YOUNG DEMOS
ENDORSE SHOW
Proposed Exposition
in 1912 Okehed by
Clubs in State

Young Democratic clubs of
Washington have endorsed tho
proposed Pacific Northwest Cen
tennial Exposition to be held in
1912. according to James Niche
lotta, chairman of 9Th district
clubs.
Should the proposed exposition
materialize. IL would be the first
to be held in the Northwest in 80
years, the last one being the
Alaska Yukon Exposition in Seat
tie in 1909.
I'VE believe" commented Niche
letta. this is one of the finest
projects that we can support at
this time. as we must reassure
all legislators that the popular
demand for this exposition is
here and that we will back them
up in their support for this bill
Our federal Legislators have
promised the exposition committee
fullest cooperation and support"
Micheletta estimated at least
$40. DOC. 900 would be spent for
buildings by business enterprises,
organizations. states and nations
for representation at the show.
A site for the proposed exposition
has not yet been selected.

BIG SURPLUS IN
SAVINGS, LOAN

A strong surplus and reserve
account was indicated In the an
nual statement of the Pacific First
Federal Savings association, re-
leased Tuesday.
Unimpaired surplus and reserves
exceed 81. 900. 900, while assets are
above 100000 the statement
revealed. This is unusual, j. r S.
Lyle, president, pointed out, in
that IL shows ratio of 10 TO /,
while many of the large saving
institutions In the nation are not
over five To one.
The public wants financial in
stitutions that are strong and
safe" Lyle commented Today,
they are looking not only at the
figures shown on the financial
statement, but are Analysing these
figures.
"A strong surplus and reserve
ability to withstand adverse bust
ness conditions, and definitely con-
tributes to stability of earnings
and payment of dividends or in
tercst.
Our institution is proud of its
showing, and very much appreci-
ates the cooperation of its many
friends in Tacoma who seem to
take pardonable pride and active
interest in the growth of this fed
cral mutual savings organization"

1t is because buying is fairly
prudent that at the end of the
year we find no serious piling up
of inventories. This tends TO JUS
tify the belief that this minor up
swing will continue, provided it is
not impaired by other forces
which we will examine later.
Producers who keep close to
these minor consumers goods
swings. seem to be fairly optimis-
tic about the future. The auto
mobile people believe they can
keep up their activity in the first
half of 1889 The textile industry
feels the same way and so does
the shoe industry. The apparel,
household equipment and similar
industries have enjoyed rising pro-
duction schedules.
1t Is usual for production to
calm down around Christmas. for
various reasons. Also after Christ
mas comes an immense drop in
retail business which always car
ries the curve of business down
for perhaps two months But this
is not important. 1t is a purely
seasonal swing.
The sentiment among business
men themselves is more or less

will find themselves with large
supplies on their shelves which
are not moving. Their inven-
tories become too large, it is said.
Hence, they cut out their buy
ing at the wholesalers or the
manufacturers He in turn re-
duces his production. thus reduc-
ing employment, which IN turn
acts upon the stores, whose sales
grow still less. Business will thin
out until the shelves are pretty
well emptied before merchants
begin to buy again, giving the
business curve another little up
ward twist.
When the recession began in
1887 many called it an inventory
depression This, of course, was
not true. The inventories were
fairly large. But if it had been
merely an inventory depression it
would never have gone so low.
1t was produced by other causes.
Whatever caused the depression,
however, inventories We're thor
oughly washed out, And so now
we see buying going on fairly
briskly, but not too rashly by
merchants Not too rashly-that

Buell. Snyder. D.. Pa. Of the house
war department appropriations
committee. indicated his committee
will favor giving the army more
than $500 900 900 for the expanded
national defense program
Snyder said his committee will
be inclined 10 appropriate some
thing like 500, 900. 900 more for
this year for national defense
equipment than we did last year
Such an increase would bring
war department defense appropria-
tions over the half billion dollar
mark The appropriation for the
current fiscal year Is $3.50 pol ,254 .
Snyder said that by 1912 the
nation would have 5000 modern
airplanes. with sea coast and anti
aircraft equipment. sufficient TO
keep any foe from encroaching on
our shores. and at the same time
be able to help our neighbor. South
America, in the case the Monroe
doctrine Is encroached upon by a
foreign power.

men to own and dispose Of prop
crty. That was the entering wedge,
and from that time the fight for
suffrage began to spread all over
the country
About twenty years after New
York let down couple Of the bars.
two national groups were organ
ized-the National Women's Suf-
frage association and the Amer
lean Women's Suffrage associs-
ton. The former concentrated on
efforts to obtain suffrage through
an amendment 10 the national con-
stitution; the latter worked on the
states.
The first victory Of the
American suffragettrs was In
the territory OF Wyoming in
1869. where women wee given
equal rights with men. When
Wyoming was admitted 10 the
Union In 1890 the suffrage
provision was put In the state
constitution and Wyoming he
came the first state To guaran-
TEE equal rights. Next came
Colorado, Utah, Idaho. Mon
tana, Washington, California,
New York. Michigan, okla
homa. and Texas.
BY this time the suffrage senti-
ment had become so strong that
the politicians realized that II was
a good issue and several attempts
were made TO induce congress to
submit a constitutional amend
ment. but the hard-shells who be
lieved that woman was an inferior
creature whose job was bearing
and taking care of the home were
always able To muster enough
votes to defeat It,
In 1917 tho war broke out in
Washington with the suffragettes
picketing congress- and finally
blocking the entrances to the
White House Many of them, in
Guiding Gen" Rosalie Jones, once
the wife of Washington's former
United States Senator c. {. Dill.
Finally, after having been
defeated several times. the
special session Of congress
called by Woodrow Wilson In
1919 passed n resolution pro-
viding for the suffrage amend
mcnt and In 1920 II was rati-
fled by the required number
OF states.
Many notable women were as
ISOLATED in the effort to obtain
equal suffrage. Among them was
Anna Howard Shaw. She gradual
ed from the Methodist school at
Albion. Mich. in 1878. and in 1890
was ordained minister in the
Methodist Protestant church the
first woman to receive ordination
in that denomination.
Another was Carrie Chapman
Gait, product of the Iowa corn
fields. She headed the suffrage
movement in Iowa in 1890 and
was one of the leaders in the
group which put the national
amendment over.

three articles dealing With the COM
Ing business year, he treats Of the

b. JOHN T. FLYNN
The great question. as We stand
on the threshold Of the new year.
is what lies ahead for business
In trying TO answer that. we
have to keep in mind that there
are in business and In the stock
market three separate movements
major. minor and seasonal.
Business activity goes UP and
down with the seasons and does
this inevitably in good and bad
times These swings are not TO
be considered in any serious at
tempt to estimate the future OF
the business cycle.
The important things are the
major and minor swings. And
It may be said here that the minor
swings may not be so very minor,
but may, occasionally, attain 10
impressive proportions.
The minor swings arc due to
movements and forces TO be found
within the structure OF the con-
sumers' goods industries.
The major swings are controlled
by the behavior of the capital
goods industries.
Now TO bring this TO point,
the swing up since February has
been thus far, insofar as 1t Is af-
fected by any force within BUSH
ness. minor movement. That is,
it has been wholly controlled by
activities within the consumers
goods industries.
The consumers goods industries
are those which produce goods
which are sold TO ultimate con-
sumers. They are goods which
arc found in stores and which
people buy at retail for their own
use. They are food, clothes. lux
uries household furniture. jewell
ny, beauty preparations tan enor-
nous business), amusements and
the like.
The outlets for these industries
are the stores. And in these in
dustries various forces create
movements. For instance, mer-
chants are compelled to stock up
their stores with goods. They are
influenced by their opinions about
the future and the buying habits
of their customers.

move fast enough merchants will
slacken in their purchase They
