CURRENCY WAS 1 BACKED ONLY BY l! THEIR CHEESE
Bankers Wouldn't Loan Money, So They Fi- nanced Mill By Issuing Pr0miss0ry Coupons

Washington, March 15.--(UP) Currency backed by cheese in- stead of gold reserves has proved a successful financial experiment in the Canadian town of Leroy. Saskatchewan.
 Dispatches from Winnipeg to- day to the commerce department told how farmer cooperatlves of Leroy financed the rebuilding of their cheese factory after bankers had told them their security was not good enough for negotiation of loan.
 The factory managers issued coupons bearing the factory's promise to pay 50 cents for 100 pounds of milk, redeemable. upon sale of the cheese. The factory was able not only to pay a satls- factory dividend but to increase It's payments to the farmers to 60 9-10 cents instead of 50 for every 100 pounds of milk.
 And for almost year the cheese coupons have circulated in the community as readily as actual cash.

 Eastman Stocks.
 New York, March ,15-(UP)-- Although his suicide was pro- found shock to Wall street, which greatly respected George East- mans business ability, news of his death was not expected to have any repercussions in financial circles.
 Years ago, Eastman divested himself of his large holdings of Eastman Kodak stock. and even the management of the company was in the hands of some of his associates. He held the nomtnaI position of chairman of the board of directors.
 Eastman Kodak stock broke sharply yesterday on news of his death, but that was expected to be the extent of its influence on the stock market. Eastman had few dealings in Wall street and had kept important financial interests from dominating his company. The com pany's earnings have held up exceptionally well in the past few years of business depression. i.
 In f030 Eastman Kodak Co earned Q net income of s20.3b4,. 900, or $s.84 . common share. a. gainst s22.0i5,000, or $9.S7 a share on . smaller capitalization in 1929. The 1881 report has not yet been Issued but Is expected to show the current SIS annual dividend earned by small margin. Few other companies were able to equal this record last year. Recently the company omitted paying extra dividends, . practice that has coll tinued for twenty-six years.

WHAT WASDONE
 BY CONGRESS
 DURING THE DAY
Some Exemptions By Com- mittee on Sales Tax and Scoring of Bankers By Senator Johnson

Washington, March 15 - (UP)
 The house ways and means committee today sought to appease some of the opposition to the salea tax by exempting nearly all canned goods from proposed levy of IA per cent on manufactured goods.
 Proponents regarded this action as strengthening their cause in the house. Republican, Floor Leader Shell and Acting Chairman Crisp of the way and means com mittee predicted passage of tho new billion dollar revenue bill next week with the sales tax included. A survery of the senate, however, showed that the sales tax will have even harder sledding in that body than In the house.
 International bankers were scored by Senator Johnson, repub- lican, California, who summed up the evidence brought out in Il committee investigation of foreign loans. He said the inquiry had disclosed shameful and even in- famous" exploitation of the Amer ican investing public by "greedy international bankers" Johnson proposes that government board be established to pass on Foreign loans floated in this country.

New Haven, Conn, March 15.-- (UP)--Other nations will refuse to buy exported products of France and the United States if those na- tions insist on payment in gold of debts owed to them, in the opin- ion of Sir Maynard Keynes, British economist. He declares in an arti- cle published in the spring Issue of the Yale Review today that Inter- national debts and credits must at all times be balanced.
 He suggests the possibility that the day will come when 'our mod ern midases will be filled to the teeth and choking. And that per- haps will be the moment when the Irony of heaven will chose for granting to our chemists the final solution of the problem of manu- facting gold. and of reducing It's value to that of q base metal."

THEY Tell NE

With the defeat of 1890 and the
prospect of a similar repulse in 1892,
the position of Republican leader is
not enviable
Where the Democrats had,
through years of successive defeat,
become accustomed to losing and
accepted election results as a mat
ter of course, it is a new experience
for the opposition and leaves, them
prone to storm and fury.
Morgan has a tough job on his
hands. Not only do the election
prospects loom gloomy, but the c..
o. P. state committee is handi-
capped and hampered with deficit
of more than $4,000.
The Austin Gamer, who so far
has had experience only in district
political activity, will find that his
job will not be so much that of
managing campaign and candi-
dates as it will constitute the rails
ing of money to pay of the debt
and finance a bitter campaign.
Senator James E. Watson and the
other candidates will be well
pleased with Morgan if he does not
show so much political astuteness,
but instead turns out to be a good
chiseler.
