ways except the last. He says
they are too slow-that they don't
give enough stimulus" He wants
Reserve Bank credit initiation.
This attitude illustrates one of
our great weaknesses. We are in
too much Of a hurry, and try to
get up out of bed before we are
well. So we plunge into Farm
Board follies, price maintenance
schemes and other harmful
stimuli.
Business Not Dying
You can save a man from dying
by giving him a stimulant at the
right time. But you can't restore
his health that way. The source
Of his disease must be removed,
and his system be built up.
So it is with business. We are
not dying. The business heart is
not about to stop beating. There
fore I do not think we need any
more credit Shots"
What we need, and are going to
get, is further liquidation Of over
valued real estate and securities,
further reductions in excessive
stocks Of commodities, and fur
ther economies in production,
Also we can help to build up the
condition of our chief foreign
customers.
Such things are the sound
medicine. All we need is some
further readjuStment.

BUSINESS GOOD
IN HAWAII

One of the brightest spots on
today's business map is the Ha-
waiian Islands, asserts I. w. He'll
man, vice president, Wells Fargo
Bank and Union Trust Company,
San Francisco, recently retul ned
from a months trip there. He
said:
TN the midst of worldwide
depression the islands are en-
jOying a fair measure of pros
perity, and there is virtually no
unemployment, principally be-
cause the two principal indus
tries of the iSlands-sugar and
pineapple-are going full blast"
Many sugar companies are
showing profitable operations, in
spite of the lowest price levels
in many years, he said. This,
he explained, is because Of the
substantial reductions in opera
ting costs and overhead made
during the last few years.
Bank deposits, particularly saw
ings, show marked increases over
recent years. Real estate bust
ness and building are SLACK, FL
though there is fair activity IN
public works. Tourist trade is
somewhat below the peak levels
of the last few years. Power
rates are favorable to industrial
expansion, being as low as even
in the largest cities in the United
States.
Labor problems in the Ha-
waiian Islands are practically
non-existent, because of the prac-
tice of importing the bulk Of
labor from the Philippine Islands
under three-year contracts, as
needed

tion committee of the American
Automobile Association.
The study disclosed that the
26,523,779 motor vehicles in the
United States had an approx
mate valuation of $5,460,716,62O
on which were levied $1,000, ,388,
270 in registration fees, personal
property and gasoline taxes.
Method OF Valuation
Sidney D. Waldon, chairman
today commented:
"Our valuation figure for all
vehicles registered in 1880 is
based on charts compiled from
appraisal and sale figures for
used cars throughout the
United States. These charts
carried over a period of years
show that the average value of
the average vehicle through ITS
average life of approximately
seven years is 25.48 per cent
Of the purchase price.
According to the figures of
the automobile industry the
motor vehicles produced in the
United States and Canada in
1880 had an average wholesale
value of $6O6 each. This repre-
sented approximately IS per
cent Of the retail price, from
which it will be seen that the
average retail price per vehicle
was S8OS.
"The average value of a We
hicle purchased for SSOS
through its average life would
be 25.4S per cent of its pur.
chase price or $2O5.S8. BY null
tiplying the 1890 registration,
namely, 26,525,779 by S2O5.SS,
It will be seen that the value
of all motor vehicles as of that
year was S5,46O,715,62O."
Division of Taxes
''The tax bill Of $1,000, S8,27O
was made up Of $355,7O4,S6O in
registration fees, $4S4, ,683,41O in
gas taxes and $15O,OOO,OOO in
personal property taxes"
A tax of nearly 20 per cent
per annum on any form of prop
erty, Mr.. Waldon says, is almost
prohibitive. He urges adoption
of the tax principles approved 1T
the recent annual convention OF
the American Automobile ASso
citation as a long step toward the
prevention of further pyramiding
of motor taxes and the safeguard
ing Of motor revenues for present
and future road needs in rural
and urban areas. ...

LOVE" IS TOPIC
Of CHRISTIAN
SCIENTISTS
"What God Cannot Do, Man
Need Not Attempt" Lesson.
Quotes Mary Baker Eddy

Love" is the subject Of the
lesson-sermon in all the Churches
of Christ. Scientist, tomorrow.
The Golden Text is from zeph-
aniah 3:17: The Lord thy God
in the midst Of thee is mighty;
he will save, he will rejoice over
thee with joy: he will rest in his
love, he will Joy over thee with
singing"
Among the citations which
comprise the lesson-sermon is
the following from the Bible:
And when Jesus was come into
Peters house, he saw his wife'S
mother laid, and sick of fever.
And he touched her hand, and
the fever left her: and she arose,
and ministered unto them. (Mat-
thew 8:14,15)
The lesson-sermon also in
cludes the following passages
from the Christian Science Text
Book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy: IF God destroys
not sin, sickness, and death, they
are not destroyed in the mind Of
mortals, but seem to this so-called
mind to be immortal.
What God cannot do, man
need not attempt. If God heals
not the sick, they are not healed,
for no lesser power equals the in
finite All.power; but God. Truth,
Life. Love, does heal the sick
through the prayer Of the right
eous." (Page 231O
