BUSINESS men ASK
COUNCIL TO ADOPT
SCRIP MONEY PLAN
Measure Approved After Study
at Open Meeting; Council
Will Act Soon
WILL BE PAID FOR LABOR
Two Per Cent Stamps Required
to Provide Fund for
Redemption

The proposal of the council that the
city issue scrip money in payment
for work on city projects was given
the support of business and profess
sional men at meeting at the Com
mercial club Tuesday night.
After thorough discussion of the
project and talks by prominent citi-
zens both for and against the plan,
it was Endorsed by vote of about
four to one. More than so attended
the meeting of whom about ten were
opposed and ten or more did not vote.
w. l.. Hardy acted as chairman OF
the meeting in the absence of Mayor
H. D. Thorp who was unable to at
tend. Mr.. Hardy explained the plan
after which clippings from news
papers in towns using the system
were read and the question was
thrown open for discussion.
The council will meet soon, probably
Friday, to act on the recommendation
of the group. The majority of the
council is believed to be favorable to
the plan.
May Issue $500
AS planned Tuesday night, $500 OF
home made currency will be paid to
laboring men for city work. A new
road to the city pumphouse and storm
sewers were jobs mentioned although
this is left to the discretion of the
council.
The man who originally earns the
money will be allowed to pass it
without a stamp but all other trans
actions will require that stamp be
affixed to the back of the money by
the purchaser. Stamps will be sold
at the city hall and will be required
at the rate of two cents for each dol
lar. If smaller amounts are printed
the rate of exchange will be the
same.
Merchants receiving the scrip will
use it for paying local bills and 1t
will circulate in the city until 81
stamps have been affixed. By that
time money paid for stamps will have
accrued at the city hall and the scrip
can be redeemed for regular money
The extra two transactions will pay
for the administration of the plan
and printing of the money ano
p stamps.
Has Opposition
w. S. Brammer,. DR.. w. A. Brand
B. H. Clark and others spoke against
the system. DR.. Brand argued that
wide use of the plan would under
mine federal currency while Mr.
Brammer condemned it as "just an
other tax" Mr.. Clark stated that
merchants cannot afford to give an.
other two per cent from their pres
ent margin of profit.
l.. R. Ewart declared there is nc
danger of hurting regular money as
long as the system is backed by pay
ment of real money upon the COM
pletion of the terms of the contract
underwhich scrip is issued. Rud
Stensvad declared the $500 to be is
sued will do more than $4,000 of new
business before it is taken up. C. H.
Burmeister, George A. Barnes, L. R.
Roberts, Leon H. Brown and others
discussed various phases of the plan
and gave suggestions as to it's ad-
ministration.
The $500 issue is an experiment to
help families made destitute by lack of
employment. If the plan is success
full, further issues may be made by
the council members who will confer
with a committee of business men re-
garding the matter.

PRESIDENT MAY
 ASK FOR SPEEDY
 VOTE ON REPEAL
May Appeal to States to Kill Prohibition - Be-
 lieves Revenue From Liquor Would Be Heavy

Washington. May 17-(UP)-- President Roosevelt is understood to be considering appealing to the states to speed repeal of prohibi- tion.
 Convinced that national senti- ment predominantly favors re- peal, MT Roosevelt is said to feel that the process of removing the 18th amendment from the consti- tuition should be expedited as much as possible. Five states--Michigan Wisconsin, Rhode Island. Wyoming and New Jersey-so far have rati- fled the repeal amendment or elect ed wet conventions which will rat ify. Thirty-one more notifications are necessary.
 The revenue which would accrue to the federal government from li- censed sale of liquor Is a leading reason why the administration would welcome fastest possible ac- ton on repeal.
 With receipts from sale of legalized beer exceeding the estimated rate of $150, ,000,000 a year, advocates of repeal believe liquor taxes would bring in about $500, ,000, % annually.

 TEXT OF MESSAGE
 Washington, May 17 - (UP)- The complete text of President Roosevelt's message to congress on public works and industrial planning, follows:
 To the Congress:
 Before the special session of the congress adjourns, I recommend two further steps in our national campaign to put people to work.
 My first request is that CD the congress provide for the machinery necessary for 8 great cooperative movement throughout all industry in order to obtain wide re-em- ployment, to shorten the working week, to pay a decent wage for the shorter week and to prevent un- fair competition and disastrous overproduction.
 Employers cannot do this singly or even in organized groups be- cause such action increases cost and thus permits cut-throat un- derselling by selfish competitors unwilling to join in such a public spirited endeavor.
 One of the great restrictions on such cooperative efforts up to this time has been our anti-trust laws. They were properly designed as the means to cure the great evils of

NEW JERSEY HAS VOTED WET BY
 BIG MAJORITY
Only One County to Be Heard From and Vets Are Leading in That Also

Trenton, N. J., May 17-(UP)- With the possible exception of a single county, all New Jersey was listed as wet to-day with almost complete returns tabulated from yesterdays election of delegates to a repeal convention. Several coun- ties regarded as strongly dry came in wet by two to one majorities. Hunterdon county was the only one in which the drys still had a chance, and even there wet candi- dates were leading slightly.
 Sixty-four wet delegates at large were elected by huge majorities. At least 153 out of 157 district de.- egates at the convention will be wet: the heavily populated cities along the Hudson recorded only scattering dry votes. In Hoboken, 45 out of 49 precincts showed S,955 wet votes to S1 dry. Several Jersey communities voted to void ancient blue laws and permit Sunday amusements.

general business of investment banking. He at that time dis closed that the Chase had for some while previously been giving serious consideration to the ques- ton of severing connection with it's security affiliates and of limiting its future participation in invest ment banking solely to handling obligations of the United States government and such other securi- ties as are permitted by the Na- tion Bank act. Following his pub lie statement of March 9th, MT Aldrich issued a formal statement on April 9th, addressed to the Chase shareholders, in which the definite program that was acted on to-day was outlined.
 Action of the Chase sharehold- CTS to-day coincided with yester- days introduction into the senate of the Glass banking measure, which Is designed to bring abo a nationally certain of the changes now made effective at the Chase. The total vote cast by Chase shareholders to-day, both directly and by proxy, while not disclosed, manifested a predominating senti- ment in favor of the proposals.
 Shareholders of the bank met first, at 12 o'clock noon; the se- curities corporation meeting was at 3 p. m. The bank meeting con- sidered a single proposal, namely, reduction in the membership of the banks board of directors. Share- holders ratified the proposal that the number of directors be reduced from 72, at which it had stood since the annual meeting, to 36. Upon conclusion of the balloting announcement was made that re- duction in the size of the board will become effective at once, one- half the membership having agreed immediately to withdraw, leaving 36 members to continue the terms for which they had been selected.
