Page Four RUSSIA BURNING PAPER RUBLES; MINTS ARE BUSY Currency Stabilizing on Metal Basis (By The Federated Press) MOSCOW, March 19.—- Today marks another great milestone in the phenomenal economie re-establish- ment of Russia. Metal money is be- ing issued, and silver coins are ap- pearing for the first time since 1915. The paper money is falling for the last time—and this time into the flames. Day and night the fires are going, and billions and trillions and quadrillions of paper rubles are go- ing up in smoke. All the unbagked Peper money not yet in circulation is efng burned, as well as all of the used money, which is gradually being withdrawn from circulation. The stable chervonetz, equal to ten ‘old rubles, has been in circulation lor some time. During the last year the railroads have issued 5-ruble notes which have been used to some extent thruout the republic, and for the last few weeks, 5, 8, and 1-; rab le treasury notes, exchangable at theil face value in gold, have been in eirculatio: A further stage of the money reform is reached today with the issue of small metal coins—i- ruble’ pieces, and 50, 20, 15, and 10- kopeks in silver money. The reform will be completed by May 1, when 5, 3, 2, and 1 kopeks in copper will be issued. The state mint is working top speed coining the money, so that there may be enough to meet the needs of the people. By Oct. 1, 1924, 50,000,000 gold rubles will be issued in metal money and treastry notes, and by Jan. 1, 1925, 100,- 000,000. By that time there will be in circulation in Russia altogether 400,000,000 gold rubles, including the 300,000,000 now in circulation in the form of chervonetz. This amount has been reckoned by finan- cial experts as the amount necessary to satisfy the circulation needs of the country, without threatening the stability of the currency. The money is being coined from metal belong- ing to the state treasury. Amazing Rejuvenation The money reform will have im- mediate and far-reaching results in the economic life of Russia. This step has been in preparation for a long time, but could not have been taken without the re-stablishment of industry and transport and the de- velopment of home and foreign trade that have taken place in the last two years, A stable currency means stil fur- *~*ther development in all branches of industry and agriculture and trade. The workers will greatly benefit by getting the full value of their wages, and are greeting the reform with great joy. Finally, the reform will do a great deal to stabilize.and quick- en trade relations between town and village. There will be an immedi- ate effect on retail prices, and the peasant will at least find it possible to buy the articles of city manufac- ture which he needs. BURNS MUST GO!

The edict has gone forth. The Chicago oil-men will simply have to play the game according to the well tested methods of Col. Robert V. Stewart. The Standard Oil Company of Indiana doesn’t believe in publicity dewces wild, whatéver may be the misguided prefer- ences of John M. Carson, presi- dent of the Taxman Refining Company, John Reynolds of the American Oil Men’s Asso- ciation, and the editors of the Chicago Tribune and the Asso- ciated Press. The Royal Kibosh. In other words, the Standard of Indiana has put the royal kibosh on the well-laid plans of the so-called Chicago Oil Trades’ Committee, headed by Carson, to @tage a mon- ster demonstration of protest against the exposure at Washington of the Teapot Dome scandal, the Harry Sin- clair-Ed. Doheny, Albert Fall-John Shaffer-Ed. McLean-Harry Daugh- erty burglar-bund. Not that the Standard and Col. Stewart were not just as indignant over the effair in the national capi- tal as Carson and Joe Patterson of the Trib and Shaffer of the Post. | Their henchmen had bungled the job, to be sure. McAdoo had been per- fectly silly in admitting that Doheny hundred grand for the purpose of making Mexico safe for the American Pet- rolocracy. How in the world could they ever get anything else over on the Southern Republic with the sus- picion abroad that million dollar fees were being paid for influence? And,| of course, the exposure of newspa- per venality in connection with the Teapot and the other angles of their private affair was very rotten to say the least. - Yes, the Standard was angry. But the Standard is also care- ful—and subtle. The Chicago oil fraternity, in com- pany with the fraternity everywhere else, is very much disturbed over the revelations in Washington. Thus it happens that about a month ago, Carson, who figures publicly as an independent marketer of petroleum j products, but who knows the way down to 910 South Michigan avenue, well conceived the brifliant idea of the public demonstration of protest. So he organized himself into the Chi- cago Oil Trades Committee, had some stationery priated, and started to function. As an afterthought, he got some of the oil men together, and added Joe Mudd of the Marland Re- fining besag :wad’ en Bayard the Acme Petroleum Company, an he about @ score of other Chicago oil = beers pened 08 micsge night. marketers and jobbers to his commit-|*“Xe @ ry rom the sky it was an- tee, and they had a dinner just off nounced that no permit could be is- the Gold Room in the Congress Ho-|Sted, because the oil parade would tel conflict with some other public dem- 4 Ball's AcRalliag eee what eS not a or Carson had already started the Nothing is left but ee havin Ot ball rolling.

Everything was set. The news- paper editors were in # receptive mood, and the grand publicity splash (was scheduled for the present Week. Carson had announced with glee that Mayor Dever was to issue a proclama- tion on designating next week as “Petroleum Week.” Then something happened. in fact something began to happen about a week ago. . Two Department of Justice agents, operating under Director Burns and Attorney General Daugherty, have for several months been investigating the price of gasoline situation in Chicago territory. For the most part they have been comfortably working in the offices of the Standard Oil Company. They are Frank V. Mar- tinek and W. O. Cable. It was sus- pected that Standard might be fixing gasoline and crude prices in Indiana territory, and these men were told to find out how badly the so-called in- dependents were being abused by the giant concern. The Brakes Are Set. So when this something began to happen, announcement of it was made largely thru their efforts. They had some time before they discovered that the Independents were not so angelic in the matter of price fixing as had been claimed, and also that the Standard was a pretty. decent sort of an» outfit after all. That was the sort of information they were cir- culating in the oil trades. But they took time off to tell the oil men interested in John Carson’s scheme ‘for a campaign of education thru the newspapers on the petroleum industry, that the publicity confer- ence had better be called off: There- upon Carson did stop publicity about the proposed conference. But Dock- arty and the petroleum parade waxed louder. Then came Mattinek and Cable whispering to the Marketers and Jobbers on the Oil Trades Com- mittee, that it was very unwise to stage the parade. But the oil committee was deter- mined to go ahead, and it did go ahead, thru Dockarty until recent- ly. Then it stopped going ahead. The city council was to have passed upon the question of granting a per- tors the story of petroleum. He got a contract which carried with it the right to supply builders of floats, the bunting to be used for decorating filling stations, and all the rest. He was an ex-A.

Polikushka id a Russian serf, a stableman on a manor, the owner of which in this case is a woman. She is more kindly than the usual histor- ical feudal lord. Polikushka has a wife and ennumerable small children, and an unconquerable weakness for vodka. From the first he d¢vokes sympathy ag an unkept good natured fellow constantly getting into trou- ble because of his unquenchable thirst, He steals for vodka, passes as a horse doctor to get money for it, gets flogged for theft and is oon- startly assailed by his wife for drunkenness, but he keeps merrily on reeling andsJaughing thru the first part of the photo play—the wife al- ways forgives and the children adore him. Rejoices At Trust, Dutloff, a fellow serf, a house servant in fine clothes, is jealous of Polikushka because the mistress is fond of him, Soldiers are needed for the army and Dutloff wants to send Polikushka. Boyarimin, the noble- woman, refuses to give Polikushka up to the conscripts and -~to hide him away from them she sends him to the city to fetch a large sum of rubles from her gardener. A man in Dut- loff’s own family is sent off to fight for the Czar. The confidence of the mistress and the prospects of the trip make Polikushka very happy but fill his wife with dread. He promises faithfully and swears by the ikon not to touch vodka. With horse and cart and after many farewells to the children he leaves, Polikushka’s Discovery. Withstanding temptation bravely, he passes-up the inns and avoids dvink. altho there was plenty of it at the place he slept where the soldiers were on their way to war, He steals out of the place at dawn with the rubles tucked away in his ragged cap. Sleep overtakes him and while he dreams of a triumphant return with the money and the applause of his family and neighbors the envel- ope containing the rubles is shaken from a rent in his cap as the cart jogs along the bleak Russian high- way. He awakens within sight of home and proudly takes off his cap to secure the rubles, The money is lost. Polikushka becomes a terror- stricken soul rushing madly back over the roadway in frantic search of the precious package. The pic- ture leaves him a pitiful figure ex- hausted on the ground. With hands and legs outstretched in tragic de- spair, He returns home at twilight, feigns a smile to satisfy his wife and steals a rope from the cradle which he conceals under his jacket while food is being prepared, The mistress sends for him and he goes out—bid- ding a mute farewell. Hurrying into a garret he hangs himself where he is found by a woman who has come for clothes hung up to dry. She rushes out and a crowd gathers. The wife who is bathing the baby rushes frantically up the rickety ladder; looks up at Polikushka’s dead body and crumbles to the ground below. A commotion near the cradle rallies her and she tears thru the_neighbor woman to see her drowned baby lifted out of the bath. The kindly old noblewomen tear- fully administers to the mother crazed by the double tragedy. Dutloff finds the rubles; the mis- tress refuses them—it is coin of mus- ‘ortune. A substitute for young Dut- off is bought with the money, As the soldier and revelling friends are coming home they must turn aside for a Juneral procession, On the cart of the ill-fated trip Polikushka’s cof- fin is tied and the smaller box is ear- ried under the arm of a man walk- ing.
