FOR FlEICHER'S
CA 8 TO
Hopeful View Taken BY Ebert H
Gary Of Business Conditions.

New York, Dec. 29.-The present
economic depression in the United
States is the result Of natural and
necessary readjustments" and until
they are completed, 1--WE may not ex-
pect all we might hope for" Ebert
H. Gary, chairman Of the board OF
directors of the United States Steel
corporation, declared here today
While there are "many things in the
general atmosphere which are dis
quoting" he said he is as hopeful
and confident of the future as he has
been at any time.
Attributing conditions throughout
the world-criminal outbreaks, revo-
lutions, quarrels, and the disposition
to get something for nothing, even by
force, if need be-to the war, he de-
clared, "the capitalist has been using
his wealth to unreasonably, if not
unfairly, increase his fortune"
Mr.. Gary asserted "the golden rule
in business has been temporarily sus-
pended" but the majority Of people
have some excuse, he said, because
they have been informed of the ex-
ample of their national administra.
tions."
public authorities, or some OF
them," he added, shave been guilty
| of some of the offences to which
have alluded. Future generations
looking back to the present, will be
amazed in contemplating how near
insane large number of the public
officials and private individuals have
seemingly been.
"The United States" he said, "has
demonstrated that, with the exercise
of the proper spirit and the utiliza.
ton of its natural resources, and it's
forces, can master any economic stu.
ations far worse and more difficult
than the present situation.
The reason there have not beer
more failures in business, Mr.. Gary
pointed out, is because of the vast
wealth of this country, it's vast re.
sources and the best spirit in the
finest people in perhaps the greatest
country in the world.
"There is abundant proof" he add
ed, "that money in the United State:
is plentiful, and those who have the
money are to spend it just as soor
as selling prices are considered fair
reasonable and stable"

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT MAY
SAVE IBERIANS MONEY.
Chautauqua Adopts No-profit Basis
That Should Interest Iberia.

An event of far-reaching consequ-
ence occurred recently in Portland
when the Ellison White Bureau, OPP
Grating hundreds of Lyceum Courses,
Festivals and Chautauquas through
out the West, placed their business
on a strictly non-protit basis. At
one step this places these entertain
ment and educational assemblies on
the plane of the school, college and
church.
Two years ago Mr.. Ellison and
Mr.. White were prime movers in an
attempt to place all bureaus in the
United States on non-profit basis. 1t
was defeated through selfish interest
on the part of some of the smaller
companies of the East. The West
ern firm has now taken the step and
it is expected that within few years
the movement will be nation wide.
The new organization takes the
name of the Ellison White Lyceum
and Chautauqua Association. 1t is
sponsored by some Of the leading men
and women of the Pacific Coast.
There are nine members on the
board of trustees, seven of whom
will be elected from year to year by
the Lyceum and Chautauqua patrons
in the different districts.
The Ellison-White Chautauqua and
Lyceum business was founded in 1913
by J. R. Ellison of Portland, and c..
H. White of Boise, Idaho. In eight
years it has grown from tiny COM
pany to the largest organization of
it's kind in the U. S., operating
either Lyceum, Festivals of Chautau-
quas in practically every town of the
West. Several hundred people are
employed the year around and ap-
proximately three and a third mil
lion people in the Western States at
tended their Lyceum and Chautauqua
assemblies during the past year
Offices are also maintained in Cal
gary, Alberta, and Auckland, New
Zealand. In 1919 the New Zealand
Chautauquas were placed on non
profit basis and it is expected that
the Canadian department will also
| follow in the near future.
In a Portland interview the other
day Mr. Ellison said, "For years Mr..
White and / have felt that the Ly-
ceum and Chautauqua was too big ar
institution to be operated for private
profit. 1t has been our drem te

one purely of service. l believe oul
reorganization has effected this. Nov
the Lyceum and Chautauqua car
truly take its place with the school

The Iberian does not know jus
what effect this new non-profit basis
will have on our contract with Eli
SON. White Chautauqua for thei1
weeks engagement here in April, bu
expect to get fuller information il
u the near future.

PRESIDENT NEARS DE
CISION ON SEVERAL IMPORT
ANT MEMBERS OF CABINET.

MARION, Dec. 29.-After weeks
Of consideration and consultation,
President Elect Harding is nearing
a decision on several of his most
important cabinet appointments.
It may be said authoritively that
SO far no such decision had been
made and that any suggestions he
may have dropped on the subject
have been of tentative and indefin-
tie nature. It is equally certain
however, that in his talks here with
leaders in many walks Of life, he has
indicated clearly what men are up
permost in his mind and he asks
for advice on the makeup of his Of
fetal family.
Those who have discussed the ques-
ton with him intimately believe that
appointments under very serious
consideration include the following
Charles E. Hughes, secretary Of
state.
Charles G.. Dawes Of Illinois, Sec
rotary of the treasury.
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts,
secretary of the navy.
w. H. Hayes of Indiana, postma.
ter general, or secretary of the in.
terror.
Henry Wallace of Iowa, secretary
of agriculture.
Herbert Hoover of California, sec.
rotary of labor.
Harry M. Daugherty, attorney
general.
How many Of these actually will
be given the places for which they
now are most prominently mentioned
is a question that even Mr.. Harding
himself is not yet prepared to an.
swer. Already several shifts have
been made in his tentative appoint
ment slate, as he has worked his way
towards a balanced and harmonious
cabinet and other changes are ex-
pected before the last decision is
made.
It is certain that for several Of
the places mentioned the president,
elect has more than one man under
consideration and that the list Of
