Where Are the Profits?

Students of the MediIl Schoo' of
Journalism of Northwestern Univer-

a lecture by Richard II. Waldo, pub
Usher OF a well known magazine. Mr..
Waldo was one OF the editors of 1.-THE

Mr.. Waldo in the course of n lecture
charged that $500. 900 francs of
profit which the soldiers newspaper
made during the war have disappeared
and he insists there should be an in
vestigation as to what has become of
them.

edited the paper is able to get any

$500. 900 francs were good honest 20
e francs. for when we turned in
the papers profits the rate of ex-
change was normal. We made SO
much money because we had no pay
roll and no free list except the wound

the money might be the basis of a
great educational fund for war or

How Rich Are WEI

Let us see how rich we are and how
much more we have today than we
used TO have. The figures are com.
pelling. In the period 1920 our
o national income. according 10
the best authorities. was from s33. 900.
900, 900 to $s4. 900. 600. 90. - cost us
AROUND s27 600 ,oOo. 900 to live and we
saved about $1,000. 600. 900. We built
new houses and we had n great many
things at comparatively low cost. We
spent only 10 per sent of gross
income for being governed.
In 1919 the national income rose to
sec, 000. 900, 90. but It was solely n
bookkeeping income, for the 1919 pro-
duction in tons was a little less than
that Of 1913-which was not a big
year. 1t cost us S51 .o00. O00. 900 to live
and abClt 81 500, 900 for government
and luxuries, or is per cent of cur
gross income. We saved very little
and one of the quickest effects of this
lack of saving showed in a universal
shortage of houses.
We have been going on at about
the same rate yer since. excepting
that our national income. with the ad.
justment Of prices. is steadily decreas-
ing IN Terms of dollars. There is not
much reason to believe that the ma
tional income for this year will ex-
coed $40. 600. 000, 0o0-for everything
excepting the cost of government has
been materially marked down. OF
course that mean fewer dollars to
count. With a gross income of only
$40, 900, 900 900. can we afford to pay
7 1000, 900 900 for government and at
the same time maintain a decent
standard of ~living-that is. pay de-
cent wages-or have anything over
to invest in the country so that it may
be more productive? 1t simply can
not be done.-Irving t. Bush.

Overdeveloped

The over development of h soft
Goa industry is set forth in the cur
rent number OF the Monthly Labor
Review issued by the United States de-
partment of labor. A comprehensive
report covering the entire industry
shows that the average number of
days of operation of the soft coal mines
for the past 80 years has been only PA
due largely to the operation of many
more mines than are necessary to pro-
duce the amount of coal required. 1t
is estimated that the total annual out.
put of soft coal in the state of Illinois
could be produced by 81 per cent OF
the MINERS, providing mines were
worked 3o4 days a year. This situ-
alton in h coal industry is response
BILE for the demand of miners for
higher wages; in other words, miners
who work only 200 days a year must
have a much higher per diem wage
than those who work 312 days a year.
This wage divided into the output for
200 days naturally Increases the cost
per ton of mining coal. Another item
of expense greatly increased by this
surplus of mines is the overhead. If
coal were mined continually 800 days
a year it would require the operation
of only IS per cent of mines all of
which are now run part time. This
would completely eliminate two-thirds
of the overhead in the mining In

The news announced last week that

the contract for the building of the
state highway through the canyon
south of Thermopolis is of great i'm
portance to the commercial suprem-
acy of the Big Horn Basin. Having
but the m railroad as an outlet for
our products the time will come very
shortly when additional ~transporta-
ton will be an absolute necessity.
Eliminating grades on our main high
way will stimulate truck t~ransporta-
ton and it is not improbable that in
the next 10 years business on our main
line north and south will necessitate
making 1t a paved highway. The work
of the state highway will make it very

GOOD POINTS IN COTTON'S STATISTICAL POSITION

British textile journals fear shortage of cotton of good spinning quality and go so far as to express apprehension of famine next year unless "prices advance sufficiently to induce farmers to plant larger acreage"
 From the standpoint of consumption, the figures for this season are 2,484,905 bales, compared with 1,97o,s56 bales during the same period the year before. The increase is 514,- 049 bales, which is at the rate of more than 100000 per annum. There have been five months of this increase and 1t has been steady. December's consumption was 611, 800 bales, compared with 295,292 in December, 1920.
 / The export side also gives good account of itself. The exports for the five months of the season have been S,18o,00o bales, compared with 2,430,000 bales in the same period of 1920.
 Actual consumption in this country and talk ings by other countries are practical barom- eter for the guidance of the planter. Reckless increase of acreage and bumper crop would offset the advantages of the statistical posi- tion. There is the place where the planter must do his best thinking.

-61HE first school of Journalism in America
 was founded by General Robert E. Lee.
 It was immediately after the Civil war when he was president of Washington and Lee college at Lexington, Va.
 This college, which was founded by General ngton and Lee university, is recognized as one of the greatest educational institutions of the world.
 On account of the lack of funds-for it is an endowed institution-when General Lee died, the school of journalism was discontinued.
 Dr. Henry Louis Smith, the present presi- dent of Washington and Lee, is ambitious to establish another school of journalism and carry to a successful conclusion the splendid ideas inaugurated by General Robert E. Lee. He has therefore asked the newspapers of the south to aid in raising fund sufficient to re-estabish this school and make it the greatest school of journalism in the world.
 When one thinks that every city and every town in America today has one or more news papers upon which the public depends for its news Sand upon which the public relies for proper advertising propaganda for the develop ment of every section of America, a school for the education and training of newspaper men is necessity.
 It Is as much necessity as a school of engi- neering, or a medical college, or 8 dental institution or business college, or any other sort of institution conducted to properly edu- cate young men who have desires and purposes lin life
 In the south, particularly, today every man of any education whatsoever thinks he knows how to run" newspaper. That is the very reason why so many southern newspapers have been financial failures.
 Men attempt to go into the newspaper busi- ness without any of the principles and pur- poses which should govern well conducted and successful newspaper. Other men with sin ister purposes buy newspapers for the sole pur- pose of furthering their own interests in some- thing. Politicians have been known to estab- fish newspapers to put themselves in office.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
FAvoRs PARK SITE

"That Birmingham needs auditorium is very apparent" said Reid Lawson, land while there seems to be some objections to the site selected and purchased by the city, splendid suggestion was made at the meeting of the inter-clubs council the other day. Some one stated that the park Sixteenth street would be an ideal location for Birmingham's audi torium, and I heartily agree with them, for there is block square there and would be sufficient room and at the same time not be as noisy as the site selected.
 "On the other hand, there is no fire depart ment near it and there would be plenty of parking space as well as room for expansion. realize that the city of Birmingham has very few parks, comparatively speaking, and it would probably hate to convert this park into site for an auditorium, but park and playground property can be purchased more easily than site for an auditorium.
 1t seems to that the suggestion is good one, and should be considered by the city com mission."
