 Schwab declared that one way of returning prosperity was by main taining a high wage scale. He point cd out that many firms maintained high wage standards even though obliged to adopt part time opera ton.
 Tt is my hope that nothing will develop in our economic structure which will compel the taking of 8 backward step," he said.
 He asserted that he was a believer in the carefully planned merger, but suggested that the principal disad- vantage of the merger was its ten- dency to curtail operation. adding that modern industry had lost some- thing of the energy and force of personal ownership possessed by en- terprises of a generation ago.
 '"To some extent this personal in- centive exists in the publishing field" he said. land believe the vigor of the American press may be credited largely to that very factor.

GOLDEN YEARS OF
 PROSPERITY ARE ON THEIR WAY
Charles M. Schwab Pre- diets Ten of Such Years Will Start in the Imme- diate Future

New York, April 24.-OUP).- Ten golden years of prosperity were predicted by Charles M. Schwab chairman of Bethlehem Steel cor poration. at the annual dinner last night of the American Newspaper Publishers association.
 "The next ten years are going to see the rehabilitation and improve ment of properties" he told more than 500 publishers from all parts of the United States and Canada. "Electrification will receive new Im- petus. Prices will become better stabilized. Home industries will vain. The automobile will reach new high levels. Advertising will make in- creased strides.
 Tn short. the American family will continue to enjoy well-rounded progressive existence, conducive to business prosperity and progress"
 Schwab indirectly defended his bonus plan which added $1,625,753 In one year to the $12,00O annual salary of Eugene c. Grace, president, when he declared that millions of dollars in gain or loss depended upon the decision of the top executive.
 The average expenditure for property improvements, additions and acquisitions at Bethlehem. has been million dollars week for the past 26 years. Clearly the respon- abilities of the office held by MT. Grace and the potential effect of his decisions upon investments of the owners are of vast consequence.
 IT you are going to get good man.

KING AND QUEEN OF SIAM TRYING
 TO SECURE REST

Purchase, W. Y.. April 24.-UP While his consort, Queen Rambai- barni, was familiarizing herself with purchases from New York stores, King Prajadhipok was boring through a multitude of state business to-day in the temporary capitol of Siam--a garage on the Ophir Hall estate of Mrs Whitelaw Reid.
 Thousands of letters from all parts of the world were received. offering to sell or give his majesty quick cures for cataract in his left eye. which he came to this country for

ian operation. Real estate promoters from throughout the United States have offered "the possessor of four and twenty umbrellas choice sites. where they are positive ''the climate will cure almost anything"
 Prajadhipok was to spend a short time in his temporary capitol to-day for long distance conferences with his cabinet ministers concerning his l11,500,000 subjects. Special tele- phone and wireless service, providing direct communication with the pal ace of the nine umbrellas In Bang kok. have been installed. The king and queen, botE ardent golfers, planned to play a round later to-day if the course. soaked by two days of rain. was sufficiently dry. They also have planned several mo- tor trips in Westchester county and along the Hudson river.
 His majesty will devote as little time as necessary to affairs of state. and will remain in seclusion as much as possible. Special agents guard ing the 75-room mansion said he is sorely in need of rest and probably
 would attend no functions in his honor until after his visit Tuesday to Washington where he will be greeted at the White House by President Hoover.
 The king and queen made a secret
 visit to. New York, city yesterday at (which time the queen visited several stores while his majesty was con- ferring with physicians.

palace into the tiny bachelor fat he
continued to keep during his long
term Of office. His exact plans are
unknown, but he is understood to
favor a return to the quiet Of the
senate as soon as a seat can be
vacated for him. He was married
only recently.
The retiring president leaves Office
with probably the greatest popu-
larity Of any occupant Of the Ely
see. Genial, smiling and an ardent
traveller, he conquered Frenchmen
as few public figures have done. His
popularity is as great as that of
Raymond Poincare, and together
they stand among the most es-
teemed Of contemporary Frenchmen
to their fellows.
Throughout his career, Doum-
cirque has been logged by the figure
13. He was elected on the tair-
tenth day Of the thirteenth legis-
lature on May 10, 1924, and on
May 1913, 1881, his successor, the
thirteenth president, was elected to
take Office June Is.
Contrasting with the quiet Doum-
cirque household, Douner is moving
his family into the Elysee, where
there will be frequently, as visitors,
come his band Of grandchildren, the
offspring Of his four sons killed in
the war.
Doumer's troubles will start Sat-
urday when, in accordance with
tradition, Premier Pierre Laval will
offer the resignation of the cab
met. 1t is understood that Doumer
will ask Laval to carry on.

cedural laws being considered.
Other states show a similar ten.
dency to look on their criminal
law with critical eyes.
In all prbability. there is not a
single state in the union in which
the criminal law operates with
even reasonable satisfaction. 10
the first place there are too many
laws, and more are constantly
being passed. In the second
place, large part of these laws
are onerous to good citizens, and
are. from practical standpoint,
unenforceable. It might be ob
served that if all our laws were
rigidly enforced. and all law
breakers imprisoned there would
be few left to act as jailers. And
in the third place, technicalities
often make it possible for hard
ened offenders to evade justice.
No law at all is better than a
poor law. If the American peo
pie show contempt for legal
restrictions, it is the fault of our
lawmakers. who have, in the
past twenty years. gone a long
way toward banishing the liber
ties of a successful free people.
A wholesale revision and weed
ing out of laws in all states
would probably do more to cure
real crime than anything else.-

the worst ia several decades, yet
the industry spent $3.50, 900, 900
for new construction and i'm.
provements alone.
In short, the electric industry
is one of the most important and
stable spokes ia our industrial
wheel. It has gone ahead, in
the fuce of many obstacles. with
its work of providing the public
with better and cheaper service.
It has made decentralization Of
industry possible by giving
thousands of semi-rural com
munities the same standards of
electric service provided 10 large
cities, thus putting many small
towns on the industrial map. II
has made the American home
the most efficient and comforta
BILE in the world. It has given
American workers q greater pro
spec.iyity, and hence a greater
earning power, than the workers
of any other country.
America has been called a
utility-built country. The facts
and figures show that that is not
so exaggerated as it might seem

s7oo,ooo.ooo TO BE SPENT

During 1881, according to Off
cial estimates, electric light and
power companies will spend
about $500, ,O0O,O0 for new con
struction, and extension and bet
terment of facilities. While this
is somewhat below the 1880
figure. few other industries will
be able to show budgets Of equal
magnitude.
At the end of 1881 the electric
industry will have spent, in four
successive years, the gigantic
total of So. .256. 100000. The eff
feet this has had on maintaining
wage scales, living standards
and industrial progress is almost
incalcuable. Last year was gen
