j. S. REVIVAL
IN BUSINESS

Roger w. Babson, lnterna-
tionally known economist and
business sta tistican, who is visit
in Phoenix, in an address before
a large audience at a luncheon
giving in his honor at the Hotel
Westward Ho, Tuesday, said.
IL is an historical fact that
every depression or red area"
has been followed by a compen-
satory era OF prosperity which
is now at hand
The low point in the nations
business, be said, was reached
in March, 1888, when the Bah
son chart showed 40 per cent
below the normal line.
"We are nov in the process
Of developing the black area TO
compensate for the red. The
low point was reached in March,
1888, when business dropped TO
40 per cent below the normal
line Today il has increased to
only is per cent below. The red
area should be completed by the
end OF this year, and then we
should start to develop the black
area. How long il will last, /,
however, we cannot predict to-
day.
Illustrating the improvement
which has been made il the fact
that automobile production to-
day Is up i9s.Per cent, bitumi-
nous coal production. 35 per
cent; anthracite coal, 90 per
cent; cotton consumption, 40
per cent; carloadings, 20 per
cent and electric power gener-
ated, Is per cent
"The stock market is up about
$50 per cent from its extreme
low OF 1882. The value OF all
stocks listed on the New York
exchange has increased from
the low figure OF Sll, 200, 900, 900
to S35, 900. 900, 900. Statistics
show clearly that the red area
is working out and that we are
starting into the black"

COOPERAT|VES
AID CONSUMERS

There is one phase of the az
ricultural cooperative move
ment that has receive less no
tice than IL deserves the effect
the eo-ops have on the consum-
er.
Those who believe that the
aim OF cooperative marketing
IS to force prices sky high, arc
mistaken. IL seeks TO bring the
farmer a fair share Of the final
selling price OF his products IL
does not seek Ia sting the un-
protected consumer Good CO.
operatives have been OF great
service 10 the consuming public,
The leading dairy coopera-
tives present a fine example oi
this They have standardized
the quality OF milk, so that the
buyer may be sure OF getting
just what he wants They have
perfected marketing and dis
tribution machinery so that
dairy products take the least
possible time in going from the
farm TO the retailer. They have
been instrumental in preventing
destructive price fluctuations,
whereby the consumer paid less
than a product was worth one
day and more the next-and
everyone involved suffered in
the long run. They have con-
scieutiously worked to give the
public a better product at a iair
price.
Sound agricultural coopera-
tives perform an essential and
valuable service both to their
members and to the public al
large. They are receiving In
telligent support from members
and the people, where they un.
derstand the cooperative ideal

A STATE CAN LIVE
WITHIN ITS INCOME

Nebraska is advertised as be-
ing debtless state today; as a
commonwealth where the law
prohibits pledging the states
credit for more than 500. 900;
and also state which has rid.
den through war and peace,
drouth and plenty, without is
suing q dollars worth OF bonds.
Il built $4,000. 900 state
capitol over period OF twelve
years out OF its annual tax levy.
Its roads are paid for by a
four.cent gasoline tax and mo-
tor vehicle license fees, plus the
usual Federal aid.
Nebraska $ government, aside
from road building. is supported
by a general property tax and
It has no income or sales tax.
These facts seem TO prove
that a great state can be oper-
ated on a business basis and
stay within its income.
Nebraska should be an object
lesson for every state in the
union, many OF which are stag
gering today under bond issues
TO pay for political experiments
and ineffciency which the COM
ing generations will struggle TO
pay If they are ever wiped
out. The tax payers should
rise up in arms, as IL were,
against every proposal that is
made to further burden the
people with taxes.
The lawmaker today who
suggests tax increases as way
to meet state problems. is in
most cases simply showing his
inability as q business man to
balance the public's business
budget.

THE FALLACY OF DISTRIB-
UTING FREE MONEY

The American public has
come to look on the Fedora
government as a financial Santa
Clause, which goes on forever
distributing the bounty of Free
money" for one purpose or an
other. One of the proudest
boasts of many elected officials
is that they have been able to
get this appropriation or that
for their state.
Current plans call for an ex-
penditure of some 100000,
900 for public works by the
Federal government. Much Of
this great sum will be distrlbut-
ed to the states, to spend for
roads. relief, dams, buildings or
some other public purpose.
When the money has been
spent, citizens will look at the
imposing courthouse or high
way or whatever it created and
think happily that it cost them
nothing--that magical forces at
play in Washington produce the
money out OF the air and kindly
passed it on
Well, that 5000, 900, 900 will
be raised through the sale oi
Federal bonds. These bonds
amount TO a mortgage on every
piece OF property in the nation
every home, farm, factory or in
vestment. If the S. 900, 600, ,00C
is divided by the number oI
Congressional districts in the
country, the share for each dis
tnct amounts to about So, ,00O,-
900. Every nickle of that mon
ey must be paid back by the
American people through tax
ation---and they must pay il
addition, many hundreds oi
millions more in interest on the
government bonds. Probably
few Congressional district:
would burden themselves with
a $l2, 10000 bond issue if il
were proposed to vote such
debt against the district.
Unhappily, there is no suct
thing as a financial Santa Claus
the tax money put in our stock
ings is taken out OF our pocket,
books---plus interest.

GOLDEN DAYS OF
'49 TO LIVE AGAIN
At THE EXPOSITION

San Diego. Calf Feb. Dist
Memories OF that eventful day
when James Marshall picked up
the gold nugget at General Sut-
ters millrace near Sacram nto
and fixed the eyes of the whole
world upon California. viii be
evoked at the California Pacific
international Exposition at San
Diego, where Goldon Gulch, an
exact replica OF a 40 gold camp
will form one OF the principal
attractions Of Americas Expo
sition-l935.
In a deep. twisting guleh bur
led beneath a verdant canopy
OF trees, shacks OF sourdoughs
made from actual timbers Of the
gold rush days. will present a
realistic picture OF that coloriul
era when the names OF Jimtown,
Hangtown. Whisky Flat and
Mokolum Hill were on the lips
Of every sdventurer from
China 10 Cairo. and from Spitz-
bergen TO Cape Horn
So faithful will this reproduc-
ton be to the originals that the
visitor, walking the paths OF
Golden Gulch. will imagine him
self transported back to the
days Of 40, when the name
"California" Feyerberated thru
out the world.
An old, wooden dccr. warped
by the winds and rains OF more
than four score years. Will add a
note Of authenticity to the scene,
while the ever present Chinese
laundry, iron barred bank,
blacksmith shop and hitching
posts will line the streets of the
camp.
Throughout the length OF
Golden Gulch will be found
men and machines performing
the tasks common TO the ka-
leidoscopic era when the cry OF
"Goldl" was enough to bring
men from the hearthhres Of far
off London and the distant
steppes of Siberia.
A further note OF realism will
be lent 10 the occasion by the
stage coaches and the burros
which viii form the only ingress
TO the camp.

PROTECT YOUR NEWS
PAPER FILES AS RECORDS

In spite Of the great value of
newspaper files, as records,
there is often less attention paid
to protecting them that to rec
ords of other sorts. 1t is ex-
ceptional, rather than the Gus
tom, to keep the files under
lock and key, and more excep-
tional to find them in freproof
vaults. Where the publisher is
not in a position to provide this
protection, it should be the con-
Germ of the community to do so.
Should the files be destroyed
it would take a lot of digging
to supply the local history
which they contain. Now and
then an old resident keeps a
complete file, but in many cases
the only one extant is the one
kept in the newspaper Office.
So the en1 of one year and
the beginning of another should
be reminder to the publisher
to make sure that he has a COM
plete file of his newspaper, that
it is properly bound an / that it
it is stored in a safe place. .-Ex.
