Government economists are agreed that conditions now are not comparable with those of 1914, when war news produced a panic and . . forced exchanges to close. While the outbreak of , a general war probably would produce a temporary break in prices, this break would be negligible compared with the 1914 debacle, and ' recovery would be quicker if not so exaggerated.

Whatever the immediate gyrations of the business indices, the long curve between now and election time in 1940 will almost certainly be up. President Roosevelt and the Administration will do all they can to push it in that direction. Therein lies what hope they have for the reclection of Roosevelt or election of the successor he designates. However much business men may want to get rid of President Roosevelt and all his work, they wont pass up a chance to make an honest dollar. Business will never be appeased so long as Roosevelt is in the White House. But fortunately there is practically no connection be tween business prosperity and the abstraction known as business confidence. Business has confidence when it sees a chance to make money, lacics confidence when it doesnt. Everything points to a season of unappeased confidence.

The tax rate in Davis County is low, as compared with that prevailing in the more populous centers. Governmental service costs less in Davis County than in many other local- ities. This is largely due to the fact that there are no bond issues against this county. For many years the policy in this county has been Pay As You Go. Regardless of the political complexion of county government this sound principle of business and government has been rigidly observed. SOUND BANKS . Business cannot operate without sound, strong banks. In .the entire history of Davis County, there has never been a bank failure and no embezzlements have occurred. Strong and honest banks make for industrial security. RESIDENCE... Davis County is one of the few counties in the state of Utah that has shown a steady growth in population during the past. Most of the towns and cities of the county offer all the modern conveniences of the larger centers electric power, gas, good schools, telephone service and good roads. Beautiful surroundings, natural scenic beauty and suburban convenience make this a fine place for residence. No more invigorating climate can be found in the intermountain west than that enjoyed by those who live in this beautiful valley. ... LADOR Davis County has been remarkably free from labor troubles. An ample supply of dependable labor is available in Davis County for the employer who would locate here. The youth population offers young people for apprentice training to learn a business or trade. : DDAVH A. O. STOKER Commissioner C4DUJOTY FRED L. RAMPTON Chairman a CHESTER FLINT Commissioner ( |
