ONE USE FOR THE EXCESS GOLD

If the fnancars of the country are worried about the excess of gold
in the United States why not devise a plan whereby this government can
borrow the money al a low rate OF interest, issue bonds against it and use
the proceeds in the development Of irrigation schemes and aiding people
who "a to get back to the soil in getting a start. The scheme is
alruistc in some respects and borders on socialism, but it is better than
the n now in vogue, that of loaning it to the European nations to abet
slaughter.

1t is ar easy matter to pick flaws in the people you meet, and no
great trick to be able to point them out to Others.
However, that is just the sort of pasime that you should avoid.
Finding good qualities is far harder and brings bigger dividends.
From a material standpoint, there is n o particular virtue in be-
ing an expert at easy things:
There is more profit and qualification in accomplishing something
which requires real work and study.
There is SC much more n presenting to our friends the good qualities
of those with whom re come in contact that it is surprising n should
do the opposite.
There must be something human lacking in the makeup of the per

See how many vAites of charm and how many rugged good quail
ties you can discover in even the meanest person you meet. Pass your
discovery along and then watch the person live up to the reputation you
have given him.

Representative Ben Johnson OF
Kentucky has proven his right to a
place in the front rank of Democratic
economists by his recently introduced
bill levying tax of $1.00 per gallon
for each and every cent or fractional
part thereof added to a fixed selling
price of IS cents gallon on gasoline.
If man sells gasoline for 15H cents
per gallon Ben contemplates soaking
him 81 government tax. which, OF
course, would make is Improbable.
If the cost of manufacture, handling
and evaporation, should come to Is
cents there could be no sale for profit.
Johnson's bill is unique, but it is sug-
gested that certain amendments mighr
be germane. For instance, why not
establish fiat retail selling price on
eggs of 20 cents per dozen, any man

better and 6rmer footing of real
prosperity.
More Evidences of Increasing Wealth
Evidences OF the increasing wealth
and prosperity of our larger and moro
, important industrial organizations are
beng added to the records each week
as annual reports are submitted for
public scrutiny. One result of the re-
markable increase in earnings OF
these companies has been the return
| of many of the dividend" class, and
i the increase in the dividends Of Others.
There is no feature that SO popula-izes
an industrial stock with the average
American investor as the fattening or
the dividend check; in this respect
there has been ample cause for gratih-
cation. This is further shown IN the
increase in quotations in the stock of
twelve leading industrials on the
Stock Exchange in the past year. The
Exchange records show that whereas
the average of these stocks one year
ago stood at 81, the same stock COM

One of the most popular of the
Stock Exchange industrials and one
that has brought much qualification to
those who were fortunate enough to
purchase their holdings at the low lev
els, is Bethlehem Steel. From the
annual report of this company, issued
this week, we find that the total net
earnings from operations of the cor
poration and it's subsidiary companies,
after deducting expenditures for ordi-
nary and extraordinary repairs and
maintenance Approximately $780,
0O0), amounted to $24,821 ,408.25, as
compared with $o,649, 667.7l in 1914.
From these earnings were deducted
interest on bonds and notes of sub
sidiary companies amounting to
$2,432,so6lO. leaving $22,478.8l2.15
The following appropriations were
made: Provision for extinguishment
of mining investments, amortization of
patents, etc., $338,9oo.54; provision
for depreciation of other properties
and accruing renewals. $4,377, 900, a
total of $4,715,ooo.S4, leaving as net
income for the year $17,762,8l2.6l. as
compared with $5,5oO,O20.18 for 1914
The orders on hand on December 81,
1915, amounted to $l75,432, $685. ~,
against $46,513,18o.o5 on the cores
ponding date in 1914. The average
number of employees in the United
States in 1915 was 22,O64. against

Mr.. c. M. Schwab, chairman of the
board, in the report, said that at the
beginning of the year 1915 the steel
business of the United States was
much depressed. due to some extent,
to the European war. This condition
was rapidly changed, however, by the
very large orders for steel products
placed in this country bv the various
European governments and by an in
creased demand for domestic consump-
tion. This combined foreign and do
nestle demand has created an uu-
usual condition in the steel industry,
and today there exists an actual
shortage of steel-making capacity in

A gentleman visited Capitol Hill in

previously. A man sitting at a type

been held three weeks before. When

Committee was in session remember
that testimony given at 4 o'clock in

The approach Ct spring weather may
be considered an important factor in
the industrial and trade boom which
already has assumed tremendous pro-
portions, and which is expected to sur
pass every previous record. During
the past two months the heavy SHOWS
which fell over practically the entire
area of the United States greatly i'm
peded traffic and were largely respon-
sible for the heavy freight blockades
in the Eastern territory as we'll as
for the curtailed production of many
industrial plants which are to some ex-
tent dependable upon clear weather
and open-yard facilities in order to
turn out their maximum product.
The great difficulty of the wholesale
houses and manufacturers in recent
weeks has been their inability to fill,
the rush of additional orders which
they might have for the asking. and,
in come instances, which are pressed
upon them without possibility of &C
ceptance. This is particularly true of
the steel trade which, though running
at record capacity, has been booked so
tar ahead on its orders that it is I'M
able to guarantee deliveries in some
instances for year in advance. The
demand for raw material is excessive,
and because of the large volume Of
rush orders on the books of manufac-
turers in the Middle West, it has been
difficult for many concerns to obtain
needed supplies. This condition,
added to the serious car shortage and
the difficulty in obtaining supplies for
the mills, has curtailed business in the
retail centers and has caused short
age in some of the goods for which
there has been an active demand. This
gives further emphasis to the fact that
though our foreign exports have been
extremely heavy it is the domestic
trade that continues to form the bull
wark of our business. American man
ufacturers are selling twenty times as
much goods to home concerns as
they are selling to foreign customers,
and tor that reason the abrupt termi-
nation OF the European war will have
less effect upon their business than
many people think.
