Colorado Senator Drafts Plan to Issue United States Notes
Senator Shafroth of Colorado prepares a bill to replace national bank notes with full legal tender United States notes redeemable in gold. The plan calls for canceling gold certificates as Treasury holds a 50 percent gold reserve to back the new notes and replace 2 percent bonds with 3 percent bonds, claiming $14,830,966 annual savings in interest and a noninflationary shift to government control of currency.
