comes to spending $4,000 900 year
for state highways" Strey declared.
He previously had announced he
will demand a legislative investiga-
ton of expenditure of highway
funds and introduce a bill to abolish
the present commission. In its
stead, Strey would have a full-time
commission of at least three COM
missioners.
His battle against Brown and the
present commissioners is said by
them to have grown out of his fall
ure to obtain a state paved road
through Wabash over what is
known as the Hills to Lakes high
way.
The matter first was made public
by Brown giving a letter to the
press in which he challenged the
senator to bring proof of his
tStreys) allegation that Jess l..
Murden (Rep0, Peru, member of
the highway commission, was in
tereSted in firms selling automotive
supplies to the highway department.
Brown has brought this matter
into the press and I'm ready to
keep it before the public" Strey
asserted. I'm here to gather this
proof which Brown requested"
Almost daily the quarrel brings
a new round of letters or kilograms
back and forth between the par
ticipants.

MELLON ANSWERS
! CHARGES BY BYRNS
Expresses Surprise at "Igno-
rance" of Democrat on FL
| nances "Before Elections"

Replying vigorously to criticism of
the Treasury Department by Repre-
sentative Byrns, Democrat, Tennessee,
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has
declared that the charges were due to
complete misunderstanding Of the
situation
Byrns. ranking Democrat on the
House Appropriations Committee,
charged that the administration was
attempting to create a fictitious sur
plus" in the Treasury by withdrawing
from the sinking fund sums legally re-
quired for the reduction of public
debt
Declares Accusation Surprising"
Mellon said the accusation was "rath-
er surprising in so experienced and in
telligent member of the House of
Representatives, who would hardly at
any time other than the month pre-
Ceding elections display such con-
venient ignorance of Treasury financ-
ing"
Explaining the charge apparently
was based on the fact that only $685.
100000 was applied to debt retirement
from the sinking fund during the first
quarter of the present fiscal year, as
compared with $236,846,000 for the
same period last year, Mellon said the
explanation was simple enough"
During the first quarter last year, he
said, Government bonds and Treasury
notes we're selling at a discount and 1t
WIS good business" to retire them at
that time.
Premium Payment Avoided.
During the first three months of
49, L. = 80
:" United States Government bonds and
Treasury notes have sold consistently
at premium. BY applying the sinking
fund appropriation to the retirement of
the Treasury notes which have been
called on March Is next and which
will be retired at par, the Treasury
avoids the payment of a premium Ac-
cordingly, the sinking fund purchases
during the first quarter Of this fiscal
year have been limited to the minimum
amount made advisable by the estab-
hshed program of financing"

NO HARD Times
FOR BIG BIZ
By Scott Nearing, Fed. Press

BY Scott Nearing, Fed. Press
Times are hard in the United
States. For whom? For the mil
lions Of unemployed wage earners
who are walking the streets look
ing for jobs, appealing to the char
ity organization societies, chamber
Of commerce relief committees, and
other bread line organizations.
For the farmers who are trying
to make a living by selling 4Oc
oats and SOC wheat, and whose
crops were cut by the unprecedent-
ed drought which hit large sections
of the country last summer.
For the little business men who
are going down in companies be-
fore the keen cutting tools of 1880
bankruptcies. Ever since 1922 re-
ports of business failures have av-
eraged around 10000 per year. In
til the present year the banner
total was 23.600 failures. In the
first quarter of 1880 there were T.
369 failures: 6.403 in the second
quarter; and 1904 in the third. In
short. during the three quarters of
1880 there have been approximate
ly 10000 commercial failures.
There is every indication that
the total for the year will run well
above $4,000, an unprecedented
figure for the American business
world. The great majority of these
failing firms had capital of less
than $4,000.
Times are hard on the American
masses. How about the few at the
top of the economic heap who are
able to live in luxury without work
upon the labor of their fellows?
The U. S. Department of Com
merce publishes a monthly review.
the Survey of Current Business. In
one department of this review are
reported payments of dividends
and interest made by certain in
dustrial transport and public utili-
ties corporations. The earliest wear
covered by these reports was 1913.
During that year, interest and div
ldend payments averaged $14S.-
100000 a month. The total Tor
year was $1,750,000,00O. For Che
single month of January 1880. in
terest and dividend payments to-
tailed $1,120,O00,OOO. For January
and February, 1880, the total was
81, 63I 100000. In other words. in
terest and dividend payments dur
ing the first two months of 1880
We're practically equivalent to the
total for the entire year 1913.
The year 1928 was a good year.
Interest and dividend payments for
the IL months totaled $3,989, OOO.-
600. The present period of hard
times began at the end of 1929.
During the latter year, hewever.
the total interest and dividend
payments was $5,029, 100000. or A.
bout one-quarter greater than the
payments for 1928. The year 1880
has been a year of uninterrupted
hard times for the American mass
es. During the first eight months
the total of interest and dividend
payments was S5,61S, 900, 900, or

excess of the highest previous year
