Hlphett yesterday . ,,. 4 l.nnrt this inornlnc ...... 3 M M By Paul Mallon (Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, March 6. There ia aome talk about taking up a new deal collection to buy a political medal for Donald Rlchberg. The co ordinator's prom ise of no Infla tion within six years was con sidered that good. In fact there has been nothing like it since Huey Long offered to with draw from the next presidential race If the new deal would share the wealth. In the first PAUL MALLON . place, none of President Roosevelt's rmonetary advisers of whom Mr. Rlchberg is not one) can see more than six months ahead right now. At least none Is straining his eyes to see six years. In the second, the word Inflation Is obsolete, It has become like the word love. It describes so much that It describes nothing. These factors create an Ideal fog for the widest possible political pro phecy, without hsRards. Yet down underneath the haze of loose talk, you may now begin to see the bare outlines of the Inflationary j celling which the new dealers seem . to have In mind. Quietly they have gone about the business of building various little factories for producing credit. One example Is In the new bank bill. It Is the mortgage discount phase. It means simply this: Whenever you get a mortgage on your house at the bank, that bank may pass the mortgage on through the federal reserve system, where cur rency may be teaied against It. you nlght call It a currency backed by mortgages Instead of by gold, sliver, or what-not. Your house stands for It. This little device supplements an other depression arrangement where by government bonds may be hand led In the same way. That Is, cur rency may be Issued against them. Theoretically, this sounds like big stuff. Actually, It Is not. The secret of Its operating scope is that of all factories. It can produce only as much "as It can sell. So far, It has not sold very much credit, because there U no booming demand for It. There will be no demand until business starts rebuilding. Until then, the In terest cost of discounting bonds and mortgages will make such credit ex pansion unprofitable and useless. So the only thing it will do Is to prepare the way to meet credit de mand six months, a year or two from now. when and It the country needs It. But there is more behind it than that. In this present credit hiatus. these little devices permit the govern ment to borrow all the money It wants. The government is one buyer who is demanding more and more credit. The banks have no place else to put their money and no excuse for declining to take government bonds. In view of this, the Inflationary possibilities of the mounting public debt become more and more remote. As long as the devices work, the gov ernment will not need a printing press. Silver does not rate more than a dime's worth in this big altalr. Currency Itself Is only the loose change of business. Credit Is the big thing, the way the new dealers are handling the situation. This Is the truth, the whole truth, etc., etc.. as the best authorities here swear It and sec it. The treasury ts hastening to obvi ate any possible bad results from the adverse portion of the supreme court gold decision. This is one of the most lmoortant hidden implications be htnd the $1,300,000,000 of refinancing announced a few days ago. Most $f the bonds which the treas ury ts taking up are gold bonds. The ones which will be Issued In their place 'are not. The trick Is for the treasury to get all Us gold bonds In before prices rise above the 1918 level. Then It mill never have to pay out an extra cent of damages under the supreme court ruling. The way to bring the government debt home to you .s to calculate how much of It you owe. The present amount is 1215 for every man man and child In the country. As few . .v.. n-h trill V a vai raT ittAi-a, i tun " " ' . . .w to pav for at least ten who do not.

Warrants for the arrests will be sworn out by the city police depart ment and the violators will be taken into city court, where fines will be assessed In the amount stipulated In the license ordinance. J. F. Flelgel. chairman of the li cense committee, made the motion, in an effort to clear up a "disgrace ful" condition that he said has exist ed for several years, until it has be come a precedent for licensed oper ators to fall to pay their fees. Nr.OO Tue Annually It Is hoped that the condition will be cleared up entirely by the con certed action that Is being taken. City Recorder M. L. Alford In a re port today estimated that although n pt ycar8 BOme fcM naye bfr?n left uncollected, the total amoun that shoutd be collected for licenses each year is approximately $2500. He laid that so far in 1935. more than two months, only $743 of this amount has been-- collected. During the year 1934 slightly more than $3300 was collected, much of this not until the latter months. Businessmen who will be effected Include: dealers in electrical mer chandise, electrical contractor, deal ers Inplumblng merchandise, phrmb- Ing contractors, owners of dance and card -rooms, truck operators, taxi operators, theatre owners, pool rooms and photographers. Many Affected In leading a rather length? dis cussion, Flclgel said that In all prob ability many prominent business men will be affected by the ruling. He believes a strict enforcement Is the duty of the council. His committee Includes C. C. Furnas and J. P. Erlck son. The matter has been under con sideration by the council for several weeks and the first step In rigid en forcement was made at the last re? ttlsr meeting when Flelgel made i motion, that was adopted, providing ; Continued on Page Two) PORTLAND, Ore., Mar. 6.

HUEY UPBRAIDED FOR NAGGING OF Fl McKellar Draws Dictator's Fire in Reply to Speech . by Hastings Harsh Words Punctuate Talks WASHINGTON, March 6. ip) Senator Huov Long (!.. .u.) an nounced to the senate toddy hit Intention to seek re-election In stead of running for governor of Louisiana, ns he ome had con templated. , WASHINGTON, March 6. (AP) The senate became the forum for an other debate on Roosevelt policies to day with Senators Long (D La.), and Hastings (R., Del.), finding fault and Senator McKellar (D., Tcnn.), defending the administration. McKellar, replying to an opposi tion speech by Hastings, Inquired if the Delaware senator would have the nation "go bnck to Mr. Hoover." "What's the difference?" put In Long, who was the target for a bit ter speech yesterday by Senator Rob inson, the democratic leader. "If the senator hasn't enough sense." McKellar replied hotly, "to know the difference between Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt, then I couldn't give him the Information." Long said the "only difference" was that under Hoover the public debt was $19,000,000,000 and under Roosc vclt 930.000,000,000 and that there were a few more million unemployed now, Huey Couldn't Walt A large crowd of spectators was In 1 the galleries expecting another Rob inson-Long clash. Long has a speech planned, but he couldn t wait until the McKellar-Haatlnga contest wan over. McKellar said he was not concern ed with what Long said. "I don't believe In his philosophy," he asserted, "I don't believe In his constant nagging of brother senators and the best president this country ever had. If I thought my policies were like those of the senator from Loulslnna I'd resign my seat." In a speech assailing tho Roosevelt program. Senator Hastings asserted many or those who heard Secretary Roper's radio address reporting prog ress on the first two year voyage of the administration's ship of state thought they were "listening to the children's hour." He said Roper, as first officer of the ship, reported only the "hair truth" and had failed to report to the "great pilot" (the president) "Important facta" concerning the voyage thus far. Will Ask Cost One of these, he said, waa that the passengers were soon going to ask "how much the trip is going to cost." Hastings described Becretary Mor grnthnu as tho "purser" of the ship who first Insisted that all passengers give up their gold, then took 40 cents from every dollar, and finally repu diated a promise to redeem gold bonds In the yellow metal. "We find the passengers protest ing." he went on, "but the purser says 'you better go back to your bunk or we'll take 10 cents more off your dollar'." "We also find the prices of meals have gone up," he continued. Then, turning to the "condition of the crew," he said the 435 (house members) on the "lower deck" fol lowed the pilot with little grumbling, but the 96 (senators) on the "upper deck" didn't always agree with the pilot.
