A PROSPERITY BAROMETER.

One of the best barometers of the
prosperity of the country. or the lack
of it, is the building operations in the
cities. And December made the best
monthly record of the year 1915 in
the total of building permits issued.
This has added significance, too, be-
cause December is a winter month
when building operations would nat
urally be at a low ebb and it indi-
Gates that the wheels of prosperity
have finally begun to hum in a most
material manner. The aggregate
building permits of ~ principal cities,
according to official reports received
by the American Contractor, New
York, is $es.526,262, compared with
S37.24O.335 for December, 1914, an
increase of "a per cent. The compar-
alive showing for November was Il
gain of rs per cent; that for October
a gain of AZ per cent; September, 81
per cent; August, IA per cent; while
for the first seven months of the year
there were heavy losses as compared
with the corresponding months OF
1914. Even San Francisco makes a
good showing in December. a remark
ulated construction work in 1914 in
cidental to the Panama exposition.
Only IS of the ~ cities make an ad-
verse report for the month. most of
these losses occurring in the smaller
cities where the report of q single
large office building would be suffi-
cient to turn the scales sharply one
way or the other. New York makes
for the month the remarkable gain
of 173 per cent Chicago gains II per
cent, and Philadelphia ia per cent
Many of the cities of smaller popula-
ton make tremendous gains. And
despite the heavy decline in building
operations during its first seven
months the aggregate building per-
mits for the year 1915 show a gain of
a full five per cent over those for
1914

cheapest and wages are the lowest
No American workingman would live

wages are lowest whenever we have

the ability of the purchaser to buy.

remark than when he said THE

President Wilson proclaimed today
as Jewish Relief day and an especial
effort has been made the country over
to raise some of the funds that are so
sorely needed to relieve the war
stricken Jews of Europe. and especial
ly those of devasted Poland and Ga
licia. The response will no doubt be
rather generous but today should
mark the beginning and not the end
ing of general contributions from all
classes of -.mericans for the succor
of these hard-pressed people. Until
now. most of the help that America
has extended to these victims of the
war has been given chiefly by the
Jews of this country. But the relief
needs are so enormous that it is out
of the question that the Jews should
do it all. If they were in position
to give all they have they couldn't give
enough. Nor should they be expected
to carry such a burden alone If they
could. The progress of the world and
the development of its civilization owe
much to the Jews, and now that many
of them, millions of them in fact, are
the innocent victims of the ruthless
hand of savage war, the world has the
opportunity and is, duty bound, al
most, to discharge a part of this debt.
1t happens, too that the United States
and its people comprise the only con-
siderable portion of the world that is
in a position to pay its share and more
of this debt. The war has touched US
merely to add to our prosperity. The
prosperity of the United States today
is more general and larger than it
has been in several years. We are in
a position to give and to give gener-
ously to all of the war-sufferers
whether they be Jew or Gentle. The
noncombatant Jews of Poland are in
greater distress than were the NAL
treated Belgians. And there are more
of them. The relief that America has
sent to Belgium has been distributed
among and gone to the sustenance of
not more than 100000 Belgians. The
Jewish victims of the war are con-
servatively estimated at 100000
souls. They need everything. food to
stave off starvation, clothing to keep
them warm and even places to lay
their heads. Are we Americans going
to limit or stop our contributions for
their relief to those that were made
today, Jewish Relief day? The an
swer should be a steady stream of
contributions until the needs of the
stricken Jews are met. And Topeka
and all of Kansas should do as well,
at least, by the Jews of Poland as they
did for the Belgians
