FoIse Economy
BY Clayton Rand

The Scdttville (Ky.) Citizen-Times ~cogitates:
whenever q government, municipality, a state or coun-
ty desires to economic they first set about reducing
the bill for printing. They throw the money out with
q scoop shovel in other departments, but when it comes
to printing economy runs wild"
When business gets a little dull, many a foolish
merchant cuts down on his advertising and printing,
just when he needs it most.
A merchant who quits his advertising on account OF
economy complained to the Scribe that it looked like
his regular customers had even quit him.
Advertising is like writing letters to ones trends.
If one doesn't write them often they soon forget the
address, and if he neglects them long they even forget
him.

Observance Of Lows vs.. Option

Chickasaw county is the latest in the state to decide
to vote beer out of the county, or rather the legal sale
of beer. The local option election held recently found
a small majority of the voters favorng this course.
We seriously doubt that conditions will improve
to any extent by this move. The experience OF coun-
ties adopting local option has been none to happy.
The actual amount of beer consumption has not lessened
to any extent but there has been a loss in revenue.
Those who used beer to an excess still find the OPP
portunity to satisfy their appetite through bootleggers
and easily accessible supplies over the line in other
counties. The number of law violators is increased
with much of the violation apparent to everybody.
The recent move of the beer manufacturers and
distributors to put an end to beer dealers conductlsg
establishments where liquor, gambling and other vices
are allowed to flourish. If carried through to success
full conclusion, will do much to alay movements in
other counties to adopt local option.
Beer sold through reputable dealers conducting
clean above-board establishments we believe to be q
better method than turning the sale over to bootleg
gers.

parks committee of the house at
request Of Tacoma proponents of
Franklin park plans.
The added millage would in
crease park board tax income
about $1,000 annually, which
its hackers hoped TO combine
with $4,000 In WPA funds for
development of the So. 18th
81. area.
The parks bill. which passed
second reading was sponsored by
Rep. tDr) w. G.. Cameron at
request of the Tacoma parks board.
II carried. before being amended,
authorization for the board to
levy an additional 2ie mills.
Former Bill Vetoed
Two years ago a similar
measure. authorizing three mills.
was vetoed by the governor. who
was urged to do so by Pierce
County Taxation bureau. This
year the bureau agreed to accept
the 2l2 mills. provided the park
board would so on a budgetary
basis and accept permanent
taxing limitation. The board con-
scented. and two other bills, so pro-
viding, are now in house committee
here.
I Henricksen told Pierce county
members Thursday that tn
amendment adding the one-tenth
mill jeopardized the whole pro-
gram, due to renewed opposition
of the Taxation bureau.
'Who runs your board anyway -
Rep. II. n. Barney Jackson
parks committee member and
Franklin plan hacker. asked Hen
/ ricksen. You fellows were elected
to manage the parks Why do you
let the Taxation bureau tell you
what TO do -
The proposition simply is, y
Henricksen said. that we don't
want to sacrifice the general good
1 to the desires of small group"
Seven hundred kids that need a
playfield aren't small group. in
my opinion jackson retorted.
Nobody tells us what TO do,
Or. Christoffersen declared, we
do run the park system. but we
try 10 listen to the folks who pay
the bills, too-all Of them"
Calls II Bad Policy
Henricksen declared he felt it
was bad policy for groups in Ia
coma to carry their problems
direct to the legislature Other
districts" he said. such as Oak
land and Portland avenue, also
want Fairgrounds. And we want
all districts to have them. but we
must proceed according TO our
finances, and according TO what
taxpayers are willing We should
spend"
At the conclusion of the
conference with the members.
the park commissioners said
the delegation had agreed to
scrap the one-tenth mill
amendment. when the bill Is

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-According
to statistics released by the Rubber
Manufacturers Association, Inc, to-
day, shipments of pneumatic castings
during the month of December, 1888,
are estimated at 4,l70,808 units.
Although a 81 per cent decrease
under November shipments the de-
cline is less than the usual seasonal
decline for the month for both re-
placement shipments as well as
shipments to automobile manufac-
turers, and is 81 per cent over ship
ments for December, 1887. Ship
ments for the year were POT per cent
under 1887
The association estimates produc-
ton of pneumatic castings for NO.
vember at 4,678,878 units, an increase
of more than 13 per cent over No.
vember and GAL per cent over De-
cember, 1887. Production for the
year showed a decrease of 24.9 per
cent under 1887.
Pneumatic castings in the hands
of manufacturers December 81 are
estimated at 8,497 1892 units, an in
crease of 73 per cent over stocks as
of November 80 and 1872 per cent
less than on December 81, 1887
Owing to the higher sales during
recent months stocks had reached a
dangerously low point and the small
increase in stocks at the close OF
the year is not sufficient to satisfy
expected spring demands.

Food Equipment Boosts
Use Of Stainless Steel
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 30.-Conserva-
tive estimates place the annual con-
sumption of stainless steel at 4,500
tons in restaurant, hotel, bakery and
club equipment, according to sur
vey just completed by the magazine
Steel.
Restaurants numbering 251,473 in
the United States purchased nearly
$4,000. 900 worth of steel year;
28,795 hotels representing an invest
ment of 5000 100000 spend approx
mately s27,OOO,0OO annually for steel
equipment; private clubs account
for an additional S10,000,000 worth
of steel equipment and hospitals
upward of s1O0,0O0,000 annually.
Interesting is the fact that prac-
tically all fabrication of stainless
steel is accomplished by welding
at the present time.
While no actual figures for bak-
cries are available, it is an interest
ing commentary that today there are
80 per cent fewer bakeries than
there were in 1914, but the produc-
ton is 2l2 per cent as great. AS
mass production entered the bak-
ing industry, the need for improved
machinery developed and stainless
steel was found to be ideal for many
applications.

Cotton Is Irregular,
But General Trend
Is Downward
Foreign Situation and
Control Uncertainties
Depresses Values
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Cotton
prices moved irregularly during the
last week but the general trend was
toward lower levels.
At the close Saturday active fu-
ture deliveries on the New York
Cotton Exchange showed net losses
of / to 2 points, with the greatest
recessions recorded by the nearer
months.
Among factors which brokers said
tended to depress values was the dis
turbing situation in Europe and un-
certainty as to what action, If any,
will be taken by Congress with ref
erence to control of production this
year; disposal of cotton now in the
Government loan stock, and loan
on the next crop. These influences
induced domestic liquidation and
foreign selling. At times during the
week, however, there were Offset
ting influences, including the tight
situation in the spot and futures
markets resulting from the i'm
pounding in the Government loan
stocks of the bulk of the supply of
cotton and thoughts in some quar-
ters the Government may grant an
other loan on the next crop and
may pursue production policy
which would result in a smaller
crop this year.
There was active buying of futures
contracts against fixations of prices
by mills from time to time during the
week.
Mill activity continued at good
rate. Stocks of unsold goods held
by mills are mostly conservative,
trade circles reported, with the ex-
ception of print cloth, and in the case
of print cloths the large stocks at the
mills were believed to be offset by
small stocks in distributive channels.
During the week ending Friday
exports totaled $4,000 bales, COM
pared with 5000 in the same week
last year.

Danish Court Rules Out
Bond Interest in Gold
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 30. - The
Supreme Court of Denmark ruled
today that interest on Danish gov
ernment loans issued in the United
States is not payable in gold.
Denmark authorized the sub
scription of loans Of $30,000,000 in
1925 and of s55 100000 in 1928 in
the United States. The 5l2 per
cent interest on the first and the
~ per cent on the second were
payable in gold.
All the bonds were sold in the
United States except about S2,5000 900
worth which were purchased in the
Netherlands.
When the United States suspended
gold payments in 1888, Denmark
started paying the interest in United
States currency. The Netherlands
Stock Exchange sued the Danish
government to enforce the gold pay
ment clause of the bonds, but lost
Its case under today's ruling.
