' MAY HAVE BURNED TRESTLE VOLUME 11. NO. 157. BEMIDJ], MINNESOT! a. ocroxmi 31 1018, FORTY CENTS PER MONTH HURTS BUSINESS Empire Builder James J. Hill Dis- cusses Present Conditions—Men Of Courage Needed Chappell Says Enormous Amount Of Power Consumed In California Due To That Reason MADE RECKLESS PROMOTIONS ’ Chicago, Oct. 31.—James J. Hill of the Great Northern railway and Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the Nation- al City bank of New York, who ar- rived here to deliver addresses to the convention of the Investment Bank- ers’ Association of America, each de- clared that political agitation is check- g the progress of business. Mr. Hill said that timidity on the part of financiers was allowing a busi- ness recession to develop. “This is the time for men to show courage,” he asserted. “If big men are not willing to accept their respon- sibilities they should lay them down. If responsible men would do their part the depression would not last. As for the politicians it is useless to hope that they will put themselves out of a job by keeping quiet.” Mr. Vanderlip said that the hope of business men is for “sound legisla- tion.” “First, and above all,” he asserted, “this country must not be committed 10 a policy of issuing fiat money to loan to banks.” Mr. Vanderlip will speak on the proposed banking legislation. Made Reckless Promotions. Delos A. Chappell of Los Angeles addressed the .convention on; “The Financing and Development of Hydro Electric Power.” The enormous amount of power con-| sumed in California had been respon- sible, he said, for many reckless pro- motions, calling for the introduction of some financing méthods to lt.lmp them out. The accumulation in the hands of & few irdividuals of the enormous tim- ‘ber resources of the United States s reiponsibie . for ‘the comparatively small amount of - timber land bonds. outstanding in the hands of investors, acocording to Clark L. Poole of Chi- CRALO. The government estimate that at the present rate of consumption ‘our | native timber supply' wodld' be ex- ‘hausted in fifty to-seventy-five years, be said, had had -and would have in the future a marked effect on the val- ue .of standing timber. He. declared that the price tendency could not be otherwise than upward, therefore giv- ing an unusual element of strength to any security whose basis was stand- ing ‘timber.” DUES NOT END STRIFE Presence Of Troups Fails To Stop Dis- order Which Increases In Colorado Strick District Trinidad, Colo., Oct. 31.—Coincident with the arrival of the state militia in the strike zone of Southern Colo- rado more disorders occurred throughout the district than had been reported previously during any one day.
