SEN. CORE RAPS
FIAT MONEY

The Administrations new silver
policy was termed the. adoption
of a "fiat money" program by
Senator Gore DD of Oklahoma
today.
His views were in marked con.
trast to those of his Oklahoma
Democratic colleague, Senator
Thomas, who on Monday made
a speech in Chicago demanding
currency expansion, hailing the
silver naturalization as a step
in that direction. Said Senator
Gore:
ITO issue S1.29 worth of full
legal tender silver certificates
against one ounce of silver
which is worth only fifty cents,
is fiat money to the extent of
that difference. Seventy-nine
cents is pure fiat money, both
in kind and degree. Fiat
money is an attempt on the
part of the Government to
make something out of nothing.
1t takes real Omnipotence to
do that"
Senator Gore added that if
silver certificates are pumped
into the trade arteries, they
either will drive gold out of the
country or force Federal Reserve
notes out of circulation.
The blind Senator ridiculed the
monetary experts, saying:
perhaps 1 have less faith
in mOney-magic than it de-
serves. To me, the science of
money is largely a science of
illusions. And am not an
illusiOnist. Of all forms of
mOnOmania, I sometimes think
that mOney-mania is the worst.
The types are innumerable and
each type is incurable."

Increase Laid
To Married Clause

with information he has gathered
from personal conversations, he is
satisfied that the final results will
show unquestionably that the
number of couples in the service
who get married have decreased,
while the number Of divorces of
couples, each of whom work in
the Government, has increased
materially since section 213 has
been in effect.
Two Questions
The QUESTIONABLE asks that the
personnel officers of each Federal
agency furnish the number of en-
ployes in their agency who re-
ported their marriages to other
Government employees during the
period from July /, 1880, to July
1, 1882, and during the period
from July 1, 1882, to July /, 1884.
1t also asks how many en-
ployes reported their divorces
from other Government employees
during the same comparative
periods, which represent the
periods from two years before the
economy act to two years after
the economy act.

Divorces have been increasing
and marriages decreasing in cases
where both the man and woman
are employed in the Government
service, as a result of the mar
ried persons" provision of the
economy act, according to early
returns of an inquiry which is be-
ing conducted by the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes, E. Claude Babcock, presi-
dent, said today.
The Federation, convinced that
the provision, known as section
213, places a penalty on marriage,
and consequently is against pub
lie policy, undertook the inquiry
in support of it's stand.

subject were sent out recently to
