There are a great number" Dickin-
son said, adding that he did not know
the exact figure.
He added, however. under questioning
by Vinson that the total $4,000 900 in
revenue would work hardship on
American concerns operating abroad.
Representative Woodruff, Republican
OF Michigan. said there is growing
concern in this country over the move
ment OF American capital into foreign
countries. l am speaking particularly
OF that for industrial purposes"
He asked Dickinson to place in the
record a statement of "the gross of
american industry in foreign countries
ana what 1t signified.''
Dickinson said establishment of
American industries abroad was due
TO tariff walls" in foreign countries.

provide the committee with information
on what effect this movement of capital
has had on employment in this country
Chairman Doughton said last night
the committee would conclude hear

Urging the fixing of the Federal Gov-

Representatives of the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches of Christ in America
the Central Conference of American

Rev. Father R. A. MCGOWAN. assc-

Welfare Council. told the committee:
| The Roosevelt program has shifted
the bulk of the tax burden from in

commodity taxes, tariffs and processing
taxes.
Places Burden on Consumer.
"The result is that the wealthy Of
| the Nation have been able to avoid the
payment of high income tax rates,
which would have been established had
taxation been on the basis of ability
to pay.
/ The general sales tax was rejected
by the last Congress. In its stead we

wisdom of paying farmers for reducing
acreage it is absurd that the revenue

from taxes upon our basic foodstuffs.

PROMINENT In
GOLD MEETING

Carl Trauerman. prominent
Montana mining engineer and
broker, was a leading figure in
the organization Of Gold Mining
Operators of America in sessions
held in San Fransico last week.
The gold miners conference
resulted in the organization Of
a body to present the problems
Of the mining industry TO the
government and to the people.
Mr.. Trauerman put through a
resolution asking for clarified
ton of the national securities
act to ease financing Of the
primary industries. explaining
that act restricts financing Of
mining companies.
Federal grubstakes for pros
peetors was asked and the presi-
dent was lauded for establishing
an American gold market. The
association elected George w.
Starr. Grass Valley. Calf. oper-
ator. as president.

The scene Of this unusual ac-
tivity is in the motherland Of
gold mining in Montana-the
Gold Greek area, where Benetsee,
the half-breed, found the first
gold In Montana territory and
where Granville Stuart, Montana's
outstanding pioneer. sounded the
call that brought the Argonauts
rushing from the placer beds Of
California and Colorado to the
Montana country to participate
in one of the greatest mining
developments in the history OF
the West. Benetsee found the
first gold but Granville Stuart
proclaimed its existence and by
SO doing enriched the nations Of
the earth.
Boom Is On
Gold Greek Is undergoing a
great revival just now. Depression
may reign throughout the
world, but any abnormal condi-
ton in industry. The small pOpu-
lation Of the little district, and
a number OF outsiders as we'll
are pulling down the weekly pay
envelope as in by-gone days.
In the old and until recently
deserted town of Pioneer, a struc-
ture that is apparently a Mis-
sissfppi river packet is being
constructed on dry land. This
boat is apparently almost finish
ed and the workmen are now
busy placing the equipment in
the hold and attaching a great
steel boom probably so feet
long, 5 feet wide and nearly 3
feet thick, to its PROV.
Dredge About Ready
The boat is a dredge. The
boom will carry the huge buckets
that are to bite into the sand |
and hoist out the gold values
that are known to exist. These
values were too elusive or too
far removed from water to be
captured by the gold hunters of
the seventies.
Dredge 70 GuIp Town
Soon Pioneer will be no more.
The gold dredge will be at work
within two months. Pioneer
stands on ground that the dredge
eovets to gulp into its greedy
nav.
There are more than 100
workers at Pioneer now en-
ployed in dredge construction.
These must have a home when
Pioneer vanishes and the new
town is being constructed to
offer them housing facilities.
The dredge will require only
few men to operate it-but there
are other dredges to be built.
This offers the possibility Of adj

states and their subdivisions should
be consulted, but such selections
should be subject to approval by
competent higher authority. In
Arizona, the best projects would be
highway improvements. We have a
vry large area, with limited pop
ulation and comparatively small
taxable valuations. OF our total area
Of lands in Arizona, 44.o9o are IN
cluded in federal reservations. When
the public lands are added, the fed
eral government is found 10 be- the
proprietor of $50 of our states
area. This includes our most val
liable lands and they are, of course,
not subject to state or county TAX
es. Therefore, the problem Of pro-
viding adequate highways is always
serious with us.
THE federal government has a
definite obligation to build and i'm
prove roads over its lands. Tran
sients should be permitted to work
on federal aid highways, which is
not the case under the present f.
F. c. regulations. If they work on
county roads or city streets, the
local authorities should be requlr
ed to provide all materials, tools,
equipment and supervision. If pro-
iects are on the federal aid syS-
TEN of highways, the federal aid
should be extended for participation
in the cost of materials and super
vision to the same extent that it
would be available for the particu-
lar project under the regular ap-
portionments to the state OF feder-
al aid funds for highway purposes.
"a plan has been proposed where
by camp would be established IN
Arizona for transients, where they
would be occupied in raising winter
vegetables. A site is available where
agricultural land, buildings, and
water for irrigation can be obtain
ed without cost. However, the wint-
er is so far advanced that it IS
| doubtful if such camp can now
be established with any practical
benefit. Besides, we have already
Nogales international., 1933-01-25

an over production Of vegetables and
other agricultural products, which
are selling at prices under the cost
of production. Such an establish
ment would only increase the pre-
sent glut of farm products on the
markets. We need more consumers
rather than producers of farm and
garden products.
H'I am not definitely committed to
any vocational training program in
connection with transient employ
inent, although I am not opposed to
it. The thing to be desired now is
to give these transients employ
ment where they can sustain life
and earn a small wage. When times
are better this relief would be dis
continued. and natural forces would
take care OF the situation.
The desperate condition of the
transients is a constant menace to
residents of those communities
where they concentrate. Crimes OF
burglary, petty thievery, safe break
ing. pilfering and house robbery
have increased in these communities
and are directly attributable to the
presence of large numbers of in
digent transients In some Of our
towns and cities which are division
piints on main lines of railroads,
the back door moochers" have be-
come such a nuisance and menace
that business men do not feel it
safe to leave thier women folk un-
protected while they are away at
work.
.sThe amount Of money which
each state would be entitled to re-
ceive under the proposed legisla-
ton should be determined by an in
telligent survey of the needs by
competent persons, rather than
through distribution on basis OF
population or other fixed standard
"n conclusion, I desire to state
that in my opinion the condition OF
the transient unemployed constitu-
tes a serious and menacing problem,
and that legislation along the lines

"AS you are doubtless aware, we
have a heavy drift of transients in
to and through Arizona during the
winter months. They are attracted
by the mild climate of this and ad-
I Joining states. The southern rail-
road and transcontinental highway
routes carry most of the transient
INDECENT travel in the winter. The
relief load is too great for the state
or the communities to carry. This
is particularly true at this time
when local needs for relief exceed
the ability to meet them.
"A total of 55,T23 persons were
given relief from r. F. c. funds In
Arizona during the months OF Oc-
tober, November and December,
1892. This means that, in general.
this number of families were cared
for, as the policy of the county ad-
ministrations was to give preference
to persons .ith dependents, and IN
no case to extend relief to more
than one person in family group.
This prefertnce to family men per-
mittcd comparatively little relief to
be extended to single persons, eth

There is a strongly cryStalllzeu
sentiment in our state that addl-
tional federal funds should be made
available for transients. The peo-
pla of this state do not believe that
their future federal aid for high
way should be diminished because OF
relief which has been extended to
transientS from other states.
'.Our problem of handling the To-
cal Unemployment situation has
been intensified and increased by
the closing down of our copper
mines, which previously have been
our greatest employers of labor.
81 repeat that the present setup
! of local relief and R. F. G.. relief
does not offer any real or perman-
ent solution Of the transient unem-
ployed problem. The Temporary re-
| lief extended, while helpful and ne
cessary, results merely in passing
on the transient to other states and
communities, where the process
!! must be repeated.
ssThere is considerable merit III
the plan carried out by California
last winter, where transientS were
given subsistence in encampmentS
in the state forests in exchange for
labor on roads, trails and fire
guards. Any federal plan should go
further and provide small wage,
from which they would have to
purchase their clothing and tobac-
CO, the federal government to pro-
vide food, quarters and lodging.
"The transients should be requir-
ed to render reasonable days

Neither the federal nor state govern
nlents have any obligation to re-
lieve an able bodied person who is
not willing to work.
Our experience in administering

convinced both Governor Hunt and

1t is very important and desirable
that the morale and self respect OF
the needy be maintained, in so far

if the recipients are permitted and

FAVORABLE TRADE
TREND IS WATCHED
More Stable Dollar Urged as
Stocks React to BuSi-
ness News.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 20 CN.ANA). .
ALI the turmoil over the fluctuations
in the gold value of the dollar and all
the conflict of opinion over the course
Of the authorities at Washington have
served to obscure the fact that the stock
market is paying far more attention to
business prospects than it has been
given credit for.
It is true that there has been specu-
lation in stocks believed to be good
hedges against imitation and there has
been liquidation of those issues which
do not offer that protection, but in both
classes there has been discrimination
with respect to the earning position,
regardless of imitation
The best example Of this is the cur
rent favor accorded to the motor shares
The automobile industry has made q
wonderful record all through the de-
preston. The largest unit has paid
dividends on its common stock without
interruption, although the rate has been
reduced. The industry. as a whole, has
and the present outlook Is favorable,
QeSQlCS tIlc SCooO1ldl lCt-uP AL dCkiuAAA
The stock market takes cognizance Of
this.
Another Illustration is the current
strength in the oil stocks. After years
Of adversity the oil industry is on the
road to recovery, helped perhaps In
larger degree than any other by the
code set up for 1t under the N. r. A.
While the accepted business indexes
indicate q continuance Of the slowing
down Of the heavy industries. the re-
action Is proceeding at q slower pace
and in individual cases it has been
checked entirely. The magazine Steel
reports today that operations have ex-
panded 4 points to % per cent during
the past week and adds that "steel max
ers believe that before the first OF the
year there will be substantial reviva!
In buying If not in actual production OF
steel" The stock market is not In
different TO this note Of cheer.
Not 50 much can be said for the
electric light and power operators. The
output of power Is again gaining over
1882, but the tax burden on the utilt-
ties, the specter Of Government COM
petition and the agitation for reduction
of rates have intimidated holders OF
the stocks, some Of which are down
close to the lows Of 1888 and not far
