J c c t I T C s I f i ( t THE PLATTSMOUTH, PAGE FOUR Greenback Party Basing Campaign On Funny Money By WILLIAM P. LUCE United Press Staff Correspondent CRARYVILLE, N. Y. (U.R) John G. Scott, presidential nominee of the Grecnlck Party, is con ducting his campaign this year on a budget limited to "postage and prayer.' Running under the slogan, "Stop Boom-Bust!", Scott is pledged to an eight-point pro gram, including paying off the national debt, halving inflation . and paying pensions to 12,000,000 persons ail without raising taxes'. Scott said he will make cam paign trips only "where expenses are paid by those requesting? trips and talks." He proposes to fulfill his cam paign promises by taking "funny money" out of circulation. In the monthly newspaper Money, .which he edits', "funny money" is described like this: Cites Figures "Officials of the U. S. Treasury say we have minted and printed about $23 billion in cash money. . . . About $11 billion is all the cash money we have in this coun try . . . Treasury officials also tell us' we have on deposit in the banks $155 billion. How can we deposit 14 times as much money as we have in the whole country? "The answer is easy. AU ex cept the $11 billion in ish is funny money .... Funny money is manufactured in commemcial banks with a fountain pen, ink arl. paper; it is jus't bank book keeping, figures in bank books. That's why we call it funny mon ey." Scott doesn't kid himself about winning the election and moving into the White House. The place of minor parties in American political life, he said, is in their "educational and pro test standing; unless' God seeks to use us to accompish the im possible." Scott gives Henry A. Wallace's party an important place in to day's political picture. He said he believes Wallace will poll a bout 10,000,000 votes', which will be "a healthy protest to brassiat rule." Runs Small Farm Scott is a retired school teacher who now describes himself as a "subsistence farmer." He lives' on a small f m here, about 40 miles south of the state capital at Al-' bany. For 12 years he has been editor and publisher of Money. It was probably his writing in Money which brought him the presiden tial nomination. Scott's' running mate is Gran ville B. Leake, South Bend, Ind., an ex-preacher and farmer. The Greenbackers have been on the American political scene almost as long as the Republicans. The party was organized in Indi anapolis, Ind., in 1874. The party has been active in most elections since then, except for a pperiod when it supported William Jennings' Bryan on the basis of his "free s'llver" platform.
