Stages Record Recovery

Cape May N. County officials

match the recovery figures of this
typically agricultural and fishing
community. Three years ago $500
jobless were costing $4,000 per
month for relief. At the end of last
year there were only 443 residents
on relief, at a cost of less than &c.
600 monthly. Of municipalities,

PAYING THE PASTOR

we do not bel1eVe there is q COM
munity in the state Boosting more
conscientious ministers than will be
found occupying the pulpits of
Kennewick and surrounding terri
tory, and we feel sure church-goers
who are expected to support these
pastors too often overlook the fact
that they are among the poorest
paid men in America.
This statement is made after hav-
ing read that recent survey shows
that 60 percent of the ministers Of
the gospels are receiving less than
is earned by the average day-labor-
er or farm hand. OF the other 40
percent it would probably be safe
to presume that one-half of them
break even with common laborers
as to wages. That would leave but
20 percent of them earning more
than we pay men who do not have
to spend years in study and prepa-
ration for their life work.
Every resident of this community
is invited to give this subject some
serious study. Isn't something
wrong with a country that pays
more for having its bitches dug
than for having the souls of its peo-
pie saved? Or that rewards q man
who knows only enough to guide g
pillow as literally as it rewards those
who guide the nation in the straight
and narrow path, and who point the
way to higher, better and nobler lv-
ing? Think 1t over and then ash

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS

CTOIu Tie OuSlIloSS SCauOpO1uC, The
year 1887 can be compared to the
year 1929. During the first half, in
duStrial production rose with pleas
ing steadiness- it did in 1929.
Security prices moved gradually up
ward, with no important setbackS.
The bad signs were far outweighed
by the good signs, and it seemed q
certainty that the recovery move
ment would go ahead without i'm
pediment. Then, early in the Sec
ond 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 securities
took the fastest drop in American
history, with shares as a whole de-
preciating approximately As percent
in a period of a few weeks. There
after, the business indices started
on 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 generally good Christ
mas retail trade.
The financial periodicals have all
published their traditional annual
review and forecast" issues. Gen.
eral tenor is expressed by Business
Week, when it says: 1.-THE year 1888
opens on a low note, but chances are
better than fair that it will end on
a substantially higher one" The
Wall Street Journal hopes that "the
influence of mental attitudes on the
volume of business transactions has
/. reached its maximum" and
states that probabilities are that
the present business depression will
not last far into 1885," Individual
prognosticators, such as Ayers and
Babson, seem generally convinced
that this depression will be Short
lived. There are a few who feel
that it is destined to turn into an
other major depression unless a
drastic reversal of many present
policies occurs, which is unlikely.
Some of the most clearsighted of
the experts belong in the group
which sees the future as being far
from bright.
To get down to actual facts, the
statistics are not favorable. During
1886 and 1897, the automobile in
dustry probably did more than any
other to provide employment, pur-
chasing power and to stimulate in
dustrial activity in general. It was
expected that this industry would
have another big year in 1893. But
that hope, in all probability. will
not materialize. The used-car prob
lem has become acute; dealers in
ventories are at excessive levels. AS
a result, new car sales have under
gone an exceedingly sharp drop.
This is reflected in curtailment of
production by the industry, with
lay-offs of labor and plants working
on part-week basis. Both Gener-
al Motors and Chrysler, which is
sue figures, recently cut production
and payrolls heavily. The other
member of the Big Three, Ford,
does not issue figures, but it is be-
lieved that a similar condition exists
in this company.
