U. S. REPORT SHOWS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. The
earnings of tho American formers,
and consumers notably industrial
workers increased to a greater extent
than their necessary expenditures in
1913 and as a result according to tho
nnnual review of economic conditions
issued by tho federal reserve board,
savings deposits showed a larger
growth over tho 11122 total. Produc
tion and expenditures as reflected by
retails also increased and tho level of
prices was nioro nearly stable than In
any year since 1919.
Tho total value of agricultural pro
ducts advanced 00,000,u00 and the
railroads with improved facilities car
ried the largest traffic In history.
Farmers, tho board found gained.
In three ways, their crops being lar
ger, their prices being 12 per cent
higher and their expenditures for re
payment of loans being loss than in
1922, but the agricultural rocovery
was doscl'ibod as being "still Incom
plete, particularly in tho wheat and
livestock Industries."
A decline in the foreign buying of
agricultural products was more than
offset by the demand of industrial
workers.

Credit demand remained practically
unchanged during mo two years, inaun
by fodoral rcaorvo banks maintaining
a range botwoou $1,000,000,000 and

I
SEES MELLON TAX
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. Publica
tion of tho treasury tax bill, Bays a
statement by Representative Garner
of Texas. Issued by the democratic
national committee "has fully justi
fied the attitude of democratic and
western congressional leaders In re
fusing to accept the measure In ad
vnnce and without the opportunity to
scrutinize Its provisions."
A "huge organized conspiracy on
tho part of the predatory interests,"
Mr. Garner charged, "has been con
ducting a nation-wide propaganda to
commit the peoplo and their represen
tatives In congress," to tho bill before
all of its details could be made known
and has "in a largo measure appar
ently succeeded in the attempt to mis
lead the public by keeping secret
some of tho most objectionable pro
visions."
I Mr. Gnrner. who Is the ranking
' democratic membor of the house ways
and means committee, declares that
(the. "plain and convincing evidence of
I this conspiracy Is found In tho word
ing of telegrams and letters being rc
I eulved by senators and representatives
In congress which aro In Identical
languages.
Henders of these messages, ho said
"could not have known all of the pro
visions of the Mellon tax hill because
most of tho messages wcro received
I beforo tho bill was made public."
I Only through the insistence of
democratic leaders has the bill been
imado public through all Its provls
I ions, and therefore it falls to give
millions of farmers, tradesmen and
smalt businessmen generally the rolicf
they woro told thoy would get.

A Narrow 1".kci.
Shortly after the collapse of the
stage wall in which accident one man
was killed and another injured. Firo
man Charles Boussum and George
Barnum, volunteer fireman, had a
narrow escape from Injury or death by
the collapse of a portion of the re
taining wall. They had moved away
from close to this place to safety just
a second or so before.
Praise was not only heard on every
side from tho big crowd of spectators
at the fire for the work of the regu

responded out of their membership
of 24 men. Amos Willits had boon
