arabic From Local Welfare

From the business standpoint,
the year 1887 can be compared
to the year 1929. During the first
half, industrial production rose
with pleasing steadiness-as it did
in 1923. Security prices moved
gradually upward, with no inn
portant set-backs- The bad signs
were far outWeighed by the good
signs, and It seemed a certainty
that the recovery movement
would go ahead without impedi-
ment- Then, early in the second
half of the year, Industrial pro-
duction started TO fall off slightly
again, as it did in mid-1929.
And in October, the values of Sc
curities took the fastest drop In
American history. with shares as
whole depreciating approx
mately 45 percent in a period Of
a few weeks. Thereafter, the
business induces started on a swift
decline which wiped out most of
the progress that had been made
since 1884. In many lines the last
week of the year was the worst.
in spite of a generally good
Christmas retail trade.
The financial periodicals have
all published their traditional
annual review and forecast" is
sues. General tenor is expressed
by Business Week. when 1t says:
the year 1888 opens on a low
note, but chances are better than
fair that it will end on a sub
stantially higher one. The Wall
Street Journal hopes that '.the in
fluence of mental attitudes on the
volume of business transactions
has. reached its maximum
and states that probabilities are
that the present business depres-
sion viii not last far into 1888.
Individual prognosticators, such
as Ayres and Babson, seem gen.
orally convinced that this depres-
sion will be shortlived- There are
a few who feel that it is destined
to turn into another major depres-
sion unless a drastic reversal Of
many present policies occurs,
which is unlikely. Some of the
most cleaTsighted of the experts
belong in the group which see the
future as being far from bright.
To get down to actual facts, the
statistics are not favorable. Dur
ing 1896 and 1887, the automobile
industry probably did more than
any other TO provide employment,
purchasing power and to stimu-
late industrial activity in general
Il was expected that this industry
would have another big year in
1893. But that hope. IN all prob
ability, viii not materialize- The
used-car problem has become
acute; dealers inventories are at
excessive levels As a result, new
car sales have undergone an ex-
ceedingly sharp drop. This IS re-

pounding at the back door. She
glanced at the clock on the dresser.
Five-thirty. Who in the world was

She ieaped out Of bed and flung

70 communicate with her. She
wrote TO a number Of boys IN his
classes in the hope that one Of
them might know his where

nothing.
She didn't tel any one in the
family about the situation. for she
knew she could expect little OF no

do no more than she was doing.
Too. she feared that Stan or

THE LOW DOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE
Observation-Disclosures


Here lately, it seems like a good
many folks figure that If some
body has something like 10 dol
lars or Is dollars or maybe a full
sack OF flour ahead, that they
kind of need watchin'-and are
maybe not the best type of per-
son. And this idea. it got started,
because. somebody got himself
elected by hoppin' onto anybody
with two-bits, and It looked easy,
so more fellers have been tryln
II
But if We did not have some
folks who figure on a rainy day,
we would not have any savings
banks, or life insurance. or rail-
roads. or much of anything.
And you take the railroads. If is
different from what it was 100
years ago. when if you wanted to
90 from Cincinnati to Salt Lake.
you could walk, or ride horse.
And It would take you 6 or 3
months. and at 100 dollars per
month, it would cost 600 or 800
dollars, and also use up a good
horse, to boot
And our grandfather, who went
west, with a musket on his shout
der. he would not be findin' fault
with the railroads, and every
thing-he would be givin' 3
cheers.

other member of the Big Three,
Ford, does not issue figures. but
it IS believed that a similar condi-
ton exists IN this company.
The steel industry closed the
year at the lowest rate of produc-
ton since September, 1884. How
ever. there IS an encouraging fac
tor here-a steady rise IN the
markets for steel scrap, plus
stable prices, leads to the belief
that consumption of the basic
metal is running strongly ahead
OF production.
Declining income on the part
of the railroads has also been a
major depression influence. The
industry has reduced its purchas-
ing to the bare necessity point.
Business, IN general, hopes that
the ICC viii permit the request
ed increase IN freight rates, IN or
der that railway purchasing and
employment may be raised
A less specific, but highly i'm
portant factor is the continuing
war between the Roosevelt Adj
miniStration and business. The
recent speeches of IckeS and
Jackson added fuel to the fires of
investor peSSimiSm. However. the
Presidents two latest addresses
to Congress and at the Jackson
Day dinner, while far from reas-
surfing to business, were milder
than many expected. 1t Is the
general opinion that Mr.. Roose-
welt is marking time and testing
the state of the political weather
through the acts and talks of his
underlings, and that he has not
made up his mind which way to
turn. There is still a chance that
he may steer the New Deal IN a
somewhat more conservative di
Tection-
On the favorable side, the signs
are largely psychological All the
financial magazines lay heavy
stress on the apparently growing
congressional sentiment in favor
of cooperation with business and
the alienation or repeal of laws
which business feels are hamper
ing. The labor situation seems a
little better than it was a few
months ago-in a time of declin-
ing production, labor tends 10
temper its demand on manage
ment and there is less sympathy
among the rank and file in favor
of radical action There viii be
much less talk about higher wages
and shorter hours until the de-
preston is ended.
The price situation has both its
favorable and unfavorable side.
The price decline continues, IN
spite Of the efforts of some indus
tries TO hold prices TO '.prosperity"
levels. This tends 20 spur buying.
On the other hand, a severe price
break would make additional cuts
IN industrial earnings. and so ex-
ert a further unfavorable influ-
ence on activity.
Job insurance, now IN effect IN
half the States, viii help to re-
duce the loss of purchasing power
resulting from increasing Unem-
ployment.
