NEWS OF THE FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL WORLD

Preskjient Harding's cajl for a conference on unemployment is expected to furnish the occasion for a general consideration of business conditions. The announcement that controversial issues would be .barred may prevent discussion of> some of the most debatable matters, -such as tariff and tax policy, bpt a review of the general business outlook and the prospects for reviyal of, industry must of course constitute the staple of debate on the occasion. Although there have been many extreme reports on unemployment, careful examination of the. conditions during August seem to show that there has been but little change, and that little for the better. Hopeful Indications There are, in fact, an increasing number of hopeful indications from day to day. Chief among these continues to be the much better net revenues of the railroads. It would seem likely that the July improvement over last year would hardly be less than $75,000,000; and while for the half year the net income is by no means up to the 6 per cent level of profit named in the Transportation Act, it is so much better than had been feared that the railroad issues have been able * to maintain themselves quite well. Favorable also as an index of business conditions is the steady and early movement of many crons to market at remunerative prices. Cotton of course continues the exception as to yield, the Government’s report on September 1 pointing to a crop of littlb more than 7,006,000 bales. The early marketing movement has been furthered by the belief that farm prices as a whole will not advance very greatly while producers are- naturally desirous of getting funds with which to liquidate back debts; 1 but, whatever the cause, it naturally facilitates the restoration of buying power and curtails the burden of credit strain which would otherwise be felt. The outlook for a good fall business in many lines is still excellent. The Traction Disappointment Disclosure of the fact that the Interboro owes about $3,000,000 in unpaid obligations and has been negotiating for the extension of its $38,000,000 notes maturing September 1, was not surprising to those who have been close to the traction situation, but gave an unpleasant shock to the rank and file,of investors. The sharp fall in the price of Interboro securities was under these conditions to be expected. With a very large majority of the notes deposited under an extension agreement, however, and the comparatively small amount due creditors, there is good reason for believing that a receivership will be avoided, especially as with lower operating costs the traction companies are now >naking. a.much..mote, creditable phqw->

Problems of Industrial Issues

Whil* visiting .President Obregon a delegation of American business men representing oil companies interested in the Mexican wells now are assured of some relaxation in the unfavorable tax conditions established by past Governments in that country. The effect of the visit has therefore been to improve the market position of the oils and of shares affiliated with them at the same time that the decision of the Mexican Supreme Court is adverse to the retroactive provision of article 27 of the Mexican Constitution. This improve- 1 ment has extended itself to other departments of the market and the increase in value resulting from it has thus been considerably broadened. Industrial reports concerning the petroleum situation show an-improve-ment both- in demand and in price. Rather better conditions in the copper fields have likewise helped the value of shares in that department and there is a good expec^fttion of improvement in theip export position within the near future. Although the statement of United States Rubber showed a deficit the market had already fairly discounted the contents of the statement and the stock had been strengthened rather than re-

duced by the announcement.’ Another German Payment

Germany’s payment of $150,000,000 additional in gold marks, on August 31, shows that that country is at length applying itself to the task of meeting the reparations requirements. It is a natural consequence of this settlement that there should be an upward movement in sterling^ and francs, but such fluctuations are probably temporary. The arrival of some important British and French maturities in the hear future, as well as the apparent fact that both English and the Continental countries will have to import heavily of our staples during the coming two or three months, necessitates a strong demand for dollars, which, in the absence of some exceptional influences, should tend to raise the value of American currency relatively to that of foreign countries at lea*st a degree. The continuation of very heavy imports of gold into the'United States has now brought the estimated net gain of that metal for the first eight months of the year up to near $500,000,000. This, while it emphasizes the reserve strength of our, banking system, tends, to increase the difficulty of a restora

Mexicans Seek Settlement of Treaty Dispute

Belief Expressed Question Will Be Adjusted by Exchange of Ideas

Mexico City Sept. 8—Although an impasse apparently exists between the Mexican and United States governments on the question of recognition of Mexico, due to the Mexican government's refusal to sign a treaty of amity and commerce as a prior act, expressions of the belief are general in Mexico City that something is going on behind the scenes in an attempt to break the deadlock, but at the same time to place neither nation in the light of receding from its original position. The local newspapers, quoting both American and Mexican sources, assert that a new basis for an interchange of ideas between George T. Summerlin, the American charge d’affaires, and Senor Pani, the Mexican foreign secretary, is being established, although nothing has been given out in official quarters which would clear up the situation.

Urges Farm Boy Not To Give Up College

Falling Registration Calls Forth Statement from Dean Vivian

Mid-August registration figwres show 10 per cent more new students enrolled at the Ohio State University than were enrolled at the same time last year, but 30 per cent fewer students in agriculture. Indications are that hard times on the farms have discouraged country boys from seeking collegiate training! in agriculture. A special article on this situation, addressed directly to, the farm boys of Ohio, appears in the September “Agricultural Student”, published by students of the Ohio State University monthly during the school year. It is written by Alfred Vivian, dean of the college of agriculture. From figures gathered in Ohio by investigating- economists he shows that agricultural college training actually triples the income of’the man on the 5 land, and adds that powerful forces now at work are certain to better living conditions on the farm. i “Rightly organized country life offers more than is possible in any other surroundings,’’ the Dean de1 dares. He urges farm boys to think seriously before turning) to callings in which they have served no apprenticeship, and for which they may have no aptitude. “Ask yourself , whether the certainty and solidity of farming is not wo^th, considering, and get your education during this period depression, when your time is worth least, making ready for the next period of prosperity, which, I firmly believe, is not very remote,” he concludes.

PRINCE ALBERT, SASK. — Western Canada has become the agricultural rival of California. Thirty-five families, that had engaged in fruit raising in California, recently settled in the North Battleford district of Saskatchewan. Glen Randall who tried California after farming at Waseca has returned to Saskatchewan. “I am neither a knocker nor a booster so far as California is concerned,” said Mr. Randall. “California is all right. But I prefer Saskatchewan. In California I grew fruit. Fruit is a luxury. In Saskatchewan I grow wheat and livestock; Livestock and wheat are necessaries.

FORTY-FOUR NEW LAWS IN EFFECT TUESDAY

“Eighty thousand acres of Ohio land have been practically ruined by soil erosion. It is estimated that the Scioto River each year carries away enough Ohio soil to build a pyramid 250 feet high covering a 10-acre field. •; Soil erosion occurs in every county ? of the State, and constitutes a .ser-> ! ious problem in at least 40 counties.” Thus Virgil Overholt, extension man for the Department of Agricultural Engineering, Ohio State University, opens the September “Timely Soil Topics”, a 4-page circular issued by the Department of Soils of the university. To check this tremendous waste. Prof. Overholt suggests Manp/um or broad base terracing, much used in the South. Terraces are made with an ordinary 16-inch walking plow and a V-shaped grader or ditcher. They are made from 15 to 20 feet wide, and follow contours 1 around the hill. They cannot be used on grades exceeding 15 feet per hundred. Other means of checking erosion are suggested in the circular, which is sent out free to residents of Ohio. Damming gullies with straw is said only to start new gullies, and woven wire fencing is named as a valuable aid to damming them with brush.

Washington, Sept. 8—Secretary Mellon’s suggestions for tax revision which were abandoned by the house ways and means committee after the intervention of President Harding, will come up again today before the senate finance committee. Mr. Mellon will be on hand prepared to discuss these suggestions, the estimates as revised after the White House conference on August 9, and the tax bill as passed by the house. The senate committee completed preliminary consideration of the house measure today but decided to postpone any decision on the various changes made by the house until after the treasury secretary had been heard. Mr. Mellon said yesterday he would have no prepared statement for the committee but the senators will have before them treasury table# showing estimated revenue yields and government expenditures. Favors Postage Increase Suggestions originally presented to the house committee by Mr. Mellon, were built around an estimated lax yield requirement of approximately $3,700,000,000 next year, or some $750,000,000 more than provided by the house bill. They contemplated new sources of revenue such as a one cent increase in first class postage/ a stamp tax of two cents on each bunk check and a graduated license tax on automobiles to average ten dollars yearly for each machine, and increased levies on cigarettes, and smoking and chewing tobacco to yield an additional $50,000,000 annually. The original total tax yield as given by Mr. Mellon is approximately that which some members of the senate committee believe would, be necessary next year. Others, and particularly the Democrats are of the opinion now that approximately four billions of dollars will have to be raised from internal taxes unless the government is to face a huge deficit at the end of this fiscal year. • > - To Question Secretary In this connection some committee Democrats indicated yesterday they desired to question the secretary today as to the purpose of the authorization contained in the house measure for the trasury to issue an additional $500,000,000 in short dated securities. They desire to know, they said, whether this authority was required- by the secretary in the belief that the deficit under the house tax measure would total such a sum. SLEEPING SICKNESS GAINS
