Silver Group SOftens

The silver group softened espe-
cially American Smelling, United
States Smelling and International
Silver issues. The entire group OF
so-called commodity stocks were
hard-pressed as traders took profits.
The last hour selling increased as
the close neared. Tickers fell behind
several minutes and it, was neces-
sary to abbreviate quotations.
Steel issues were sold heavily.
United States Steel broke below 40,
against a close Thursday of 4214
American Can, Continental Can,
Dupont, Allied Chemical, Sears
Roebuck and long list of others
lost points or more.
Homestake Mining reached a
record high of 201 IN the mid day
trading, and other gold miners made
new tops for the year Homestake
is the only active stock selling at
that price. Back in 1929 there
were ninety-four issues selling above
200 and in 1880 there were thirty
seven.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Stocks
followed grains down Friday when
the dollar made a good recovery in
terms Of the pound sterling and
other European currencies.
The crash in the pound sterling
from an opening of $780, to S3.74A
brought heavy selling into wheat,
and that grain dropped Ia cents
to IL cents on the day. Other
grains made corresponding losses.
Silver broke the limit of 300 points.
Commodities generally were lower.
The rapid upturn in the dollar
was a technical reaction from an
oversold condition. 1t was discon-
certing to those who had antici-
pated wild inhationary demonstra-
tons, and it may have been engi-
nered by the English through their
equalization fund, although that
could not be confirmed.
Selling was sporadic throughout
the day in the industrial division
Utilities were hit hard after their
sharp rise Thursday. Railroads were
a sensation at the opening, soaring
to new highs for the year. Aviation
issues had period of strength.

We're beginning to wonder if the rare European wines that are being shipped and prepared for shipment to this nation to ar- rive about December will be bought up in the quantities expected. It has already come to light that right in our own midst there are thousands of gallons of old vintages ready for sale. In California at the close of the current season there will be 50.000,000 gallons of wine stored. New York state. which was always 9 great champagne region, reports much bulk wine on hand. Miehi- gan. Ohio, and other states in the Great Lakes region are also great producers of wine and are merely waiting for the day when their stored products may be released. We wouldn't be bit surprised to find the native wines gaining in popularity and the foreign ones losing.

Once again New York city is warning on the use of radio photographers on its streets. Most cities have confronted this problem in the last few years and pondered on it with out actually doing anything. New York. though, seems to be aroused right now. It wants the use of these speakers banned as an "undigni6ed interference with business |. Disruption of traffic was among the many evils credited to this form of outdoor ad- vertisement We don't doubt but what in many instances they do constitute petty annoyance. Regulation might be effective.

Winter In The Zoo

The keeper of fourishing middle-west, ern zoo is worrying as he faces the onset of winter. He worries particularly about the eheetah, three leopards two gazelles, two crowned cranes. three zebras, water buff falo and family of monkeys. They de- velop pneumonia very quickly" says the keeper. T don't, think ever saved an ani- nal that got pneumonia, and never heard of anyone else who did, either.
 "The main thing is to keep the building warm and free from drafts. Also to be careful about their food. Of course. we give 'em cod liver oil - anything that will hold up their stamina. If we can keep em warm and well fed, and keep their minds settled and free from worrying. we'll have pretty good chance to bring 'em through the winter in good shape.' That goes for several million humans in this big economic menagerie of ours, too.

Christmas Jobs

a Postmaster General Farley directs all post masters to employe for temporary service during the Christmas rush Ito the fullest possible extent competent. and deserving ,mcn and women who are unemployed and who have dependents Those employed will be paid 55 cents an hour and will be limited to 10 hours day. They will be put on without regard to civil service rules and regulations for this short term.
 5 Mr Farley suggests. moreover. that the public send Christmas mail early. It is time even now to be packing off gifts for friends in the Far East. The gift mailing public will lose day this year. for all carrier de- liveries and window service will be suspend ed Sunday. Dee. A. as we'll as on Christmas day. Those who wait till the traditional last minute will be too late unless they make the last minute come earlier so to speak. And the sooner the rush begins, the sooner the extra workers will be needed. As they need the work and the money right now. here is one place where the general public
 can help to give employment. Gifts, how
 ever modest. bought and mailed early. will help some other. family to get comfortably ], over bad spot.

Those Huge Profits

When Senate Investigators uncovered the facts about the fat salaries which such men as Wiggin and Mitchell enjoyed in recent years. the man in the street was not slow in expressing complete disapproval. h. comes that are figured in quarter-millon lots don't look so good against back ground of l2,000.000 men out of work. The uproar that greeted the news was quite justified.
 Less fuss is being made about some of the later revelations of easy money in Wall street. Yet these revelations are in fact more important than those which had to do with the swollen salaries of the big shot money changers. It can be claimed after all, that salary is matter between man and his stockholders; but system which creates millions in profits for men who have rendered society no return what soever admits of no such defense. Consider the little matter of the stock < transactions about which Arthur w. Cut ten told the senators the other day. Back in 1929, group of men headed by Cutten. Harry F. Sinclair and Wiggin organized a get-rich-quick oil stock syndicate. This syndicate promptly bought some l.l30.O00 i. shares of Sinclair oil stock. Before they paid for 1t, however, they sold it-at very neat profit of $l2.000,000.
 The participants in this gay little party used none of their own money. They didn't have to. When you can sell, at a profit, an article which you have not yet paid for. you don't really need much of bankroll to finance your deal. Now the more you think about this, the odder it all seems. You can cook up some sort of jus 4ti6cation for stock gambling system by which a man who risks his money can get return on it if he is lucky; but what are you going to say about system which per- mits high pressure crew to clean up Sl2.- 100000 without putting up a nickel! It was this sort of thing. and not the prev alenee of unjustifably high salaries. that } constituted the real weakness of the boom era.

Double-Standard Dollar

As between fixed gold dollar and var fable price index dollar, an ingenious citi- zen who writes to the editor about 1t would choose both. In this way he thinks justice could be done to both debtor and creditor without running the risk of currency in- flation.
 ''The trouble is, he explains, "that the dollar has too many functions. Let us take away its function as standard of de- ferred payments and make any debt payable, at the option of either debtor or creditor, in terms of the price index at the time it was contracted. The price index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics could be extended to serve
 That would he fair to both sides. There need be no further waiting by bankers who are now afraid to lend lest they lose by imitation. There would be fewer mortgages foreclosed. as this law would reduce the amount to be paid on most of them to a point at which refinancing would be pos- sble. Debtor and creditor would be assured of substantial justice, no matter what dollar values business exigencies might dictate"
 Then, he thinks, we could get rid of wild demands for imitation. and get our minds working on the problem of stabilized dol lar as a cornerstone for stabilized business. So here is another chance for money arguments.

Story Of A Tiger Spoiled By Satire

In 1T. The Tiger" Manuel Kom- rolf has written book which hardly can fail to be disappointing to many readers who have been led by his former books to expect con- sistently first-rate performances from him.
 What we have here is the auto- biography of a tiger. That, of course, is fair enough. But MT Kemreff has undertaken at the same time to do a satire on the human race, and the mixture of satire and story doesn't quite jell. You never know just what you're reading.
 The story in itself is straight forward and interesting enough.
 Rajah, a Bengal tiger, is captured in the jungle, just as he is passing the cub stage. His captor sells him to a circus, and Rajah spends some time travelling about the country in a cage. After while he is sent to a zoo. and from there he goes to a Hollywood animal farm.
 At last Rajah gets into the mo- vies. The company goes to India to make a jungle picture and Rajah is taken along. He soon discovers that he either can escape into the jungle, or even scores by killing the man who captured him. Because he hates his captor so deeply. he picks the second course, gives up his hope of freedom. and goes down fighting.
 But the satire weights all of this down. MT Komroff has discovered that the human race is cruel, vain, cowardly, and somewhat goefy, and he tells us all about it, over and over.
 The result is that the, book sounds somewhat like the angry complaint of a sophomore who just has learned that there isn't any Santa Claus.

whether he walks on the right or the left sides, he is certain to be showered with muddy water by the passing cars.
 A correspondent, MT l.. K. Por- ritt of West Hartford, suggests through the Peoples Forum that advantage be taken at the present time of the Civilian Conservation Corps to construct safe, dry foot paths along our highways, where the pedestrian would be free of both the hazard and the incon- venience that attend his present progress along the shoulders. While there may be some question as to whether this matter can or should be handled by the c. c. c. the efforts of which may by law be limited to work directly or in- directly connected with forest con- servation there can be little ques- tion that the matter is one that de- serves early attention, if not by the c. c. C., then by state agencies or perhaps by the Presidents make work" planners.
 Connecticut is justly proud of it's highways. They are in general ex- cellently constructed, we'll main- tained and efficiently and tastefully adorned by the Bureau of Roadside Development. The motorist has good reason to boast of them. If, by the laying out of a system of footpaths, along roads that cannect near-togetherN towns, the pedes- trian could be given as much req son for pride as is the motorist. Connecticut might with justice lay claim to a model highway system.

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace calls it rational resettlement of America" but in this state officials talk about the regional housing plan. Talking recently to the As sociation of Land Grant Colleges the Cab inet member forecast at some future date the control of all American farm land. If that isn't something along the lines proposed in this state. then we miss our guess. The state board of fisheries and game has been instrumental in pushing to success move ment which would place on self-supporting farms men who no longer have a place in our industrial life. The plan Is also open to ex-servicemen. In brief certain areas would be set aside for these men on which they would be quartered and allowed to make their own living Secretary Wallace says the crop limitation plan is apt to provide us with the first sensible scheme of land production. While the Connecticut idea isn't quite to do this thing it eventu- ally would reclaim idle acres and turn them to some purpose, not necessarily agricul- tural

Good Will, Good Business


 There is instruction for industry in gen. eral, and for the public, in the story of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company of Color ado, as presented at the coal code hearings, Coal operators had been protesting that any shortening of hours and days in coal mines would increase labor costs to the point of ruin. One operator, Josephine Roche, head of the Rocky Mountain Company, then told the results of her own experience. Her statement is re-told in an article, Chaotic Coal by Merle D. Vincent, in the Novem- Der Survey Graphic.
 When she came into control, Miss Roche found the company had an excessive capi- tai structure. large fixed bond-interest charge, no surplus or operating capital, and was dependent upon current revenues to meet operating cost and fixed charges. Within a year she had naugurated union- management co-operation policy. Com pany officers. department heads superin- tendents and the men in the mines, under this policy. have improved working and liv- ing standards, reduced production costs and administrative expense, and met bond ob- ligations.
 In 1932 the production of coal in all Colorado mines was 4.95 tons per man per day. For the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com- pany. now in receivership. it was 5.26 tons. For the Rock Mountain Fuel Company it was 6.30 tons. Higher efficiency. the records suggests. is perfectly compatible with genuine cooperation employer and employees.

MUNICIPAL REFORM HOPES
(springfield Republican,

Both in New York and Boston the so-called good government ele- ment that makes non-partisanship in municipal affairs the basis of it's political action looks forward hope fully to charter revision.
 In Boston, the election of MT Mansfield as mayor, with the Good Government association's indorse- ment, was nonpartisan in the sense that none of the six cadidates wore a party label or ran as a party can- didate; yet the Good Government association now squarely condemns the present Boston charter. Its ex- ecutive committee in 8 signed statement wonder how long the citizens of Boston will be content with their present wornout sys- tenn" They suggest the Cincinati city manager plan as a desirable alternative.
 MT LaGuardia may also have in mind the city manager plan in say ing: "The board of aldermen must go. A new city charter will reor- ganize the city's complicated gov- ernment." As the board of alder men and the district-attorney's off fee will still be under Tammany control, the new municipal govern ment already reveals the serious defect of divided responsibility. not to say conflicting elements. in ad- ministration.
 There has ben no lack of ex- perimentation in city government during the past 25 years. Commis- sion government, city manager government, non-partisan govern ment have been tried out in many cities. Reformers have met with failures, also with successes. As for Boston, MT Mansfield. says the Good Government Association. ifs only at the beginning of a hard road" That is probably true also of New York.
 Yet sometime, it would seem, there must be definitive results to show from experimentation. We cannot yet answer with finality the question, are the great American cities capable of good government under universal suffrage? No, po- litical institution in these times is so secure that it can escape chal- lenge.
