Gains on Coast
Seen bySOup

Conditions on the West Coast
have improved substantially over
a Jear ago, Paul ShOup, vice
chairman of Southern Pacific
Company, stated. He said the
most encouraging feature is that
the improvement is in almost all
lines.
The cattle and dairy indus
try in California is one of the
few lines which has not re-
spOnded to improves prices, Mr..
ShOup stated. He said perish
ables and farm produce are do
ing exceptionally well. Citrus
fruit growers are receiving bet
ter prices for their produce and
their volume has increased. Mr..
ShOup stated that while the
grape movement was not as
large as . year ago, the grow
erS received better prices, prin-
cipalIy for wine purposes. The
hop farmers in the large Cali
fOrnia valleys are doing an in
creasingly larger business, he
said.

New Deal Means Reforms
In Business, Is Belief

against the Old Deal, much of
which it seeks to destroy in order
that it may set up new institu-
tions.
Old Regime Bad Points
The serious long-run problem of
the New Deal, however, is to de-
stroy the evil part of the old deal,
and at the same time to save the
good part.
What are the bad points in the
old deal? They are: Cd Ignorant
and selfish individualism, (2)
abuse of credit for initiation and
speculation, 90 rotten politics
and unrepresentative government,
and az unwise government in
reference with economic life
sometimes too much, sometimes
too little, often bad.
These things led to inefficient
leadership, manipulation, fraud
and unequal opportunities. They
worked through bad corporation
laws, monopoly, financial trickery,
dk1A u1A1d11 SO4APCOAVAOLA'
Raps Unintelligence
Their roots are found in the
low ideals, unintelligence, and
lack Of information among men.
The soil consists of badly con-
structed institutions which allow
power without responsibility, and
"inside" control of corporations
and government.
But individualiSm need not be
ignorant and selfish. Credit need
not be abused. Politics need not
be rotten, nor Representative"
governments be misrepresentation.
Corporations can be reformed,
and monopoly be eliminated or
controlled. Competition can be
fair.
Already we have the Securities
Act and considerable reform in
banking. Some of the bases Of
fairer competition have been eS-
tablished.
Should Seek Better
The point is that under the
new deal we should seek not
what is new, but what is better.
There has been much that is
good in our past economic and
political life. We should destroy
only the weeds and insect pests,
and let the good grain grow.
Just now, whatever was in 1929
seems wrong. That is a danger
Gus frame of mind. Most men if
taken back to 1929 right now
would like it.

But we will not understand the
reform aspect unless we see that
it also has two sides. One OF
these sides of the reform" pro-
gram is evolutionary. It seeks to
build on the past and is con

reform proper.
Other Side
The other side Of reform" is
revolutionary. 1t seeks to destroy
part of the past, and is thus de-
structive. It is negative. This is
not reform proper.
I think that while we all desire
evolutionary and constructive re-

carefully what revolution may de.
stroy in the nature of individual
initiative and sound money.

GRA|NS|NACT|VE
DURING EARLY
DEALINGS

CHICAGO, Jan IS G.N.S). u.
Extreme dullness marked forenoon
dealings in grains here. Commis-
sion house operators were inactive,
while local traders practically
stood aside to await developments.
There was nothing in the news
to influence dealings, and the
weather failed to live up to expec-
tations. The cold wave in the
Southwest was not severe enough
to cause damage to the wheat
crop, and served to offset the con-
tinued lack of moisture.
The market opened moderately
lower and near noon remained
steady at that level, wheat, corn
and other grains being 1s to 3s of
a cent lower.

Of transactions was restricted.
The market opened 6 to 8
points lower, or about in line
with Liverpool, figured on the
rate for sterling. Later dealings
effected little change in initial
prices, with futures holding with

The jurisdictional dispute between

a move to make the hours of sale
uniform among various classes of

To clear up an uncertainty in the
regulations the commissioners also
adopted another rule specifically for
bidding the sale of bottled 80 beer on

been banned. Only light wine and
draught beer may be sold by "on-
