MAX WINKLEH, Johann Goethe. His Anniversary. Paper Currency. Copyright, 1932, by North Americas Newspaper Alliance.

Today Tuesday, March 22 the one hundredth anniversary of the death of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and scholars the world over are honoring the memory of Germany's great poet and philosopher. To most people, however, the name implies lyrics, pro- lound drama, excellent 'novels. Many praise him for the universality of- his genius and refer to his researches in the exact sciences, including optics, botany and astronomy. Few realize that the poet philosopher of whom Napoleon said when he saw him, "Voila un homme goes a real a rather clear conception of finance. The poet's reference to inflation, this post-war financial phenomenon which lias enriched hundreds and impoverished -minions, constitutes, a classic.

It is only regrettable that but little attention has been directed to this phase, of Goethe's works. To be sure, it. Is-not here that the poet'cxcels. the second part of his masterpiece, "Faust," Goethe chancellor ofthe: exchequer of an impoverished 'applies to many lands to the precarious social, economic and fi-r nancial position of his government. "Reason," this chancellor says, "is of no avail to the mind; kindness of jip use to the heart; nor willingness to the hand, when throughout the length and breadth of the land lawlessness obtains within the nation's law; when honest; people bow before the dishonest; -when flattery and corruption are met everywhere; and where even judges who must not convict make common cause with the criminal." The secretary of the treasury complains bitterly because of the drastic declines'In "Who," he exclaims, "is in a position to come to the financial assistance of his neighbor? Every one hoa his own worries.

The sources of Income are blocked; each scrimps and saves and hoards; and the nation's treasury remains empty." Resort In the play is had to an instrument which played so significant a part in the post-war period printing press. Salvation from financial ailments and solution of economic difficulties were sought and at the manufacture of paper which was to perform the functions of real money, Jhat Is, notes backed by adequate metallic cover. The kingdom to which Goethe alludes aiso indulges in an orgy of inflation. Bank notes are being produced, In denominations of one thousand crowns. As security, the nation pledges the wealth which lies buried in the ground.

The ruler suspects the sudden change. "Do my people," he inquires, "accept this paper as real money? Is jt possible to bring about such conditions without being called to suffer the consequences?" Paper money, he is told, In lieu of gold and precious metals, is very convenient. Thanks to its abundance, one may Jive In joy and happiness. People grow accustomed to it. In the event that one should desire specie In place of paper, the treasury is prepared to effect the exchange, provided it possesses enough of the precious metal.

In the absence of the latter, it merely points to the gorld that Is burled underground. Thus is brought about an era of prosperity, spurious to be sure, but welcome to all while it lasKs.

Chase Aftci Automobile Is Related at Trial Charging Attempted Extortion The arrest of Steve Fournler, 21, found hiding in a snowbank the night of last Jan, 13 alongside the Silver Bow creek while the thermometer stood at 35 below zero was related to a Jury in criminal court yesterday during the second day of the trial of the 21-year-old Butte youth, charged with attempted extortion. Seven state's witnesses reached the stand yesterday before a courtroom packed to the doors with hundreds of spectators and indications point to the case not reaching the jury before some lime Thursday.

The defendant, who is charged Jointly with James Hannifin, 21, with attempting to extort $1,000 from T. H. Oaas on threat of injury to Oaas' three children, is the first man to face trial on the charge In this county. George H. Buss was found guilty of actual extortion in 1918 here and sentenced to six months to one year's Imprisonment in the state penitentiary.

Highlights of yesterday's session was the testimony of James Steele and W. C. Long, mine watchmen, who together with Officer George Tompklns of the police force, apprehended the defendant following an exciting automobile chase through the city ending near the old Centennial brewery southwest of Butte. Both witnesses testified they found the defendant, "half-frozen In a snowbank" near the creek. He readily submitted to arrest, the watchman said.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland, March Ulster authorities tonight ordered extensive police precautions against the danger of an outbreak of violence between Free Slate and North Ireland extremists on the anniversary next Sunday of the republican Easter rebellion. Officials Indicated that Ihey were completely confident of the ability of police to maintain order, but it was obvious that there was considerable apprehension in connection with the plans of the Free State Irish republican army, which war outlawed under the former William Cosgrave regime, to celebrate the anniversary. It was feared that as a result of President DC Valcra's action in sus- public safety act In the Free State, there might be riotous demonstrators who over-step the boundary and clash wllh their political foes in Ulster, as In 192! and 1932.
