Brighter Prosperity Looms On Horizon !
For 1937-Few Clouds In Offing Flynn
War, Labor Unrest
And Credit Are
Chief Threats

threats ahead.
One Of these Is rising prices. These
are making themselves felt now IN
the commodity industries. They
win, II not checked, halt the whole
recovery movement and ultimately
send US into q reverse. But this
will not happen this year, though
1t may well slacken the pace Of re-
covery In the construction industry.
The other menace Is labor trou-
bles. II Is difiicult to believe that
there will not be a steel strike and,
perhaps, soft coal strike. This Will
be q titanic struggle II 1t develops
There may be trouble In the auto
mobile industry. Labor troubles Will
probably make their appearance In
other mass production industries.
This will be fostered by rising retail
prices, by the drive Of the @. !. o.
to organize the mass production In
dustries and the appearance u
skilled labor shortages.
These labor troubles ought not TO
halt the recovery movement, but
merely slow II UP. They will make
1t necessary for the government to
remain longer In the spending busi-
ness.
WAR IN EUROPE
APPEARS INEVITABLE
The third threat Is the fear OF
credit getting out Of control. This
may well happen in 1888 or later. 1t
may actually happen in 1887. but
the effect will be merely to slim
ulate business. The evil effects Will
not be noticeable until later.
Then, OF course, there Is the ever
present business Of war. It is dim
cult to see how war in Europe can
be much longer averted. Should 1t
come, 1T ought not to produce too
much upset here, provided business
and the government recognize Its
appearance and take the necessary
steps. One danger-the chief one.
Of course-is that 1t may stimulate
business here. and create q collec-
ton OF internal quarrels which will
afYlict our economy. But despite all
these clouds--War, labor, credit,
price-I do not think the recovery
movement in 1887 will be crushed.
The penalties of these things, II
they visit us, will come later than
1887.

Of Congressional action.
Bans Arms Exports
The present neutrality act Is a
compromise law under which the
president Is empowered TO declare
the existence Of a state OF war,
whereupon a ban on export Of arms,
ammunition, and implements OF
war" becomes automatically effec-
tive.
The secretary Of state, under II,
can warn American citizen that
they travel In war zones ut their

munitions under a license system.
Debate will center mostly on
proposals 10 put more mandatory

less 10 executive discretion, and
for q curb on exports other than

AIR TRANSPORT
INDUSTRY

At least one American industry has
grown from childhood to maturity
during the depression-com
air transport. An interesting survey
of this industry, which is assuming
increasing economic significance, ap-
pears in recent issue of the United
States News.
At the present time, air passenger
traffic in this country is about six
times as large as it was in 1929, and
the volume has doubled in the last
two years. Where less than 100000
passengers rode the airways in 1884,
almost $4,000 left terra firma in
1895. Estimates say that about
900, 900 people will board transports
this year. In 1926, when passenger
transport was inaugurated on few
scattered lines, only $500 people
bought tickets.
Startling fact is that while there
dIo ooIdUllolCu al oyoIChio III OH
modern countries, American airlines
carry more passengers than are car
ried in all the rest of the world com
bined, along with two-thirds of the
worlds total of air-borne mail and
express.
AS everyone knows, air transporta-
ton has grown cheaper through the
years-early rates were virtually
prohibitive. 1t has likewise grown
more comfortable, due to develop
ments in sound-proofing cabins, cut
ting motor vibration, making planes
more stable in wind currents, etc.
Speeds have been markedly increas-
ed-modern carriers average 200
miles an hour, where best lines in
1880 averaged little more than 100.
And travel has been made safer
last year, there was but one pas
senger fatality for every 24,O0O,OOO
passenger-miles covered.
According to the Department OF
Commerce, nearly half the population
of the country is now served by air
lines, and there are 100 companies
in operation with routes totaling a
little over $4,000 miles. This COW
erage is of course not comparable to
that offered by railroads and buses
but is gradually increasing.
In spite of the industry's greatly
increased volume of business, all has
not been CHEEKY in the matter OF
making profits. Most air-lines live
on mail contracts, can't pay expenses
on passenger business. Thus, the
Governments cancellation of all mail
contracts two years ago hit operators
hard. The contracts have been re-
sumed, but in many cases the rates
paid for mail carrying have been
slashed.

MOTORISTS OPPOSED TO FED
ERAL TAXATION

Calling for united action of mo-
torists in opposition to continued
Federal taxation of motor vehicles,
the keystone Automobile Club of
MARYLAND discloses that motorists of
Maryland last year paid out in Fed
eral taxes a total of $3,512,000 made
up of $2,12O,O00 in gas tax, $780,
900 in oil tax, $4,000 in specia'
taxes on motor cars and trucks and
S464, 900 in levies on parts, acces-
series, tires and tubes.
This burden of Federal taxation
is all the more irksome," said Garri-
son P. Knox, Manager of the Club,
when it is considered that these
taxes are not dedicated to highway
uses, but are collected for general
governmental purposes. Maryland
motorists paid the State in gasoline
taxes and motor vehicles fees more
than $12,30O,000 last year. With
the government levies added, the mo-
torist tax bill exceeded SIS, 100000.
The average tax per motor vehicle
in this State last year was $4,000,
according to figures obtained from
tht United States Bureau of Public
Roads and the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. Of this total, $10.17 pc.
vehicle represented the Federal gov
ernment's share.
aryland motorists consumed
2O4,85O,O0O gallons of gasoline in
1885, on which they paid State taxes
aggregating $S,27S,OOO. They also
paid the State $4,1OO,OO0 in registra-
ton and miscellaneous fees.
"These amounts" the Club official
concludes, "are high enough in all
conscience without the Federal gov
eminent soaking the motor vehicle
owner for additional taxes. Now is
the time for motorists to make
known to their representatives in
Congress, and to candidates for Con-
gress, their determined opposition to
continuance of Federal automotive
taxation"

"Taxes, little or great, are the
sweat of common folks" said the
Portland Oregonian in recent edi-
torial.
The common folks" are the great
taxpayers of this country-sooner or
later, directly or indirectly, they pay
almost all of the cost of government.
There aren't enough rich folks" tt
tax to make dent in the Federal,
state and local tax budgets.
Authoritative surveys have shown
that if government took ALL the net
income of persons in the higher in
come brackets, plus all the net in
come of American corporations,
revenue would still fall far short of
meeting outgo.

AMERICAN MERCURY APPEARS
IN POCKET SIZE

New York, Sept 25.-The increas-
ing tempo of modern American life
demands compact, handy, and con-
venient type of magazine, according
to the editors of The American Mer-
curry, who are publishing their Octo-
Der issue in a new pocket-size formal
and at the reduced price of twenty
five cents. The old-fashioned, leisure
ly, standard-size magazine of opin-
ion, they say, is doomed to disappear
from American newsstands, to be re-
placed by lively, up-to-the-minute,
and easily-read magazines. The first
issue of The Mercury, which appear
ed twelve years ago, was in itself a
revolution in the magazine field and
was later widely initiated. The edi-
tors now believe that they are taking
another revolutionary but necessary
step forward.
The tastes and reading habits of
Americans have been strikingly
changed by such magazines as Read
er's Digest and Time, according to
The Mercury No longer do readers
have the leisure to spend two or
three hours with a large magazine
containing thousands of words. They
demand literary entertainment in
terse, compact articles that
are brief yet comprehensive.
The decision to make a startling
change in The Mercury's formal and
price was reached after the extraor-
binary success of The American Mer-
curry Digest, a magazine issued ex-
perimentally by The Mercury. The
Digest, on its second appearance,
sold more newsstands copies than all
the Quality magazines combined. Its
immediate success clearly indicated
the desires of the reading public.
And it's price, twenty-five cents, was
established as the price Americans
approve for fine magazine.
Unique among American publica-
tons, The Mercury favors no politi-
cal party, and never advances pana-
ceas to cure the ills of humanity. 1t
is devoted solely to discovering the
truth about important questions of
the day and to presenting the truth
through the writings of leading
authors. The Mercury does believe
in America and the American system
of government and life. At a time
when attacks ON Americanism are
coming from every quarter, the mag
azine has been outstanding in its de-
tense of national traditions. 1t is
read by members of the Supreme
Court, Senators, Representatives,
Governors, Statesmen, and important
and influential people in every walk
of life.

ers ever to gather in Baltimore is
expected to attend the annual pa
irons meeting of the Southern States
Cooperative which will be held in
Baltimore for the first time this year.
The date has been announced by
General Manager w. G. Wysor for

than thousand farmers are ex-
pected.
Interest and attendance of Mary
year because of the combination, last
July, of the Southern States Co
operative with the Agricultural Cor
poration of Maryland, an affiliated
cooperative of the Maryland Farm
Bureau, according to H. H. Nuttle of
Denton, president of the latter or
CARNATIONS. Farmers in the vicinity
of eleven cooperative store points
and more than hundred distribu-
ton points in Maryland are directly
interested in the cooperative pur-
chasing and manufacturing program
of the organizations, according to
Mr.. Nuttle.
The Southern States Cooperative
is a regional organization covering
Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West
Virginia, and North Carolina, and
farmers from all of those states ar
expected to attend the Baltimore
meeting. The organization, which is
handling six million dollar annual
volume in the manufacture and dis
tribution of farm supplies has feed
and fertilizer factories in Baltimore,
Roanoke, and Newport News. Head
quarters of the organization are in
Richmond, Virginia.
Program of the meeting has not
been completed, according to Mr..

POULTRYMEN OF STATE LOSE
MUCH MONEY

Many thousands of dollars annual
ly are sent out of the state for the
purchase of Matching eggs and baby
chicks when this same money could
just as well be paid to Maryland
hatcherymen, flock owners and
breeders if they would improve the
quality of their product and produce
to meet local demand, according to
DR.. M. A. JUL, Head of the Poultry
Department of the University of
Maryland.
He points out that there are ample
flocks owners and breeders in the
state to supply all hatchery require
ments but there is need for improve
ment in the quality of the breeding
fiocks. He advises that more flock
owners Gull their flocks carefully,
have them tested for pullorum dis
ease, mate them to good males, i'm
prove the sanitation of the poultry
premises, and give increased care to
the selection of Matching eggs.
