The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1921-09-29

Theodore II. Price, in his weekly
review, quotes a long list Of head
lines Of different parts of the coun-
try, all Of which are to the general
effect that business is improving in
many lines. Commenting on this he
saws: "The detail Of the weeks rec
ord seems TO justify the almost I'M
animous optimism that now seems to
be felt"
His review amply bears out this
statement, and other matters in the
days news support IL. AS If in re-
ply 10 the nervous feeling over the
reduced cotton export of last week,
news comes from Great Britain,
where the chief falling off occurred,
of a better cotton situation and an
improved outlook. From all the do
nestle markets come optimistic re-
ports. and the inflated financial sit
uation in Germany seems to be the
only cloud on the horizon. Increased
gold supply during the week in the
United States and lower discount
rates at New York and Boston, which
may be expected TO spread 20 other
reserve districts, improve the finan-
cial situation. Steel prices have i'm
proved, and there is every reason

THEODORE PRICE SAYS CONDITIONS
JUSTIFY THE ALMOST UNANIMOUS
OPTIMISM THAT SEEMS TO BE FELT

20 believe that employment increas-
ed during the week. OF significance
TO the cotton market, and therefore
TO this entire section, is the fact that
employment increased nearly 10000
during the week in England.
From all parts Of the country come
reports Of increased bank clearances
and, what is even more significant,
increased building. The latter is one
of the best signs that has appeared
since the rise in cotton. And there
is every promise that this will con-
tinue to increase during the next few
months.
All influences at the moment are
in the direction Of improved business
but one, and curiously enough that
is the one that has made the most
promises and done the most Boosting.
We mean the Republican majority in
Congress. Congress is in session
again and ought soon TO tackle the
too long delayed legislation which
business needs. The revenue bill
drawn by the Senate Finance Com
mittee is not ideal, and too much,
perhaps. should not be expected of
It. Ii is to be regretted that dema-
gogic influences have prevented il

AWAkEING TO THE NEED
OF EDUCATING CHILDREN

l.. J. Atkinson Of Bonham express
es the opinion in an interview in
the Dallas News that the people Of
Texas are coming TO realize more
than ever the value Of education. lie
cites the increased attendance at
schools and colleges Of all kinds in
the State this year, as indicated by
early reports. "The fact, as | see
It," he says, sis that the fathers and
mothers who did not place a great
deal Of faith in an education as n
business asset for young men, have
watched the fellows who have pre-
pared 10 outstrip their own children
In time Of stress, and are seeing
10 Il that others in their families are
not going TO start out under the
handicap Of a limited education"
There may be something 10 this, but
the fact remains that the percentage
81 boys and girls In Texas who reach
the high schools u still very low.
There still remains much 20 be de-
sired, both In the Kind OF education
We are providing for our children.
and the percentage % parents who
realize that almost any sacrifice Il
justified Ia obtaining an education
~ their children. Hut u Il fact
that progress Il being made. and that,
a least. n gratifying. Worth
Record.

from being a much better measure.
But il is an improvement on the
present law and will do considerable
TO stimulate revival when il becomes
law. II has been temporarily side
tracked for the treaties with Ger
many, Austria and Hungary, but
these should be out Of the way soon.
The re-establiishment Of legal peace
will also be a stabilizing influence,
but not so great as Il might have
been had il come year or more ago.
Congress has before It another i'm
portant measure 70 business in the
railroad funding bill. Eugene Mey-
er Jr.. chairman Of the War Finance
Corporation, expresses the confident
belief that the passage Of this bill
would mean the employment Of a
million men at a conservative esti-
mate.
"Not only would the railroads, by
the passage Of this bill, be put in the
position Of meeting their unpaid ac-
counts already past due" he says,
but they would be able TO go ahead
with their maintenance-of-way and
repair-of equipment work. This
would directly employ a very large
number Of men. In addition TO the
direct labor we may count the in
direct labor involved in producing
and transporting lumber for ties and
iron and steel used for maintenance
or repairs. There is also TO be count
ed the labor in the mining OF the
ore, the transportation thereof, the
mining Of the coal and the manufac-
turing Of the coke to turn the ore
into iron and steel, the labor in the
iron furnaces, in the steel plants, and
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1921-09-29

in the finishing plants. The employ
ment Of all these men would give
them and their families an enlarged
purchasing power which in turn
would put large additional numbers
Of men 70 work"
In view Of all this, pressure should
be brought upon Congress TO pass
this measure promptly and not frit-
ter away any more time. The unem-
ployment conference which convenes
in Washington might look into this
AZ the very outset, for we are con-
WINGED that il would do more for the
immediate relief Of the country by
urging the prompt passage Of this
bill, than by outlining a program Of
increased public works which must
mean also increased taxes and in
creased burdens on business.
With this outlook for the future,
the action taken by business men in
New York 10 institute a Buyers
Week." or more properly a buyers
two weeks, as that will be it's dura-
ton, is very timely. Philadelphia,
and Newark, n. j., already have fall
len in line 10 follow New York's ex-
ample in this, and the movement
ought 10 spread 20 include the whole
country. The country can stand two
weeks intensive buying without dan
ger Of an after-effect, for all the Ill
innate influences are for continued
Improvement. Such a period Of buy
ing in which the people Of the coun-
try supplied all their immediate needs
a. one time would do a great deal
90 stimulate business and get US on
the way.
