Comment
, on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
HERB 1 a question that everybody
la asking: "What la wrong with
business, and w.hen will It recover?"
Nobody, so far. has been able to
give a satisfactory answer.
DO you remember the Mother
Goose story about the old wo
man who was leading a pig and felt
that ahe just HAD to get home by
.midnight?
She had to cross a stile and the
pig wouldn't go over. If you ever
tried to drive a pig anywhere, you
-will understand. So she called the
dog to bite the pig to make It go
over the stile.
; The dog wouldn't bit toe pig. So
she called the stick to beat the dog,
so that the dog would bite the pig
and make the pig go over the stile
ao that ahe could get home by mid
night. The stick wouldn't beat the dog.
AND ao It went through the w.hole
long rlgamarole. The pig would
not cross the stile. The dog wouldn't
bite the pig. The stick wouldn't beat
the dog. The fire wouldn't bum
the stick.
Everything and everybody had
Imply laid down on the Job. The
poor old woman was In a terrible
stew, and It certainly looked as if
ahe could never get home by mid
Bight. THEN, you will remember, SOME
THING HAPPENED. Nobody
knew Just w.hat It was that hap
pened, but whatever It was It DID
HAPPEN, and things began to move
right away.
The fire burned the stick. The
stick beat the dog. The dog bit the
pig. The pig crossed the stile. And
the old woman COT HOME BY MID
NIGHT. tJUSINESS In this country Is right
" now In the same aort of Jam
thla poor old woman was In. It has
to get back to something approach
ing normal conditions, so that there
will be a market for the producer
and employment for the laborer and
buying power for the retailer, or
we shall all be as badly off as the
aid woman would have been If she
couldn't have got home by midnight.
But nobody will do anything.
HE sheep man,1 for example, needs
to sell his wool.
But the buyer wont buy from the
producer. T.he weaver won't take
wool from the buyer. The manufac
turer of clothing won't take cloth
from the weaver. The merchant
won't take clothing from the man
ufacturer and the ultimate consumer
won't take It from the merchant.
8o there we are Just like the old
woman whose pig wouldn't go over
the Bttle. And we have to get some
where soon.
T looks bad, doesn't It?
But remember that things looked
pretty bad to the old woman, and
kept right on looking worse up to
the very point when things began
to happen. Then, suddenly, the fire
burned the stick, the stick beat the
dog, the dog bit the pig, the pig
crossed Vie stile and the old woman
got aafely home by midnight.
Something like that will happen to
stagnated business one of these days,
and when It does everything will be
gin to more sgsln.
HEN will It happen?
Cell, the late and greatly lam-
- anted Dwlght Morrow, several months
before his death, gave about aa good
an answer to that question as has
been given.
8o me body asked .him when business
would begin to Improve, and he made
this reply: "About three months be
fore anybody knows It."
11THAT Is this mysterious thing
" that will happen, to put on end
to stagnation and start everything
to moving again?
About the beat answer that can be
given to that question la this: "The
return of confidence."
That I the happening that will
turn the trick.
ITfHEN your confidence in the tut
" ure of business returns, you
will go down to the store and buy
a suit of clothes. The storekeeper
will buy from the manufacturer. The
manufacturer will buy cloth from

Resolutions Committee Is
Dominated by Roosevelt
Faction Boos and Cheers
Heard On Arguments
By D. Harold Oliver
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
CHICAGO, June 36. (AP) Con
cluding a long, blistering session over
prohibition, punctuated by cheera and
boos for a score of wet and dry ora
tors, the democratic resolutions com
mittee tonight went to work on a
tentative draft calling among other
things, for submission of the ques
tion of repeat to the atates.
Roosevelt leaders dominated the
subcommittee of nine which waa ap
pointed to draft the platform in as
brief a space as possible. They were
confident of beating down all moves
to commit the party to repeal, al
though several auch proposals were
applauded vigorously at today's ses
sion of the full provisional commit
tee. Boos and Cheers Heard
Hundreds of spectatora Jammed into
a stifling hot, smoke-filled room In
the Congress hotel to see the wet
dry show.
Boos drowned out scattered ap
plause from the galleries when Bish
op Cannon, Jr., an antl-Smtth leader
In 1928, declared for a dry plank. He
said the southern states which put
"moral principle above party loyal
ty" In bolting Smith four years ago
would do so again this year If con
fronted by a "similar Issue."
As the booing subsided. Bishop
Cannon aald: "Oh, you dont like
facts?"
"We don't like traitors either."
shouted a committeeman near the
front.
Glass-Walks Out '
.Senator Glass, of Virginia, long a
roe or the prohibition leader, walked
from the committee room as the
bishop spoke.
During a similar plea for a prohi
bition plank. Dr. Ernest H. Cherring
ton, chairman of the national prohi
bition board of strategy, was inter
rupted by Michael I (toe, Illinois mem
ber of the resolutions group, who
asked if ministers would not be bet
ter off "If they preached temper
ance In their churches and stayed out
of political conventions."
Applause greeted the question and
the drys responded likewise when Dr.
Cherrlngton replied:
"That la a matter of opinion and
there are varloua oplnlona among
our churchmen. There are those who
believe that the church'a Influence
should be used against all social evils
and if prohibition la a social evil
then certainly It la part of the
so-called gospel to fight it."
Hotels Ruined By Dry Law
Walter L. Gregory, of Chicago, rep
resenting the American hotel owners
association, asked for a repeal plank,
saying hotel operators had seen their
banquet and restaurant business pass
to "speakeaslea or clubs." .
Aa the subcommittee went to work
on the tentative platform, it became
known that aharp Issue would be
taken with republican policies on the
tariff and other economic Issues,
It was made known the tariff
plank would call for a return to the
democratic policy of lower levies and
for an International conference to
bring about tariff agreements.
The platform-bulldera were ready
to Insist upon a declaration pledging
the party against cancellations of
the war debts.

The possibility of revising the huge

hopes will result In a re-wrltten

Wagner rose In the senate to re

AUTO LICENSE IS
HELDJMPOSSIBLE
SALEM, June 36. (AP) The sug
gestion of Senator B. L. Eddy, Doug
laa county, that Governor Meier
Immediately call a special three-day.-session
of., the legislature to
enact legislation permitting automo
bile owners to pay for their vehicle
licenses on the Installment plan
cannot, In the light of all factors
concerned and the existing state of
highway department flnancea, be
given aerlous consideration. Such
was the opinion expressed by state
offlclsls connected with motor ve
hicle licensing and the highway de
partment who could be reached here
today.
Expressing regret that the plan
does not appear feasible and agree
ing that the necessity for purchas
ing licenses by July 1 for their cars
and trucks for the entire ensuing
year will probably result In several
thousand cars being placed In stor
age or sold, because the owners have
not the money with which to buy
licensee, these officials pointed out
that there are three strong reasons
why the proposal Is not practicable.
1 The state highway commission,
the operations of which are financed
largely by license fee money, has
already obligated itself for new
construction, relief work, mainte
nance and other expendlturea to an
amount 30 per cent greater than
anticipated revenues for the year.
3 Isaulng licenses for quarter
year periods, or any period of lesa
than a full year would Increase the
cost of collecting the fees two to
four times or more.
S Licensing vehicles for periods
of less than a year would make
enforcement of the license law dif
ficult and far more expensive than
at present.
Persona conversant with the prea
ent condition of highway finances
nnlnterf nut that on the strength
of revenues anticipated from the
July collection of license fees the
hlghwsy commission lsst spring sold
short term bonds in the amount of
1.000.000 to carry on emergency
employment projects, and that inese
bonds are due and payable with In
terest on October 1.
