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In the second, the word Inflation Is
obsolete, It has become like the word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

PAYMENTOF FEES
Council Decides to Serve
Notice Violators Will Be
Arrested Two Weeks
of Grace to Be Allowed
A determined drive to cease "mak
ing a collection agency of the city,"
by rigid enforcement of the license
ordinance was started at a meeting
of the city council last night when
a motion was adopted to serve notice
on all Medford business men who op
erate under licenses that If fees for
1935 are not paid within two weeks
the violators will be arrested.
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?

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.
