The Hammond Kiwanis cub and their
wives we're splendidly entertained last
evening at Phil Smidts place by Ar
thur Swanson Of the Oglivie company
Of Chicago, who, in a short and inten-
sely interesting address explained what
the demands VIII be in the period TO
come on business managers, and the
the tendencies which may be expected
in business and Industrial life in the
next few years.
Mr.. Swanson. who is a business ex-
pert having been connected with the
Northwestern University in that cap
acity a one time, pointed out that
tho demands in business today and
those Of tomorrow are different be-
cause Of changes IN economic condi
tions The last twenty years has been
a period Of ascending prices. and for
that reason the more venturesome type
Of nlanag gor-the type who is prone to
take a chance-is the one who has made
the nest success The reason for this
IS that commodities. when purchased in
this period. would be bought at one
price level and sold at another and
higher level
In the period of falling prices which
has already begun and which will in
all probability last for fifteen years,
he business and industrial manager
who viii be the most successful Is the
man who s careful in his buying The
reason for this is that goods will have
the tendency to lose value while in the
process of being turned over. and this
will OF course fail on the business rath-
er than on the consumer.
Mr. Swanson pointed out that the
period of the Civil War is almost iden-
teal economically. with the period just
past. and that the era Of falling prices
which lasted for fifteen years then has
already begun now.
From now on. the profit must be
made from the efficiency OF the plant,
and not on speculation. What VIII be

u. s. Holds
Business
Meeting
BY GEORGE II. HOLMES.

HINES BUREAU At STATE CAPITAL
WASHINGTON. June 2a.-One of the
most unusual meetings Washington
ever saw. was held today In the audi
torium Of the interior department
The president OF the United States.
all the members of his cabinet and al,
the little cabinets" composed Of bu-
reau heads and their assistants within
each department got together around
a common table - 70 speak. and held
a clinic on governmental Ills and dis
cussed curative remedies
Not within the memory OF the Oldest
government clerk in Washington
and some Of them go back TO pre-Lin-
coin days-has such a meeting been
held.
1t was like a meeting OF the board
or directors of a business institution.
The presiding genius at the session
was Charles G. Dawes, new head Of
the budget. to whom President Hard
ing has entrusted the gigantic task of
putting a federal budget system into
operation within the remarkably short
space or thirty days. 1t is hoped by so
doing that millions of dollars can be
Topped of the cost Of running the gov
ernmen for the next fiscal year. and
a wholesale reduction effected In the
now staggering amount Of taxes ex-
acted from the public pockets.
