see the Senator wants to fix things so the Gov
ernment can issue its own bonds to itself! He
feels that although the present operations are
dominated by the presidential appointees there
may be some little business sense remaining.
BOUT a hundred years ago, and following the
"A Napoleonic wars England was in much the
same fix as we are today. She was off the gold
standard and burdened with debt. She had to re-
strict payments on her obligations.
Then the great economist, David Ricardo wrote
as follows:
"It is then owing to the too intimate connec-
ton between the bank and government that the
restrictions became necessary"
That is true here and now. What we should be
doing is to heed our economists, and to take the
government finances out of banking.
The real trouble said Ricardo, is in loans made
to the Government. Such credit is not self
nuuidating It leads to initiation. Eventually, it
leads to bank insolvency. He wrote:
"The only legitimate security which the public
can possess against the ndiscretion OF the bank is
to oblige them (the banH to pay their notes on
demand in specie"
Common sense. that is, but also sound eco
nomic theory.
Before we get economically well we will have to
do two things
Cd Divorce Government finances from COM
mercial banking; ca reduce the note and de-
manddeposlt liabilities of our banks until the
value Of the paper dollar is determined by the
value OF the gold dollar.

SENATE 0. KS
ID. C. BUDGET.
GOES TO HOUSE
Final Action Likely
Early in Week

Final disposition of the SAT, 7,000,-
900 District supply bill rested with
the House today.
With the conference report on
the controversial bill accepted
without question late yesterday by
the Senate, the measure is now
awaiting action in the House,
where it probably will be consid.
cred early next week.
ACTION TO WAIT
Although as a conference report,
it is privileged matter, House
leaders are not expected to call it
up until after disposition of the
Navy expansion bill, which will be
acted on finally on Monday. After
that, the conference report on the
Interior appropriation bill takes
precedence.
The Senate took up the supply
bill just before adjournment last
night, on motion of Senator Elmer
Thomas CD of Oklahoma, chair
man of the Senate District Appro-
priations subcommittee.
METERS INCLUDED
AS passed, the bill carries a
provision for installation of park
ing meters on downtown streets
as an experiment. This provision
was inserted by the Senate.
When the measure was called
up, Senator Warren Austin (R.)
of Vermont, asked whether a
proper investigation had been
made of the provision for the addi-
ton of six nurses to Gallinger
Hospital, instead of six physicians.
He raised no objection when Sena-
tor Thomas said the conferees
were entirely in agreement.

PERSONALLY, think there's lot of I'M
believers at times because the scientists have
pinned down a great many little bugs under the
magnifying glass and they are beginning to know
a little about germs and the wonderful human
body, and they try and explain away the history
of life through their knowledge Of the microscope
but there's still much they don't know ABOUT
it and there's one thing that have never heard
any scientist or doctor pretend to know anything
about and that is the soul-or the sublime spark
given us straight from God.

r19 WOMEN HELD
In POLICE drive
TO CURB CRIME
Crusade Sequel to
Complaint Wave

Nineteen women were being held
by police today, following a series
of police raids last night in the
latest move to purge the District
of organized vice and crime.
The roundup of women Is only
the first step, Inspector Bernard
w. Thompson, chief of detectives,
said, and further raids are being
planned throughout the city.
The raids last night came after
scores of complaints had been
filed with police by men who had
been accosted and picked up by the
women and later robbed Of jew.
elry and money. Merchants also
have complained that the women
have been injuring business in 5he
Northwest section by the bold So
licitation methods they use.
SEVERAL WANTED
Some of the women arrested
last night are wanted by Federal
officials on various charges,
Thompson said, and will be turned
over to other legal jurisdictions.
Others will be warned to leave the
District at once or face vagrancy
charges.
While police were staging the
raids last night, Is men arrested
in the past few days were brought
before a police lineup at head
quarters.
Two men were picked out by vic
TINS and will be questioned at
length by detectives.
ONE IDENTIFIED
Representative william r.
Schultz, who was held up by three
armed men about two weeks. ago,
attended the lineup and partly
identified one of the suspects as
member of the gang which robbed
him.
The Federation Of Business
Mems Associations met last night
at the Hamilton Hotel and urged
that the vagrancy laws be strength

rather than small fines.
