Refunding law fails to fix bank note elasticity
Washington reports show the refunding law undercuts its goal as high 2 percent bond prices push banks to sell bonds for profit rather than back note issues. Treasury data indicate sustained bond-based currency decline, with February quotas filled and March withdrawals rising. Banks redeem more notes at the Treasury, revealing notes as promises to pay and highlighting potential gains from a credit currency system. Senator Fairbanks pursues a $7 million executive state and justice building, meeting President Roosevelt who supports multi-department use. Peru postmaster reappointment urged. Franklin county pension board picks Republican Dr. Linegar and Dr. Irwin Roberts along with Democrat Dr. Patterson.
