.THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Business Slump Blamed for Higher Suicide Toll

THE heaviest suicide rate In the history of Indiana is believed due to the unemployment situation and business depression on the basli of figures revealed by H. M. Wright, director of the state bureau of vital statistics. During the first nine months of 1930 there were fifty-four more suicides than during the sasne period of 1929, the toll rising from 410 to 464, an increase of 11.31 per cent. Suicide always is one of the tragedies of depression periods, and although the figures do not show the ratio between men and women, previous statistics on that point have shown that men are far more likely to end their lives because of financial difficulties, than are women.

FAILURE TO USE HEADS BLAMED FOR DEPRESSION Pursue Professor Describes Causes of Business Slackening. By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 15. America has "hard time” periods because her citizens fail to use their heads. This was the explanation of the existing business depression advanced by Professor Robert Phillips of Purdue university, in an address before one hundred civic leaders who attended a “business confidence” week banquet sponsored here by the Lions Club. Following every “hard times’’ experience coming at intervals of ten years, this nation repeats the process of overinvesting and overproducing until the reaction of its intemperate commercialism brings another marketing relapse, said Professor Phillips. Then, he declared, the people go to the other extreme of becoming panic-stricken and stop buying, with the result that manufacture stops and men are thrown into the slough of unemployment. Recalls Other Panics “Depressions are not new to the people of the United States,” he said. “Our forefathers followed the same program we are pursuing and had the same difficulties in which we now find ourselves. The worst panic in American history came in 1837 during the administration of President Andrew Jackson. Two more followed at ten-year intervals. The Civil war caused the next one to come six years behind schedule. More money panics followed in 1/193, 1903 and 1914. yhe World war came, at this period to split the cycle and the .next serious depression cam© in 1920. Ten years have seen recovery, an unprecedented perjod of prosperity and scientific advance and now another depression. Believes Upturn Near “We will soon be past it. The year 1931 will be a year of record recovery. The year 1932 will bring exceptionally good times that will continue four additional years. “But look out for the years 1937 and 1938. If we go to extremes as we have done in past prosperity climaxes, we will plunge the nation into ‘black times’ in 1939 and 1940. We must not overproduce nor overinvest in production if we expect to keep i: idustry balanced. “The greatest need at this time is immediate spending for things that we need. The public has caught up with production. The time is ripe to resume buying and manufacturing. Good times will return at an early date and will continue for many years to come if we will only refrain from excesses and artificiality in investing and producing.” PROFITS TO COME FIRST Slot Machine Maker Willing to Take Chance With Law, Bu United Press WARSAW, Ind., Nov. 15.—Profits to be made out of slot machine operation warrant what chance there is df confiscation and destruction of the equipment, in the belief of Paul Harris, Ft.
