In some of the phases of this pol
luton question it seems to me to be
stark madness to continue our mis-
takes of the past and ignore their
effect on the future.
People go on their vacationing to
a beautiful country, not necessarily
a new country. A beautiful country
does not include in its foreground a
sinking stream.
Perhaps that is why thirteen mill

no thern Michigan last year while

without exception use the most

Easy to Finance
No difficulty will be encountered
in Indiana under our present laws
in taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity to finance our construction
costs Of sewage disposal plants
through the R. F. c. Provision has
been made fully in this state to en-
able us to defray the operating
costs on a rental basis and to raise
the needed money for construction
by loans from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
All self-liquidating civic projects,
however, under the government rul-
ing will have to be started and the
loan authorized before Jan. %, 1884.
That leaves very little time to act.
It may be noted that action is the
only ingredient lacking in the In
diana situation.

span of a generation the ruination

Increased Purchasing
Power Aim Upheld

plete misunderstanding of eco
nomicS.
In the first place, there is no
such distinction between goods"
and services" as this statistician
makes. He classes all railway
transportation labor, all clerical
labor, and all person in trade as
producers of Services" not goods.
But the accounting staff of a
steel mill helps to produce steel
and the trainmen and dealers
who provide the finished steel
where and when 1t is wanted
are also producing steel. Such
labor is as much engaged In
producing goods as are miners
and factory hands.
Therefore. it is untrue to say
that the unemployment of one
half of the ten million is caused by
the unemployment of the other
half.
Basis Called False
In the second place, there is
no such distinction as he makes
between durable goods" and
consumers goods" Automobiles
and furniture are durable, but
they are certainly also consumers
goods. So are houses.
The real distinction is be-
tween "capital goods" and "cOn-
sumers' goods" Some capital
goods are durable factory
buildings and machinery and
some are not (Oil, fuel, and
many raw materially.
Consumers goods are all fin
ished goods for sale to ultimate
consumers, and include automo-
biles and furniture as well as
tires and clothing.
Buying Power Proper Aim
It follows that not only is the
classification used wrongly, but
the conclusion based on it is
wrong. II it were possible to
create purchasing power artifi-
cally at all, an increase in con-
sumer purchasing power would be
exactly the thing to aim at.
Capital goods may be said to
get their value from the consum-
ers' goods which they help to
produce. The demand for factory
buildings and machinery comes
from the automobiles, furniture,
etc., which are manufactured by
their aid. 1t is therefore perfectly
valid to reason that whatever in
creases demand for consumers
goods also increases demand for
capital goods.

COTTON STICKS
AFTER MAKING
SMALL GAIN

NEW YORK, Dc. 18 dN.SJ.
In a quiet trading session today
cotton futures registered only
small gains, showing little re-
sponse to the advance at Liver
pool.
Initial dealings accounted for
the highs of the day with the list
ranging from 4 to 7 points above
Saturdays close. In the ensu-
ing hours activity was at a
snail's pace and contracts held
at or slightly below the opening
quotations.
Trade Demand Fair
There was a fair demand from
the domestic and foreign trade,
including especially the Cont
mental trade. Wall Street and
commission house purchase dis
tant months. Some scattered
covering was noticeable.
January liquidation on mod
crate scale continued. New Or
leans, the South, spot firms and
cooperative brokers sold, but not
in any great amounts.
The New York cotton exchange
service today estimated world pro-
duction Of all kinds of cotton this
season at about 25,134,000 bales,
including both American and for
eign growths. This compared
with 3,505 900 bales last season
and 26,535, 900 two seasons ago.
Production Statistics
Although this seasons indicated
production is 1923, 900 bales larger
than last seasons relatively short
crop, the services stressed, it is
100000 bales smaller than the
average production of 25,5OO,O 600
bales in the past five seasons.
Noon quotations were unchanged

unchanged at 900; January. up

incorrect and un ound. This
should be emphasized, because one
of the most diScouraging features
of our situation is the fact that
so much of our analysis Of causes
is wrong that we continually try
to use ineffective remedies.
This statiscian's reasoning
about unemployment is as fol-
lows:
/. There are about ten million
unemployed.
2. OF these, five million are pro-
ducers of goods" (material pro-
ductS), and five million are pro-
ducers of services" (shines and
polishes, cooking, medical atten-
ton, etc.,. He includes clerical
and transportation, labor in
services"
Distinction Is Made
8. The unemployment Of the
service half is caused by the
unemployment in the goods"
half, he says.
4. But practically all of the
unemployment in the production
of goods" Is in the production
of durable goods" (such as
machinery, automobiles and build
ings). There is very little among
producers of Consumers goods, :"
he says-clothing, tires, gasoline;
etc.
S. Therefore, he argues. what
we need is to stimulate directly
the production of durable goods.
The great defect of the present
program is the attempt to give
purchasing power to consumers.
