
vocated reading the Farmer-Labor
Leader and other publications that
are not controlled by wealth.
At Washington there are printing
presses to turn out currency which
belong to the people and they should
be used by the people. More currency
should be put into circulation, cheaper
the dollar and bring up commodity
prices. If more money was in circu-
lation every man could have job in
60 days. They call that fiat money,
said Mr.. TOwnley, and he added, "If
| were president and too much of the
money got into circulation l would
simply bring it in through taxation
and burn it,"

We have more unemployment in this
country than there is unemployed in

Mile Laos County Times: With all
the fuss that old line politicians have
made about keeping .he government
out of business" it is getting very
difficult to tell where the line between
government and private business be-
gins or ends. Secretary Of State Slim

partment correspondence relative to
private oil leases of our big Oil COM
