HIGH PAY BUT LITTLE SAVED

Some weeks ago we read an article
by an actor in Hollywood who explained
that his $4,000 a week salary went largely
to the peculiar expenses connected with
keeping up front at the movie capital
and that therefore he had decided that the
stress and strain was too much for the
balance left in his bank account.
This comes To mind when We read a
dispatch from Los Angeles. saying that

You and Your

Illusion or Real Recovery
By ]. E. LIE ROSSICNOL

die, for by the year Of deepest de-
preston, 1882, our national income
had fallen to about $4,000. 900. 900. or
half of what it was before the crash.
Yet it may console you to know that
this terrific drop in money income
was due chiefly to fall in commodity
prices of about As per cent so that
our real income of goods and services
may not have fallen more than 10 or
Is per cent. Can you believe that.
Sandie? Possibly not. But you may
remember that you were not deprived
of many bones even in the depths of
the depression. No. And people who
had jobs at fixed salaries were better
off than ever before. Yes. and those
who had sustained cuts of 10 to 20
per cent were not badly off unless they
were in debt. But the millions of I'M
employed suffered terribly, and great
numbers of business people, too,
whose profits were wiped out. Glad
we had job. Sandie, and no call to
strike.
LET us now look at the national in
come for last year and our prospects
for the year of grace, 1887. Our statis-
ticians say that last years income was
about 500, 000, 100000. and that this
years will probably amount to S70,-
000,000000 or $50. coo, 100000, being an
increase of rs or so per cent over the
national income of 1882. Gratifying.
is it not, Sandie? rs
But when we remember that in the
same time commodity prices have in
creased almost. if not quite, as much,
we wonder whether our real national
income of goods and services is much
greater than it was in 1882. or much
less than In 1929. Meanwhile, our pop
ulation has increased by FIVE or six
millions and there are still many mill
lion would-be workers unemployed.
"Whereat | wonder again, Sandie.
whether we are seeing real recovery
or an illusion of monetary imitation,
and whether anything is interfering
with the recuperative power of capt.
talism. Think it over. Sandie Nc
Graw."

ITO be sure, our social order, mis-
called capitalism, has had a body
blow and has been in a bad way
during the past seven lean years. and
yet it has shown extraordinary vital
ity and recuperative power, notwith-

social doctors and engineers to set it
on its feet again. You know, Sandie,
we must give them credit for good

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

Eads Johnson, well known build
Ell OF electrical driven designer
and builder of a number of fer
ries now being operated in New
York waters, is in Key West to
discuss with county commissioners
the matter of constructing ferries
to ply over the water gaps on the
Overseas Highway. Mr.. Johnson
reached the city yesterday after
noon and went into discussion
with the county commissioners at
a special session of the board
yesterday afternoon directly after
his arrival He covered, in large
measure, the facts recently set out
in a letter to Chairman j. Otto
Kirchheiner. He showed that four
ferries could be built especially
for these waters, each carrying 80
cars, could be built for not more
than 100000 each. By this
method, Mr.. Johnson pointed out,
there could be arranged a sched-
ule whereby a ferry could leave
each end of the gap every two
hours, He said that even rough
weather would not interrupt the
schedule. 1t was the sense of the
meeting that the matter was too
big to so into without mature de-
liberation. For this reason the
matter is being carried over and
Mr.. Johnson will spend the day
securing further data on the
proposition.

BUSINESS IN
STATE HOLDS
ITS ADVANCES

O. G.. Horne, vice president ano
manager, El Centro branch, Sc
curity-First National Bank, states
that business activity in Southern
California during January was sus-
tanned near the new recovery leyel
attained in December, according
to the February l monthly sum-
mary Just released by the banks
research department. The January
showing is described as a credita-
bic record in view of the substan-
tial upswing which occurred IN
December.
Commenting on the general sit
uation. the banks review asserts
that perhaps the best business de-
velopment of the month was set
tlement of the coastwise maritime
strike. Although the strike has
crippled southern California less
than other sections of the Pacific
coast. the resumption of water
commerce should be of practica.
benefit to most lines of business
activity by restoring employment,
lowering costs, freeing strike-bound
shipments and making available
lumber and other needed materi-
ais.
The severe freeze which DAM
aged citrus, avocados and yegeta-
bic during January is not eX-
pected to result in any major re-
duction in the aggregate income
from agriculture in California this
year, contrary to earlier reports.
Due to the compensating influ-
ence Of higher prices the total
income may not be as low as the
crop loss data indicate. The un-
fortunate aspect of the situation
is the maldistribution of income
among growers.
1t was pointed out that the larg-
est income ever obtained from the
sale of citrus fruit, S134.000,000
was received in 1880 for less than
10000 cars. The current crop is
placed at approximately 10000
cars.
Indicative of a healthy manu-
featuring situation, industrial en-
ployment in Los Angeles county
increased over 16 per cent in 1886,
according to official figures. The
excellence of this showing is re-
vealed in comparison with State
and national employment which
gained IL and 10 per cent, respec-
lively.
The local performance Is cred
tied to the substantial industrial
growth, in addition to business re-

and vicinity during the past year.
