BUSINESS UPTURN IS
SEEN AS POSSIBILITY
A tusine33 upturn in the near fu
ture now may be Been as a possibil
ity. There are numerous basic rea
sons for this statement. And while
ore may Lesifa'ta lo prcdiet'rll'TwiII
come, one may have no hesitancy
whatever in paying a start toward re
covery can be made if the proper
Etep3 are taken. The eetup for an
advance in business i3 good. All the
material essentials are present for
progress henceforth. Tho industrial
equipment, tho raw materials, the
vant3 of consumers and an actual
shortage of commodities all empha
size the time a3 proper for recovery.
Textile mills have net been busy
for a long time. They have held their
production at a point that would
barely supply the demand. D omestics
are r.dvancing in prico right now.
Raw materials are hard to get. Man
ufacturers of various garments are
placing orders for raw materials
without any hope cf having them
filled before three cr four weeks. In
addition, jobbers and retailers are
stocking up on domestic goods for
two reasons, actual shortage on
shelves and in warehouses and re
duced production of raw materials.
Everywhere there are reports that
the public is ready to buy for tbe
Eimple reason that people are- forced
to go into the market and replace
all sorts of commodities that have
. disappeared. This applies to clothing
particularly, also to furniture and
furnishings, to motor cars, to uten
sils and implements, to commodi
ties in Ecores of lines. People are
tired of many things they have. They
havo worn cut their clothing, and
rotr.'Iers for the most part havo been
celling off their shelves without re
plenishing stocks beyond demand, it
i3 said there never has been a time
when supplies of commodities in
general merchandise wero so low as
now. Thi3 means the ro has got to
be increased production.
Another thing: The people gen
erally aro tired of tho depression
Now tliey begin to . tea there Is a
way out of their difficulties If they
join tha movement back to normal
living. The money situation Is
greatly improved. There 13 mora con
fdenco, more trust and that means
vast amounts of currency -will come
out cf hiding. When . that happens
thera will be freer spending. Freer
spending mean3 price inflation, gTeat
er Industrial production, ' better
wacra. . less unemployment and . a
stronger buying power. Within the
year a great change oujht to bs pos
sible. Th& extent to which, we pro
gress, of course, will depend upon
the cpirlt of the people. If as a ma33
they aro ready to leave tho depres
sion behind there is absolutely noth
ing that can prevent them from do

visualized, would be stupendous. Of
course, the realm of card games
would have to include poker, with
an extra erg, f. p. or h. p., or two

HUMAN NATURE
- It i3 difficult to escapo the con
clusion that the principal cause of
hard times is over-optimism in good
times. If that is true, if economic
depressions are duo to causes Inher
cnt in human nature, we confess that
wo cannot see much hope for that
millenium in which there will al
ways be prosperity for everybody. We
certainly do not see how it is possible
for legislation to correct evils which
are sure to recur whenever conditions
are ripo for them.
That Is not to say that wo do not
think tho Government at Washing
ton and the state government should
not do all in their power to make
dishonesty unprofitable. Wo think it
would be a salutary thing for the
country to put a few big bankers and
stock promoters in jail and keep
them there as a warning to others
But wo haven't much sympathy with
the idea that all, or the major part,
of our troubles are the result of the
machinations of unscrupulous crooks.
On the contrary, wo think we got
ourselves into trouble by believing
that boom times would never end.
We mortgaged our homes and our
farms when it was ea3y to borrow on
them, because it seemed so easy to
get the money to pay off the mort
gages when we needed it. And when
wo say "we" we ar3 speaking of
everybody. Big manufacturers and
business men were Just a3 simple as
tha smallest. They built up great
plants on bond issues, because they
cculd not seo far enough ahead to
realize that tho mrrket for their
produrt was not going to keep on
growing, but would some day slack
off.
We do rot think the people who
Indulged in what now seem like wild
dream of increasing profit3 were dis
honest; net most of them, anyway.
We think they all cf us built too
much on hopo and rot enough on
prudent cemmon-sonso. And, looking
back over tb.3 history cf other de
pressions. It seems to us that they all
happened for the same reason. Hu
man nature cannot avoid undue opti
mism when .things aro going well,
Just as it cannot escape undue fear
when things are going badly.
Just row wo aro still under the
rale cf unreasoning fear. That is
going to delay recovery, until the
rays of hope which are beginning to
appear on the horizon grow brighter.
Then, as wc recover from cur fcr.r
we stall go on again, with increas
ing' hopefulness, to - another - boom,
f.nd . that . in . it3 turn will collapse
and ruin millions who havo not tem
psred the! roptlmism with caution.
That is human nature.

WATCH YOUR HEATING UNITS
We are inclined to think of the
stove as being merely a common
place ,unlt in tho home. We are
rather unprepared to find it and Its
larger brother, the furnace, as well
as boilers and their pipes, listed as
a major cause of fire loss. Accord
ing to the Acturial Bureau of the
National Board of Fire Underwrit
ers, the national less from this cause
amounted to almost $8,500,000 in
193X.
Research work of tho National
Board indicates that many of the
losses resulted from the installation
of sub-standard heating equipment.
Another scriou3 cause i3 the placing
of stoves or furnace3 too close to
n.irtltions or ceilinK3 composed of
burnable m aterial; agtyin, smoke
pipes, which become very hot, are
often installed too near combustible
material. Careless maintenance of
heating equipmentalso accounts for
numerous disastrous fires.
The National Board recommends a
few simple safety precautions which
anj'one can take at once:
1. Clean soot from the stove or
furnace.
2. Take down the smokepipe, re
move soot: also clean soot from bot
tom of chimney.
3. If the smokepipo has holes
rusted or worn in it, replace with a
new pipe.
4. Install this pipe so that it will
not bo nearer than two feet to any
burnable material; if this is not pos
sible, cover tho compustible material
with asbestos.
5. Sections of partitions, ceiling
or beams which aro too close to hot
parts of stove or furnace should be
covered with asbestos.
C. Replace all broken or worn
parts of the heating equipment.
7. Use common sense in operating
tbe heating system. In cold weather,
if you force the fire, watch it closely
so that the furnace will not become
overheated.
:o:
THE AMERICAN SPARROW
It Is commonly called the English
sparrow, but the appellation is some
thing of a misnomer. Like the rest
of us, it has been pretty well Amer
icanized. Descended from those Pil
grim sparrows of an earlier day, it
has been assiduously reproducing its
kind on this continent until the in
numerable" successive -'generations
have all -but erased the European
strain. We believe the so-called Eng
lish sparrow may with entire justi
fication lay proud claim to being
fcr all general purposes a 100 per
cent American.
The sparrow is the real go-getter
of the feathered kingdom perhaps
we would better say republic now.
It is not a very large bird, but what
it lack3 in size it more than ade
quately makes up for in numbers.
There are literally lot3 of sparrows
in thi3 country and we presume the
same is true of other countries. Spar
rows can hold their own about as
successfully as anybody we know of.
They aren't afraid of robins, crows,
hawks, cardinals, martins or blue
jays and have been known to gang
a squirrel with no inconsiderable suc
cess.
Sparrows aren't very successful
singers and yet they sing AT singing
more than almost any other bird.
Tho fact that they couldn't carry a
tune in a sack doesn't seem to per
turb them in the least. As a matter
of fact, a sparrow Is not easily em
barrassed. He i3 a rugged individual
ist in the truest sense of tho word
and would a3 Eoon turn on hi3 own
mate as his meanest enemy. A rpar
row shows no quarter where hi3 per
sonal liberty Is concerned, and If ne
nasn t as much personal liberty as
he feels his position entitles him to,
he will make some for himself.
A sparrow has no inhibitions. He
doesn't know the meaning of the
word or, if he does, doesn't seem to
care, no 13 an extrovert in every
sense of tho word. He can't sing, he
isn't big, he isn't pretty to look at,
he io mossy and nobody likes hii-i
very much, yet ho probably is the
happiest of all birds, for he doesn't
seem, to care for rympatby. Doesn't
seem to need it. Nothing discourages
him, nothing really frightens him,
nothing carts him down. You can't
shame him. He doesn't try to live
beyond his means, keep up with the
Joneses or malro psople believe ho is
something ether than he is.
We have confined the above re
marks to the male rparrow, but it i3
all true and more cf his female
consort. Sex makes very little dif
ference either with or to a sparrow.

APPLYING CRIMINAL
LAW IN WALL STREET
From tho political standpoint, it
is evident that' if the republicans
thought to explode all the firecrack
ers In the financial situation before
Roosevelt took office, so that a dem
ocratic "expose" of bad conditions In
and around Wall street could not
amount to much, they only partially
accomplished the! rpurpose.
The arrest of Charles E. Mitchell
for cheating out of hi3 income tax
and of Horace C Sylvester, jr., for
paying out bank funds Irregularly
(a technical forgery charge) indi
cates that tho administration is In
no wise discouraged.
Leaving tho .possible political mo
tives to others, it can certainly be
said that other adequate motives are
easy to find for going after these
men under the criminal laws. After
all, paying 10 thousand dollars or so
secretly to the manager of the Port
of Sew York authority at a time
when the bank concerned was inter
ested in selling tho bonds of that
port authority is a shady lookin
deal. And, after all, faking a sale of
securities to escape income taxes has
not been really allowed by the sus
picion that it has been not infre
quently resorted to.
Getting a little higher ethic into
the higher financial quarters is a per-
fert legitimate aim. And if in the
process it reduces the smugness and
arrogance of a few individuals who
but r. few short years ago were
thumbing their nose3 at the United
States government, because they con
sidered themselves beyond it3 reach,
so much the better.
Finally, though thi3 is Incidental
to the main thing in these prose
cutions, the revelation by govern
ment representatives that Charles E.
Mitchell, boss of a great bank, took
in personally in 1929 almost a mil
lion and a quarter dollars In salaries
and something over a million and a
quarter dollars in profits from sales
cf stocks and bonds emphasizes again
the incompatability of being at the
same tim ea trustee of other people's
money and a seller of stocks to those
same people for a profit a gigantic
profit.
The dual role was sweet whils it
lasted, but that sort cf thing is not
going to be possible hereafter. Des

WAR NEEDS RECRUITS
AND TAXPAYERS TOO
Our calmest analysis of conditions
in Europe dees not cause U3 to ap
prehend war over there at this junc
ture. Continental statesmen may be
thinking of unavoidable war, but in
England the young people have other
ideas. "Resolved. That this house
will in no circumstances fight tor
its king and country," declared the
Oxford union by a vote of 275 to 153
and a few days later the Manchester
University union resolved that it,
too, would refuse to jeopardize itself
for any such objects, the vote being
371 to 1S6. Admittedly, tho major
ity might change its mind if Eng
land were invaded by a foreign foe.
Nevertheless the resolutions show a
change of sentiment from the Jingo
days when England sang: "We've
got the sbips, we've got the men,
we've got the money, too," and the
university crowd were among the
loudest, chanters.
As we see it at this hour there
is much less likelihood of a first
class war in Europe than the news
paper correspondents who move coun
tries on the map like checkers on a
board ccem willing to believe. A
highly nervous condition does exist;
it often does as spring comes, and the
strain of winter seem3 almo3t un
bearable. But tho nazis seem to be
workinrr off their spleen to withdraw
their reinforcements from tho vicin
ity of Danzig, the French make light
cf revolver shot?, on the east bank
of the Rhine, Mussolini welcomes the
British premier in the name of peace,
and Heir Goebbel3 says the epposi
tion nrer,3 in Germany may criticize
tho government to it heart's con
tent, provided it doesn't say anything
critical.
In short, the moment somebody an
nounced tho fnovitnhilitv cf war. all
the nations got busy to insure peace.
for the very good reason that every
last one cf them knew that its people
wouldn't fight; and today a profes
sional army U not tho least use in a
first-clas3 war unless there 13 a sup
ply of willinc rprruits and a still
greater cupply of willing taxpayers
In Europe there is neither. De

FARM RELIEF
The purpose of tho farm relief
which President Roosevelt ha3 asked
congress to adopt is, as we under
stand it, to raise the prices of farm
products by reducing tho volume of
production.
We believe that Is a sound prin
ciple. We are only concerned about
the practicability of accomplishing
It.
It is the fact that the farms of the
United States havo been for years
producing more of the principal
staples, cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco,
beef, pork and dairy products, than
the people of tho United States could
readily consume. We havo been de
pendent upon tho export market for
the sale of these surplus products.
The export market has been steadily,
and as we believe, permanently
shrrlnking. Nation after nation has
got itself back to the position where
Its own farms can supply its own
needs.
It is absurd for farmers to com
pete with each other in the dene-otic
market. But that Is what it comes
to when they grow more than the
market demands. We had hoped that
the co-operative marketing plan
which was the basis cf the farm
board's creation, might work out to
induce our farmers, to null together
instead of apart; but as yet there has
been no such progress mads a3 to
justify the hope thct American farm
ers will ever be anything but inde
pendent individualists. That is in the
true American tradition, a tradition
of upstanding indc-per.der.ee which j
makes It impossible to apply in t'i:3
country such rcctrie'lor.:; aa are
placed upon rrcGUc'.lon in ether coun
tries, however beneficial they may be
to thcfarmcr.
The principle ir.vcivc:! in th? pres
ident's plan 13 a new and untried one,
the principle of paying the farmer
for not roducing, in order that all
farmers may get a higher price for
the limited amount they do produce.
As Mr. Roosevelt himself cdmit3, it
may r.ct wcrk; but there era many
who bclievo that it will work, and if
its administration docs not take any
more cash out of tlio poc':et3 of tax
payers but instcr.d result 3 ii collect
ing tho amount paid to the farmers
from the processors ard handlers of
farm products, it mcy accomplish the
purposo of restoring tho farmers'
purchasing power.

A THREAT TO Y1TLL PROJECTS?
The halting of new contracts for
inland waterways work is explained
by army engineers at Washington
and by Senator Robinson, Eemccrntic
leader, as a temporary expedient,
pending the fomulction cf tho ad
ministration's iro-i on unem
ployment. Couple! with similar ac
tion on federal highway construction
and public LuIUIlng?, cueh a move,
however, naturally tends to create
anxiety, especially in a section that
would be affected in r. vital manner
were a policy cf this kind to be ex
tended over any considerable period;
above all, to becomo permanent.
If the admlr.I-tration aim simply is
to allow time for the working out
of a general program of public im
provements, incorporating the re
cruiting camp and reforestation
plans, it can be reaily understood.
But if there is contemplated a with
drawal of funds from waterways,
public buildings, highways and ether
needed and mciitor'ous projects, in
order to fnai.cs tho reforestation
and allied undertakings, then tne
issue becomes rcricu indeed.
A3 fcr employment, the projects
already authorised cr far advanced
toward completion are of particular
value. On the fl.'srouri river alone
there is, cr : hcrl'.y v ;!! be, part time

REBRASKA BASKET FACTO ST
"IF' IN THE PAGES OF HISTORY
"If," says Albert Payson Terhune,
writing in the Elks Magazine, has
dono mcro to change tho course of
history's wayward currents than all
of tho forces of man rolled together.
Here aro some of hi3 own best ones:
If Thomas Edison, when a poor
i nswby. hadn't been hit over the
I ears ? a cranky brafceman tor steal
ing a rmo on a train, he wouian t
have been deaf. If he hadn't been
deaf, he would not have perfected
the phonograph.
If Napoleon'3 map-maker had not
formed the habit of scamping his
work, he would have drawn tho line
indicating the sunken road at Water
loo and tho French emperor would
have carried the day.
If the mother of Georgs Washing
ton had net been stricken with a
sudden hysterical whim Just as her
son wr.s leaving to join tho British
navy, the father of his country would
probably have been a British naval
officer.
If a bullet had swerved by a very
few inches in 1914, when a crazed
ftudent aimed at an Austrian grand
duke, perhaps there would have been
no world v.ar.
If Patrick Henry had not been too
lazy to make a success cf hi3 grocery
stor?, he would not have turned to
statesmanship and stirred the nation
with his oratory.
If Major Andre hr.d been content
!to wait for his boat to ccmo back to
its moorings at West Pcint, or if he
had chosen some ether land route
to New York, cr if he had had the
scr.ro to keep Ms mouth shut instead
of babbling needlessly whan ho met
three card players along tho road
the United States probably would be
a British province today. As it was,
he wa3 captured and Benedict Arn
old's treason was discovered and Am
erica was saved.
:o:
FC?. RECIPROCITY NOW
"Barkis is willin " 13 the attitude
of tho Canadian government in re
gard to trade reciprocity with the
United States. When a proposal for
such an agreement recently was ad
vanced in the house of commons at
Ottawa, Premier Bennett declared
that the dominion was ready to en
ter into a definite bargain with the
United States; but he insisted that
the first move must ccme from Wash
ington, not from Ottawa. His state
ment for a reciprocal trade treaty
was applauded by high-tariff con
servatives and moderate-tariff liber
els.
In the last few years there h
been a real decline in trade between
Canada and the United States, an
tho loss has been felt as much on
this ride of the border as In Canada
Since the proposal cf the Taft ad
ministration in 1911 for such an nd
justment cf trade relations was turn
cd down by the Canadian people at
a general election, Washington ha
been somewhat chilly toward sini
ilar proposals. However, conditions
have so greatly changed in the last
few yenrs that Washington now
may give a warm welcome to the
Canadian "Barkis," formerly this
country's best customer. Indeed It Is
aid that President Roosevelt will in
vite Premier Bennett to Washington
to discuss the possibilities of a rc
ciproeal trade agreement. Buffjlo
