posed to alimony in principle. In a
majority of cases where alimony is
granted we believe that it is on the

that the best possible monetary poljs at this time is

There are reasons to believe that Roosevelt has

He has vast powers for inflation of currency which
he has not used. Some time ago he let it be known
that he was figuring on • return to the 1924 price
level and his decision to refuse to participate Imcur-
rency stabilization at London was explained in a
way to confirm that intention.
Prices shot up in anticipation But they paid no at-,
tention to purchasing power. Economists here- -there
are hundreds of them -went into agitated huddles.
That development simply didn't square with the big
recovery campaign. The economists fell that Roose-

BENERLCIAL OPPOSITION -
Sometimes intense oppositica to some public pro-
ject actually aids those in favor of it. The nation-
wide objections against the construction of Boulder
Dam made the project seem far greater than Its real
importance- to-the country as a Whole and added
much support to project outside of Southern Cal-
. fornia. ——
Perhaps the strong opposition of Governor Murray
to the proposed Red river dam near Denison will have
the same effect. For a number of years this project
has been mentioned, but there has been little public
demand for it. But now that the Oklahoma governor
denounces the project and further declares that he
wil call out the militia to stop any attempt to dam
the Red river in the suggested area, a lot of citizens
of both Texas and Oklahoma are going to give the

CURBING SPECULATION
The New York Stock Exchange has taken some
rather drastic steps to curb speculation, such as re-
quiring weekly reports on pool operations and rats-
— ing the margins that must be deposited when- stocks
are purchased. A few years ago, and even a few months
: ago. such restrictions were considered impossible by
the governors of the exchange who always have held
out for a minimum of regulation affecting brokers
and their relations with their customers.
But within recent weeks the dangers of speculation,
espectaly by those who have only a small interest in
the market, have been emphasized. The recent de-
- cline was attributed in part to the selling out of small
speculative marginal accounts which were inade-
