"WHAT YOU CAN DO"
(.; Under that title Samuel Crowther -tells the readers of ithe
ladies' Home Journal ;how they can help restore prosperity,
fie says that all about us are people who hope for better
(times butdp1iiojtidaa thing to, bring thorn-bout; that pr.os
iperity is a composite resulting from the actions of human
tboings as a whole; and that if the majority of the people
pre -negative if they merely stand and wait the com
iposHe wilhbe minus, but ifeach be doing what he can, the
composite is bound to be plus. : 'iua:- y.. , . . ,
&..We can,prpfit,;by.;that advices right here in La Grande.
Some of us are inclined to think that there is nothing to .do
but t wait until the lumber mills open up again and the rail
road puts its full force back to work. Of course' we can
nevemegain real. prosperity untij those things are brought
to. pass,,, bpt we. must realize that upon us,. the .citizens of
La Grande, and millions -of pthei: people just Jike ois, depends
the return of good times. Conditions will not improve until
we actually do something to make them improve.
The, recovery of the .lumber business will do more, than
anything else to boost La Grande, and we, can help to hasten
its recovery.. Let's Jook over pur houses ; perhaps never again
will; we be able to' alter, repair, or modernize our homes at
such j low prices as are now offered us. If you have .been
intending to build a new home, there's no time like. the pres
ent. v.And Jtnoney spent in these ways , is the safest, most
profitable investment available. One thousand dollars spent
in. building or remodeling right now will be jworth $1,500, or
jtaore when rvalues return to normal. Can you afford to turn
down, such an, opportunity?
i,.. Among other .things Crowther suggests the following
methods of helping to restore normal living and buying-
which, means, propspority.. Remember that most -people's
incomes have not fallen nearly as much as the cost of living,
anoY those people can now live better, than eveiv Cuy real
bargains in. goods clothing, furniture, non-perishabte
foods,, anything for which you will have future need; you
will profit by hoarding goods, but you are bound to lose by
hoarding money. If you must go into debt in order to take
advantage of . a real bargain oivrnlae a, real improvement,
don't be afraid; to do so. If you, have any surplus money,
put.it to wgrk; buy a good real estate. mortgage, a good bond,
a. good flividend-paying stock, an annuity to protect your old
age. a life insurance policy, or a summer cottage or camp.
Stop worrying.. y. . , . . . ..V ' ;; m '1 o ;
HvBy. practicing that program the people can surely and
steadily , improve the, general business conditions of the na
tion;; Generally, improved conditions will restore tho rail
roads , to their normal activity, and more meir will be; put
to work- in the La Grande shops. Everything depends ;iipon
the attitude of the people.. .This is no timo for Mstanding and
waiting." Are you helping?
t V i.,., CAN'T BEAT ADVERTISING ,
When a salesman, tells you that his firm does not spend
fmoney for advertising but puts that niuoh more value into
thd product, ho is making a misleading statement. : v; , h
-;If u firm dues not spend :muney for advertising it shyply
does not have the money to put into the product. There is
;iio way a film tan beat avcrtising. , : . . ..! ... ... . is,,,?
Time :aftcr.timo.it .has been proven beyond a doubt that
wisely usod.advortiiiing. actually lowers the cost of a product
to the consumer. . ., , ,:. ;vi
; On the other, hand, Jion-advertised merchandise ; is so
limited in distribution that its makers have to charge more
for each unit in order to make a profit. ...... f'. '
So always, remember that non-advortised products cost
more in money, or give less in value, than widely advertised
goods. . ' " ' '

Say:
THE MARKET UOl'NCEH L'P
Stock market prices climbed sharp.
ly at the end of last week. Why?
The stock market, clearing house for
purchases and sales of stocks of
American Indue trial concerns, Is skit
tish and bounds up and. down with
me general psychology of the coun
try. Ho one con ever Bay for cer
tain Just why the market goes up
or why it goes down. It Just does
The reason It does Is, that people
suddenly decide they want to sell,
or that they want to buy. If the
selling Impulse equals the buying
impulse, there is little change. If
there are mjore sales offers than
there are buying offers, prices slump,
If there are more buying .offers, or
lots of them, prices go up. Find out
Why people want to buy or why they
want to sell, and you know why the
market goes up or down. ,
Ordinarily a sharp movement In
ono direction or the other Is trace
able to some happening.
The sharp upturn of last week may
have been due to the passage of the
federal reconstruction finance1, pro
gram and the beginning of opera
tions under that plan. It may have
been due to the administration's pro
posal to liberalize 1 federal reserve
banking rules. It may have been
due to the' fact that Henry Ford
has at last published the details of
the type of new automobile he is
going to put on the market, thus
putting new life In the automobile
world. ,- '
The upturn might have been, due
to, any of Jhoso things but It was
perhaps the result of all of them.
It 1b generally .agreed that $ took
prices ore low but buyers are more
concerned with . earnings statements
now than' they are with prosperity
news. When the general tone of
the . operating statements Is favor
able,' that is, when earnings become
stabilized, the market will show a
favorable reaction of a more stable
nature. The "favorable news' re
actions do noi come because stocks
are more valuable, but they come
because people think they ore go
ing to be more -valuable as soon as
the good news Is translated Into In
creased earnings. But before such
earnings actually appear, discourag
ing news may scare the speculators
Into selling, resulting In market re
actions downward. '
t
Through all of the ups and downs
of speculation runs a definite trend.
The definite trend Is based on actual
values and upon actual earnings..
Well diversified Investments In. com
panies which arc showing consistent
and reasonable earnings, and which
show a -consistent and reasonable
valuation of property may bo made
at present price levels with confi
dence. Purchases motivated by hope
of speculative profits are no safer
now than at any other time.- Rose

. PASSING OF LAMOK BANKS
The first of the labor banks,
owned and operated by organized la
bor, was the Mount Vernon Savings
bank, established In 1020 by the In
ternational Association of Machin
ists, Other labor unions followed
the example, until the peak was
reached In 1026 with 30 labor banks
with a total capital of $0,310,600 and
resources of $120,533,542. Since then
thero has been a steady procession
of failures, and on Dec. 31,, 1031,
there were only 10 labor banks left
and several since have closed their
doors.
The Invasion of the field of capital
by labor for the purpose of giving
lubor an increasing voice In manage
ment and control of industry was
one. of tho delusions of the Inflation
era. Loudly heralded as a solution
of lobor problems, the scheme of
"labor capitalism" has proven a fail
ure. It has not accomplished Us
purpose, simply because of Its busi
ness aspects. The banks were run
for profits, as other banks were and
not for cooperative benefits. They
orcoted political quarrels and, fac
tionnl disputes within the unions, for
place, power and privileges within
theoo enterprises, causing domoral
t?.ntion and Interference with effi
cient management.; .
, A few of the labor banks, sucb as
established by the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers, not affiliated with
tho Federation of Labor, have weath
ered the financial storm because they
have been, like successful European
labor banks, cooperatively run for
the benefit of members along so
cialistic lines, avoiding the illusions
and dangers that accompany "labor
capitalism." They concentrate on
support of cooperatives In production
and distribution, of unions, on labor
education and publications, on co
operative apartments for working
people through loans and to tenant
owners, etc.
auch banks are difficult to estab
lish In the United States because of
the survival of the spirit of Indi
vidualism Inherited from tho pio
neers. .Labor solidarity and coopera
tion aro weak. The philosophy of
Individualism which obsesses the
people promotes a separatist psychol
ogy rather than a cooperative. And
this Is tho reason also for tho failure
of most of our farmers and producers
cooperatives, especially . when fi
nanced from the top, like those sub
sidised by the farm board. The lat
ter mo operated for the salaries and
emolument Instead of for coopera
tive benefits, as in Europe. Salem
Capital Journal, , i
Wo trust that the clash between
Secretary Hurley and Senator King,
cf Utah, In which the secretary
walked out on the committee, say
lug he refused to stny and be called
a liar, will focus tho attention of
tho country on an abuse that has
sprung up In this country of the
senatorial Investigation. The senate
is always Investigating somebody and
we do not recall a single investiga
tion in the past 10 years that has
not had as it main object the pur
pose of putting somebody In a hole
politically or making political medi
cine. Senatorial Immunity is abused'
shamefully. The object of senatorial
immunity as drained by the consti
tution was to make It possible for
congressmen to tell the truth with'
out danger 'pf persecution In the
form of libel suits. 1 But; els ' ft now
works out, the senate rna-y and does
libel And accuse everybody It chooses
and the accused has no recourse. If
there Is any amendment needed to
the constitution. It Is one to require
Investigation -to be conducted as Ju
dicial proceedings are and to require
that congressmen be liable the same
as common citizens tor their abuse
of free speech. The attacks senators
have made upon 'the reputations, of
private citizens are little short of a
national scandal. -Corvall is Gazette

BUNKUM. ON THE It A WO '
' Weary radio listeners will be' lh
terested to know that two bills have1
been Introduced in congress to, cut
down on the high-pressure advertis
ing talks which clutter up most
broadcasts.
' One bill would merely eliminate
commercial talks from Sunday pro
grams. The other, much more dras
tic, would prohibit any announcer
from indulging in any sort of adver
tising talk except the bare statement
that "this program Is .sponsored by
the Zilch Company."
The goal at which this measure
alms Is all to the good. The ordin
ary radio fan. undoubtedly, -would
heave a terriilc .sigh of relief If the
bunkum and blah could be cut out
of supposed ".entertainment" broad
casts. The only question seems to
be whether, as a matter of policy,
congress should act In the matter or
let the slow crystallzatJon of public
opinion force the broadcasters to act
for themselves. Eugene Register-

The bombardment was interpreted
by Japanese officers as a gesture of
defiance. . They , eaid .that the
Chinese guns hurled shells over the
Japanese consulate and the flagship

Artillery fire also was exchanged at
Klangway. ...
The only effect the Japanese Uin

expressed the opinion , that since iv
was now beyond hope to stave off the
battle the sooner It Is over the better.
The treasurer .of the international
settlement indicated the settlement
may face a sharp financial crisis as
a result of the emergency. Collection1
of taxes for the current month, he
said, have fallen 76 per cent because
of the disruption of business and the
extreme uncertainty left the majority
