CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-The year

Lloyd S. Tenny, business manager

Producers received higher prices
generally in 1884, according to Mrs.
Tenny. Trading, however, was
lighter than in 1888, the decline be-
ing around 10000 cars. Fluctuations
were less violent, he pointed out.
Butter prices made new three-year

THOMAS URGES
CUT IN DOLLAR
Economic System Viewed
Threatened Unless Step
Is Taken.
BY ELMER THOMAS
Senator From Oklahoma
Written Expressly for The Times

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - A
cheaper dollar for 1885 is needed
and unless it is Forthcoming the
very existence of our units of gov
eminent, as well as our entire eco
nomic system, is threatened. When
the Thomas amendment was passed
our annual total tax bill for Fed
eral, state, county, city, township
and school support was some Is bill
lion dollars. Our annual interest
bill was some 10 billion dollars and
our total massed debts were some
$50 billion dollars.
To pay our taxes, interest and
debts, we had to get dollars To
get dollars we had to give up prop
erty, wealth and services to the val
ue of 1877 cents for each dollar
Hence, to pay our Is billion Of taxes,
we had to give up wealth to the
value of some Is billion dollars.
To pay our 10 billion of interest,
we had to give up wealth to the
value of some 16 billion dollars; and
to pay our $50 billion dollars debts
we would have had to give up wealth
to the value of some AIT billion
dollars.
My fight has been waged against
the excessively high valued dollar.
To date the purchasing power of
the dollar has been reduced from
1877 cents to 1870 cents.
Summarizing the results to date
from operation under the Thomas
amendment, we find taxes have
been decreased in value six billion
dollars; interest has been decreased
in value three billions dollars;
massed debts have been decreased
in value 90 billion dollars, and our
total national wealth has been in
creased in value some go billion
dollars.
When we ad these figures we find
that already the amendment has
caused the shifting of values in the
total sum of 161 billion dollars. We
arc demanding that the dollar be
further cheapened by elimination of
the remaining 80 cents of excess
value.
President Roosevelt has power to
bring this about His proclamation,
tying the dollar to Is grains of gold,
should be rescinded. Then, with the
dollar freed from gold, new money
can be placed ia circulation until
the value of the dollar returns to
100 cents or to the 1926 level.

been by far the best stoker year the

New Models Displays Are

BIZ United Press


DETROIT, Dec. 31.-Old cars are
getting older and there's one New
Years resolution the automotive
industry would like to help the pub
lie fulfill in 1885.
I'm going to replace that old 90
model this year for sure" it prom
iSes.
Partial observance of such a reso-
luton, whether in 1885 or some year
soon, would go far toward returning
the industrys normal operations.
Statisticians for the Government
have figured that car owners still
are driving approximately 100000
machines which were manufactured
in 1928 or earlier. Production for
this year-probably double the de-
preston ebb in 1932-may exceed
100000 cars and trucks.
Improvement Is Seen
Comparative figures show the
possibilities of improvement along
this line. There are approximately
100000 seven years old or older;
100000 cars six years old, and H.
100000 five years old. Manufacture
ers' figures for 1928 production to-
tailed 4,6O1,O00 cars and trucks;
1929, 5,621,0O0; 1880, 100000; 1881,
2, 472,OOO; 1882, 1,431 900, and 1888,
1,986,OOO.
Trade agencies say replacement of
those old machines, together with
many other gradually improving
market factors, may help reach a
production total Of 100000 units
next year.
One recent editorial comment en-
phasized that annual manufacture
of even 100000 cars seems per-
fectly assured as soon as the av-
erage purse still jingles after food,
clothing and shelter are provided.
Meanwhile, production is being
speeded up, with introduction of new
1895 models well under way. Among
those scheduled for public introduce
ton during the year END and early
in January, are Ford and Pontiac,
the Chrysler line, excepting Dodge,
already introduced, and General Mo-
tors, including the STANDARD" Chew
rolet models; Oldsmobile, Nash, REQ
and Packard's new w-priced car.
Advance Orders Heavy
Advance orders for new models
are heavy. In some cases greater
than in years, manufacturers an
nounced after dealers previewed
them.
Factory employment might be
spread over a longer period, how
ever, if this ordering also we're
spread. One of the largest pro-
ducers is attempting to eliminate
peaks and drops by spreading in
PRODUCTION of new cars, but warned
that the public would have to CO.
operate.
Canadian automobile production
during the first IL months of the
year rose 70 per cent over the same
1893 period, the Windsor (Ont0
Commerce Chamber reported. BY
Dec. l, 114,188 cars had left assem-
bly, lines, 40,011 for export. Manu-
featuring of trucks and chassis in
the same period jumped 263 per
cent.

Indianapolis IN general mas
not been so hard hit as many
other cities, and for this we
as a community have reason
to be thankful"
Mr.. Borinstein presented some
statistics to show the trend Of BUSH
ness in Indianapolis in 1884, as fol-
lows:
Bank deposits in Indianapolis to
Nov. l increased to $3.50, $4,000 from
total of S134,237 900 in 1888 and
bank clearings to Nov. l, 1884, were
1851 .663,933, compared with $780,
245 900 for 1888. This seems to in
dictate a definitely increased buSi-
ness tempo.
Grocery JObbers Prosper
Grocery jobbers report increases in
their volume of business running
from 40 to so per cent; hardware
jobbers say increases are running
from 30 to so per cent, and drug
wholesalers report an increase of %
per cent for 1884 over 1888.
Department store sales this year
are 80 per cent of normal, gain Of
10 per cent over last year, and this
gain may be still greater when final
figures for the year are available.
New car registrations in Marion
County for the first ten months Of
1884 total 1898, against only $50
for the whole of 1888.
Rental collections are better and
the percentage of unoccupied dwell
ings in Indianapolis now is rs per
cent contraSted with about II per
cent year ago, according to in
formed real estate dealers.
The dollar volume of new build
ing permits 50 far in 1884 is S2,609,-
44O, compared with a total of 81 937,-
26O in 1888. The local Federal Hous-
ing Administration program is show
ing definite results and just is get
ting we'll under way 1t is not I'M
reasonable to suppose that in the
spring Of 1885 this program in its eX-
banded form will give a decided i'm
petus to the building trades and con-
struction industry.
LOadings Show Drop
Combined carloadings in and out
of Indianapolis show a decrease of
approximately 1000 cars for 1884,
compared with 1888. but this is un-
doubtedly accounted for by the fact
that loading of merchandise cars
carrying less than carload lots has
been done in a more efficient man
ner in 1884, thus carrying more
freight in less number of cars.
Carloadings for the nation are be-
tween a million and a half and two
million cars greater for the first
eleven months of 1884 than in 1888.
Employment figures for November,
1884 which are the latest available,
are slightly larger than in 1888. The
pay roll statement of so representa-
tive industries in indianapolis for
this year shows 23,165 persons en-
ployed, while for November, 1888,
the same so industries had 22,935
persons on their pay rolls.
The best available figures indicate
that of the 100000 employable per-
sons in indianapolis about $4,000,
or approximately 1875 per cent are
out of work today, while in 1888
about 25 per cent were unemployed.
This figure is definitely encourag-
ing, Mr.. BorinStein said.
