RIPE

The wrecking crews, sent out by
economists to investigate the business
smash that began in 1920, make this
comment: A great business boom
occurs roughly, every 80 years.
These periods Of high prices and
prosperity coincide with big wars.
Big prosperity booms eliminated
in the World War, the Civil War and
the Napoleonic Wars.
Is war the cause of prosperity or
prosperity the cause of war? Prob
ably the latter, though it's like the
problem: Which came first, the egg
or the chicken?

WHY HARD TIMES2

WHY HASD l INES!
YKfHAT started this business depres
" sion? Long-haired esconomist:
advance different theories.
One theory is that prices and pros
perty and hard times travel in cycles
like the teeth of saw, roughly q
years up, 80 years down. This the
DRY is advanced by economists who
have noted that panics come period
cally.,
Another theory is that people, dur
ing periods, of prosperity, go on a
spending jag. Then the thrift in
stinct, which makes squirrels hoard
nuts for winter, asserts itself. Peo-
pie stop buying, production falls off,
men are thrown out of work
Psychologists step in at this point
and talk about "social hysteria' TT
the emotional waves that periodically
sweep nation or the world and start
wars, religious revivals, dancing cpl
denies and reform movements like
prohibition.
Supporting this theory; The pres
ent world depression first showed it,
self, family, in India, early in 1920.
It broke out violently in the Japar
nese silk market in March, 1920, tray
eled round the world, reached us two
months later.
None of these theories gets to the
bottom of the matter.
The first symptom of business de-
preston in America was the "over-
all parade" 1t was a red-flag warn
ing that people were about to stop
Buying.
Why did they stop? High prices
We're only partly to blame. People,
flush with money, will pay any price,
as long as they get real value.
The overall parades started when
people discovered that, in most eases,
they couldn't get certain articles Of
clothing of good quality at any price
You recall those days. 1t seem
ed that nearly everything went to
pieces almost as soon as it was put
TO. use.
NPeople rebelled at inferior quality
Prices were secondary
When all is said and done, the
causes of hard times are spiritual
Every action has an equal anc
counteracting reaction. There are
eare exceptions, proving the rule, bu
z the great underlying law of 'econom
les is what Emerson called the Law
OF compensation-w get out of iift
no more than we give
Honest value and hard work pro
duce prosperity. After while, pros
perity makes many people reckless
greedy and dishonest. The reaction
from this is hard times, sent by +;
wise providence TO cleanse our eco
nomic morals.
You've noticed that you're geg
ting hotter quality now. That means
we're ON the road back to good times
There'd never be a panic if every
ore always gave honest value,

need an excess prophet tax.

SUGGESTION TO PRINT
MORE PAPER MONEY

Thomas A. Edison was characterized
as good electrician, but a very poor
financier,' in an address by Thomas
B. McAdams, president of the Ameri-
can Bankers association, before the
convention of Oklahoma bankers asso-
Citations here yesterday.
Mr. McAdams referred to state
ment which he said Mr.. Edison had
made to the effect that the United
States should print vast amouns of
paper money The speaker declared
the idea was unsound financially and
would lead to conditions here such
as exist in Russia and Germany, which
are flooded with worthless paper
money
Mr. McAdams said most of our
troubles are behind us and normal
times are near.
Not abnormally prosperous times,
he said, "but times when the average
man can earn an average salary, buy
his average wants and save little
money"
The speaker declared that for the
first time since the war, the railroads
have been making money recently. He
declared that in the first three months
of this year the railroads bought
three times as many freight cars, and
four times as many passenger coaches
and one and one-half times as many
locomotives as during the whole OF
1921.

IRISH PROVINCIAL
GOVERNMENT HEADS
WILL MEET BRITISH
(By Associated Press)


LONDON, May 24.-Representatives
of the Irish provincial government are
coming to London Thursday night for
a conference with representatives of
the British cabinet, concerning the
agreement reached last Saturday be-
tween the two Irish political factions.
This announcement was made this
afternoon in the House of Commons by
Austin Chamberlain, the government
leader.
The latest developments in Ireland
are regarded here as having added to
the seriousness of the situation and
considerable anxiety is manifest as to
the outcome. The pact between
Michael Collins and canon DeValera
which was viewed with deep distrust
by many from the outset owing to the
latters avowed uneompromising hos
tility to the Anglo-Irish treaty and the
proposed constitution is now regarded
with increased suspicion in conse,
quence of Collins address before the
Ard Fheis. (In his address Collins
said: "If as has been said this agree,
ment imperils the Anglo-Ireland trea
ty, we will have to face that in this
manner. We have an agreement
which will bring stable conditions to
the country, and if these stable con
ditions are not more valuable than any
other agreement then we must face
what these stable conditions will en-
able US to face.")

prevent disease DIR. A. j. Warren Of
Topeka, Kan. said that the applica-

greatly increased life expectancy in
urban districts during the last 10

DR.. Warren added that in the same

the belief that equal expenditures and

would result in a marked lessening of

Dr., Nicoll said, without taking into
account the technical training required

officers should hold their positions sub

Mr. Hapgood made the foregoing
statement in enunciating principles
'for which the church may stand"
The other principles which he set
forth were as follows: Industry
should be for the greatest benefit of
all members of society and the fndivid-

of the greatest possible number of
workers in it. An industry which
serves the few at the expense of the
many is detriment to society"
