F "To give him this lovaltv he must have a sense of ownership and. se curitv and the DrpRnnt. finnnoini snn ditjohs are fast rendering- people, of hu classes cicner. paupers., renters .or tenants.. It has been aptly-said that no nation can control its affairs that cannot control its financial sys tem and the happenings of the past two years in the various parts of tho country have demonstrated that the present' financial system has brdken down. The people of-our generation will not, during our. lifetime, - have confidence In any of the so-called In stitutions - .provided for savings and Investment of money, and without: such Institutions money.- cannot.. be kept In circulation. , The . primary function of money is that It- Bhall bo a medium of exchange and to ful fill this function It must necessarllr i bo in circulation. Hence- the confi dence .of the people Is vital to the success of our civilization. ,. , "The business men.! farmers and working people of this district' have already reached the cross roads and, money power or no money power, they aro going to rely upon tho instincts at their race and proteot their homes and families, and with that.in'mlnd I am, tonight suggesting a remedy that has met with the. approval of national farm labor and business or ganizations and which has been suc cessful In many other countries where bank failures are practically unknown. It Is this, that If I am elected to congress I Bhall Immedi ately Introduce a bill providing for tho extension of the facilities of the Postal Savings bank so that that In stitution will bo ennblcd to carry on tho ordinary business of 'banking with checking and deposit facilities now furnished by private banks. This would make the postal department of tho government the basis of all bank ing. "You understand that In the theory of government tho coinage of money and Its circulation aro primarily gov ernmental functions and this was rec ognized by the early fathers when they wroto the constitution,-but for eign bankers, with the assistance of Alexander Hamilton, prevailed upon congress to form, an Institution which was known as tho Bank of the United States. This1 was privately owned and for the life of Its charter whlolt was twenty years, it controlled tho circulation of money throughout tho country." This Institution was vigorously opposed at the time of Its Inception and at the time they de sired to have the charter renowed, by such eminent' men as Jefferson, Jack son and Webster and not i until the Civil war were the International bank ers able to again fix their tentacles upon tho 'American people- -The ex igencies of that time and the neces sity of prosecuting the war compelled congress to again acquiesce in the bankers demands with the result that tho Bo-called national banking act was passed, the law under which the so-called -national banks-of today are conducted, . or I might say in many Instances, 'as they were conducted.' "America is practically the only first class nation that has not con trol of her finances, her banks being exclusively In "the hands of private individuals. This Includes the fed eral reserve system which belongs to the private banks in esch federal re serve district. -- ' 'All banking legislation for the past 72 years has been passed at the Instigation of the bankers themselves and has been for their exclusive bene fit. . The basis of the banking svs-1 u. ubiier leaning nations Of the world Is the credit power of the people which U their earning power or productive power and this, In America, is unlimited, with this vast wealth Is there any reason why America, with its great Institutions of learning.. Its high traditions and Its vigirous people, should not be able to provide a medium of exchange that would save them Iron, the Inevitable ruin that they are now facing. , The plan 1 propose would compel any prlvato bank that desires to do busi ness within the borders of the United . States, or In any of Its possessions' to procure Its mjoney from our bank land-whon they did thla ample cai- lstemlvecurlty would have to b fur- jilshed und no financial theory or supposed credit would answer Xher ( purpose. Thus the government would 1 be dealing In tangible securities of actual value at all. times, t .... .. . V 'Tho present system must necessarily fall us far as the people of Oregon, and' other1 western s states,- rt" con cerned, far the reason that the great wenltli of the- country is constantly being centralized In the New Eng land' and Atlantic coast states and consequently no cash reserves can. be held here for any great length, of time. Nearly all state, county, munic ipal, road and; school bonds and the greater portion of the railway bonds from the west are held in the east and there Is a constant stream, of money going to those institutions ln the payment of Interest and In the 1 rotlrcment of the bonds, also the "vast proportion of life and fire1 Insurance' premiums, and the money paid for manufactured products goes to those states.' This necessarily means that our banks have nothing left but the so-called frozen assets which are In fact collateral loans -which the peo ple are unable to pay because the money is all ini the east."- .- .
