In such event the appointment of a
new commandant of the corps will
be In order, and three officers of the
corps with outstanding records, respec-
lively, win be considered. The paymas-
Richards, although staff officer, never
theless has a brilliant line record and
has accomplished much for the corps
from the hands Of Congress, before
whose committees, respectively, he has
appeared time and again, waging sue
ceSSful uphill fights for the corps
maintenance.
Cabinet influence, however, is back

Trade Trends

BY the Associated Press.
Dried friits-A sharp change In the
weather is awaited by jobbers to give
new life to the dried fruit market. At
present the movement Is still a re-
placement affair, jobbers say, but add
that they are getting their share OF
the business which, while small, keeps
them fairly active. Fruits are moving
in a limited way from the coast, as
the tobbing trade Is reluctant to stock
up owing to the character OF the
market. They said there is little pros
pect that consumption will pick up ap-
preciablv while near-Summer tempera-
lures prevail.
Electric power-A decline in indus
trial use of electricity in the first eight
months this year, partially offset by
a rise in domestic and small commercial
use. resulted in a drop OF per cent
in output for the industry as whole,
compared with the first eight months
of 1880, says the National Electric
Light Association. On the pasS OF
weekly output figures from about 20
yer cent of the industry, the aSSocia-
tIon estimates that total sales Of cleo
tricity during August for the entire in
dugtry were down about per cent
from the same period last year.
on Compared with the
second quarter, which was one OF. the
worst periods in the history OF the in
dustry, reports indicate that earnings
of oil companies in the third quarter
should be somewhat improved. The
necessity for any further reduction in
inventory valuation by those companies
which had written down their oil stocks
to prices prevailing at the end Of the
half wear has been eliminated. The
California situation appears to be the
bright spot in the industry. reports here
indicate, due to the fact that prices
there have been placed on fairly
stabilized basis since the end Of the
first half Of the year.
Pig iron-Citing 1t as an indication
that the iron market Is on the road to
recovery, some observers say that the
pig iron industry's current production
probably Is under the volume Of con-
sumption. Only five furnaces are in
blast at Buffalo and at least two Of
these are steel makers furnaces; in
the Eastern Pennsylvania district only
the Bethlehem furnaces are blowing;
one furnace Is In blast in Eastern New
York and those at Boston are not oper-
ating.
Eilk-The entire silk market gave an
impression of extreme steadiness today
in the face of adverse reports from
Japan, where prices in all positions
declined substantially Eighty per cent
seriplane silk price In Japan declined
20 yen.
Steele Operations of the Youngstown

pected to be slightly below this week.
Present estimates are that operations
viii be at 80 per cent Of capacity, COM
pared with IL this week.
Tin-Prices Of tin reached q new
low for the current decline this week,
selling OF more than cents q pound
under the September high, to break
through the ascent level. This quota
ton was largely nominal, as consumers
remain on the sidelineS awaiting de-
velopmentS. The decline was attrib-
uted to influences outside the tin in
dustry rather than to any immediate
happenings in the trade itself.

e3o.34 seven years ago, in spite Of the
admittedly most pronounced progress
made by the company within the past
few years.
The shares Of the Harpen Mining
stand at $7.32, against s113.65 in 1924:
while those of Phoenix Iron & Steel
are selling at $4.72, as compared with
$4S7o seven years ago. Incidentally,
the earnings Of Phoenix from $780,
1881 were equivalent to more than 81
per cent Of the present market value
Of the entire capital stock. The shares
Of Mannesmann Tube are selling at
$791, against 1888 in 1924.
Many financial men are quite conf
dent that history will repeat itself and
that those who are willing to speculate
on q rehabilitation of the world, will
triumph in the end. It is merely nee
esSary to give the signal. Seven years
ago, it was the League Of Nations,

factory. It is important to note that
while securities of all kinds and grades
have been falling rapidly for the past
three months, there has been less de-
cline in commodities since June than
in any similar period since their abrupt
fall began two years ago. The equi-
librium, however, is not pronounced
enough to attract buyers, who are just
now more affected by the daily shrink
ages in securities than by any other
factor. This also plays the most i'm
portant part In keeping the individual
owning stocks or bonds from making
purchases, except those that are dis
tinctly of the bargain or imperative
type.

in any full month of the past year.
In the industrials it has amounted to
"a points, or II per cent; in rails to
IA points. or 81 per cent, and In public
utilities to II points, or about 20 per
cent Extending the comparison to the
prices of this date in 1929, we have
average declines in the three groups Of
stocks of 266, 135 and SO points, re-
spoctively, or 20 per cent shrinkage
in each case.
If, after a depreciation of this ex-

common stocks are not in range to
justify holding or buying them. it must
be because our entire financial and
business structure is heading for ruin.
And no one with sound MINI today

this kind Of poppy-cock, which one
hears too often in Wall Street, where
better sense should prevail.

SLUMP TEACHES
ECONOMY, SAYS
RAIL EXECUTIVE
Industry Drawing Valuable
Lesson From Adversely,
ChiCagoan'S View.

The good that blows in any i'll
wind has been found in the bust
ness depression by G. o. Young Of
Chicago, assistant superintendent of
the car department Of the Illinois
Central system, he said in an adj
dress here Monday night
He spoke before the indianapolis
Interchange Car Inspection Associ-
alton at the SEVERN, on Benefits
Derived From the Business Depres-
sion"
Through the depression, he said,
today's industrialists have learned
how to save, give more economical
and efficient operation, and serve
their customers better.
That science, aviation, and bust
ness were benefited by the World
war is unquestionable," he said.
What price benefit? I would by
Az A44CoA4o ~ 30 ld1 dS 10 Say Tie
benefits were of sufficient magni-
tude to justify our losses.
Nor, in the case of the business
depression will I attempt to show
you where the railroads have bene-
flied in a degree sufficient to off,
set the millions of dollars lost.
ON the other hand there are GER
tain short cuts and tricks of the
trade developed in times of adj
verSity that never would come to
light in the easy-going times of
prosperity.
I'VE have learned that dollar
saved in labor is worth Just as much
as a dollar saved in materials.
If progress consists of the prac-
teal application of economical
methods, then we will, in the long
run, benefit by the business de-
preston" he said.

TAX REFORM is
Up TO LESLIE,
SAYS SENATOR
Governor Should Lead, Is
View of Winfield Miller,
Income Tax Advocate.

Leadership in the matter of draft
Ing tax reform legislation should
come from Governor Harry G. Les
lie in the opinion of Senator Win
field Miller (Rep., Marion), one OF
the leaders of the Indianapolis
group in the upper house.
Miller expressed this view when
he visited the statehouse Monday
voicing a plea for a special session
to solve the vexing taxation prob
lens.
"Of course the chief executive is
the one to whom legislators and the
people generally look for guidance
in such trying times" Senator Mil
Ter asserted.
"A program which the majority
OF both the Republican senate and
the Democratic house would support
should not be so hard to draft. Il
believe could do it myself.
FavOrs Income, Sales Taxes
The problem is to lift the tax
burden from real estate, which no
longer can bear it, So the thing to
do is to have an income tax and
sales taxes of a limited sort.
After all, both houses did pass
an income tax bill at the regular
session this yea:, but the Speaker
OF the house wrote all over it and
made it void.
AS to the criticism that we were
here in session siXty-one days and
failed to solve the tax problem, l
say that is nonsense.
"A special session devoted entirely
TO taxation would work the matter
out in short order.
AT the regular session we were
confronted with 300 bills and had
little time to give due study to so
weighty problem as taxes.
House Is Antagonistic
out of that great welter of bills,
nearly 200 were passed, so you can
understand what a tremendous task
we faced"
Senator Alonzo H. Lindley. Re-
publican farm bloc leader from
Klngman, also has charged Leslie
with lack of leadership in solving
the tax problem.
But friends of the Governor point
out the peculiar position in which
he is placed, with the Democrats
holding the house, where all revenue
bills must originate.
State chairman of both parties
are holding a referendum on the
question of special session among
organization leaders.
