A New Money Plan
To the Editor:
Will you please reprint for me the
following open letter to President
Roosevelt:
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President, United States,
Washington, D. C.
Honorable President:
May I prevail upon your valuable
time for a few moments?
Enough has been said concerning
Qod and the truth of our religions,
but It will not be amiss if we de
scend to the subject of men and
our government. I proceed, therefore.
to the relation of a subject, which
may make you more cautious for
the time to come in answering
questions that will be put to you.
For you must know, that aa a. man's
folly often brings him down from
the moat exalted atate of life to the
greatest misery, so shall hla good
sense secure him in the midst of the
utmost danger, and procure him a
safe and honorable repose. There are
many instances of people being
brought to misery by their own folly,
but these I choose to omit, aa they
happen dally. What I propose to
exemplify. In the following, la the
great cause for comfort to be found
in the possession of a good under
standing. A government founded upon the
shifting sands of Insecurity, la
likened unto the man that built hla
house upon the sand, and the wind
end waves swept It away In Its
fury. But a government founded
upon the eternal rock of ages, the
love of Its people and the natural
resources of lta country, will be lik
ened unto the man that built hla
houae upon a rock, foundation; the
winds blew and the rains descended
but It fell not.
Mr. President, from my observa
tions you are greatly perplexed with
the financial conditions of the Unit
ed States, our government. i know
the people are). You are wondering
what la to be done about the na
tional debt of billions of dollars.
Our present system of money la
bsf upon gold and silver. Oold and

silver, In Its self, la absolutely worth
less and Insecure. There la no virtue
or security in the cold metal.
Now Mr. President, aa I under
stand It, congress had the constitu
tional power to coin and regulate
money. Granting this to be true, why
not Instruct the congress of the
United States to Issue currency, to
the amount of necessity, backed up,
not by worthleaa gold and silver, but
by every square foot of ground, and
every taxable article In the United
States? How can this be done?
Simply by printing on the currency,
or bill, OOOD FOR (face value) IN
TAXES, that's all. We would then
have a dollar bill that nobody would
refuse, for everybody pays taxea. The
dollar would then be backed by the
government Instead of gold and sil
ver. Who can deny that a dollar
backed by the national reaourcea of
our great country would be more
secure than the gold dollar? A gov
ernment dollar backed by ourselves,
the people can never fall.
Mr. President, give us a dollar, for
the people, of the people, and by the
people.
Respectfully yours,
ARCHIE PARKER.
