circular temples to the god of the wind seen
by the soldiers of Cortez, but not trace
of one Of which was ever afterwards found
on the Mexican mainland.
The Aztec wind god had his shrine atop
circular structure so the musty old chronicles
say and the entrance to his lofty sanctuary
was through a pair of horrible serpents Jaws
whose grotesque fangs we're painted red or
smeared with blood and In whose deep tnroaC
an eternal fire burned.
So terrifying were these temples to the
SpaniardS, who beheld them on their march
of conquest through the Mexico of Montezuma,
that they were the first of all the Aztec Struc-
stures to be battered to the ground. They re-
minded the Conquistadores OF nothing less than
He'll itself and they we're sure that the devil
had been the architect
For this reason the finding OF the remains
of such building is of enormous interest
to Psychologists 1t is part OF q ruined city
near Calixtlahuaca which also has just been
discovered and the round temple Is as yet
only partly excavated.
But as the Indain workmen remove the
hood of earth and vegetation that envelops it,
a structure for all the world like q giant birth
day cake of stone is coming into view. 1t is
q very fancy cake too, five layers deep, each
upper layer smaller than the one it rests upon
and as if the resemblance were not yet SUM-
GENTLY striking, the ancient bakers in stone
had put on an Icing" of plaster which still
sticks in spots along the massive masonry walls.
I FADING to the topmoSt layer of the masonry
l. cake on the east is stairway of stone.
It is too steep for white mans comfort, as is
almost always the case in Mexican pyramids,
but in its heyday it must have lent itself to
very dramatic religious professions to It's sum-
nit Whatever there was waiting at the top,
it must have suddenly come into view only as
the last step was reached
A little probing has revealed that this ancient
broken stairway was really new" for traces
of at least one other older stairs within exist
Aztecs and their kindred never tore q build
ing down when it got too small for COM
munity. They merely heaped 1t over with
rock and earth and put new stone facing on
the outside, plastered it. rebuilt the shrine on
top, and reproduced all other details, so that
the newer structure was but o larger edition
of the older one within.
At one time, too, when the vertical walls
of the lower layer showed signs of weakness,
a sloping batter was added like q buttress. max

issue to come. It has been recently
shown-contrary to what we have
all thought-that labor is receiving
a smaller proportion of the value
it assists in creating than it did
ninety years ago. The corporations
are accommodating too much capital
from profits and unwisely holding
back dividend disbursements. Rich
men and corporations tend to with
draw greater part of their income
from consumptive use than do av-
erage individuals.
A hundred men will put more of
a combined Income of 100000, 900
back into the cycle of industry and
commerce than one man with sim
gular income of that amount. But
even at the present rate of disburse-
ment of profits the corporations are
increasing them, while the payrolls
decline: The balance can be re-
stored by shorter working hours,
higher wages or lower prices for
manufactured products.
Distributing National Income
While I have mentioned work on
the inland waterways as a means
of increasing employment and slim
ulating business it is also import
ant as a means of balancing the
distribution of national income, be-
cause it will offset the disturbing
influence of the Panama canal on
midwest industry and particularly,
agriculture. The cost of transpor-
tation from coast to coast has
greatly decreased since the canal
was built whereas railway rates to
and from the interior have increas-
ed. Agriculture today has about
one-fourth of the people of the
United States and only one-tenth
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1931-01-15
of the income. This is most dam
gerouS lack of balance.


gerous lack of balance.
I have favored high tariffs, be-
cause I desired to help keep COM
modify prices up. But high tariffs
do not help agricultural products
of which we have surplus. Con-
sequently, I believe that Congress
should adopt the proposed export
debenture amendment to the tariff
law. I see no reason why other ma
tions should be offended if we
choose to keep our farmers from
losing money on the products they
export. That will help equalize the
distribution of income.
Our national prosperity has al
ways rested in large measure on
our extensive and varied natural re-
sources. We must hasten to husband
and conserve them if we wish to
insure future prosperity.
Now, do not say that legisla-
ton alone can effect the cures that
we need, but it can contribute. We
need more intellect in business con-
cerned with the long time prob
lens of business success than those
of immediate profits. We need bus
mess statesmen. While legislation is
Indispensable both as a corrective
and as a pattern, it is largely up
to business leaders to correct the
delinquencies of our present COM
Inercial and financial processes if
they wish to preserve them. I hope
that I will give no personal offense
if say that our troubles are large
ly due to intellectual bankruptcy of
the men both in business and gov
eminent whose duty it is to deal
with the fundamental problem of
business.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1931-01-15

1t is nessary, though, to consider
where we are and how we got there
because the present status and past
conditions are intricably bound
up with what may come to pass.
This is no ordinary business de-
preston that is tormenting us. It
should be understood that 1880 is
not comparable to the depressions
of 1924 and 1927. The latter were
merely the throughs of summer
sea, whereas the present trough is
more like the one between the bill
lows of a great storm. In my opin-
ion the present lethargy of business
is similar to the long drawn out

depressions of 1896 and 1879. It
is a question in my mind as to just
when the present period began. We
all know when the stock market
boom collapsed but I question
whether our so called prosperity of
1928-29 was very substantial. You
will remember that in those years
there was good deal Of talk about
profitless prosperity. think that it
was justified. The way I look at it
our prosperity has been more or
less artificial and of the paper
profits variety Of some years. Arti-
fetal prosperity feels about as good
as real prosperity while it lasts, for
