congress in 1888. Ss
We hereby register most vigorous
protest against the practice of print
ing bonds to be sold to bankers for
the purpose of raising money for pre-
.paredness and other purposes, thus
laying the burden of billions OF DOL
lars in interest upon the people.
Instead, we demand that congress
authorize the issuing of all the money
needed as a medium of exchange Tor
conducting the vast amount of indus
try required for preparedness and for
all other purposes.
Thomas A. Edison SAID: II our
nation can issue dollar bond, 1t can
issue dollar bill The element that
makes the bond good makes the bill
good also. 1t is absurd to say that
our country can issue S30,000,0oO IN
bonds and not $3O,OO0,000 in currency.
Both are promises to pay; but one
promise fattens the usurer ana the
other helps the people"

Source Of Revenue ef
The only apparent source OF revenue
Of this corporation is In leasing 10
others desiring to enter the trucking
business, the control that 1t has,
through this certificate OF pubic nee
essity and convenience, OF the hlgn-
ways over which the truckers wish to
operate. 1t appears thus to be the
case, that this corporation, instead Oh
the state of Montana, determines VINO
shall haul goods over the highways OF
the state.
The present commission can DO
nothing about this situation SO long
as the more or less nominal fees are
paid, and SO long as the independent
Motor Carriers keeps its blanket IN
surance policy covering the truckers
actually hauling goods, in force. me
present situation in the commission
is that it does not know exactiy 10
how many and to whom leases Oh
rights to engage in trucking over the
highways, have been effected by the
Independent Motor Carriers. A letter
to the general manager, Harry w.
Fulmer from the Railroad and PUBIC
Service Commission, requesting lst
of the leases executed under us Ger
tificate of public necessity and con-
venience to individuals and/or organ
izations, remains unanswered.
Various reports have come to the
office of The Voice from time to time
as to the probable profits Of this or
ganization in its traffic in the rights
to use the Montana highways. State
ments have been made that more imam
$4,000 has been made. by this traI-
Ticking. OF course the only thing that
will bring the actual truth to the pub
lie in this connection will be search
ing inquiry by the coming legislature
AS matters now stand, person or
organization is not disbarred from HI
ing petition for certificate or pup
lie necessity and convenience TO op-
crate a freight line oyer any OF the
highways of the state. However, ne
must then secure and present evidence
that public necessity" does exist,
and arrayed against that evidence will
be the talent of the Independent Motor
Carriers, prepared to show that none
such exists or that If it does exist,
the organization already has such GER
tificate and is prepared to supply the
public necessity.
1t is therefore much simpler for
such individual to deal with the lnde'
pendent Motor Carriers, Incorporated,
and pay them what they ask. And
thus, tight little monopoly over the
use of the highways Of the state has
been established insofar as Class C.
carriers are concerned.
Only in the case of Class A and
Glass "B" motor carriers, is there any

ance involving the difference between
enslaving the people to the money
changers or restoring and preserving
economic, political, and social liberty.
Sound money has been promised by
both major parties In past elections.
II this is to continue to be merely
words without anything being done,
we see no hope for democracy.
We therefore demand that action be
taken Immediately, before the l94o
election, that we may know that party
nlatforms do bear a sacred obligation
to the people.
Since the two major parties control
congress, we see no purpose IN voting
for either party again unless what
has been promised is granted before
the forthcoming election.
We believe that a sound money re-
form will result in such an unprece-
denied increase in economic prosper
ity that it will be the strongest de-
tense measure against war since IL
will be a convincing evidence that
democracy really can operate for the
welfare of all its citizens.
Because OF the generally admitted
lack of understanding of the science
of money by the people, due to the
fifth column activity of the 1nterna-
tional bankers, we trust that you Will
do all in your power to arouse the
general public to the need OF such
knowledge.

mend the recently issued textbook:
