COVERED WITH BILLS
A congreaeman, Charles Plum-
ley of rock-ribbed Vermont, is
pained by debt. He has spent
some t me trying to demonstrate
the magnitude of the national
debt. It is a rather difficult thmg
to do for a people who are used
tc counting dollars one at a time-
Estimating our post-war debt at
8300,000,(X0,000 (is that enough
zero« to make three hundred bil
lion?) Plumley says that this
number of dollar b lls would cov
er vompejely 768,709 acres of
ground, about once and a half
tim is as many acre« as are in
Sherman county, larger than the
entire state of Rhode Island.
Worst of 4t is that even when so
scattered they won’t grow.
If all put into five dollar gold
pieces (remember them) the pile
' wculd be 55,113 miles high, a
five dollar gold piece, he says, is
five hundred and 82 ten thousands
of an inch th ck if you want to
try y<?ur arithmetic, algebra or
calculus on it. ,
Fifty men could barely pick up
enough dollars one at a time to
pay the interest, it was likewise
reported. It must be well over
$2000 for each of us by now. ,
But the situation • not going
tc be improved by merely think
ing about how big the debt ha*
become.
