WPA Correspondence
Offers Opportunities

An opportunity for correspondence
study in wide range of subjects is
offered by the Division of Educa-
ton, Works Progress Administration
to those who wish to broaden their
education or improve their leisure
time.
These courses have been super
vised by professors of the University
of Washington, and are on the Col
lege Level. Courses are offered in
agriculture, business administration
and economics, education, history,
home economics, horticulture, poll
tical science, sociology, and religion,
total of more than 125 courses.
College credit is granted upon sat-
isfactory completion of the courses
selected and matriculation in one
of the several colleges of the state.
There is no fee and the only costs
are those of text books and postage.

er in the face, are more OF these IN
creases, adding:
along with the higher wage
rates, farmers apparently will have
to pay somewhat higher prices for
farm machinery, automobiles. build
ing materials, equipment and sup
plies. On the other hand the prices
of feed and seed will be substan-
TALLY lower next spring than a year
earlier"
The department did not 60 into
detail in explaining these increases
in production costs and increases in
prices for things the farmer buys.
It should have given facts and fig
ures on these for they are basic and
the picture is incomplete without
them. Everyone knows of course
that farm labor wants more money
for its work and has been getting
more in the last two or three years.
Department of Labor statistics show
this and they show as well how
much additional labor is receiving
in its pay checks from industry. The
automobile industry which has been
organized by John L. Lewis and
his CLIO. labor group has been fore
ed to pay much higher wages and
naturally those wages have been
added into the cost of the automo-
bile which any one buys.
The automobile industry was only
an illustration. The same is true
all along the line.
The truth of the matter is that
federal taxes which have geen con-
ceived by the Presidents brain trust
professors and applied without stint
or limit to industry are. upSetting
the whole agricultural as well as the
whole business structure of the
country. The load of taxes togeth-
er with lot of queer-looking and
cock-eyed regulations have continu-
ally increased the cost of production
of every thing from black-eyed peas
to locomotives. It follows always
that the balance between supply and
demand is upset Notwithstanding
the conviction that some men have
of their ability to amend the law Of
supply and demand.

Business Outlook

The Department of Agriculture is
quite pessimistic about the business
outlook for next year. In a series
of reports, analyzing general condi-
tions, which the department issued
the other day, it made no effort to
conceal it's belief that there is some
thing wrong in the business situa-
ton far beyond the recent violent
decline in the quotations of the
stock markets.
These reports and conclusions
take on considerably more weight
when it is recalled that several
other agencies of the government,
notably Secretary Roper Of the De-
partment of Commerce, have sought
vainly to make it appear that bus
mess is good" At the same time
think attention ought to be drawn
to the fact that Secretary Wallace
of the Department of Agriculture is
striving to have congress pass legis-
lation to aid the farmer. It is just
possible that he thinks his object
ives can be achieved more easily If
the congressman are made to believe
that general business and agricul-
ture are taking real tailspin. That
is the politics of the situation but
business reports spread on the pages
of newspapers seem to show that a
h n e1,,,r,vn Eac a had
Recently, I wrote in these col
umnS how business was as spotted as
a leopard; that some firms were
making more money than ever be-
fore and how some others were get
ting by only because the volume
was large and faced difficulties If
the volume declined. The Agricul-
ture Department statements, based
now on facts and figures, show even
a worse picture than I described
several months ago. They indicate
strongly that 1888 is to be consider
ably lower in the level of business
than 1887 and that spells trouble.
For example the agriculture state
ment predicts that there will be q
"less favorable demand for farm
products" In 1888 than in 1897. The
home domestic demands are down
and appear likely to stay down,
and the export market holds no
hope for an increase. Emphasizing |
the dependence Of consumption de-
mand upon general business condi-
tons, the department statement ex-
planned there was no certainty as to
the length of time the present slump
will continue. It added that pros
poets are against sufficiently ear
" and vigorous rise In 1898 to bring |
the average Of industrial activity
and of consumer incomes up to that
Of 1897"
Picture Made Worse

farmer, the picture is made worse
