Scrip Money

IJR supposition that scrip money Incorrectly
I J spelled scrpt) is new idea tried In only a Few
~ scattered communities was exploded this week
when an economist-newspaper writer disclosed tnae
communities in 20 states are using the plan.
This wide usage gives local committees ample
chance to study the results and make recommendations
accordingly Undoubtedly there many systems,
with good and bad points, and authorities have oppor
tuny to incorporate the most satisfactory features
of several.
Apparently three things are vital to the success
of the plan. Most important is selling the plan to
merchants and others who will be offered the home
spun currency This should be easy since merchants
of other towns seem agree that the pan has i'm
proved collections created business and elminat
ed the necessity of frequent donations to poor funds
Second it is all important that the money be
printed limited quantities It must not be allowed
to drive other money out of circulation since all mer
chants have to pay many out-of-town bills Too much
of the scrip probably would be than at all
Last the money should be paid wages and not
given away except in few cases where needy fam-
lies have no member able to work CITY projects which
are really needed and where the labor cost is the prn
cipal item of expense are the only which should
be attempted. This will be important factor in get
ting community cooperation on the project.
"But why any such plan? what good can it do 2"
are natural questions. The answer is simply that most
of us are short of money-so short that will gladly
give the slight discount involved in the scrip plan If
it will accelerate business.
Why we are short is problem for the economists
probably taxes, nstallment buying, mortgages and
too easy spending in good times should share the blame
but most of us have plenty of money on the books
to pay our bills if we could colect-it is round robin
situation with no in position to break the chain
If the committees making the study consider the
plan worthy it should be intellectually adopted If
we can solve the economic problem at home, even in
part it will be far satisfactory than waiting for
congress.

THE voluntary domestic allotment plan which may
become law after Democratic president
4 and congress take the reins of government is
drastic step toward writing "nale to the depression
Whether it will attain the end sought is question for
economists many of whom believe it will.
Even the more conservative among us have reach
ed the conclusion that something drastic must be done
if we are to through this depression without more
of the thousands of failures which characterize all de-
pressions.
Right now meat packers flooding the news
paper offices and probably of other Places with
urgent pleas for appeals to Their argument
is that increases in prices of pork which will result
from the bill will drive families to eat substitutes and
further depress the pork market. The more farsght
ed view held by sponsors of the bill is that increased
income for the rural sections will create demand
for all products which in turn will cause manufact-
uring rally and increase buying power in every
section.
Further clauses of the bill allow it to partially
control production and consequently prices.
Objections to the bill as mammoth sale tax lev
led to help certain class unfair. The bill only
gives farmers fair price for their products and
ganizes them to control production just manufact
uring firms have stood together in hundreds Of in
stances for years.

Independence

TT THOUSANDS of farmers who more worried
over foreclosure of the mortgage on the home
stead than of invasion by an eastern power, do
not ndorse the Hoover veto Of the Philippine indie
pendence measure. Sympathy for the Filipino who
asks independence seems misplaced when the Ameri-
farmer is selling his crops for third or less of
what they worth and wants freedom from the
petition of the Islands.
There many features of the bill that could
have been improved From the viewpoint of the Ameri
farmer for instance, restrictions imports could
have been made at instead of after two years.
American capital invested in the Islands is the prin
cpal objector to independence since it might disturb
its holdings. It would that the interest of the
far greater farming class deserved prior consideration

ton, not only to neighbors but to
themselves. Let them look abroad to
other countries whose rulers debated

came closer and closer to starvation
and protests grew shriller day by day
and clubs and guns became the accept

worker back to work? Or do the 10

r.
Richberg, for many years counsel for
the standard rail labor organizations
in their battles before Congress and
the Supreme Court, is taking very
seriously his new job as general coun-
sci to the NRA. In the swarming,
scrambling, intriguing, bluff throwing
chaos that blocks traffic on the fourth
floor of the big Commerce Building
in the Capital, Richberg appears one
of the coolest, surest executives of the
great effort to "save the system of
private initiative by the new method
of government cooperation. That is
his own picture of the problem. He
is no radical. He has no faith in the
capitalist die-hards, but neither does
he think that the old system is nee
essarily sunk. He is becoming the
chief keynoter of the New Deal in
saving private capitalism-if it is to
be saved.

pie will endorse the Blue Eagle

industries, in which the salient points
were a 48 to 40-hour week with mini
mum rates of pay around 40 cents an
hour.
On the other hand, the defiance
shown by the steel trust in its re-
fusal, for weeks, to discuss a settle
ment of the strike of its coal miners
IN support of their legal right to or
ganize, has ended in a truce, terms of
which We're dictated by the President
and were signed by the trusts coal
department officials. This was a ma
jor humiliation, at least, for the steel
and coal barons. For a generation
they had met the union organizers
with clubs, gunfire and gas. They
made no special distinction between
radical and conservative labor offic-
ials. John L. Lewis, supporting Hard
ing, Coolidge and Hoover, was no
more welcome in their offices, appar-
emily, than was Frank Borich, presi-
dent of the left-wing National Miners
Union, whom they hoped TO see de-
ported. But under pressure of a real
strike, and pressure from Roosevelt
and his Recovery machinery, they sur
rendered the unions first point-the
placing of a check-weighman at every
mine.

Had Richberg advance information
of Roosevelt's willingness to force the
steel trust to accept union check
weighmen at its mines, when he talk
ed about the 80 per cent rising against
the 10 per cent? Possibly he did.
Certainly he knew that the plan for
a National Board of Arbitration was
being worked out. This board has
not the power that was welded by the
War Labor Board, which determined
the labor conditions in industries
whose products were bought by the
government in wan time. 1t is merely
an arbitration tribunal under the NRA
Montana labor news., 1933-08-31

to settle disputes as to what the la
bor-freedom clause of the Recovery
Act means, when applied to particu-
lar industrial situations. 1t is going
to have to deal with the issue of COM
pany unions in the chief industries, at
least temporarily. Its value lies in
the fact that its composition-three
labor and three industrial members
with. Sen. Wagner as impartial chair
man-recognizes that organized labor
is a main factor in determining how
or whether-the Recovery plan shall
succeed.
Radical labor unions are not recog-
nized by Roosevelt in picking labor
spokesman. Hence radical labor will
continue to question the wisdom of in
dustrial truce. The effectiveness of
their argument will depend on the
quick fruits of the agreement made
by conservative labor to bring dis
putes before the Arbitration Board.

LOWER TARIFFS FOR CANADA AND
 UNITED STATES
Reciprocal Trade Agree ments Between Two Countries Already Are Underway By Roosevelt

Washington. Feb 2S--(UP)-- Unofficial negotiations between the incoming democratic administra- tion and Canada looking toward reciprocal trade agreements 10 lower tariff barriers are pro- gressing rapidly, the United Press learned to-day. Influential con- gressional leaders. including house Majority Leader Rainey, have been approached by representatives of the dominion government with mu- tual assurances in view that the two nations will combine to re- duce trade obstructions.
 It was understod that the Can adian feelers had been unofiicially received with the greatest interest and that definite developments may be expected soon after Presi- dent-elect Roosevelt takes office. Reciprocal reduction of tariffs was d cardinal point in Mr Roose- velt's campaign pledges. The ap- pointment of Senator Cordell Hull Tenn, as secretary of state ana Daniel c. Roper. part author of the Und . wod tariff, as secretary Of commerce was regarded as further assurance that there would be no delay in carving out this policy.
