Era of Prosperity for Next
Decade Seen by Henry
c. Adams.
DEPRESSION DISAPPEARS.
OF BUSINESS MEN
WILL STAND THEM IN GOOD
STEAD INSTEAD OF GRIPPING
THE COUNTRY.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Prosperity
better and saner than the United
States has ever known before, is fore
seen for the next decade by Prof. Hen
ny c. Adams, twenty years in charge
of statistics and accounts for the Inter
state commerce commission Prof.
Adams is recognized as one of the
closest students of industrial and fin
ancial conditions in the service of the
government. His intimate associa-
ton with the railroads and their ope-
ration has given him a thorough in
sight into business conditions.
The commissions statistician has
reached the conclusion that business
in all lines will soon return to normal
conditions to be succeeded quickly by
extraordinary prosperity in every de-
partment of industrial activity. Both
capital and labor in his opinion, are
on the dawn of a new day.
Prof. Adams declared that the hold
er of stocks is about to come into his
own. He regards the depression that
followed the panic of last October as
a blessing in disguise, in that it will
insure economy by preventing the re-
turn of reckless confidence that was
engendered by too much and too long
good times.
Depression Almost Over.
We,are now almost through the bus
mess depression, he said. 1t was pre-
coded by a period of intense business
activity. Inevitably during such a
period, men lose more or less of their
caution. In such times everything
seems prosperous and the future prom
Using, andsthere is less care taken to
watch details of management and ex-
penditures. So when the depression
comes and revenues fall away the
mf ayers cast about for means to re-
duce expenses. They have been find
ing out for the larger part of year
where to make economies, where they
were permitting part of their money
to go into avoidable expense. They
have been taking in the slack, getting
things on the safe and secure basis.
1t has been a severe experience, but
from the standpoint of the share hold
er it has been a really good thing.
Prof Adams is firm believer in the
periodical recurrence of panics.
which he believes come with almost
clockwork regularity every twenty
years with smaller financial depres-
sions intervening.
1t is acknowledged by Prof Adams
that the closer connections established
between business and transportation
concerns will render future panics less
disastrous than in the past
