Contracts F o r Public
Works Might Lessen
Business Depressions |
Earl Moser Cites Numerous
Conditions of Proposal
Releasing of contracts for largo
public works by the government
during times of business depression,
would undoubtedly tie a factor tend
ing to decrease tin* severity ot Hill'll
di pi • ions, iii tin- opinion of Karl
L. Mo r, Mssoeiate professor of
luisine,;:! . I d III i II i hI I'it f i 01) lit. till* Llli
Versily of Oregon.
\! ttie present time, a depression
m-eiii's every few years. It is not
hi-asmia 1, lull a condition marked by
a sluggish market., a slump' in the
demand for products of all kinds.
Production is Problem
This, in turn, causes a cut in fac
tor1,' production, and increases unem
ployment. Tim problem then would
bo to keep production .more nearly
level, Professor Moser stated.
' I think,” lie said, “that without
a. doubt some policy adopted by the
government for the releasing ot
public work during a period of busi
ness depression, would assist in the
problem of flattening out the busi
ness cycle.”
If state and local governments
would cooperate with the federal
government in (lie releasing of pub
lic work during a business depres
sion, the likelihood, ot* such a policy
relieving the situation would lie
greatly increased.
Cooperation Doubtful
Covernment effort would be great
ly aided if large corporations could
be induced to cooperate, but. the
likelihood of such cooperation is ex
tremely doubtful. It would be hard
to persuade large concerns to ex
tend their plants, or to continue a
capacity production during times of
depression.
There are two benefits that, would
undoubtedly lie derived from the
proposed control of public work, ac
cording to Moser.
First, it would provide work for
unemployed men, especially to tide
over the workers dropped by indus
tries because of a slump in produc
tion.
Second, it would, serve as a means
of increasing the purchasing power
of the wage earner. This in turn
would stimulate production, and de
crease unemployment.
Postponement Difficult
“I don’t think,” shirt Professor
Moser, “that such a policy would
increase the taxpayers’ burden. Ex
penditures during a depression would
mean purchasing at a reduced price
level. The dropping of the general
price level is one of the characteris
tics of a depression.”
Postponement, of public work un
til it was felt. Hint a depression
existed, would lie difficult in some
eases. However, certain projects
could easily be postponed to help
meet conditions that arise daring
periods of increasing unemployment.
