that question. Tho only difference
between this currency plan and the
bond plan, is that there's no interest
to be paid and the money merchants,
who do nothing to build the dam and
deserve nothing, will get nothing."
"But how is all this going to stop
war?"
"Simply because if tried here at
Muscle Shoals, this plan will prove so
overwhelmingly and amazingly suc
cessful that the American people will
never again consent to issuance of an
interest bearing bond for an internal
improvement. When the Government
needs money it will raise it by issuing
currency against its imperishable nat
ural wealth. Other countries, seeing
our success, will do likewise. The
function of the money seller will have
disappeared."
"What would be the attitude of
other countries about accepting this
money based on Muscle Shoals?"
"There need be no difficulty about
that. Some of our currency even to
day is not acceptable .to foreign
countries in payment of debts. Gold
is the international basis. Muscle
Shoals is a national, not an interna
tional matter. This money would only
be for use at home."
"Do you expect congress will act
favorably on your suggestion?"
"Well, I don't know as to that.
Maybe they won't. But I'll bet the
average American citizen will see the
righteousness, the soundness and the
common sense,' of this thing.
"No matter what becomes of this
suggestion, I shall act so that no
money speculator will make anything
out of Muscle Shoals, even if I have
to take up the whole bond issue my
self. I will see that the interest goes
toward lowering the cost of the pro
duct. Understand that I am suggest
ing how this project can be financed
in a better way; but if this is not
done, we stand ready to do our ut
most to save the people ,from the
enormous interest charges by taking
it ourselves and turning it back into
the plant.
"My. ambition is not to own Muscle
Shoals, but to complete it, develop
it, get it working, and then fix it so
that it can never be exploited for
private ends but shall always remain
in the service of all the people,
their own property, operated for their
own benefit."

Bundeson's office was the result q a
raid on the Plymouth Hotel, 4700
Broadway, on March 13. Among the
couples arrested were a man and a
woman who gave their names as
George Ruskln, 22, Plymouth Hotel,
and Anna Nichols, 20, 833 Montrose
Avenue. Both names and addresses
were fictitious. When the caso came
up in tho Morals Court it was con
tinued. Meanwhile the 20 years old
girl, was examined and sent to the
Lawndale hospital. Yesterday she re
turned to court, and was pronounced
i cured. She was discharged and the
youth arrested with her was fined
$10. A medical examination caused
him to be turned over to the health
authorities. In Dr. Bundeson's office
the g7rl, the youth, and the girl's
father faced each other.
"What should be done with this
boy?" Dr. Bundeson asked the girl's
father. "I have a definite idea of
what sholud be done, but I will let
you pass sentence." Then the father
gave his "single standard" decision:
The boy broke into tears. His father
had been kept in ignorance of his
plight through the assumed name.
If he were forced to spend a month
in a hospital the father, a wealthy
furrier, would learn of it. In des
peration he called his father on the
telephone. The father hurried to the
health department. "I'll pay a larg
er fine," he announced, but Dr.
Bundeson only permitted the girl's
father to reiterate his sentence. "I'll
promise you that my boy will receive
expert medical treatment at once and
that he will remain at home until he
is cured," the father entreated, "let
him go." Dr. Bundeson turned to
the girl's father, who is a south side
business man. The latter remained
adamantine. "What was fair for my
girl is fair for your boy," he declared.
The young man spent last night in
the county hospital. The girl went
home with her father.
Under the health department rules,
the names of venereal disease victims
are not made a part of any public
record. Following this practice, The
Tribune does not include the real
names of the girl and the boy in its
account of the case.
SINGLE STANDARD OF MORALITY
(From Chicago Tribune, April 14,
1922.)
. A father of a daughter sat in judg
ment on another father's son yester
day in the office of Health nnmmtc
sioner Herman N. Bundeson and ap-
pnea cue single standard of moral
ity with an iron hand. The tears of
the son and the entreaties of his
father failed to move the girl's
father, who had been given permis
sion by Dr. Bundeson to "Pass sent
ence" on the case. "Let the boy lose
his liberty, as my girl did, until he is
fit to enter society again," said the
girl's father. "What is fair for the
woman is fair for the man as well."
Incidentally, Dr. Bundeson an
nounced that hereafter the age old
"double standard" will ho AtonnwAaA
In dealing with venereal disease
cases, me policy of the health
authorities which until, yesterday
resulted in court orders sending wom
en found to be infected with a vene
real disease to the Lawndale hospital
and permitted the "man in the case"
to go free, has been subjected to
much criticism and has brought -forth
many resolutions from women's
clubs. "Hereafter man and women
will be treated exactly alike. "Dr
Bundeson said:" "The law says it is
the duty of the health commissioner
to isolate contagious disease victims.
Sex is not mentioned. Venereal
diseases are contacrimtn Aanana mu
law will be enforced as Tong as I am
ucuiiu commissioner.
