their greatest opportunity in the
nations history to systematic
ally plumber the American peo-
pie out of their gold, in exchange
for their printing press" money
{ Federal Reserve notes.. Here
is an illustration of how 1t
works.
Let us suppose the Federal
Reserve Banks started in with
a paid-in capital of $780, 600.
This had to be paid in in Gold
Coin or Gold Certificates.
Against this, the Federal Re-
serve Banks issued $250,00O,OOO
in Federal Reserve Notes.
In the meantime, member
banks (who are the owners of
the Federal Reserve Banks)
would Systematically gather in
Gold Coin and Gold Certificates
and send them in to the Federal
Reserve Banks in exchange for
Federal Reserve Notes Print
ing Press Money! until the Fed
eral Reserve Banks had ex-
changed all of the $25O,OOO,OOO
of printing press" money for
gold coin and gold certificates.
Now, then, with this extra
$25O,OOO,OOO in Gold in their
vaults, they issued $625, 100000
in Federal Reserve Notes (more

Again, proceed as before,

money has all been turned into
good sound gold coin or Gold
Certificates.
Again we proceed, and this
time we get into the billions.
The Federal Reserve Banks now
have $625,OOO,OOO more gold
against which they can issue ST.

Notes (still more printing press

The Member Banks are doing
their part we'll. They are send

that never a gold coin or gold

THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington, D. c., Feb. 10, 1884
My Dear Governor:
Several days ago I approved the
Gold Reserve Act of 1884.
The law itself in no way impairs
the strength of the Federal Re-
serve Banks. They have simply
exchanged their gold for gold Ger
ti6cates issued the the Treasury
and collateralled by one-hundred
per cent of gold. These gold GER
ti6cates so collateralled with gold
supply all reserve requirements of
the Reserve Act. This bill inter-
feres in no way with the credit,
currency, or supervisory RESPONSE
bilities of the Reserve Banks.
Their powers will continue to be
exercised in the interest of gri-
culture, commerce and industry,
just as they have been for the past
twenty years.
1t gives me pleasure at this time
to express my appreciation of the
splendid services that the Federal
Reserve System has rendered in
connection with our efforts to
bring about recovery. It has been
an institution of incalculable value
throughout the twenty years of its
existence; soon after its organi-
cation it was an important factor
in enabling this country to aid in
winning the war; and more re-
Gently it has given firm support to
the Governments efforts in fight
ing the depression. 1t has stood
loyalty by the interests of the peo-
pie by supplying them with a
sound currency, by placing at the
disposal of member banks large
volume of reserves available to f.
nance recovery, by exerting a pow
erful influence toward the rehabili-
tation of the commercial banking
structure, and by cooperating in
every way with the Governments
financial program.
Very sincerely yours,
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Hon. Eugene R. Black,
Governor Federal Reserve Board,
Washington, D. c.
Now let us analyze some OF
the contents of this letter.
"The law itself in no way i'm
pairs the strength of the Federal
Reserve Banks.
Certainly not. The fact of the
matter is that their strength and
powers have been vastly in
creased instead of diminished. /:
is true that they are not sup
posed to be in the physical pos
session of the gold, and yet they
are even at the present time in
possession of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. But let us sup
pose that the Secretary of the
Treasury does order all the gold
into the Treasury.
Instead of holding the gold
itself the Federal Reserve Banks
receive Gold Certificates there
for.
These new certificates are to
be the same size as the currency
now in circulation. The backs
will be printed in yellow ink the
same as the old Gold Certificates
used to be, and the wording will
be as follows:

-ssss1By s. O. SANDERSON
Since writing "Whose Gold !?
Whose Profts?" "A Logical So
luton" and "A Colossal Con-
spiracy" some interesting hap
penings have taken place in
Washington.
In checking back on these ar
ticles l also re-read for the Sec
ond or third time that splendid
editorial Franklin D." "A Ma
tional Santa Claus" and the COM
ments on "The Presidents Mes
sage" which appeared in THE
SATURDAY PRESS of January Is.
l was greatly impressed with
the striking manner in which all
of these articles, and especially
the editorials, fit into the present
picture of the situation, and l
earnestly wish that every reader
of this article would review all
of these former articles. and edi-
torials, thus getting a much bet
ter understanding of some of the
various angles of the relations
of the Federal Reserve Banks
with the United States Govern
ment.
On January 3Oth the Gold
Reserve Act of 1884" was pas
sed by Congress, signed by the
President, and became a law.
The principal provision of this
Act provides for the Govern
ment taking title and ownership
of all the gold held by the Fed
eral Reserve Banks and the re-
duction of the gold content in
the dollar.
While this bill was before
congress, the officials of the Fed
eral Reserve Banks, the Federal
Reserve Board, the combined
forces of the Money Trust and
Banking Racketeers, together
with their allies in and out of
Congress, put up a strenuous
fight to retain the title and own
ership to the gold held by the
Federal Reserve Banks.
Many were the charges on the
floor of congress of "confsca-
tion," "thievery," "unconstitu-
tionality," and the like, which
when observed closely are easily
discerned to be mere gestures to
mislead the masses into thinking
that the administration and con-
gress had won a decided victory
over this Financial Octupus
created by congress: weaned by
the World War: and gluttoned
by a fictitious postwar prosper
ity that reached it's climax with
the stock market crash of Octo-
Der, 1929.
The World War presented the

already issued, brings the total
of Federal Reserve Notes issued
up to $3.4O5,877,l2O which, by
the way, was the exact amount
of Federal Reserve Notes out
standing and in the Federal Re-
serve Banks as of June 80. 1920.
So, while all the other figures
given are .merely for the purpose
of illustration it is noteworthy,
that coming out as they do, at
the windup, they must be trailing
very close to the real facts.
Now, for some more real
facts. During the period from
March l, 1888, to November /,
1888, when most of the gold
called in by the President was
being turned in to the Federal
Reserve Banks, by the presi-
dents order, they increased their
holdings by $856,724,OOO and
brought their total holdings on
November lst up to 1891 ,645,-
600, while the gold holdings of
the U. S. Treasury amounted to
only a measly $4l9,5O0,0OO.
Can you imagine racket that
can compare with this one? All
the underworld rackets COM
bined are but penny ante games
aside of this, and as for misery
caused, all the underworld rack
cts are like a slap on the wrist
as compared to hideous
murder.
The enactment of the "Gold
Reserve Act of 1884," by which
the United States Treasury takes
| title to all the monetary gold
held by the Federal Reserve
banks, heralded far and wide as
a great step towards driving the
money Changers from the
Temple" (the u. S. Treasury
The reduction of the gold con-
tent in the dollar it was claimed
would raise prices on farm
products and raise wages of la

pay debts. Have the products
of the farm gone up? NO! They
are much lower than they were
eight months ago, and only
slightly higher than the low
point of 1882. Have wages gone
up? and employment increased
Again NO! If you were to leave
out the CCC, CWA and the
NRA, unemployment would be
much more acute now than it
was eight months ago.

facts, and let it 60 at that. Here
it is:

SINISTER PLO 7
NOW CHARGED
To DOKE
Prosecution of Poet Slayer
Nears End; One Witness
Proves Boomerang
BY RALPH B. JORDAN

by hALFn ID. JOnOAN
WOODLAND, Cal, Nov. 2 ON.
S0.-A particularly sinister STAY
ing plot today was ascribed by
District Attorney C. C. Mcdonald
to Judson C. Doke, former San
Leandro, Cal, city inspector, who
is on trial here for the killing of
Lomar Hollingshead, college poet,
over the love of Doke's faScinat-
ing young white hibiscus" wife,
the poetic Helen Louise. Mr.. NC
Donald said:
"DOke came to the ranch
where HOllingShead was work
ing last summer and demanded
that he write a declaration that
his love for Mrs. DOke was only
physical. The poet refused and
DOke shot him anyway.
UNWRITTEN LAW DEFENSE
"But DOke at all times in
tended to kill HOIlingShead and
wanted that statement to eStab-
fish an almost perfect defense
under the sO-called unWritten
law. He thought no jury would
convict him of Staying a man so
low as to admit such common
affair with respectable young
matrOn."
AS court opened today the prose
cution's case was in its final
stages, Mr.. Mcdonald expecting to
close his presentation before night
fall.
Mrs. Elizabeth Inglis, of San
Leandro, testified that she in
formed Doke of the affair between
his wife and Hollingshead.
Mrs. Doke haG asked Mrs.
1nglis to keep the torrid epistles
of love she was receiving from
the poet.
Testimony BOOmerangs
The State put Mrs. Inglis on
the stand to establish a motive
for the killing-extreme jealousy
but she proved somewhat of a
boomerang by also furnishing the
defense with indications that the
Staying was not premeditated, a
necessary element in first-degree
murder.
She quoted Doke as saying:
IF Helen loved Lamar more,
I'd gladly give her up, but she
says she loves me and will
break off this HOlIingshead
affair. In view of that I'm
going to see HOllingShead and
try to Straighten out the
thing"

Sixty-one counties now have one
