SCHMIDT Director of Research Administrative and Research Corporation. Trend In Business Indecisive. j While business activity of the past week remains substantially above a year ago Important indices continue to display a mixed trend. The de clining movement of the previous week in steel production Is again re peated. Petroleum production waa also slightly off. Both bank debits outside of New York and bank loans and discounts decreased. On the favorable side wi Increased bitumi nous cosl output, upward electric power production and slightly larger automobile volume. Freight ear load ings sustained the advance of last week. The administration's drive to raise commodity prices combined with im proving buying power should result in a definite upward trend in busi ness by December. Self-Hgiitnt1nn of Industry Proposed. A plan to turn back to business the reins of its administration was broached last week by one of the na tion's industrial leaders. Self-government of business and in dustry, as proposed by General Elec trics President, Gerard Swope, would be provided through a super-organization growing out of the present U. S. chamber of commerce with the federal government assuming the role of "partner" instead of "director." Supplanted would be the NRA'a functions by business own adminis trative body a national chamber of commerce and Industry. Government supervision would be retained through membership of Cabinet officers in a supreme council of American business with the likelihood of the president having the power to enforce or veto Its recommendations. Enforcement of codes already established under the NRA and the promulgation of new ones would be the primary responsi bility of industry Itself. Endorsement of the plan submit ted to the national business and ad visory council, an adjunct ot the NRA by Mr. Swope, Its chairman, was im mediately expressed by NRA'a ad ministrator, General Johnson and by Henry L. Harrlman, president of the U. 8. chamber of commerce. A move to give Industrial heads a grip on business which It lacked be fore it was organized and regimented by the government under codes ot fair practice, ts the reaction of labor to the proposal. Objections of labor might not hold If provisions are made for direct representation of labor and consumers. Dissatisfaction by business with the operation of the NRA underlies the effort to take over Its own regula tion. Agreeing with the fundamental principles of the NRA. Mr. Harrlman sounded the keynote of the move In declaring, "The government can't get anywhere policing industry any more than It could policing the 18th amendment. Business must police itself.- Organized Opposition to NRA. Creation of the National Industrial council ot the National Association of Manufacturers, cons In ting of 20 leading national trade associations, Is the first organized effort on the part of Industrial leaders to scrap certain sections of the National Re covery program. A resolution adopt ed by the group states that "indus trial codes, the uncertainty of mone tary policies, the difficulty of secur ing capital under the national securi ties act, and the disruption of pres ent relations of employers and em ployees, are creating grave problems and that unified action by American Industry Is needed to support basically sound policies of recovery." ' lecond Step Toward Currency Management. Unsuccessful efforts of last week to reduce the purchasing power of the dollar and to drive up commodity prices through RFC purchases) ol newly-mined domestic gold were bols tered by the announcement thst policy of buying gold In the world market would be adopted. The first offer to buy gold abroad waa made Thursday at a price of $33 30 per ounce which placed the domestic gold value of the dollar at $0.6407. Collaboration of the British govern ment rather than an expected prlsal was Interpreted by the raising of the British price of gold fiS cents Thursdsy to $33.11 per ounce, only 35 cents below the Amertcsn price. The London price at the close of last week was $1.38 under the RFO quo tation. Although details of plane to buy gold abroad are still closely guarded, foreign central banks the Bank of England and the Bank of France are believed to be acting as corres pondents for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which has been authorised to exchange RFC deben tures In payment for foreign gold. Purchases In Paris and London were reported in the first day's operation. Snur (a Can) tii 1 (tnmu Industries. Two quotations Jottd on a pad. ! added and divided by two, broke the deadlock last week between leading steel executives and the president on the price which railroads should pay for rails and rail lastenlngs on credit extended by the Public Works Ad ministration. The four major ateel companies charged with "collusion by Co-ordi-nator of Transportation Joseph B. Eastman agreed to the compromise price of $38 375 per ton suggested by President Rooeevelt. This Is half way between the $37.50 which they wanted and the $35 00 which the gov ernment offered. Promptly were . orders for rails placed at the new prloe. Largest of the ordere was that of Pennsylvania railroad for 100,000 tons. The Pub lic Works administration has allo cated $13&000.000 for railroad loans $61,000,000 for thi purchass of rails and fastenings and 84, 000,000 to the Pennsylvania for electrification. Prtce-l'lving tor t'ummouity mcea. Culminated last week are the de mands of agriculture for higher prices in the conference of governors of five mlddlewestem states, with the presl dent and administrative officials to work out a plan for price-fixing on wheat, corn, rye and other farm pro ducts. A processing tnx to set the price of wheat at $1.03 per bushel and corn at 4Q.75, with other commo dities priced In proportion, la Vie probable outcome. Credit Expansion Pushed. Although the government's embark ment on a new monetary policy has held the limelight of public attention during the pset two weeks, there has been no let-down In the government s credit expansion activity. A reality has become the threat of the administration to create its own institutions to finance business un less banks expanded credit. The first RFC loans of this kind announced lent week wan for 9102,000 made to the Southern Mortgage compnny of Nash ville, Tenn., organised by parties in terested in securing loans for three mercantile firms and two manufac turers. First of the large New York city banks to sell capital notes for the expansion of its capital structure was the Manufacturers Trust Compnny Issuance of $25,000,000 of capital notes to the Reconstruction Finance -orporatlon authorized last week.

Eventually It will be found If the couutrymen for whom our president Is so Impartially striv ing will give their loyal and neces sary support. Now la the time for all good citizen to come to the aid of their leader. The Medford Mail Tribune's recent editorial, entitled, "Don't Do It, Q. O, P." is a noble and heroic ex periment. It Is no longer prohibi tive to entertain an uninfluenced mental attitude nor to dare to 8lv It expression. A spade may now be termed a spade, other than in a spirit of banter. Progressive men In cut and hamlet are rejoicing la the big stride. Sometimes financial loss en sues. They are willing to take It on the chin. An excellent example of community service In Medford worthy of commendation. When en outstanding financial authority, un hesitatingly accepted the first NRA call to arms and efficiently captained the forces, it was well to take notice. Such evidence of good faith and moral courage tn a time of crisis when the very foundation of time -cherished In stitutions were being more than fig uratively rocked, by the new deal. has not been past history in the main. True interpretation of the brother hood of man Is coming into Its own. A pat on the back ts not sufficient. The nero who does not boast a medal still goes his way unlauded. but the New Era haa arrive). MRS. W. H. ANDERSON. Medford, November 6. For Selective Sales Tax. To the Editor: Your editorial, as well as the com munication of Mr. Barnes, In today'a Mail Tribune, contains some excel lent points on the subject of taxa tion, there la one very vital factor. however, that neither article seems to reckon with that Is THE ABILITY TO PAY. While so many thousands of peo ple are out of employment no general sales tax should ever be laid on the bare necessities of life. But a se lective sales tax that could be levied the more expensive articles) of clothing, highly processed foods, ex pensive automobiles, in fact, on all luxuries, if properly applied would raise the necessary revenue without working a hardship on any one. A graduated Income tax, beginning with incomes of five hundred dol lars for unmarried persons and eight hundred for those who are married, and no exemptions allowed, would produce most of the necessary funds without hurting any one badly. O. W. OOD WARD, Jacksonville, Oregon November 8. Favors Sales Tax for Farmer. To the Editor: There la no way In which the farmer can be held responsible for our present economic depression. He has made the old earth produce abun dantly. No one could accuse him of charging more for his labor than his fellow-man receives. In reality he is the worst exploited of any since he, himself, does not receive even . prevailing wage for his service. We suggest that he be allowed to con tinue, haphazard tho bis methods may be, until euch time as he be comes a publlo menace, through under production or exploitation of others. But in order for him to continue to operate he must have some real , relief. He must be relieved from the burden of Interest he ts expected to pay. The Indebtedness on farm prop erty Is appalling and can never be patd under existing conditions. The government should Issue commodity money and loan him Interest-free or at cost of administration, with which to retire these existing debts. Dou ble taxation, to which he is now sub jected should, be eliminated by using only sales tax. Relieved from these two burdens and having provided that he will no longer have to pay needless profits on the things he buys, the farmer wUl enjoy a new lease on life. When a calamity such as A pesti lence or epldemlo confronts a nation. ot when we sre threatened by aa enemy or our national dignity Is of fended, often when the property of few of our citizen In other lands la In danger, the government goes to great expense and even wages war to correct these matters. In view of which we deem It Justifiable for our government to use the means we have suggested to put an end to needless suffering and want among the ma jority of her people. BERT KARA.
