If the community To prospers, the banker peepers. havo community prosperity, industrial activity is necessary to keep up a constant circulation of money. To help stablize business conditions, some prominent bankers are urging merchants and others engaged in business to adopt a plan of cash reserve, or surplus to tide them over emergency situations and furnish protecdulltion aguiust temporary trado ' ness.

Tho most valuable natural resources will go for naught if the inhabitants of the country are not given the wherewithal and the encouragement to put these resources to use and realize Tho most important eleon them. ment in progressive commercial and industrial enterprise is contentment of the working clnaa, which can only be made possible by decent surroundings fair wages and steady employment.

The curse of free trade in America wns amply described by Horace Gree-dewhen he wrote: Our years of signal distress nnd depression havo been those in which pur ports were more easily flooded witli foreign goods those which intervened between thc recognition of our independence ami the enactment of the tariff of 1780; tlioho which followed the close of our last war with Great Britian and were signalized by immense importations of her when tho fabrics those of 1837-42- , compromise of IS.'!.'! began to be seriously felt in the reduction of duties on imports, nnd those of 1854 f 7 when r tariff' of 1846 hnd had the time to take full effect.

One of the loading ship operators on tho Pneific coast, a man who has sailed the sea himself as n captain, nnd who is today a lender in indus- e trial undertakings, says: no American shipowners need subsides if onr government will simply take tho bars down nnd let them ran their ships in competition with other nations without thc restraining influences nnd legislative handicaps imposed on the Amcricnu shipowner today. American ship owners under our laws must pay "higher wages and comply with more regulations relative to ship operation' than any naLabor agreetion in the wrorld. ments bind American ship operators Onr but do not bind the sailor. merchant marine would have been de vcloped before this on a permanent and stable basis if it were not for the killing effect of our regulations, which handicap it and with which the foreign operator does not have to comply. We can write volumes about how to develop our shipping, but so long the main as we side-steissue, nnmely onr own embargo which we place against our own ships by our laws which in no way effect the foreign ships, our merchant marine can not bo developed extensively on a germanent and prosperous basis. i I1 s One dollars worth of farm pro ducts at the present time will pur chase only 82 per cent as much food ,62 per cent as much cloth and clothing, 58 per cent, as much fuel, 83 per cent as much motals and metal products, 57 per cent as much lumber and building materials, 68 per cent as much chemicals and drugs and 42 per cent as uuch furnishings as it would have purchased in 1913 Or in exchange for pro- the fanners labor is at foods cesse, 18 per cent. of discount a In exchange for cloth and clothing the farmers labor is at a discount of 38 per cent.

A COMMON MISTAKE port of the misunderstanding and criticism of public utility commissions dnd increased utility rates is duo to the fact that the average user of utility service has little idea of the manner in which Ms bill is computed.
