YOAKUM SEES GOOD TIMES
Finds Business Prospects Fine in
Southwest and no Political Worries

B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the
st. Louis & San Francisco Railroad
system, said yesterday. upon his re-
turn from a trip through the South
west. which lasted several weeks:
"The people are too busy at pres
ent looking after their fine crops to
to give politics even little thought
Prices are good on most all food
stuffs. Beef cattle are being bought
at the pasture at record-breaking
prices
THE business interests of the
Southwest are not alarmed over
which one of the presidential can
didates may be elected. They have
grown tired of political discussion.
and feel secure in the business and
prosperity of the country, regardless
Of who stands at the head of the ad-
ministration. What candidates for
office say during a campaign for sup
port is soon forgotten, and their at
titude after election, when they
must assume a responsibility which
may mean adversely or prosperity to
the people, is quite a different story
eve are headed for a big business,
one that will be on solid founda-
ton, and different in that respect to
the unsound overspeculated condi-
ton that existed when the disastrous
slump in business overlook us in
1907.
The entire Gulf Coast country,
along the Gulf of Mexico to the Rio
Grande river, constitutes the most
fertile and prosperous country in the
world. This for three reasons:
1T shows the largest production
per acre
Its climatic conditions are such
that crops can be produced every
month of the year
Its nearness to the large markets
of the country, giving it an advan-
tage over other sections for early
marketing, which always insures
good prices.
Another thing that is going to
add greatly to the advantage of the
South and Southwest is the opening
of the Panama Canal. That new
water gateway places that section on
the map in a stronger position than
it has ever occupied before. and
nothing can check the rapid growth
which is now under way.
you can be sure of one thing:
Politics, so far as it affects business
is going to be pushed aside, and with
the continuation of present crop con,
ditions we are on the eve of the bes
and most substantial business tn,
country has ever experienced. =
