Unable TO do protltable buSl-
" ness in such a rapidly chang
ing money, the market women of
Paris marched on the Assembly
and made an appeal famous
among economists, that laws
should be passed making paper as
good as gold"
The assembly tried in every way
possible. In April, 1898, a forced
loan of a billion livres was levied
upon the rich. In July that year
the estates Of the mobiles were con-
fiscated, and these lands, estimated
at three billion livres, were placed
also behind the paper money to
make it more valuable.
In 1893 six years in prison was
made the penalty for selling gold
at more than its nominal value in
paper.
Six months later selling as
signats at less than face value was
made worth twenty years in prison.
Two years later the guillotine was
provided for any Frenchman who
made investments in foreign
country.
In October, 1895, a new govern
ment was established, the Direc-
tory. 1t tried to restore order in
February, 1876, by issuing new
kind of paper money, called man
dats, and secured only by choice
public lands. One mandat was
made worth thirty assignats.
The mandats Immediately de-
preciated to 30 per cent Of face
value, then fell to Is per cent,
finally to per cent. On July 16,
1916, the inevitable blow fell; the
Directory decreed that all pape
could be accepted at its real value,
which meant at nothing.
The people ceased even to COM
pute the depreciation after that.
When Bonaparte took the consul
ship, the largest loan available in
the land would not meet the gov
ernments expenses for a single
day.

initiation during the American
Revolutionary period.

MONEY should be based on
wi energy. not gold say the
technocrats of 1888. Physiocrats
rallied to a comparable idea in
France in the 1790s--they held
that money could be based on
land.
The French Revolution began,
of course, as a dry discussion of
debts and taxes. The Grand
Monarchy, with loan piled upon
loan, was bankrupt. The States
General, which had assembled last
in 1910, was resurrected in 1879
because Louis XVI wanted to in
crease the already unbearable
levies upon the people.
The people discovered suddenly
that each taxpayer could say Il
am the State" with the result that
that they took that ever SO Gal
lie Oath of the Tennis Court"
Among the many things that
happened subsequently, the peo-
pie confscated the vast and valu-
able lands accumulated through
the centuries by the church.
Which gave Lecouteulx de Cante-
leu his bright idea. He proposed
to the newly formed constituent
assembly that paper money be
issued, guaranteed by and re-
deemable in these lands.
The basic theory that circu-
lating money we'll could be issued
against land had been knocking
about Europe for a century, but
here for the first time was a gov
eminent equipped actually to pay
out productive real estate on de-
mand.
TINE idea caught on. The pub
Il lie debt totaled nearly 2,400
million livres and the national
treasury was penniless. How could
the new government square the
books without some such re-
course? Also, there was the desire
to weld the people to the new gov
eminent, to make its destiny their
own. How better could that be
accomplished than by giving them
the physical benefits of the revo-
luton?
Necker, the finance minister,
fought the plan bitterly and, when
finally it was launched irrevocably,
quit France, never to return.
Mirabeau, one of the ablest of
the new men in power, attacked
the plan in assembly as "a nurs-
cry of tyranny, corruption and de-
lusion-a veritable debauch of
authority in delirium,' though
later he shouted loudest in its
favor.
Finally in April, 1890, after more
than a year of debate, 400,000,000
livres we're issued and called as
signats, secured by the pledge of
productive real estate and bearing
interest at 3 per cent. In a
burst Of patriotic ardor. Sarot SOL
emily offered, April 10, 1890, to
prove the worth of the new money
by selling his house, garden and
furniture for it alone.
Within four months, however,
the government was in distress
again, and the paper was at dis
count in trade. The cry arose
which seems inevitable once in
fation has started, More money!
We must issue more money"
Mirabeau talks no longer now of
corruption and deluSion. He takes

The Reason Why

Overwhelming action by the people
Of Michigan and Wisconsin in voting
prohibition repeal bodies i'll for the
cause Of dry restriction by law as we
have known it.
A score Of 100 to one in Michigan
and Is to nothing in Wisconsin, to
be officially recorded at constitutional
conventions, means something.
An insight into the reasons why Is
given by returns from QUESTIONABLE
on beer recently sent out to women
by national publishing concern.
The questions asked were:
l. Would you object to beer
advertising in newspapers and
magazines?
2. Will you serve beer in your
home?
3. Would you buy bottled beer
In drug store?
4. Would you buy 1t in a gro
Gerry store?
S. Would you approve of women
drinking beer in restaurants, out
door CARDS, hoters, etc.?
6. Do you think repeal OF pro-
hibition will improve social con-
ditionS?
Eliminating the Ifs, Butts and other
qualifications, the answers were rec
orded as follows: SO per cent in ia
vor Of beer advertising; rs per cent
for serving it in their homes, many
with the qualification that they would
not drink it themselves but would
have it for their husband and his
friends; 81 per cent favored buying it
in drug stores, 10 in grocery stores.
Seventy-two per cent found nothing
wrong with women drinking beer in
restaurants and other public places,
but the qualifications were many.
Seventy per cent believed legal sale
Of beer would improve social condi-
tions. the reason most frequently given
being that it would eliminate speak
easies. the bootlegger and hypocrisy.
Women have long been the back
bone Of the prohibition movement.
If these answers represent their views
the overwhelming votes cast against
prohibition In Wisconsin and Michi-
gan need cause no surprise.

Man With the Hoe


A Bismarck garden enthusiast drew
comment about the earliness Of the
season recently by announcing that
his peonies were growing splendidly.
This being the case, he felt called
upon to confess that they weren't
above the ground yet, but that he
had ascertained their condition by
digging down little with his hands
Just to satisfy his curiosity.
The incident illustrates q tendency
which all Of us have at this season.
We examine the trees to see how the
buds are swelling, we watch for the
first pussy willows and We look for
ward to the time when lush Nature
again will prove her fulness.
The neighbor whom you see walking
about his yard probably Is planning
his changes for the coming year. for
a true enthusiast never gets done with
hts planting. This shrub comes out
here and q new one takes its place.
That change Is to be made there.
And wouldn't this look better? SO 1t
goes.
The seed catalogue becomes q piece
Of standard literature. New selections
Of flowers and garden seed are made.
Hope springs triumphantly to the
fore. spurred on by the splendid illus
trations. All Of US hope to grow
something, some day, which will be
as good as the pictures prove they
can be.
The man with the hoe, which
means the average citizen these days,
stands Just around the corner ready
to spring into action. The fervor Of
late April and early May may wilt
under the heat of June and July. but
that Is beside the point. Spring and
home gardening are as much an emo
tional experience as anything else.
In this connection an expert offers
suggestion for preventing this year
the infestation Of Bismarck elm trees
with the aphis or plant lice which
affected them last summer. It is to
spray 1t once with q strong lime sui
phur solution, before the leaves give
the mites protection. They are killed
by poisons coming in contact with
their soft bodies, q different treat
ment than that given chewing in
sects.
For the owners Of elm trees such
action would give that Il wish could
get out into the garden" urge . worth
while outlet.
