On the basis Of these reports. John
ii. Patterson, president and general
manager of the Cash Register com
pany, predicted that the APPROACHING
era of prosperity would probably ex-
coed anything this country has ever
known.
AS Il preface 70 his remarks. he re-
viewed the business depression of the
previous two years. This, he said. had
affected all agriculture. mining,
Industry, commerce and finance
Now, he continued. 1.-the boom is
on. Agricultural interests are the first
to feel it. The farmers have record
breaking CROPS, with big demand.
Confidence has been reestablished.
Various. industries have picked up,
one after another. 'Thelr the stores need
ed goods, and factory wheels began to
move. Then commerce and transporta-
ton reflected the change. Finally, it
was manifest III the financial world.
We have plenty, CT money and the best
banking system in the world today.
=. We have three big federal. organi-
cations taking care of these various
interests; First, the interstate COM
mcrce commission; then came the fed
eral trade commission; and, finally,
the federal reserve board, with its
chain CT reserve banks. The value of
these three boards or commissions to
the country cannot be estimated,
Through the aid of the reserve
banks, the various banking institu-
lions of the country began to loan
money where people could not get it
before. Now, with big crops ana big
demands, with little foreign compete

wireless biography became an estab-

good authorities that there are over
100000 purely amateur wireless sta
tions in the United States, and this
represents all out about $4,000 OF the
purely amateur wireless stations in the
world.
The United States places scarcely a
restriction upon amateurs who estab-
fish only receiving stations-that is,
stations where messages may be re-
ceived but not sent out. The great
majority of the amateur stations are
merely receiving stations. Where the
amateur has a sending instrument he
must pass an examination before a gov
eminent official qualified to give one
and agree TO conform to the strict rules
of the government governing such sta
tions.

HUGE SUM VOTED FOR cITY'S
CHEAPER GAS FIGHT
The city council voted last night
to pay $4,000 for lawyers to get
action against the Peoples Gas Co.
About 100000 which the gas
trust has taken from consumers in
oVercharges will be paid back to the
consumers if the lawyers can win
through.
Real lawyers who will buck up and
smash a legal hole in the bullying
money boxes of the gas trust are
wanted. The lawyers for the job will
be picked by a special committee
named by Mayor Thompson in a
campaign pledge. On the committee
are Aldermen Lawley, Merriam,
Nance, Richert, Utpatel and Healy.
I'm order to free himself of any
charges of personal interest which
might be made, the mayor pledged
himself to appoint this committee
and give it full power of iniative inthe
matter" said Aid. Richert. The only

preparation was illegal.
Every alderman in, the council
voted AYE" for an order that Cor

an ordinance breaking the automatic
phone franchise and starting for

order. 1t calls for copies of the ordi-
nance to be in the hands of all alder
men two days before the next regular
meeting of the council, June IA.
"The first time went to the cor

told the ordinance was practically
complete except for few minor
changes" said Kennedy. 81 came
back in an hour and was then told

Before the mayor could reply, Aid.
Henry D. Captain jumped in with an
explanation that Corporation Counsel
Folsom is holding back the ordinance
to make sure it is ''watertight."
Captain added that because of
important legislation it might be in
opportune to press this matter at this
time" whatever that means.
The six insurgent aldermen, Mer-
riam, Kennedy, Buck, Mccormick,
Kimban and Rodriguez, voted against
confirmation of the mayors appoint
ments. They say they won't vote
eyes" on any appointments unless
the mayor sends in the names of ap-
pOintees week ahead so the records
of appointees can be examined by
aldermen. Their argument is that
either the council should have the
right to know what sort of appointees
it is voting on or else it shouldn't
have confrmatory power at all. Other
council action was:
