A Busted Boom
What has become of the heralded era of prosperity,
ushered in by the election of Calvin Coolidge as president,
which sent Wall street stocks and securities booming ..nd
sky-rocketed the price of wheat? Here we are, less than
thirty days after inaugural day, with stocks at the lowest
level of the year and wheat down to what it was before we
heard the glorious election news.
No sooner had the votes been counted than prices of all
stocks began to rapidly advance until they had reached the
highest notch in years, and wheat for the third time in
fifty years climbed above the $2 mark. Thus did big bus
iness react to celebrate the defeat of Davis and LaFollette.
But the deflation has been more rapid than the inflation and
prices are sagging to pre-election basis.
All of which is proof that prosperity rests upon economic
land industrial conditions and not on politics and that the
claims of politicians that prosperity, other than their own,
depends upon their return to office, is the purest kind of
bunk.
There was nothing, outside of politics, to justify a boom
in the stock market, no increased earnings or development
in prospect to base it upon. Following election came the
depression in the textile industry with heavy wage cuts.
Then came the seasonal slump in the lumber industry, fol
lowed by the bankruptcy of the great St. Paul trans
continental railroad system. Now the bituminous coal indus
try faces collapse, all part of a delayed after-the-war
readjustment and a liquidation needed to bring down costs of
c -oration and living too long artificially inflated.
There is, however, every reason to believe that business
conditions will steadily improve during the year. A good
crop will be the main factor. Industrial production is stabil
izing itself. Building shows no sign of curtailment, and
unemployment is steadily diminishing. Politics, however, has
little to do with it.
The great Coolidge business boom is neither lost, strayed
nor stolen. It has busted.
A Course for Sissies
According to the Corvallis Gazette-Times, the public
schools of that thriving city, probably taking the cue from
the enterprising Oregon Agricultural College, have installed
a cour.se in cooki ig for boys. It remarks:
Wo lenrii iUrollKh tlio medium of the sprightly III-O.Scojic Hint Hie
Sorvnllis tnxpaycrs are conducting cooklne srhool fur boya. Many
or Hum probably did not know this. We wonder what the rounders
of 111" free educational system would think now If they could witness
the riot or money spcndlirl; In the so-called education system, that
Includes the study of everything under the sun except those things
ror which tree schools wero founded. The tnxpayers are patient.
They let the uplifters run the schools nnd they pay the bills.
Why not? The main object of schools nowadays is no
longer to provide education in fundamentals, but to amuse,
entertain and give the pupils a chance to have a good time,
f the huskies have a special instructor and specialize in
athletics, why shouldn't the sissies play at cooking? It may
be useful later when wifey becomes the bread-winner,
Courses in sewing, housekeeping and baby nursing should be
added to make course complete.
Then there are the parents and teachers to be considered
The more subjects taught, the more jobs for teachers. The
more things shoved on the schools, the more leisure for the
parents. Only the taxpayer objects and he has learned
the futility.
