Dear Mr* Eccles~:

It was with very much interest and approval that
I read your letter to Senator Rpyd, !•»ttia/ym*wqmimw^7%y>h lamiA nt
The United States News*
January
If you have not already done so I wish you would read the article
in the December 27th number of the same paper by Representative
Wade Kitchens of Arkansas* If your economic philosophyxtlix will
permit you to endorse that larticle also, I hereby suggest that
you be nominated
for President of The United States of America
in 1940* Being a banker with sensible economic thoughts you should
be a winnerWho ami 1}
Just an ordinary man of the streetcelebrating my 72nd
birthday to day • I,am a registered Republican w$o thinks as
a party they have gone hay wire * I am a strong supporter of
Roosevelt , as I am one of those independent fellows who votes as
I think best even though the laws of this state do not allow me to
be as independent at the primaries*
If the members of Congress could only know how strong many voters
feel in favor of such ideas and as far as I can learn even many
actual members of Congress have the same thoughts, they would
do something worth while on this subject*
I wish copies of both could receive a wider circulation than tl
now have *
Thank you sincerlj^i tj t

money $ an equal amount of taxation should be levied payable
by the people tfithin a fixed period of years , so as to
prevent an ever inflation of moneyf unless there is a better
way advocated* People should become yax conscious« Bonds should
never be issued by the Government or any political suddifriaion*
