The world of politicians has its
eye on Bangor, Maine, next Tues

committee meets to try to keep the
Pine Tree State in the G. o. P.
column, and listen to the new Re
publican Senator Henry Styles
Bridges of New Hampshire, who
will be the keynoter for the drive.
Maine primaries will be held
June 20; the election comes in Sep

Recently Postmaster General
Farley revised that to read, LAS
Maine goes so goes Vermont" and
jocular Republicans in Washing
ton now refer to Maine and Yer.
mont as "the holy land"
Maine seems more likely to have
a Democratic Governor than to
lose any of the three Republican
Representatives. according to pres.
ent indications. Governor B r.
rows. a7Republican, has had some
hard political Shedding, so they
say, and may be defeated.
The three Representatives,
MeSsrs. Oliver, Smith and Brew.
Ster, are credited with enough
strength to be renominated and
reelected.
No Senators are to be elected in
Maine this time.
Always in Maine both parties
put up spectacular struggle in
the preliminaries in the primaries
and in the election. The slogan
describes as the national political
weather zone is by no means
sure-fire truth, but it is a power

Representative Dirksen R.) of

Although opposing American in

He pointed to reports that Japan
may purchase the output of the
foreign oil interests appropriated
by the Mexican government and
other evidences of japanese influ-

Without disclosing the source
OF information, it appears that
japanese capital is now finan-
cling the building of surfaced
roads in Mexico and that jap
anese are actually in charge of
the work." said Dirksen. ''Thus
is Mexico placed in debt to ia
pan and through this leverage
Japan is flooding Mexico with
JapaneSe-made goods.
1T also appears that Japanese
industrialiStS have made a three
year contract with Senior Rodri-
guez, the former president of
Mexico, to take the entire out
put of fish from the industries
controlled by him. and that con.
ceSsions have been made to the

Kidnapping

RICHMOND, Va, March %
Q.N.S).-A novel law, aimed at
Kidnapping, went into effect in
this State today.
It provides fines ranging from
$50 to $4,000, or jail terms from
one month to a year for persons
who pay ransom to kidnapers.
The same penalty is imposed
upon any person who fails to re-
port to the police the existence
of notes or letters demanding
ransom.
In KIDNAPPING cases. the law
stipulates that the members Of
the family Immediately notify the
police, provide complete informa-
ton and give full assistance.
The legislature passed the law
to serve notice to all >would-be kid
napers that Virginia is not a prof.
liable locale for their heinous
crime. The law is said to be the
first of its kind passed by any
State.

This inner clique of thought
has gained many adherents
during the. last six months,
mostly during the last so days.
TNHE other milder school Of

the weeping and wailing in

to much that has not. They
say the short, sharp decline

The following chart, contain

You will note it shows indus
trial production has been vir-
tually stable during the past
three months after four pre-

So has factory employment,

tomorrow's business. Technical
situations in particular markets
may help or hurt.
The psychology of a business
world beaten and bruised in the
wars of politics by bitter words
and heavy taxation also has
great cumulative influence. But
the number Of dollars in the
national pocketbook is what
may make or break the i'm
portance of technical and psy-
Geological situations.
Il you will look at a second
Government monthly chart on
income, you will find some fur
ther evidence to bolster the be-
lief that economic forces may
be starting to right themselves.
These figures show all income
has continued to shrink lately,
but only farm income has
dropped sharply. AS the farm
bill was recently passed contain
ing just about every method
known to the mind of man for
bolstering farm prices, this sit
uation is not expected to con-
tinue.
ID UT THE most encouraging
ID thing about these figures is
the indication that wholesale
prices have ceased to decline
sharply. During the last five
months of 1887 prices dropped
over s points. During the last
three months the decline was
only about 2 points, most of it in
the first month.

Note-The total income fig
ure is the new one devised by
Robert Nathan, of the Com
merce Department, containing
monthly estimates of all pay
ments on wages, dividends,
farm, WPA, etc.
DUT both charts together, as
I the Government economists
have, and you will find purchas-
ing power has not declined any
thing like production. Total in
come payments dropped less
than 10 per cent since last fall.
Department store sales are also
off less than 80 per cent, but
industrial production is down
about 80 1-3 per cent.
The implication Of this COM
parison is clear. It means the
accum u / alton of inventories
spurred the deep drop in pro-
duction. It also means inven-
tories should now be decreasing,
which in turn would force pro-
duction up.
In times of declining prices,
m er C h "a MT S, distributors and
even manufacturers suffer large
losses on inventories they have
accumulated at higher prices.
But with prices now Ieveling off,
too, all these economic factors
seem to point to stability-or

dismal picture than the mar
keters and the Spenders have
been making out of the current
