Solomon, Minor and one or two
others are running. What do you
say?
From wholly unofficial and rather
roundabout sources I have heard
that you think Mckee is a honey,
O'Brien a fool and La Guardia a
shade too radical. But naturally we
all want to hear what you think di-
rectly from you.
We feel that you owe us clear
statement on the situation as it
seems to you. We feel that you owe
it to yourself.

Being a constant reader of The
Times, would like to put in few
words for "the treasury robber" as
the ex-service man is called.
The man who stayed at home re-
ceived from SIS to $14 a day. We
got ST a day. Did he go through
what we went through? Hardly.
Yet, when the war is over, who was
it to whom the government paid
a bonus? Railroad workers, after
making from $3.50 to 5000 a month,
received a big bonus. We got half
of ours after fight for it ten years
later, and now are paying interest
of 31a per cent on the other half.
Who has gotten the most?
Our President in his speech said
we should not expect more than
the man who stayed at home. We
don't, but we should have half as
much as he received. 1t is time we
get break before it is too late.
Most of us are starving or are on
the verge of it.

If religion is a personal matter,
relating to personal conduct, and
not an abstract philosophy dealing
in platitudes, then it would seem
logical that our leaders of business,
education and religion would find it
more corresponding to real religion,
to see that charity becomes I'M
necessary.
Justice done to those who create
wealth by labor would provide a
share in the products OF labor, equal
to a decent standard of living for
the workers, and make doles mat
ter of history.
Recognition of human values
would blot out practically all of our
crime, low living standards, slums
and unnecessary sickness resulting
from exploitation. Our economic
system seems to be built like our
political system, on spoils.
Its operators rather would cast
charity crumbs to their victims,
than give recognition to workers as

Seasonal Factors
Seen Ruling Trade

The Standard Statistics Com
pany, in its weekly summary, cur
rently comments:
"It is evident that seasonal
factors, although belated, have
asserted themselves in check
ing the progress Of business re-
cOvery, as measured by the usual
indexes. In fact, the seasonal
factor apparently has been
sO,te ewhat accentuated, first
through a normal reaction initl-
ated by the speculative collapse
in July, and more recently by
uncertainties over the recovery
program.
"NOthing has occurred, how
ever, to create serious doubt that
the upward movement will be
resumed later in the year, de-
spite the possibility that a
period of considerable uncer-
tainty may intervene"

The American banking system

promptly, DR.. Harold Stonier told

the local chapter Of the Amer
lean Institute of Banking, at a

BIC MOTOR BUS
GAINS SHOWN

The number of motor busses
in use on the nations highways
reached a new high total last
year despite decline in the num-
ber of passengers carried.
At the same time the miles Of
bus routes in use showed a large
gain and a corresponding gain
was also recorded in investments
in rolling stock and terminals,
according to the National Asso-
citation of Motor Bus Operators.
A total of 100000 busses were
in service on January l, of which
total 32,213 were common car
riers. School buSses, which ac-
counted for the gain in the total
number of coaches, were 55,23l.
While the year showed a de-
cline in the number of bus miles
operated, the miles of bus routes
rose from $4,000 miles in 1881
to 1,049,80 last year. Passengers
carried in intercity service drop
ped from 465 100000 in 1881 to
100000 last year.
Investment in physical property
rose to a new high total last year
of $409,500,O0O. Taxes paid by
the industry as a whole also

GRAIN FUTURES
MAKE GOOD
ADVANCE

CHICAGO, Sept. 13 G.N.S0.
An advance of nearly &c bushel
in wheat featured a rising grain
market here today. Fairly active
buying which was induced by over
night political developments was
the main factor for the bullish
market.
December wheat shot up above
99c for a gain of nearly &c while
corn gained about a cent to sell
above sic. Other grains displayed
a similar trend.
Liverpool was unchanged to 3sc
higher and Winnipeg was 1s to
12c higher.
Futures openings here were:
Wheat: December 881s @88H;
May 923s@92A.
Corn: September 46A; Decem-
ber 5os@51b; May 56a @571s.

Consumption Increase
Vital to Recovery

August, considering the season,
and has continued to slump IN
September.
Even automobile production,
after a long period of expansion,
is now yielding to the usual sea-
Sonal forces. While building activ.
lty gained little in August, it is
still extremely depressed.
The production of electrical
power, cotton textiles, lumber and
flour have all receded or shown
less than seasonal gains.
Most significant as to the cur
rent trend is the movement Of the
volume of back check drawn. This
declined in the latest week, and
was actually per cent lower than
IN the same week last year.
Not All DiscOuraging
The recent trend of business
indices need not be discouraging,
however. 1t is a blow to exag-
gerated hopes built upon the arti-
flclal stimulation Of business last
summer, which caused production
to run ahead of consumption.
Now the curtailment of produc-
ton is bringing a readjustment,
and If a nautral and lasting in
crease in consumption gets under
way We may hope for a more
orderly and sustained recovery be-
fore the end of the wear.
