' SAY RAIL AGENTS Steady, substantial Improvement In business conditions In Oregon and throughout the western states as re flected In the business of the Illinois Central system was .the optimistic message . brought to Medlord this week by H. J. Nelson, general agent, and J. B. McLauhglln, commercial agent, of that well known railway system. Mr. Nelson and Mr. McLaugh lin especially noted the increased confidence on the part of the people of this state In the rapids recovery of western business and Immediate Improvement in tourist travel, one of Oregon's major Industries. The attitude of eastern and mid western business men in the present economic situation was revealed by L. A. Downs, president of the Illi nois Central system. In comment ing upon the present conditions of the railroads, Mr. Down said: "Adversity bas been a stern task maker, and It has caused the rail roads to exert themselves to meet present conditions. Service has been Improved In many ways. Bates have been materially reduced. Great econ omies have been effected. - With the railroads It has been a case of for getting the past, looking at the pres ent, and looking to the future, and I cannot offer a better formula than that for the attitude which the pub lic ought to have toward the rail roads." Concerning the farm situation, Mr. Downs had this to say: "The farm situation concerns a large part of our population. Mil lions of our people are engaged In agricultural pursuits, and other mil lions are normally occupied In sup plying them with such of their needs as they do not produce themselves. An Improved outlook for agriculture, therefore, constitutes one of the most Important signposts of Improve ment that we can have for the coun try as a whole. Crop prospects ore generally good throughout the Mls lppl vails jr. Prices of grain, cotton and livestock have advanced. Prices of most of the things t&at farmers nave to buy have declined. These favorable developments promise an Improvement In the farm situation, and already there Is evidence of that Improvement being realized." Mr. Downs offers this reason why conditions should be greatly im proved: - "Adjustments have bad to be made and have been made. Business ev erywhere .has economized pust as In dividuals have done. One way to look at It U that we have -used this period of comparative Inactivity to repair our machinery of . production and distribution and put It In con dition better to meet the demands that are sure to be placed upon It when business Improves, as It cer tainly will. When our economic ma chinery gets Into full operation again I think we are going to find It run ning more smothly than ever before. "Comparing the situation In 1032 with that In 1020, there are many reasons to look with Increased con fidence for business aclvlty. We .have in this country today a larger popu lation than we had three years ago, and every member of our Increased population bos the same wants and desires and at least equal ability end opportunity to satisfy them as our 1029 population had. In many lines of business stocks which were in existence three years ago have been depleted or wiped out entirely. There has been a very great letdown In construction work of all kinds. All these things go to make a great reservoir of consuming demand which awaits only the Indication that bet ter times are ahead to exert Its In fluence upon business. The princi pal thing that Is needed to tap this reservoir Is a balanced stabilization of prices. Recent' developments seem to Indicate that such stabilization Is at hand. If that Is the case, there la promise of Increased activity In many lines of business. "Some of the moat promising as sets for business recovery are intan gible, difficult of measurement and not easy of expression. Among such intangibles I would place the new splrtl of frankness, self-examination, admittance of error, which has grown up among business men." B. P. W. Club Dinner Large, Festive Affair A Very successful event of last eve ning was the dinner of &e Business and Professional women's club, held at the Hotel Med ford, In the small dining room, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion In au tumn leaves, candles and Michael mass daisies, which were used for banking the corners of the dining ball and In large basket bouquets. Mrs. May belle Church, Instructor of English at the Junior high school, addressed the meeting on the advan tages of having memberships In wo men's organizations. She spoke on the 10-year objective of the National Federation of Business and Profes sional Women's Olubs, which will be taken up In study groups locally. The objective is for education of women along various lines, particu larly taxation and economics. Mrs. H. D. McCaakey spoke on the work of operating a humane society and brought out the difficulties met through thoughtless, unstudied leg islation. Mrs. A. J. -Hanby spoke on the conservation of provisions and sup ples for the unemployed, bringing out the methods used In accumula tion of commodities and ways and means of distribution. The local club went on record as disapproving use of a dole system In distribution of commodities, stating that all commodities distributed should be for labor performed. A suggestion was offered that a community kitchen might be plan ned to advantage by using up the surplust from various restaurants. Mrs. Edwlna We lshaar, president of the club, presided and the splen did program presented was arranged by Mrs. Maud Chapman, committee chairman, assisted by Mrs. Welehaar and Mrs. Thompson.
