low, and when normal buying is
resumed a recovery ensues. If the
recovery movement catches the
public with low stocks, there IS
danger that the rise may go be-
yond the level at which it can be
sustained, and thus prices may
oscillate until the spasmodic move
ments gradually lose their force
and greater stability is attained.
There is no reason to be alarmed
over a movement of recovery from
the low prices of 1921, for such a
movement was bound to come.
Wool, cotton, rubber, the metals
and coal and other raw materials
having advanced, the prices of fin
ished goods necessarily have followed.
Such readjustments do not of
themselves signify imitation. On
the other hand, every upward
movement is in danger of running
away, and all parties concerned
should endeavor to avert this dan
ger. The talk of restoring wages
in the textile industry to the high
level of 1920 is a menace. The
country cannot stand a general
rise of industrial costs. 1t needs
further reductions to assure sta
bility and the wage earners them
selves are more interested in sta
bility than in higher wage rates
which will check consumption.

The Business Recovery

The business recovery since a
year ago has been remarkable, and
it has been greatly helped by the
improved condition of agriculture,
but a rise of commodities the
farmer must buy will tend to re-
store the unbalanced condition of
a year ago. -''~-.
, The final figures of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture show that the
value of farm products in 1922 ag-
gregated $2000,000,000 more than
in 1921, and the crops were made
at no greater cost. 4Fs'ss-'~..s'slsy- ..-'
The revival of construction
work in private dwellings, public
buildings, office buildings, high
ways, and railroad equipment has
been a leading influence in the re-
vival of business during the past
year, and the fact that this work
is reasonably certain to go on
throughout 1923 is the most sub
stantial assurance that general
business will continue active
throughout the year. Building
permits issued in January exceed
ed in amount of contemplated ex-
penditures in any January on rec
ord, and the amount of railway
equipment under order on Feb

HOW FARMERS
BECAME BANKERS.

According to Farm Life it is re-
ported from st. Paul that the farm
ers of that Federal Land Bank dis
trict have now acquired all the
capital stock Of the band, having
repaid the United States treasury
the cash advanced to start the in
stitution working. The bank has
a paid-up capital and surplus of
nearly five million dollars, and
about eighty million dollars loan
ed on mortgages. In the course of
time farmers will own all the fed
eral land banks. The borrowers
will then be paying interest to
themselves and will participate in
the profits. This is the effect of
the purchase of stock in the bank
to the amount of five per cent of
the money borrowed by each indi-
vidual farmer. In a similar man
ner, if the farmers manage their
cooperative concerns well, they
will soon accumulate plenty of
capital to run the business and
will not have to pay interest ex-
cept ito themselves.

SCANDALS IN AND
BEFORE THE SENATE.

The Republican senate of the
SiXty-seventh congress- which ex-
pred March 4, had to deal with
more scandals and unfit appoint
ments than any other that can be
recalled offhand
The unfit appointments confirm
ed included Harry NJ. Daugherty
for attorney general; Albert B.
Fall for secretary of the interior;
Albert D .Lasker for chairman of
the shipping Board; George Har-
vey for ambassador to Great
Britain; E. Mont Kelley to be gov
ernor of Porto Rico and Roy Da-
Wis to be minister to Costa Rico,
together with some smaller fry Of
district attorney, postmasters and
others from the henchmen of Tru-
man H. Newbery.
Among the bad appointments
not confirmed, some of which
were withdrawn, were Nat Gold
stein, for collector of internal
revenue at St. Louis; Henry Lin
coin Johnson for register of deeds
of the District of Columbia; Geo.
w. Upton for member of federal
trade commission, and James w.
Tolbert for .. S. marshal for the
western district of South Carolina.
In addition, the senate had as
member for the greater part of
the session Truman H. Newberry,
of Michigan, retained by the votes
of his Republican colleagues. The
records Of this senate also contain
the expose of the naval oil scan
DIAL A senate committee smother
ed to death a resolution to investi-
gate the bureau of engraving and
printing scandal, involving the ar
arbitrary dismissal of twenty-eight
officials of the bureau by execu-
tive order, in circumstances which

and for which no adequate repara-
ton has been made.
The memory Of the Republican
senate of the Sixty-seventh con-
gress will always serve to recall
the burning words of former SEN

Federal Reserve Interest Rates

The Federal Reserve banks of
Boston and New York have adj
vanced their discount rates from
a TO AZ per cent, which is the rate
now prevailing at all the reserve
banks, except the one at San
Francisco, which is still at per
cent. While there is nothing in
the present situation which calls
urgently for action to check inha-
ton, but the volume of business is
increasing and prices are gener-
ally advancing, both forecasting an
increased demand for credit. The
best financial judgment of the
country is in favor of keeping tthe
demands on the reserve bankssun-
der control and preventing an
other runaway situation, such as
occurred in 1919 and 1920. The,
way to keep reserve bank re-
sources in reserve is to discourage
their use when expansion is under
way. The country should expect
to conhne itself normally to the
amount of credit which the local
banks are able to supply, using the
reserve banks to give the degree
of elasticity which the seasonsaf,
fluctuations require. No member /,
bank should be a permanent Dor
rover of its reserve bank. There
IS no reason to doubt that on this
basis the industries can have all
the banking accommodations nee
essary to enable them to operate
at capacity,

Current Business Conditions

NHERE has been no slackening
4 of industry or trade as the
Winter has passed, but rather in
creasing strength and confidence.
Railroad traffic has been the heayi-
est ever experienced for the sea-
son. Unemployment practically
disappeared from the principal in
dustries and in its place labor
shortage is reported. In MANY
lines the activity is greater than
at any time since 1920, and in nu-
merous cases close to capacity.
This IS true of the textiles, iron
and steel and automobiles. The num-
Der OF cotton spindles in use in
January for the first time passed
J5,G0000 and the consumption of
cotton totaled 6l0,375 bales, which
has been exceeded only in March.
$40 and May, 1917.
Steel production is at IS to 90
per cent of capacity and it must
be remembered that capacity is far
above what it was 10 years ago.
Copper, lead and zinc are in strong
demand, and prices have advanced
decidedly.
In farm products prices have not
changed much in the past month,
but cotton is around 80 cents per
pound. The average will be
largely increased this season, but
the boil weevil is expected to
cause short yield.
The sugar market is excited over
reports that the Cuban crop will
not come up to past estimates, and
the fact that consumption in the
United States has shown a great
increase in the past year Pro-
hibition is credited with causing
the increase, through the greater
use of soft drinks.

stimulated the talk about imitation,
and aroused apprehension that
the business revival may be short

be caught with high-priced goods

1t is true that conditions are yet

as occurred during the war and
continued in 1919 and 1920, fol-

and continuing in 1921, it is newt
