CHAPLIN HAS PLAN
FOR NEW CURRENCY.
Comedian Proposes Remedy
for Lack Of Money and to
e. Cure Economic Ills.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, June 27.-
Charles Chaplin, film comedian, says q
shortage of money and not of supply
and demand is the prime cause of the
worlds eccnomic situation.
The actor today proposed a remedy,
especially for war reparations settle
ment. He previously had said leading
economists he met on a world tour. re-
Gently completed, could find nothing
wrong with his plan.
"The CRY of all countries is lack of
money" Chaplin said. Commerce has
developed through the expansion of
credit, but without a corresponding ex-
pansion of currency.
Gold Production Too Small.
Eve expanded credit with the de-
velopment of industry and our national
resources while the expansion of cur
rency was restricted on the production
of gold. ,.,
to keep up with the development of
the worlds resources, yet gold is the
basis of all value. What gives it that
value? An international recognition OF
its purchasing power. Therefore. by in
ternational agreement, any metal could
be given the same basic value as gold"
For payment of war reparations,
Chaplin suggested the establishment Of
an international currency, based on the
par value of gold.
Each Nation Would Share.
He said that each nation TO share in
the 50 500 900 600 set as the amount to
be accepted from Germany IN war in
IDENTITIES could be paid its proportion
ate share of the international currency
he proposes.
This he said, would be fiduciary
currency guaranteed by the Allies to
have the same par value as gold To
insure this guarantee, each nation could
deposit in a central bank a bond in
proportion to the value of its share.
Such a bond could be financed in each
participating country by bank loan
or bond issue.
Should a nation attempt to discount
the currency, it would forfeit its bond.

trying to trace down the various Of
fices scattered all over the city.
There is no reasonable excuse why
the new capitol building could not
have been completed and ready for
use right now. With modern methods
of construction it is no longer neces-
sary to take years to do a job of that
kind. Larger undertakings have been
completed in less time than it has
taken the capitol commission to run
all over the country for the purpose
so they tell us, of getting ideas
Architects should be capable of sub
hitting plans and it should be unnec-
essary to spend huge sums sending a
horde of men throughout the country
to gaze upon the capitol buildings OF
other states.
Let us quit this game of I. v. A
politics. North Dakota needs every
cent it has at its disposal for the pur-
pose of building the capitol. The l
V. A. politicians insisted on an emer-
gency clause when the bill was passed
Now, why the delay?
If the stalling game the I. v. A. is
playing in delaying the construction
of the new capitol is an example CT
Shafer- Hyland efficiency and econ
omy, then leave it to the good judg-
ment of the taxpayers of this state
whether a continuation of it is tt
their own best interests.
Very truly yours,
w. j. CHURCH.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE

Modern manners and morals, espe

given an entirely new and refreshing
treatment by Sidney Lanfield in his

Featuring James Dunn, Peggy Shan.

opens today at the Paramount The

Instead of the time-worn formula
Of the heroine battling for the secur-

turns the plot about and has the
pampered pet Of society scheming to
keep her poor sweetheart contente1
without the hindrance the ceremony
would be to her.
Spencer Tracy. the third member o.

1882 as the spearhead, there is expect
ed to accrue S3,261 ,000. 900 in taxes, a
sum sufficient, says President Hoover
''impregnably to establish the credit

A total of S11185000O is added
to revenue by the new tax provision

accruing from the 1928 measure. The
governments original program of
spending amounted to a $4,000 600
or 1851 100000 more than the revenue:
now believed possible. To bridge this
gap, $426,000,000 originally allocated to
the sinking fund will not be covered
by current receipts, while the remain
der will be saved through curtailment
Of expenditures.
The huge deficit was accumulated
by a 33 per cent decrease in receipts

RAPS CAPITOL COMMISSION
Bismarck, N. d.
June %, 1882
Editor Tribune:


Editor Tribune:
The I. V. A. politicians boast of
their economy and efficiency in the
conduct of state government.
If the situation in connection with
the building of a new capitol is an eX-
ample of that efficiency" and "econ-
omy' then the taxpayers of the state
will perhaps awaken at some future
date to find that the only capitol
building they will have is what re-
mains on the hill since the fire, and
that the emergency appropriation of
$4,000 100000 will have been dwindled
away through the hands of capitol
commission travelling around the
country on sightseeing trips, while
the state continues to pay office rents
with state departments streWn all
over the city of Bismarck.
The capitol burned year ago last
December. Since then the state has
paid in rents, janitor service and re-
pairs nearly S1l3,0OO0O, divided as
follows: Rent $35 ,97688; Janitor
service. $50, 766.49 Chose janitors must
be hard on Erooms and dust pans)
Repairs $40,2l790. In addition to that
the capitol commission has spent
nearly Sl1 10000 in salary and travel
expense, and not a move has been
made toward construction of the cap
itol
Unemployment is working hardships
on many families in the state; many
capable men could be employed. re-
lieving such hardships. and at the
same time the taxpayers who visit
Bismarck on state business would not
