helpless in 192S-29 in checking the
stock market boom, which was an
over expansion of credit.
When borrowers receive credit
money from banks, that is book
keeping money" credit, they obligate
themselves to pay back in real
money, plus interest on the debt.
This makes debt the basis of 80
per cent of our currency rather than
gold or silver. AS a result debt must
grow in geometrical ratio. 1t can
not be repaid without continuous
expansion of debt.
If purchases were made with cash
and not on credit, or a future
promise to pay, we would not need
to borrow money for any purpose
and thus there would be no interest
to pay. only those who actually
had money would be able to buy
anything. Investment would be
made only as capital structure; no
bonds or mortgages would eat away
the capital, when the capital earn
ings failed; consequently no depres-

TIMES EDITORIAL SCORED
AS "HOOVERISTIC"

By Reader.
Unworthy of space in The Times
is your prominent editorial on in
f1ation. 1t reminds us of speeches
which we learned to despise so thor
oughly during the dark ages of
Hooverism. 1t might we'll have been
written by Mr.. Hoover himself. 1t
is the futile attempt of mind, suf-
fering from the disease Of greed,
to justify its sick minded attitude
which separates it from the album
dant life of love-radiant and I'M
afraid.
If you wished to be fair with Mr..
Brisbane, why did you separate his
quotation from its context in such
way as to make him appear to
say something so different from the
truth which you know he forces you
to face? Why did you not answer
Mr.. Brisbane's unanswerable ques-
tons? Why did you not offer any
thing that is constructive?
You were writing on the most i'm
portant question before the Ameri-
can people. We hope to see you
tackle it again. But, we demand
truth and light. We are tired Of
the fallacies of the old school
not in the sense that you grow tired
of walking, but in the sense that
you grow tired of baked beans and
dried prunes.
True, there are volumes which we
Il - u 20 oil, -
Still, there are receptions which are
transparent and facts which are
self-evident in the minds Of all who
read the truth Of the new money
school.

Recent issues of the Eagle Mag
azine, official publication of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, a lead
ing advocate of old-age pensions,
present some interesting data
on the cost of this form of relief
for the aged.
The data are of special interest
in view of the need for legislation
in Indiana to bring the state old
age pension law into line with the
Federal social security program.
Delaware provides some illumi-
mating figures on the cost of adj
ministering pensions as compared
to poorhouSe administration costs.
Of the total appropriation for
pensions, 537 per cent was spent
for administration. Under the
poorhouse system, the adninistra-
ton cost was 16 per cent.
Poorhouse cost for the nation
as a whole is 80 per cent of the
total appropriation for all such in
StitutionS.
Other figures come from Cali
fornia, which has had an old-age
pension law for five years,
period of sufficient length to pro-
vide a safe basis for calculation.
At the close of the last fiscal
year, California had 1884 persons
on the pension roll. The average
pension was $40 a month, or $240
a year.
The $240 pension per capita

INITIATION BRANDED AS
DEPRESSION CAUSE
BY Dan Newhart.

By Dan Newhart.
Passage of the Patman bonus bill
shows that Congress has finally re-
allied that America is suffering
from a lack Of money in the hands
of consumers. Every business would
sell more goods if the customers had
the money to buy. Money does not
grow on trees. 1t is created in two
ways. First, the constitutional
method, which provides that Con-
gress shall coin all money and fix
the value thereof. Money is made
of various substances, copper, nick
Ell, silver, gold and currency GER
tificates. Second, is the currency
of banks. which is much more i'm
portant than either Of the first type.
It amounts to more than 10 times
the volume of actual currency in
circulation in normal times.
Bank currency is created by Dor
rowers appearing at banks asking
for credits to operate business. To
all intents and purposes these bank
credits do all that real currency
can ever do. The creation of this
type Of currency is our most dan
gerous initiation Of currency.
There never has been found a
way to control the volume Of this
type Of currency imitation. The re-
suit of this credit currency is
always the same. 1t inevitably goes
to the point Of overexpansion. That
is, to a point where withdrawal of
it becomes necessary. When this
withdrawal Of privately created
credit money takes place, a terrific
shrinkage in purchase power fol-
lows. This brings on what we call
depression with all its consequences.
The government has no positive
control over credit expansion.
