States were worth three billion dollars more { in 1922 than in 1921 gives some indication of the extent of the return of prosperity. While prices) of farm products must go higher, or the prices “farmers pay for what they buy must go lower, in order to establish a fair basis of equality, yet the improvement has been 80 great as to be cause for o tion. . Sa oe in farming alone that vastly improved * conditions are seen. In fact, every line of business *shows revival from the depression that followed the deflation movement of 1920-21. Tho fron and steel output was about 65 per cent greater in 1922 “than in 1921. The production of textiles showed an increase of about 20 per cent, of petroleum, 15} per cent, of paper 25 per cent, automobiles bo per| cent, rubber products 40 per cent, lumber 35 per cent. F There has been a change in employment condi- tions in accordance with these figures showing im- provement in industr, No industry can thrive ‘without giving employment to lubor, skilled or funskilled, and usually to both. In 1920 and part of “1921 there was a great surplus of labor and several millions of men were out of employment. Mills ‘were working on part time and building operations swere suspended. In the latter part of 1921 and all through 1922 conditions steadily improved un- til today the complaint is that industry cannot » get labor enough. This change in business activity has been due *in part to natural variations in conditions but chiefly to the removal of artificial influences and the establishment of national policies. that create “confidence in the future. It will be remembered | that early in 1920 the Wilson administration con- ducted its deflation program, through the raising of interest rates in the Federal Reserve System. The deflation movement hit the farmers first, and, since | “they constitute the chief buying element in our| population, their financial losses were reflected| Tupon industry in general. One of the early objects, in fact, the very first move of the Harding udministration was to relieve the farmers so far as they could be relieved by gov-| ernment action » president appointed to the Federal Reserve Lourd D. R. Crissinger a yery| competent banker und financier from the old home ‘town. He was not only an advocate, but had prac- ticed in his own bunk the loaning of money at rates, not as h 1s the necessity of the borrower compelled h io pay, but os low as the bank was! justified in reasonable profit and safety, Soon; after Mr. Crissinger came to the comptroller’s of-| fice and membership on the Federal Reserve Board, rates began to come down and all lines of industry began to experience renewed tivity. Moreover, the administration promptly put into effect the new provision for loans through the War Finance Corporation, advancing to agricultural as-| sociations the funds necessary to enuble them to! debted to their constituencies, market their crops in an orderly mauner instead of selling in haste at any price that could be had These two changes in national policy not only brought immediste improvement in the status of agriculture but it made the farmers large buyers of commodities in general and revived confidence in business conditions, Today the only serjous scheck to industrial activity is the inability of the inducement to} products, while the consumers are liable to impris oument if they combine to advance the prices of tex tiles. Do you object to this glaring discrimination |as between American producers? | “Specific legislation expressly permits producers of labor to combine, and also to confederate to ad- vance wages as well as to limit output, while the {employers of labor are prohibited by strongest venal statutes from combining to advance the products of labor, or to limit output, or to reduce wagés. If you think either the Adamson bill, which permits the one, or the Sherman anti-trust bill that prohibits the other should be modified, please state in what respect, and to what extent? _. "The shipping bill that bears your name, has, as its principal object, if not its sole purpose, the grant to members of seamen unions very extensive and far-reaching special privileges. Does this glar- ing fact appeal to you as a reason why the law should be now repealed? i “The well recognized effect of the above measure is to preclude the possibility of ships floating the American flag from participation in the carrying trade of the world, and therefore, it in fact drives ;our seamen from the seas. “Do you favor a subsidy for American merchant ships sufficient to balance the advantage thus | given foreign bottoms, in both our export and our {import trade’ In other words, do you as strenu- jously object to ‘special privileges’ when enjoyed | by foreigners as when Americans are favored? “When the president, or other official of a rail- road resigns or voluntarily. quits, his place is filled; then if he wishes to come back he has to be content with the best opening available. Last summer, when the men in the ruilroad shops quit, | that the public might be served their places were filled, ani, later these men wanted their places back with seniority rights restored, where did you off the constitutional convention! and your group stand? | “I ask these questions, for I am convinced that a great number of thinking Americans, not easily Swept off their feet,’ are watching you, and those who seem to think it an honor to train under your banner to learn if possible whether you are seck- ing to solve problems, or simply to nurse discon. tent.” The Public Trust of High Office. EDUCED to cold and, unromantic dollars and / cents, the tremendous energies of Theodore Roosevelt eventuated in a personal estate worth $687,000 on the day of his death. Had those en- ergies been directed toward commerce and indus- try; or had Roosevelt used his inside knowledge and vast influence to speculate, he could easily have amassed a fortune running high into the millions. The fourdation of this fortune was inherited but was increased by persistent personal industry and thrift. Roosevelt left a spotless record; neverthe- less, he wea the victim of scandal-mongers and once found it necessary to bring a suit for damages to force a retraction. The recent. probate of the will of Senator Penrose showed an estate totaling $565,000 ne The es- tate of the late Senator Gallinger of New Hamp shire showed about $170,000. The late Sereno b. Payne, of New York, for many years chairman of the ways and means committee left an estate of $70,000, Penrose was apparently the plutocrat of this trinity, vet his estate was a very modest one as wealth is reckoned in these da The Penrose family hud considerable money before Boies en- tered public life. Had he remained in private life and devoted his great talents to personal gain, the chances are that he would have left an estate reaching far into the milUons, Thirty-eight years of public service was a losing game financially for the Pennsylvania leader. Forty-six years iu the service of his state and country meant a financial sacrifice to Gallinger. Forty-one years in public office left Payne a comparatively poor man. Few public men have been more cruelly maligned during their lifetime than Penrose, Gallinger and yne. The accusation that they were hand-in- glove with “predatory interests,” and that they profited immensely thereby, was made so repeat- edly us to become fixed in the minds of those who are always willing to believe that power and suc- cess are attributable to crookedness and conspirac fortunately the minority of our people, There men were statesmen, and they wrought mightily for the welfare of the American common- wealth. Had they lived up.to the reputation which muckrakers sought to fix on them, they would have died worth millions, All three of them were pos: sessed of firm convictions, which when opposed, were Spartanically pressed; but whose convictions were born of theipy devotion to the public welfare and what they sincerely believed to be for the best interests of the nation. They may at times have been mistaken. There is not the slightest cridence that they were ever concerned with graft. It is fortunate fur the country, and we aro in- that Penrose, Gal- linger and Payne have an aggregate of one hundred |and twenty-five y to the public service. Their detractors were quite generally to be found among |; that class which is against ev erything construc. tive—frequently opposed to everything American.

Simpler still ‘Why not go a little further anf add a clause to the bill making it lawful to go on into our kitchen to fry the fsh caught from any such stream? If our land is public prop- erty, why not our house? Also, we might have a bill making it lawful for any rancher when .he goes to town to camp on the lawn of any property owner, get waer from his hydrant an leave his empty cans and all sorts of.garbage anywhere on the premises, which is a common ow currence in the country. There are few ranchers who refuse permission to responsible parties who apply for {t, td go upon their land and fish or camp; but it !s unreasonable bnd unjust to throw property open to the public, and put the whole burden of proof of damage upon the rancher. The automobile has made it poss'ble for a good part of the population of the towns to get out in the country every Saturday, and if they are to be allowed to swarm over the ranch er’s property at will, he may as well pull down kis fence and quit.
