BUSINESS REVIVAL
SHOWS PROSPERITY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Predic-
tions of prosperity to come have been
taking much space in the public press
for the last year. Opinions of many
men supposedly qualified to speak
with authority have been sought and
eagerly published. But here is not
a prediction based on hope or "gen-
eral conditions" but upon statistical
facts. Some New York banks took
the trouble to gather up the facts
and present them as real evidence.
According to these figures, bank
clearings in 165 cities are 1871 per
cent higher than a year ago; indus
trial employment in New York state
II per cent and throughout the coun-
try Is per cent; pig iron production
1T per cent; zinc production "a per
cent; copper production 20 per cent;
automobile SO per cent; sugar melt
ings 70 per cent; electric power pro-
duction 81 per cent; building con-
tracts 81 per cent, etc. These fig
ures are the true index of what has
happened and a firm foundation on
which to build a tremendous prosper
ity for the immediate future.
From these facts the banks draw
the obvious conclusions that real
prosperity is here and but waiting the
settlement l0f upset industrial condi-
tons to be visible. AS an officer OF
one of these organizations puts it:
"When all allowances have beer
made for the clouds now overhead
and for the great seriousness of the
forces of disDrganization as ex
pressed in the strikes, the domestic
economic position presents pleasing
contrasts with that prevailing one
year ago, when American hnsines'
was at the lowest ebb in many years
To measure some of these contrast
is to gain the two-fold conviction
that business recovery has been sub
stantial and that, when strikes ar
settled, the revival will logically con
tinue many months before reaching
the crest of a new prosperous era.

Motor Traffic in Sweden

Stockholm, May 10.-Motor traffic
in Sweden has now become so general
and the consequent deterioration of
highways so great that the Minister
of Finance has submitted bill to
the Riksdag proposing tax on all
motor driven vehicles.
The bill proposes that tax of 10
kroner equivalent to about $2.1O) be
levied on a motorcycle without side
car; 20 kroner on motorcycle with
side car; eight kroner for every 100
kilos (2.20 pounds each) f weight
of ordinary motor cars with rubber
tires; so kroner per 100 kilos for
cars and trucks with non-rubber tires.
The proposed tax on automobiles
will net the state about 100000
kroner (about S1,OOO,OOO) annually,
all of which will be devoted to road
maintenance. Towns and cities will
receive one-fourth of the money thus
collected and the rest will go to the
rural communities.
