TRY COMPROMISE ON TARIFF Coalitionists and Regulars In House May Agree on Rell Call in : ' Disputed Items c ~ Coalitionists and regulars in the house entered into negotiations Tuesday for a new compromise on the tariff bill. i With both democrats and western i Republicans demanding separate votes on the 16 schedule in the bill passed by the senate Monday administration Republicans indicated a willingness to meet them .half way by allowing 'house roll calls on some controver-

sial items. S Chairman Snell of the rules committee which will decide what procedure is te be followed in dealing with the senate measure said he has not yet made up his mind, He indicated however he is willing to gran& separate votes on some items. When the tariff bil] was originally before the house, Snell suggested a rule providing for separate votes onh sugar, lumber, cement and brick but it was decided at a party caucus to vote on thebill as reported from the wayvs and means committee without considering separate schedules. : lep. Ramseyer (Rep.) of lowa farm blce leader and Democratic Leader Garner expressed confidence that a satisfactory arrangement could be worked out. ) :

What the western Republicans want particularly is a chance to adopt the senate rates on building materials, which are lower than those passed by the house. By approving the senate rates on these items they would be removed from the trading when the bill goes to conference. They also wish to make final the senate’s farm rates, which- are somewhat higher than those passed by the house,

The Democrats want a chance to express themselves officially on all the senate -rates. Such expressions would make campaign material for next fall. ‘ j

The western Republican and Democrats have a big club in the farm debenture and non-flexible provisions of the senate bill. Unless they get their way on rates they are in a position to threaten a formidable combination, supporting these administractive features if the conference committee later appeals as expected to the house and senate for further instruction. Snell expects to have a rule for tariff consgideration ready by next Monday. Meanwhile private conferences will go on in an effort to reconcile all factions to whatever plan the rules committee proposes. The bill was formaly received by the house but no action is expected at least until Monday. = 2 The- senate meanwhile recessed for a week until next Tuesday.

Rum Industry Big Business

The bootleg industry in the United States has entered the realm of big business with millions of dollars invested in distilling equipmerit according to federal prohibition officials.

While authorities refused to estimate officially the investment in the bootleg industry they said there are hundreds of alcohol and moonshine plants worth from $lO,OOO to $50,000 now being operated illicity. '

“The modern moonshine racket is a big business’ prohibition commissioner J. M. Doran said “There might be as much as a half a billion dollars invested in it and there might not. It is merely a guess. ' “In January we seized 1,673 stills, the majority of which were turning out alcohol from white and corn sugar.” ; ; "

: Business Better, Easy money, warmer weather and increased optimism over the future contributed to further gains in business the past week, according to reports from federa] reserve centers. Unemployment conditions, described as poor several weeks ago, have taken a turn for the better. The most promising indications of trade revival was the heavy offerings of new securities by industrial concerns, railroads and public utilities. ‘Watch the Crystal’s programs. ;

IAL ITIE o THE QUALITIES - OF LEADERSHIP Rl ; By JOHN G. LONSDALE President American Bankers , Association , Leadership and success, in a general way, are synonymous. They are both founded upon simple codes of

thought and action, upon the realization that he who wins the laurels must be a doer, not a waiter, that application of energy, not time or luck, is what -counts most. A rabbit's foot is a ‘poor substitute for horse sense. Both success and leadership, if

£4 e o RN 00, o, T R e X s e e&é .*.siq,\f}'v&;_'xuv R e S e 4 T & P % it e R SRR "-. R ;s R s PR John G. Lonsdale

they be of the highest quality, are the result of service to humanity. Service has been aptly described as “the supreme commitment of life.”” Analyze the lives and times of all great leaders of history and you will find that those whose names are enshrined in the hearts of their counirymen are those who sought to render a needed service to the populace. 4 Leadership, like success, need not, however, be international or national to achieve great results. There is room for each of us to be a leader in his community, in his work, in his church, and in various organizations. . One of the indispensable qualities of leadership is the ability to persist steadfastly in the face of discouragements, If George Washington had not possessed the quality of persistence, ‘he and his soldiers would never have survived the hunger and privations which were theirs at Valléy Forge. ~ We have too many young men and young women these days saying a job cannot be dome. Too -many spend their time explaining why a thing can’t be done, instead of saying, with firm resolve, that it can be done, and then going out and doing it. Anything that ought to be done is capable of being done. And anything worth doing at all is worth doing well. The fellow who handles a -little job in a big way is always on the road to greater flelds. ey :

SECTIONS WHERE 4 SAVINGS DECREASED A regional analysis of the drop in the nation's savings deposits in banks, a 8 recently reported by the American Bankers Association’s Savings Bank Division in its' annual compilation for 1929 showing the first recessionm in national savings in the twenty years during which it has published this data, reveals that all sections except the -New England and the ! Pacific States groups recorded losses. .~ The published figures showed that on June 29, 1929, the total savings deposits in banks and trust companies of continental United States stood at $28,217,656,000, which was $195,305,000 befow the similar total for 1928, when _there was an increase of $2,300,000,000. The regional —analysis by state - groups discloses, however, that the six. New England states as a group gained

more than $88,800,000 in eavings and 152,984 In savings depositors, while ‘ the seven ,Pacific states as a group gained over §579,000,000 in deposits and nearly 278,000 in number of depositors. The gains in these two sec- _ tlons, however, were smaller than the gaine recorded there for 1928. The " sections which showed losses are the ‘Middle Atlantic States, Southern BStates, East Central States and the “Waest Central States. ; _ Killed by Interurban, - 1 _Gordon Buell, 2, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Buell, near Fort Wayne died in a hospital from injuries sustained when he was rin down by an interurban car. - g .

i Unmeasured Winds The strongest winds are those of tam'uoeiaand hdve never been meas‘ured. Plausible estimates based on the effects of these storms run up to 400 or 500 miles an hour in some cases. The strongest winds even measured instrumentally blew at the summit of Mount Washington, N. H., January 11, 1878. The indicated velocity was 186 miles an hour, but certain necessary corrections reduce this to about 140 miles an hour.
