Washington, Dec. 5.-The close OF
the business year of 1920 is describ-
ed by the federal reserve board in a
statement tonight as the turning
point in the transition from war pro-
duced conditions to the normal eco
nomic basis of industrial life.
The reserve boards statement
which reviews the economic and fl
nancial situation confronting the ma
tion during the year, treats of pres
ent conditions generally in an opti-
mistic manner, declaring that the
difficulty of transition will not be
much further aggravated. 1t also as
serts that owing to the nations
strong banking structure, normal
situation will be restored with far
less than the usual distress usually
attendant on periods of readjustment.
The board declares that previous
periods of marked readjustment have
been accompanied by sharp reduction
in prices, heavy decreases in produc-
ton, extensive unemployment and
business reaction, often involving
bank failures. While necessarily un-
comfortable, the transition through

turning point in production.
The slowing down of the export
trade Of the United States during the
wear is attributed to the exchange sit
uation, which, it asserts, has steadily
deteriorated. Americas export seems
to be closely conditioned upon the
volume of imports, the board says,
and warrants the inference that there
should be a larger movement Of goods
into the United States as a result of
the extensive credits granted foreign
countries.

hors and governors-ele representins
more than half the states of the un-
ion, voted at their annual conference
here today to begin an inquiry into
what was variously called "acute, y
alarming" and tragic" situation fac
ing farmers of the country with a
view to recommending federal legis-
lation to assist them.
AS first step toward carrying out
their plan, which was suggested by
Gov. w. L. Harding, of Iowa, the con-
ference appointed committee, con.
sisting of Governors Harding, Bick-
EFT, of North Carolina, Holcomb, of
Connecticut; Parker, of Louisiana,
and Goodrich, of Indiana, to make
preliminary survey and report back
before the convention adjourned. At
ter that it is contemplated to send
the committee to Washington>to urge
legislation before congress which con-
venes this month.
The object of the state executives
which is said to be without parallel
in the history of American. govern
ment is for the organization of COVER
nors to suggest to congress and &C
lively advocate passage of legislation
necessary to refund the debts of far
mers who are pinched by falling mar
kets with heavy stocks Of surplus pro-
ducts on hand, so as to give them a
year or more to recoup losses and wait
for a Strengthening market. 1t is sup
posed to do this through extension of
adoption of the federal reserve sys-
tenn.
Foreign Made Plan.
A second proposal, also scheduled
to receive consideration by the COM
mittee, is another by Governor Har-
dong that a foreign trade corporation
be formed to finance purchases of
American farm products by foreign
countries unable, through present
lack of funds to come into the Amer
lean market.
Acting on Governor Harding's sug-
gestion Governor Beckett introduced
a resolution providing for appoint
ment Of the committee to act under
instructions of the conference and
take the propositions up with con-
gress direct. This motion received
second and was about to be voted on
when it was objected to, that the con-
stitution of the governor conference
forbade formal resolutions or action
of the sort. At this, Governor Sproul
Of Pennsylvania, pointed out that no
such formal action was necessary and
at the call of Governor Bamberger, of
Utah, who presided, a vote was taken
on the suggestion to appoint the COM
mittee informally Appreciation of
the governors was overwhelming.
One voice. that of Governor Ed
wards, of New Jersey, was raised in
objection. The eastern executive, who
is a banker, said he thought federal
legislation, such as is contemplated
by hs colleagues, would be "economi-
cally wrong." Conditions should be
left to adjust themselves, he declar-

MORE DANGEROUS

NRARLY -FOUR THOUSAND PER-
SONS KILLED IN 1920.
Increase is Noted.
Census Bureau Says Automobile
Death Rate Gives Food for
Serious Thought.


Washington, Dec. "a total Of
s,S03 persons were killed in auto
mobile accidents Or died as result
of injuries therefrom during last
year the census bureau announced to-
day, in a statement offering sugges-
tions for traffic improvement. An au-
tomobile accident death rate of 14.1
out of every 100000 of persons were
reported for the year 1919, an in
crease over every year since 1915
when the rate was so and an increase
of 245 in the total number of deaths
over 1918.
each year it becomes more and
more dangerous for a person to walk
the Streets" the bureaus state
ment says. "The reason usually CIV
en-, and probably the correct one, is
that the number of automobiles in
use is constantly increasing. How
then shall this ever increasing dan
ger be lessened. The. obvious rene
dy is to improve constantly the traf-
fc regulations to keep pace with
the ever increasing number of auto
biles."
Suggestions made by the bureau
for traffic improvement follow:
Erection at street crossings of
curbed safety islands, which, at the
most dangerous spots, should be very
close together.
Construction of additional cross
ings in the middle of blocks, where
automobiles can approach from only
two directions.
Demonstration of great skill in
driving each machine before grant
ing drivers license for that ma
chine.
Reduction of the speed limit, espe-
cially at crossings.
Fine, revocation of license and I'M
prisonment, each to have it's place as
an autual penalty.
Youngstown, Ohio, leads the list
of sc cities in the automobile death
rate with 2S.5 per 100000, but show
ed decrease from the previous year
when the rate was 31.9. Richmond,
Va, had the lowest rate with SO,
but showed a slight increase over
1918, when it was 5.4.
New York had the largest total
number of deaths with 780, an in
crease of 80 over the previous year
and more than double the number
in 1915. New York's automobile
death rate was 14.O per 100000 per-
sons.
Chicagos total deaths numbered
32S, an increase of 81, death rate
of 1878.

Menace to Existence.

lHeF6 is genuine cause Tor alarm ID
the outlook.
Menace to Existence,
Conditions in Iowa, Governor Har.
ding said, menace the very existence
of the agricultural industry. He urg.
ed on every state Official the necessity
of emergency legislation to protect
farmers from impending ruin.
Few people, he said, realize the ex-
tent to which they are dependent up
on the farmers. Most cities, he de-
clared, "are within 4S hours of star.
vatlon.' The farmers, he warned
are facing conditions under which
they will be unable to supply cities
with the necessities of life.
Production of foodstuffs will posi-.
lively cease in the Mississippi valley
within the next two years if better
conditions are not quickly brought
about, Governor J. B. A. Robertson
Of Oklahoma, told the conference
when he was introduced at lunch,
en- rendered the visitors by the Har.
risburg chamber of commerce.
Governor Robetson told of huge
supplies Of grains and foodstuffs as
we'll as cotton which, he said, have
crowded warehouses in the south
west following bumper crops which
could not be moved from their points
of origin when prices were still high
on account of the car shortage, while
present prices received for the COM
modities are not sufficient to pay ex-
penses of production and transporta,
tion to markets.
Cooper Adds Word.
The same fears were echoed by
Gov. J. H. Bartlett, of New Hamp-
shire, and Governor R. A. Cooper, OF
South Carolina, who added that his
misgivings extended into other fields
of necessary production as we'll.
Governor Cooper emphasized the
need to preserve the morale of the
country in facing the difficult situa-
tion growing out of disproportionate
relations existing between supply and
demand complicated by labor and
transportation conditions.
He said necessary readjustments
can not take place without casual
ties, adding that it was foolhardy to
could be weathered without some
bankruptcies"
Other activities of the conference
today included a discussion of the

by Governor Allen, of Kansas, and a
