through a receivership, for the second
time in its history. A cotton mandatory
surprises its owners with 100 per cent
melon while the largest. in the world is
equally surprising when it ceases opper-
ations for an indefinite period after con-
fronting its stockholders with a serious
deficit The worlds renowned automobile
manufacturer announces his intentions of
10000 car per day production in his var
ious plants during 1924 and the drivers
of his product grow nervous and detected
from their attempts to provide the power
to move them without encroaching on their
requirements for the winters supply of
fuel. The large mail order houses whose
clientele is principally the Western farmer
reports amazing increases in sales over
those of the preceding year, and from the
farmer in the Wheat Belt comes wall
of despair that is beyond all comparison in
anguish and suffering Our forefathers
with loving care and with sublime ideals
bequeathed US liberty and land where
all are free and yet today some anticipate
and others promise a free-for-all for the
land.
But what are the facts and what are the
figures?
One of the best barometers indicating
the movement of goods and general mer-
chandise is the weekly record of Freight
Car Loadings furnished by the American
Railway Association who report greater
volume than at any time in our history,
being we'll above the million mark weekly.
Such heavy traffic moving without SER
ious congestion speaks we'll for the general
efficiency of our railroads and aptly refutes
the unearned and unjust charge of mis-
management so often heard issuing from
the ranks of the "theorist operators" as
they may be generally disposed of.
The gross income from this immense
transportation is happily being reflected
in net operating income worthy of the
effort but does not exceed the five
and three-fourth per cent return on the
property valuation as permitted by the
Transportation Act of 1920. A large
number of our transportation systems are
earning their dividend requirements by
safe margins and those of the weaker sys-
TENS who have not heretofore earned fixed
interest and other regular income charges
will do so this year, a notable exception
however, is in evidence judging by the
reports issuing from the railroad which
short time ago received so much attention
favorable and otherwise after being taken
to the bosom of Henry Ford as part of his
integrated industry, and as his attempt to
"show up the old timers"
Pig iron production, steel manufacture
ing and copper mining and refining cover
ing three of the principal metals of trade,
and upon which so many hundreds of
thousands of our population depend for
support are suffering to great degree
from the over expansion of facilities and
the resultant increase in investment DUR
ing the World War period, and also from
lack of European demand. In fact it has
been said that it would not be worth while
to discover new copper ore property today
as the metal produced therefrom would
not pay the cost of producing it. Ger
The mirror., 1923-12-06

many in the old days imported great guam
titles of our copper and perhaps when the
day comes that the German mark is worth
copper" another and different story
can be told.
"King Coal" seems to be the one of the
few who can overcome certain natural
forces and lift himself by his bootstraps.
Overdeveloped, overmanned, overcapital-
lied, and overrated as it may be, this in
dustry, for the time being at least, seems
to have procured immunity from economic
laws. 1t is equipped to produce 100000
600 tons of coal yearly, yet markets only
600,00O,000, which could be mined by
100000 men less than there is now en-
ployed. The miner works on the aver
age of 100 days per year and as long as
the consumer will pay the bill for his en-
forced idleness he cannot be expected to
seek new fields of endeavor, at trade he
does not know nor with conditions with
which he has not the courage to cope.
An index of wholesale prices of 209i
representative commodities as prepared by
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale University
indicates at the present time an increase
over the prices maintained during the
pre-war'year of 1913 of fifty-fve per cent
compared with the increase of 147 per
cent at the peak of prices in May, 1920.
He also estimates the present purchasing
power of the dollar at $40 cents compared
with 100 cents in 1913 and 40.5 in May,
1920.
The cost of living of the average fam
lily throughout the U. S. as shown by the
latest investigation of the Department of
Labor, exceeds that of 1913 by seventy-two
per cent, food prices being up forty-nine
per cent, rent sixty-four per cent, clothing
seventy-six per cent, and fuel eighty-one
per cent, providing the same standard of
living is maintained as during the pre-
war period, and while rejecting upon
this situation it should not be overlooked
that there were 953 wage increases
against three reductions in the U. S. from
March 18th to September 14th according to
figures complied by the National Indus
trial Conference Board
Whether the continued increase in
wages brings about or keeps up the cost of
living, or, the cost of living necessitates
the increases in wages, is matter we
wont attempt to decide. But the recent
movement in the price of coal following
the increase allowed the anthracite miners
may serve as food for thought What
affect this increase may have on the wage
structure of the bituminous miners next
spring, and then on the general subject of
railway employees wages later on, is con-
jectural but worthy of more than passing
comment.
Our foreign trade is subject of signif-
cant importance in our discussion of &C.
onomic conditions, and it is exceedingly so
when we observe the declining tendency
of our exports as compared with imports
in spite of the high tariff wall our law
makers considered wise in erecting. Al
though the September exports reached the
sum of $3S1,ooo,0oo against imports of
$2ss,00o,0 900, the international balance in
our favor for the year is but $ss,o00,000,

WOLF AT THE DOOR

THIS isn't fable. The wolf that
a figures In It is a wolf you've often
heard Of. He's the widely celebrated
wolf-at-the-door.
Most men work all their lives to be
rid of him. When he is gone they stop
working-and, too often. back he
comes. Only few get rid of him for
ever. AND the sense of security that
takes his place is considerably more
dangerous than the wolf could possibly
be.
Most Of us need the wolf in our
business. When, OF morning, we
glance out of the window and see him
sitting hungrily on the doorstep we
take more interest in our days work.
When we are on the job the thought Of
him keeps us hustling. And by keep
ing hustiing we put our brain in con-
dition. which helps lot with the
next days work.
The wolfless man is a worryless
man, and worryless man isn't much
use In the world.
The man who knows he can't be
fired helps very little around an office
or shop. Necessity did not limit her
family to the one child-invention
She is the mother of effort, of achieve
ment, Of energy, of industry-a very
goodly brood of children.
If Thomas A. Edison had made a
competence before he was thirty 1t is
possible that he would have kept on
working, but we doubt 1t.

Of the wolf are still doing important
work. but they got the habit of work

The witchery Of tender springs,
The autumn leaves, the tears,
The gray mists blurring out the view,
The somber scenes across the way.
The unsaid things we sensed and knew

Can you forget the mystic thread
We wove on fancy's magic loom
Into those days that now are dead
Dead as that first springs bloom7
We watched the gray doves come and

Tapped with a ghost-touch soft and

Against the pane.
The hours wene commonplace. we said.
And wished for scenes some other

We saw the sunsets. gold and red,
Watched snow-clouds fill the air;
Heard song birds In the trees above.

We were not satisfied with love
