WASHINGTON (JP) It bftcnmra increasingly apparent both political cou vent-ions tins summer may he ask ed to write into their platforms a plank for reform, . of the- country's monetary system. ' Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American farm bureau federation, which, with the National Grange- and the Farmers' Union, is demanding re turn of what ho terms the "honest dollar." nays that if congress does not "fulfill its constitutional obligation" to regulate tho value of money the farm groups will "go before the na tion on this grenfc issue." Tho "honest dollar" is a gold standard dollnr, but ono sufficiently deflated to bear tho same relation to commodity values as existed In tho period 19B1-2R. . Bills extant prouose the federal reserve board be instruct ed to chango tho quantity or gold in tho dollar until ita purchasing power is no .greater than the index price level 'Of the moro than 700 major commodities. Indirectly. ; tho process would be ono of commodity inflation sinco it would increase- the number of dollars that could bo bought with a given quantity or any commodity. It Is because more wheat and more cotton and more cnttlo are -required in exchange for the same number of dollars that organized agriculture in sists on a revaluation of money based on the 1026 l?vel of farm prices and the dollar stabilized at that point. If that were done commodity ond money values henceforth would Mue ,111010 in direct ratio and corn or pig price level and the revised Goids- I borough bill which embodies elements ot the old mimseyer. Strong. Koller, Burtnem and Goldsborough bills call ing for restoration of ths pre-defla-tion commodity price level. They aro strongly opposed ln power ful banking cliclca. The effect of either bill would tx? to raise the farm price level 40 per cent. , iJWrVsa Iliia I IsllJUlutZllOfl Sillfy Stock Exchange NEW YORK, Apr. 11 m Further) liquidation beset Hie stock market i today and final prlce3 of lending j ,Ues were $1 to mora than as lower.f , . rt rt A rnlIy m th3 afternoon apparently iKeCOnStrUCtlOll F 1 11 a 11 C e . proraot2tl bys& rlse in the wheat mar- j pm.nnrnfinri Hrarittf 19 ) L.t frWt tr, hni,i nnd th jut slumped again late.

' Much of the work which has been pledged has been redecorating homes and business houses, while some ! ha(1 uoon nPi,,, h' it iowio curt small jobs which will be distributed among the unemployed. Por work men to , perform the Job, if the householder or business man has no one in mind who is unemployed, he is asked to call Judge U. G. Couch, county Judge, who has the names of more than 700 men -.in his office who are in need of work. The contest will continue until the quota Is reached, and the com mittee asks that air solicitors report their pledges to- the La Grande chamber of commerce, the head quarters of the organization of rep- resentatlves of all civic, fraternal and patriotic organizations In the city.
