Tax collections for the 30-day period just finished total $122,738.48, the report shows. In October, 1933. the collections amounted to $113,351.28. Although the October collections show a gain over 1933, they do not ap- proach the totals collected from 1930 to 1932, inclusive, Elness pointed out. In 1932 collections totaled $166,984.64; in 1931 they amounted to $162,173.31 and in 1930, $273,351.30 was collected.

OUT OF } DEPRESSION, SETS NORMAL CAR QUOTA 1935 Production Figure Placed at 1,000,000 by Manu- facturer 725,000 UNITS THIS YEAR Normalicy Would Return If Bus- iness Would Forget Al- phabet Schemes Detroit, Nov. 1—(#)—Henry Ford said Thursday that the Ford Motor Company is out of the depression and that its 1935 production schedule will be set at 1,000,000 units or more for the first time in four years. The Ford Motor Co. also announced Plans to spend $2,000,000 to expand the capacity of its rough plant by 50 per cent, thereby eliminating the early morning shift of which Henry Ford never has approved. “The depression,” Mr. Ford said in @ statement, “would be over for the whole country very soon if American industrialists would just forget the alphabet schemes and take hold of their industries and run them with good, sound American business sense.” ‘The Ford Company's world produc- tion so far this year has totaled ap- proximately 725,000 units and the com- pany is understood to have completed 1934 model output. It has not top- Ped the 1,000,000 unit mark since 1930, when output aggregated 1,485,000 cars. It has been prdicted in authorita- tive sources that the motor car in- dustry’s 1934 output will aggregate 800,000 units, and as usual, the great bulk of this will be in the lowest field. Last year the industry produced ap- proximately 2,000,000. cars and trucks and in 1932, the lowest point during the depression the aggregate output was 1,431,404 cars and trucks. 1933 a keen battle for leadership has been on between Ford and Chevrolet, with Plymouth also contributing heav-: ily to the total production. Unoffic- ial figures show that Chevrolet still is leading in total output in the low- est price field, with an output for the first 10 months this year of 790,477 units. The figures compare with 608,- 130 cars and trucks last year. The Ford output this year of ap- proximately 725,000 units compares| with 412,000 in the same period last, year, or a larger ratio of increase than Chevrolet. Plymouth during the first 10 months this year had an output of 335,900 units compared with 234,214 in 1 the like period lest year. While the industry's leaders gen- erally are understood to look for a further upturn next year, Ford alone thus far has made a definite predic- tion.

Gillette, Grand Forks, Elect- ed President of North Dakota Group Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 1.—(P)- Dr. J. M. Gillette, Grand Forks, head of the university sociology department, was elected president of the North Dakota state conference of social work late Wednesday at the closing session of the organization's four- day twelfth annual meeting. Others elected were J. A. Hendricks, Fargo, vice president; the Rev. Opie 8. Rindahl, Bismarck, second vice president; Thomas Wilson Cape, Grand Forks, secretary, and Mrs. Kathryn Wehlitz, Fargo, treasurer. Board members at large named in addition to the officers were Rev. Rin- dahl, Dr. Maysil Williams of Bismarck; the Rev. Vincent J. Ryan, Fargo, re- tiring president, and Mrs. Alice B. ley, Bismarck. The election followed a morning session which featured an address by Dr. P. W. Covington, field director of the international health board of the Rockefeller Foundation, who stressed the spread of health work over the United States and the notable results obtained through national, state and local efforts to prevent sick- ness. At a round table session, the social workers discussed needed changes in legislation and later heard reports of various committees.

FALLEN MONARCH 6 UMLITY EMPIRE If PROUD OF BUILDING Declares Electric Power Poll Contributed More Than Stockholders Lost [CALLED ‘RUNAWAY WITNESS? Tears Come to Eyes in Describ- ing Kindnesses Shown Him by Edison Chicago, Nov. 1.—()—Samuel In- sull, defending himself against mail fraud charges Thursday, told the jury that his middle western electric pow- er pool had “contributed to the wealth of this section” more than stockhold- ers had lost in Insull's two billion dollar commercial failure. A moment after he had made this proud declaration, pounding his fist emphatically on the arm of the wit- ness stand, Insull told the jury that he had turned down an important Post offered by the English govern- ment, in 1926, to stay in this country. “This statement, gentlemen, never has been made public,” said the 74- year-old utility executive, waving his hand at the jury. “Mr. Stanley Baldwin offered me the chairmanship of the British high tension power development,” Insull said almost in a shout. “He offered me a chance to do, in the country of my birth, what 1 had done in the country of my adoption. It was a tremendous temptation.” Faithful to Associates “I could have gone to England and duplicated the reputation there that I've made here. There were only two Teasons why I did not. “The first was my obligation to my associates here, and the second my obligation to the security holders wio Provided me with money to do it.” Insull’s defense of his middle west- ern utility ventures, which crashed in 1932 with thousands of stockhold- ers aboard, came at the close of a morning's testimony in which he re- counted the story of his rise from an (Continued on Page 7) CANADIAN PEGGING OF WHEAT BEGINS \Chicago Traders Express Belief ; Step Will Not Effect U. S. Market Winnipeg, Nov. 1.—()— Pegged wheat prices went into effect on the Winnipeg grain exchange Thursday for the second time in the history of its trading operations. (Chicago traders expressed belief the step would have little effect on the American market. They said two drouth seasons had made the United States almost independent of foreign grain fluctuations and that Chicago Prices continued above those of Win- nipeg and Liverpool). The pegging move was interpreted as a victory for farmers and the first step in government regulation. The council of the .exchange at an emer- gency session Wednesday night adopt- ed regulations under which Decem- ber futures cannot go below Wednes- day's close of 75 cents and the May future was pegged at the minimum of 80 cents, 1s cent above Wednesday's close. Higher prices, of course, can be bid in trading. Renewed foreign selling pressure was the immediate cause of the pegging of prices. Farmers’ organiza- tions had requested the step, alleging the futures market operated against the benefit of the producer. MRS. M. W.
