memorandum which Hated the levies
aa follows:
Permanent taxes:
Bonus 1120,000,000.
Farm program $500,000,000.
Temporary reimbursement taxes
500.000,000.
Total In round figures $1,12.000,000.
Total necessary $1,137,000,000.
The chief executive was emphatic
In differentiating between new and
old taxes. In the former category he
placed only the annual $120,000,000
for payment of the bonus.
In considering methods of recap
turing the lost processing taxes, Mr.
Roosevelt said the possibilities of a
retroactive tax had been thoroughly
explored. It was felt such taxes were
probably constitutional, but worked
many hardships.
The windfall tax, he added, would
probably take the form of a levy on
Incomes.
In all Instances, Mr. Roosevelt said,
he was leaving to the determination
of congress the method of imposing
the levies and suggesting only the
amount needed.
Speaker Byrans said at his press
conference the ways and means com
mittee would start hearings on taxes
next week, that they should require
no more than a fortnight, and that
the tax program should not delay
adjournment of congress.
"The house ways and means com
mittee undoubtedly will write the tax
bill." he said. "Of course, the sensi
ble thing to do would be to confer
with the president and the secretary
of the treasury."
It was the death of AAA. with its
proceslng taxes, and the enactment
of the bonus over the president's veto
which knocked the big holes In the
budget submitted last month.

trains offering a "definitely supe
rior" service.
Dissenting commissioners were
Chairman Charles D. Mahaffle and
Commissioners B. H. Meyer, Frank
McManamy and William E. Lee.
Mahaffle expressed the view that
a cut might have the effect of sub
stantially reducing revenues to the
eastern carrier, while Meyer expressed
the opinion that the reduction was
not great enough.
The majority opinion followed the
recommendations of Examiner Irv
ing L. Koch In a report last July.
May Be Court Action.
It was thought possible some of
the eastern carriers might go to the
courts In an effort to overthrow the
decision, but they have made pub
lic no plans to this effect.
Commissioners Clyde B. Aitche
son. Carroll Mlllern W. M. W.
Splawn and Marlon M. Caskle Joined
Porter In supporting the reductions.
Commissioner Hugh M. Tate did not
participate In the case.
In his dissent, Meyer said that,
applied to the present volume of
traffic, the new rate would not
yield any Increased revenues to the
railroads. McManamy said the commission
did not have authority under tne
law to "assume managerial duties"
over the carriers, and that the re
duction would have that effect. '
By fixing the Pullman fare at a
cents, the commission changed tne
basis for these charges and elimi
nated the present Pullman sur
charge. The effect of the order Is to place
Pullman fares on a flat 3-cent basis.
Instead of on the former basis ol
surcharges, which made Pullman
fares average 4 cents per mile.
February Found
By Post Office
BELLING HAM, Wash.. Feb. 28.
(AP) Notice to stamp collectors
Bellingham has found February.
A few days ago Postmaster Vaughan
Brown disclosed the February die for
the canceling machine was lost and
that letters were going through .the
postoffice without the month can
cellation.
No sooner said than stamp and
cover collectors deluged Bellingham
with letters, seeking the faulty can
cellation marks. But somebody found
February and all replies from Brown
have been disappointingly up to pos
tal specifications.

Communications
The leralued Iktjr
To the Editor:
In all the speeches we have heard
recently from prospective candidates
for the republican nomination for :
president, not one has mentioned
the "gold standard." Thoy declaie
in favor of "sound money." but no
further. Quite recently former Presi
dent Hoover is quoted as complain
ing of the threat arising from the
"devalued dollar, widespread bank
credit Inflation and the posslblle
menace of currency Inflation."
This statement Is very misleading.
What happened? Gold was "demoni
tlzed," but the dollar was not "de
valued" In the process. Gold has been
withdrawn from all participation In
our financial structure, and its price
raised from $20.67 to $35 per ounce,
and bought by this country, strictly
as a commodity.
The government has removed gold
from all banks. Including the Feder
al Reserve banks, voided the gold
n
SS5
clause In all private and public con
tracts, forbade private ownership of
sold, canceled the gold clause in the
gold certificate, redeeming tarns In
currency. All of which naturally
meant the abandonment of the "gold
standard."
What effect did all this have upon
the purchasing power of the dollar la
the United States?
Absolutely none.
The content of the silver dollar was
not changed at all and will now buy
three time Its own weight In "un
stamped virgin silver." Neither was
the parity between sliver and cur
rency changed In the process used In
"demonltl&lng gold."
Perhaps the greatest "fraud" ever
put over on the American people was
the "gold standard" and the endless
propaganda as to It "divinity," "Intrinsic-
value" and "staple qualities.
However, when the government "de
monltlBed" gold, its only noticeable
effect was to raise the rates on "for
eign exchange." There waa not a
ripple here and prices on commodi
ties in the United States did not rise
for many moons thereafter. The raids
that did take place and for which wo
are now om plaining were brought
about through other causes; combin
ations; drought; government Inter
ference cotton, hogs, etc.) and In no
way through a "cheap dollar."
President Roosevelt has aurely per
formed a great service to humanity
by tearing off the mask that has bo
fuddled the minds of poeple during
the greater part of our national ex
istence. The price of gold, silver, nlckoLs
and pennies, now as always, Is regu
lated by "statutory law" and our
ability to back up the price witn
good and sufficient Interest bearing
debt.
Mr. Hoover mentions "bank credit
Inflation.' but he should not do this
In a spirit of complaint, since the
same system prevailed through his
administration and the many banks
going to the wall at that time could
have written checks to pay all their
depositors. Just as they could now.
The real trouble was that they could
not dig up "government currency"
because the call was too great. There
was not enough money In existence
to meet the demand. Government
"currency inflation" that la paper
monev. at that time, would have
saved the day.
At the present time there la some
50 billion on "deposit" in the various
banks of this country, and about o
billion In currency in existence. At
least half of this currency circulat
ing among the people to take care of
their everyday cash business trans
actions, leaving 3 billion In the banks
to take care of the cash demand of an
inflation" of nearly 80 billion. How

ever at the present time, for which
Mr. Hoover can thank Preaiden:
Roosevelt and the present congress for
a new policy In which the govern
ment "insures" these deposits, with
certain limitations, the possibility of
bank runs is very remoto.
Many people are of the opinion
that whatever inflation of money is
necessary should be done by the gov
ernment Instead of the banks. This Is
surely the only safe and sane method,
but we do not believe the former
president holds to this view.
