automobile manufacturers, were
more confident. The Roosevelt gov

The next day, Roosevelt took a
hand in another strikebreaking
venture. He wired the Pacific Coast

McGrady, former A. F. of L. official,
met with the A. F. of L. leaders to
work out further methods of keep
ing back the strike indefinitely.
General johnson, as the spokes-
man for Roosevelt, made no pre-
lenses whatever. He spoke in the
voice of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce. The New
York Times reported his conference
with William Green and William
Collins as follows:
ut was indicated that in appar-

employers and taking stand
against an election among the en-
polyes to determine spokesman for
collective bargaining, the admin

out how stubborn the unions were

His feeling" touched the right

NEW YORK.-Complete ap-
proval of Roosevelt's inflationary
policies of credit expansion, cheap
ened money through devaluation,
and the purchase of government
bonds by the Federal Reserve banks
was expressed here yesterday by
Leffingwell, leading part
ner of the Wall st. bankers, j. P.
Morgan, before meeting of the
Academy of Political Science.
81 am intellectually in favor
of the general policy of monetary
reconstruction which the President
has pursued"
Leffingwell continued the same
policy of approving actual initiation
while pretending to oppose it in
principle that chsracterizes Roose-
velt's monetary policy. While stat
ing himself as opposed to the prin-
ciple of uncontrolled initiation. -
Leffingwell urged cheap money to
raise prices lin order to restore
profit to business, a policy which is
none other than initiation.
Toward Further Initiation
Professor Warren, Roosevelt's fin
aneial adviser, also spoke at the
same meeting urging that it was
urgent for American capitalism to
keep domestic prices rising even at
the risk Of upsetting international
financial stability.
The moves toward further infla-
ton are becoming more open as the
effects of the recent dollar devalua-
ton to SO cents are beginning to
wear off. 1t has been intimated
that the Roosevelt government will

WHY SOME ROAD JOBS EMPLOY MORE
 LABORERS.

Two highways under construction may work ing directly at the site of the work very different numbers of Yet the job that shows the smaller amount of direct employment which in most cases is a high type of road, may be furnishing more work to labor indirectly than the other job.
 For example, road which the surfacing is of local material with relatively large amount of earth grading at the site of the road building operation than road on which the surfacing is of materials prepared in factories quarries, or cement mills at other points. But the total of employ ment of labor for each of the two roads may be practically the
 This evident fact emphasized in the results of study made by the United States Bureau of Public Roads to determine the amount of money that went to labor employed highways. It was determined that for a concrete road about 30 or 90 per cent of the money ultimately is paid out as salaries and wages, but only about seventh, or approximately Is per cent paid to those employed the site of the pavement construction.
 Further analysis showed that for a concrete road about third is paid to producers of materials another third is paid to railroads and other transportation agencies for the collection and delivery of these materials, and part of the re- maining cost goes to producers of equipment Labor in turn is employed in the production of materials, in transportation, and in the manufacture of equipment.

 Frank chopped and stripped of their thorns bales of long leaved cactus. Janice pounded and soaked them in water. and put the fiber in the sun to dry. They would have plenty of rope for their varied ex- periments to win to safety. He col lected timbers of driftwood and split them to make a frame for his raft. and poles and rungs for lad ders.

CALLS SALES TAX BACKWARD STEP

The sales tax is termed an unnecessary ana backward step in taxation in report just mace public by the Columbia University following upon a nationwide investigation by staff of Columbia economists
 "On the whole, experience with this form of taxation to date offers little support to those who contend that the sales tax should form permanent element in a State tax system" said the report written by Professor Carl Shoup, of the School Of Business.
 The investigation was financed by the Rockefeller Foundation and directed by Robert Murray Haig, McVckar Professor of Political Economy. The study embraced 27 States, of which IS have sales taxes.
 As prelude to his report, Professor shoup said that he entered the study with "an unfaVorabie opinion" of the sales tax and that the results of the investigation caused him to favor it "even less than before"
 The report said that in actual operation the tax yielded results quite different from those antici- pated
 An excerpt of the report said
 Some of the difficulties predicted, such
 as large expenses to taxpayers in complying
 with the law have failed to develop in
 practice and the preconceived notions held
 by some such that the merchants can
 shift the tax completely to the consumers,
 are revealed as i'll founded

The small merchant, it was found has difficulty in passing on the tax than the large
 Georgia merchants pass oil virtually no part Of the tax, the report said and Pennsylvania mer- chants very little The per cent rate in Michigan and North Carolina appeared to have been high enough to force shifting in most instances
 As to yield the report said revenue had not proved markedly disappointing but compared to total State and local revenues from the property tax, the sales tax yield is still a minor item even in those States with high rates extensive taxes"

It's Big Possibilities.
(Portland Journal.)

Plans for construction of a highway from Alaska through British Columbia to the United States has received new impetus through the suggestion that the project be undertaken as an item of the emer- fency work program.
 Actual start of operations depends largely upon the Canadian Government, and upon the British Columbia authorities, upon whom would deVolve costs of $12O00,00O against only $2,O00,000 for the Alaskan section. Some progress toward reaiza- ton of the plan has been made in tentative agreement between highway officials in the area concerned, to give preference to new road con- struction that shall conform to the proposed route
 More than 1000 miles of road of which 970 is gravel-surfaced, is already available About 1183 miles additional must be built to complete the high way which would traverse terrain rich in gold, silver copper and lead and a territory rich in furs and other resources of scenic beauty to attract large tourist traffic. and abounding in big game to lure sportsmen
 The project has great possibilities.
