WARMING IS
SOUNDED
Price Initiation to Result
From Stimulation, Writ
er Admonishes.
BY B. c. FORBES

Is there not danger OF stimulating
too much optimism?
After a brief trip TO industrial CEN
tiers in the Middle West, and after
reading the many new year forecasts
already appearing, ! am inclined to
think that the loud pedal is being
unwisely overworked.
If exuberance continues TO be ex-
pressed all around, il ultra-optimistic
statements be accepted at their
full face value, what may some of
the consequences be!
For example, visits TO various au-
tomobile plants during the last few
days ELECTED the information that
this, that and the next company is
actively planning increased production
for the spring season: Programs
now being prepared call for distinctly
greater output than year ago, not
withstanding that the fall buying this
year has been encouraged and coaxed
by the putting out of new models and
by price-cutting. Instead Of reason
ing that the stimulated fall is likely
to lead to somewhat lessened demand
in the spring. many manufacturers
are assuming that this increased buy
ing presages still better buying few
months hence.
This rosy view may prove over op-
timistic.

Again, constant proclaiming that
delightfully."- prosperous times are as
sured will tend to foster forward buy
ing of various classes of merchandise
and this, in turn. is calculated to ex-
cite price initiation.
Price initiation Is one OF the two
things most certain TO kill prosperity.
Have business and financial lead
ers who are exaggerating actual con-
ditions and loudly predicting still
greater activity, prosperity ana
profits-have these gentlemen stopped
to think what effect such outgivings
are likely to have upon labor leaders
and wage earners?
Could workers be blamed if all the
glittering sunshine now being spread
were TO cause them to reason that, II
everything in the garden is so very
lovely. it is time for them TO gel, a
larger share of the fruits of all this
prosperity? ,,u .,d
Unwarranted wage demands ana
strikes constitute the other thing
which would inevitably bring on unset
Element, dislocation and perhaps dis
aster.

As I analyze actualities and read
the nations prospects, there is every
reason for taking nationally hope
full. even confident view OF coming
months. A continuance of reasonably
good business would seem TO be as
sured for at least some months 10
come. If conditions continue as salts
factory as they have been and are now,
this country will have little reason
to complain.
But. in my judgment, it is a mis-
take to arouse intoxicating hopes, a
mistake to indulge in superlatively
rosy pred ctions, a mistake to create
the impression that nothing con stop
this country from going ahead at fuI
speed. As matter of sober truth,
either one Of the two things here EN-
phasized could, if INDUCED in, play
havoc with Americas prosperity dur
ing the second half Of the coming
year. p
One development of last week ut
tracted little notice, yet it may pos
sess great significance. The average
quotation for bonds listed on the New
York exchange reached new peak for
the year, Notwithstanding that cal.
money rates have been stiffening and
notwithstanding that stocks showed no
pronounced bouyancy.
Does this not suggest that conserva,
tive investors, men and institutions o.
wealth. have been diverting Il larger
part of their investment funds from
stocks to bonds? Does it not suggest
that in many influential quarters
bonds are coming TO be regarded as
safer and more desirable than stocks.
1t is worth noting that loans on stocks
By New York banks have not been in
creasing at the rate Of such loans BY
banks throughout the country. Doesn't
this look as if those at the top of the
financial world now have modified
views concerning the continuance OF
the bull market ir stocks?
On the other hand, the fact is that
the average quotations for stocks were
u trifle higher at the end OF the week
than they were at the end of the previ.
Gus week.
Christmas retail trade is fulfilling
all hopes. Wherever one travels one is
impressed by the absence of signs Of
hard times and by the improvement in
the living conditions of ordinary folk.
Will the results not be better in the
long run if all of us keep ploddins
along industriously, confidently, cheer
fully, but without succumbing to tEt
temptation either to paint or TO chas,
raipbows?

Bonding
Suit u. S. Court

The case of the Parco Development
company versus the Massachusetts
Bonding and Insurance company and
the c. S. Lambie company, the latter
of Denver, in which the Parco COM
pany asks $4,000 and court costs
of the bonding company for alleged
default by the Lambie company on
a contract calling for the erection of
a hotel and several store buildings,
has been transferred to the United
States District court from the Lara
ME county District court upon Pc
tition by the defendants.
The petition filed by the plaintiff
states that a contract for the erection
of a hotel and several smaller build
ings vas entered into between the
plaintiff and the Lambie company
last June, and bonded by the Massa-
chusetts Bonding and Insurance
company for $4,000; that erection
of the hotel was begun, but that work
discontinued on August 20, last,
with the building unfinished for the
reason that the Lambie company was
unable to buy more materials for the
work. Demand has been made upon
the bonding company for payment
under the default provisos of the
bond, the petition sets forth, but pay
ment has been refused-hence the
suit.-Cheyenne Tribune.
