KILLING BUSINESS
From Chicago ''Daily

Business men everywhere are ask
I ing what is the real condition of bust
ness, and what are the prospects for
the near future. Theories and pre-
judices SO often color opinions on
this subject that they are practically
useless. Probably there is nothing
tina. gives the absolute truth more
correctly than the advertisements Of
Help Wanted" in daily newspapers.
When business is good. business men
advertise for more help and the num-
Der of these advertisements increases
or decreases with the rise and fall of
business.
Advertisements of Situations Wan:.-
ed" are not as correct a barometer OF
business conditions because when
there is general dullness in any line
of trade the workers in that line know
they can gain nothing by advertising
for situations.
A careful examination of the Help
Wanted advertisements in the daily
papers Of twenty-eight leading cities
from the Atlantic to the Missouri riv-
er, for the week beginning March 2,
1913, and the week beginning March 1,
1914, shows falling of Of 29.1s per
cent. Philadelphia shows a decrease
LOT AZ per cent; Kansas City, 40 per
cent; ST. Louis, 35 per cent: Worces-
ter, Mass, 35 per cent; Detroit, 1888
per cent: Cleveland, 33 per cent; Gin
cinnati, 33 per cent; Grand Rapids,
Mich, IS per cent: Indianapolis, "a
per cent; Louisville, Atlanta and New
Orleans show slight gains. Situations
Wanted" advertisements In same
cities show gain Of per cent.
Reports from different lines of bust
ness in these cities verify the ac-
curacy of these figures as showing
that business has fallen of to an
alarming extent.
The increase in idle cars as given
by the American Railway association
gives still further evidence OF relax
ing trade The number Of idle cars
January ], 1914, as compared with
17,50S January l, 1913, was 1Ss,s50,

half Of April, 1914, will show still
greater proportionate increase in idle
cars.

that it's management OF the affairs OF
the people is extravagan. and un-
Ibusinesslike One thousand million
dollars a year are being spent to run
the government without any attempt
at either economy or efficiency. Many
people think Of corporations and rail-
roads as great combinations of mil
lionaires, and that these millionaires
are the only ones who are hurt by
which reduced their profits.
AS q matter Of fact the great
majority of the stockholders Of all
corporations are people of moderate

more and more employees are invest
