"Beery county 4n the state is

Hears Banker
Talk Economics
Blaine B. Coles Discusses
Problems of Day, Citing
Uncertainty as Cause
The Wasco Civic Club heard
Blaine B. Coles, vice president ot
the First National Bank of Port
land, last Monday night. Mr. Coles
chose as his topic some economic
questions that are uppermost in the
minds of the leaders of the nation’s
business since the depression of
1937 began.
v
He placed the responsibility for
the drop in business on the uncer
tainty that business men and others
feel towsrd the future. This un
certainty is principally about three
things, he said, naming uncertainty
about the government’s labor pol
icy, its tax policy and its fiscal
policy.
The government, like all of as,
can not live on its credit indefi
nitely and must in the near future
begin to retire, the national debt.
Some modification of the capital
gains tax and undistributed profits
tax was fore cast and the possi
bility of a national sales tax was
mentioned.
Mr. Coles said that in his opinion
something would have to be done
to amend the National Labor Re
lations Act to that employers
could have some voice In the set
tlement of Jabor troubles. The
government has nothing to say
about jurisdictional disputes such
as are hampering business in Port
land now and there is no power
to stop them except the labor un-'
ions themselves.
Despite these uncertainties * the
speaker felt that business would
be better by April as changes could
be made by that time. Bpateess
could adjust itself te any rates if
they wera hut known in advance
and were stable and not subject to
change on abort notice. Produc
tion in Oregon was good and expec-
tstins wera excellent.
The point was made that the
present depression might be a good
thing if it served to prevent a
larger catastrophy at some future
time. The revival of installment
buying that ties up the income of
producers for a long time to come
is one of the causes of depressions
and causes high inventories for a
time.
The Wasco High School glee
club girls sang several numbers
during the dinner which was serv
ed at the Sherman hotel in Wasco.
Others talked during the evening
on subjects that concerned the poli
cies of the club.
The next meeting will be held
at Moro and the subject chosen for
discussion is the power problem.
The committee is endeavoring to
get J. D. Rosa to come for ‘ the
