Citizen control If the Federal Government failed to
act, or acted wrongly in the supply of money, the
citizens would use the ballot or recall petitions to
replace those who prevented correct action with others
whom the people believe would pursue a better money
policy. Since the creation of money and its issuance in
sufficient quantity would be one of the few functions of
Parliament, the voter could decide on a candidate by his
stand on money instead of the hundreds of lesser, and
deliberately confusing, subjects which are presented to
us today. And since money is, and would remain, a
national function, local differences or local factions
would not be able to sway the people from the nation's
(citizens' interest). All other problems, except the
nation's defense, would be taken care of in the
provincial and local governments where they are best
handled and most easily corrected.
