= STATISTICIAN SAYS DEPRESSION MIGHT NOT BE SBLP-CURING Says Business Recovery Will Be ‘Conditioned’ By Govern- mental Policies Cleveland, Dec. 13.—(4)—Business recovery “will be conditioned to an unexampled degree” by what hap- pens in Washington the coming year, Col. Leonard P. Ayres, vice president of the Cleveland Trust company and nationally recognized statistician, said Tuesday. Col. Ayres, in his annual address before the Chamber of Commerce on the business outlook, asserted that unlike any previous depression, the Present economic situation “is not likely to be automatically self-cur- ing.” “The problem of trying to forecast the business developments of 1933 is one that involves in large measure the attempts to guess or estimate the degree to which the policies of the new administration at Washington will be formulated with wisdom and its actions guided by sagacity. It is quite literally a problem of political economy rather than one of business economics.” For that reason, he said, it is im- Possible to make the customary year- ly business predictions except in a few cases. He hazarded probabili- ties of: Lower industrial wage rates, a lower cost of living, a greater num- ber of commercial failures, less divi- dend payments and interest rates on commercial paper, and an output of trucks and cars in the United States and Canada of between 1,250,000 and 2,000,000. There are two alternatives ahead, he said—inflation or adjustments “necessary for a resumption of nor- mal business at lower prices.” It is “prudent to expect,” he said, “that the long, hard grind of sound money will be chosen. “In that event, 1933 probably will prove to be another year of depres- sion during which halting and ir- regular progress will be slowly achieved in the building of founda- tions for recovery. “It the alternative course of at- tempting to lift price levels by in- flation should be chosen, the at- tempt would in all probability fail and the subsequent events prove dis- astrous. “Developments since the election have been disquieting rather than reassuring,” he said. Calling attention to the decline of the British pound to its lowest level in history following opposition to an extension of the moratorium on war debts he commented “we are engaged in making our troubles worse.” Some 20 business depressions -in this country since 1790 have cured themselves, Ayres said, but two new conditions—the lack of great, ex- Panding industries and the shrink- age of our export trade—indicate “that this time our economic diffi- culties are not likely to.prove. to. be automatically self-curing.” County Agent Vote in Cavalier Challenged Cavalier, N. D., Dec. 18—(?)—The district court has been asked to de- cide the legality of the vote at the November election on the question of discontinuing county agent work in Pembina county. The ballot count showed the proposal to discontinue the work passed by a vote of 2,815 to 2,804, Edward Thomson and Archie Horn- becker, both of Cavalier, have re- quested a recount in petitions filed here. Judge W. J. Kneeshaw, Pem- bina, is expected to hold a hearing on the petitions next week.

No situation can seriously nonplus that di -aristocrat.

We packed a lot of travel into that time, and saw just about everything we could, even tour- ing the World War battlefields. We were glad to get home, though. The grandchildren seem to love Hyde Park as much as I do.” see ‘A_SIMPLE TIME’ It was mosning. and Mrs. James Roosevelt had been looking at some old photograph albums in her little sitting room off the main hall of the big house. Graciously and without apology she had received the reporter while she was wearing a little lace cap and negligee. After a while she would dress for the afternoon when Lady Astor and some friends were driving up from New York. Just now, however, she wanted to talk about the Rising Roosevelts, “We have a rather simple time of it when we're all together here. There is no set hour for breakfast; but most of the family get down about nine, except little Franklin, who is a sleepy- head. Imagine my calling him ‘lit- tle Franklin,’ when the boy must be 6 feet 4 now! After breakfast, John and Franklin go to the stables, John lly, for he's the fondest of hOrses of anyone I ever saw. “Everyone comes in for lunch, and afterward they do anything they like.

Dec. 7, 1932. Editor, Tribune: I have pondered so much on this wheat question and read so many cures that I have readers cramp. Let us discard at once all those cures that require large bond issues to put them over and realize that we, as a whole, are broke and our credit is gone. I have a plan and if every one will; follow through (with his mind) and! sit down and write his senator, and if William Langer will quit being so damn partisan and get on one side or the other (of course I hope he gets on the right side) I think it will work.! We farmers who joined the Nonpart-/ isans did so in the interest of agricul- ture and not party, as the name im- S. Now here is the plan. If there ts anything amiss in it let’s hear from you: | A law to regulate the buying and selling of wheat in North Dakota first, hoping that other states and the nation will pull into line. Make it unlawful for any farm unit to sell on any market over 200 bushels of grain each or any month in the year) for a period of three to five years. The reason for this is that the proper place to hold wheat is on the farm! to keep control. The law would halt; these big farming operators who rob the soil of fertility, glut the market and cause the surplus. The sure foundation of a prosperous nation is; in the small homes. It would com- pel the farmer who, in a good year raised over his quota, to restrict his acreage or build new granaries. There would be no surplus because the do- mestic supply of America would re- quire all of the wheat sold each month. ‘There would be no glut on the mar- ket because of orderly marketing and heavy storage costs would be saved. It this law went into effect at once the state or nation could peg wheat at @ $1 minimum without having to buy any large quantity. They could figure it out in a little while just what wheat was on hand and the {months possible incoming wheat and | could then regulate exports, and the farmer would know what he could get and would regulate his seeding according to his carry-over. I believe even the Kansas farmers have come, by this time, to the con- clusion that no matter how badly he hates to be regulated he must sub- mit, and the big fellow is busted. Why not make this impossible situa- tion impossible of repetition? Also, I would like to see the bond- ing privilege taken away from all government agencies. It has taken us 20 years to get into debt up to our chins and.if something is not done at once we are bound to drown. I have enjoyed this 20 years of prodigality and am sport enough to call it a day and try to leave the next generation a balanced budget. If we get off the toboggan now and start back up hill we will, most of us, play out before we get to the top, but if this new set of officers have any ability they will make a clean state- ment of facts as to. our debts and liabilities after an audit is made by someone who is hard. What we want now is a jolt. And then let’s look back up the hill and get together. This is no doubt enough for one dose. If anyone wishes to see how this plan could work when there are surpluses in other countries, I'll try tomorrow to make it more confusing. « Yours truly, J. D.

Probably never in the history of our country has there Keen a more opportune time than at the present. All our American people should lay aside political differences, whatever they may be, and cooperate to the fullest extent with our representa- tives and senators, to see if we can- not get a federal liquor law that will give us a reasonable profit and at) the same time be just to our people and our nation, R.

Editor, Tribune: I am going to answer Mr. Langer’s speech, which he made recently in Dickinson, if you care to put it in| your paper, In answer to the governor-elect’s D.| Speech, I will say that it does him no credit, and the same holds true of the speech made by Frank Vogel. The latter said he would rather live in Soviet Russta than in Taylor. ‘Well, I believe there are a lot of peo- Ple who wish he was there. It seems to me we will be in Soviet Russia if Mr. Langer has the power to carry out his threats. It is sup- posed that people have a right to vote | @s they see fit. If Mr. Lefor is so well qualified and so honest why did he jot carry his own precinct, where he has lived nearly all his life. He lost in his own precinct the same as Mr. Langer did in his, Mr. Cain has the honesty and qual- ifications to act as state senator and Tam sure will do all in his power for the people of the state. Mr. Langer calls Mr. Leutz Czar of Taylor. Mr. Leutz is one of the best men for his position the state has ever had. I am sure he has never recom- mended a loan to the state in excess of value and as a collector he has the experience and I am sure would use good, common judgment. I am sure he would not take $2,000 from a widow and give nothing in return. It seems it is up to a governor to do everything in his power to help the advancement of the state instead of wanting to tear it to pieces because People did not vote to sult him. Let us hope Mr. Langer will get down to! some semblance of common sense and act like a governor should act. W. H.

The Latter Day Saints church, with some three quarters of a million adherents over the world, teaches it occurred on the latter date, and declares that fact was shown to Joseph Smith, its found- er, by divine revelation. Further, on that Christmas night of April 6 there was no darkness from sunset to sunrise in the western hemisphere, the book of Mormon narrates. Despite this disagreement, the thousands of “Mormons” in this state observe Christmas on the traditional date although there is no very great emphasis put upon it in their church services.

D., Dec. 13—(7)— A slender, glittering blade of steel which once hung at General George Armstrong Custer’s.side is the object of a contest in circuit court here. Contesting for possession of the treasured blade are Fred Tinan, youthful Mitchell lawyer, who claims to have found it in boyhood days, and C. H. Zeitner, Kimball farmer with a flair for collecting antiques. Identity of the sword was deter- mined recently through correspond- ence with an aged blade-maker in Germany, who declared it was made by him for General Custer before he began his campaigns against Indians in Dakota Territory. Found Near Kimball Tinan, who seeks to recover the! blade, tells an interesting story of! how he found and later lost the! Sword. About 25-years ago he and a boy friend were riding horseback near Kimball. They noticed a chain pro-) truding from the ground and stopped | to investigate. Unable to pull the chain free they | obtained a shovel and began to dig. Their reward was the sword. Immediately the weapon became a prized plaything. It was loaned for use in home talent plays and finally | relegated to the attic in the Tinan | home and forgotten. - Two years ago it came into the’ Possession of Zeitner, who says he/| purchased it from two strangers pass- ing through Kimball. Zeitner wrote / to Germany to trace the record of the blade. Then came the answer that the sword had been made for Gen- eral Custer. Tinan Became Curious On hearing of the identification Ti- ner and satisfied himself the sword was the one he dug up from the prairies and cherished in boyhood. Tinan seeks to recover the sword. which is in the custody of the court and kept in a bank vault. Considerable conjecture has been raised as to how the sword came to be! buried beneath the prairie sod. Perhaps the sword was lost in the grass as the general and his com- mand moved toward the Black Hills. Or it may have been that the sword could have been placed on a supply wagon and the chain wrapped around it to prevent bounding out. Through carelessness it could have been lost from the wagon. Another guess is that the sword may have come into the possession of an Indian, who in turn buried it for safekeeping.

Pay Reduction Is Debated in House Washington, Dec. 13. — (@) — The thorny question of federal pay cuts Tuesday again threw the house into @ cross-fire of sharp debate. The dispute revolved around a reso-| _ lution designed at least to forec a vote on whether the payless furlough amounting to an 8 1/3 per cent salary cut for the government employes. should be continued another year. Provision for this extension was in the pending treasury-postoffice .ap- propriations bill. Ordinarily, legisla- tion of this kind could be stricken from a money bill on a point of order. The resolution presented by Repre- sentative Bankhead (Dem. Ala.). would waive all points of order against the debated sections.
