WASHINGTON, Feb. 39. It la pop
ular now to say what has been wrong
with business lately la the weather.
The current eco
nomic picture is
supposed to be
right outside
your window
under the snow.
The, accepted
theory is that
few persons buy
autos when the
roads are covered
with ice. Few go
any farther than
necessary beyond
the corner gro
cery in the snow
PAL'L MALLON
and muck covering most of the Unit
ed States, off and on, during the last
sixty days.
It Is a sound theory, but the point
of it melts perceptibly in the glare
of a monthly balanced business chart.
Weather damage to one Industry has
been offset statistically by weather
benefits to another. While autos, gen
eral sales and building activity have
been hurt, coal, railroads and winter
goods have been helped.
The sum total of it Is that nature
has complicated everything, but the
net national effect is nearly negative.
To see how nature evens up, look
Into the net effect of the Improve
ment on railroads Blone.
The Increased demand for consum
er coal naturally caused the railroads
to haul more of It. but also caused
the railroads to use more of It. Their
operating expenses always Jump In
cold weather. This may explain the
Item carried the other day In a fin
ancial Journal Indicting that the net
loss of an outstanding coal-carrying
road was probably as great this Jan
uary as last, rtitplte the Increased
traffic.
' But the railroads took advantage of
the lull In auto demand for steel.
They placed a few btg steel orders
which kept the steel business from
suffering at all from the cold.
All this leaves us today Just about
where we were when the fall bulge
lifted us up lsst October. Industrial
production will average this month
about 66 per cent normal, the same
as last October. The other Impor
tant Indices are also near their Oc
tober levels, as you will see from the
following chart.
Note All figures represent percent
ages of normality existing at the
times deslgnted, with normal being
computed as the 1923-1935 averages
for everything except prices, which
are baaed on 1926. Seasonar varls
Hons have been eliminated, so that
the figures do not Indicate the vol
ume of business but only the rela
tionship of the volume to normal.

ACTION TO START

WASHINGTON, Feb. 39. (AP)
AAA offlclsls said today they were

the new fsrm relief progrsm when
President Roosevelt signs the soil
conservation - subsidy measure Into
law probably Monday.
Secretary Wsllace msde a routine
official examination of the engrossed
printing of the bill this morning.
Other officials said they expected It
to be signed within 48 hours.
The first action of the AAA Is ex
pected to be a formsl announce
ment celling regional meetings 01
farmers at Memphis. Chicago. New
Tort City, and salt lake City to
discuss details of the s500.000.000
program to retire crop land for soil
conservation.
One conclusion appesred certain
that ths new program will provide
subsidies for a considerably greater
number of Individuals than did the
AAA. but that th, average amount
of payments will be somewhat
smsller.
It was emphasised by some offlc
lsls that the progiam must be gen
eral In scope, snd that every farmer
who wlfhes to do so may become
eligible for the payments, regard
leea of the commodity produced.

Kansas Governor Flays Con
gress for Failure to Pro
tect People in Lincoln,
Neb., Address.
LINCOLN, Neb.. Feb. 39 AP
Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas, stand
ing beneath a "Landon for President"
banner, tonight criticized federal re
lief policies and charged the Roose
velt administration with "discrimina
tion' 'in agricultural policies in sn
address before Nebraska Republicans
at their Pounders' day celebration
here tonight.
John K. Selleck. business manager
of the University of Nebraska athletic
department, said approximately 5,000
persons were In its coliseum to hesr
the' Kansan.
The address climaxed a full day of
celebrations snd organizations by Ne
braska Republicans. Hundreds of
members of the party from Kansas.
Colorsdo. Iowa. Wyoming snd other
nearby states Joined In the programs.
Vigorous applause greeted -Landon'
challenge of New Deal relief policies.
"When a national administration
takes millions and mllllona paid in
taxes by the American people to
build a partisan political machine
out of want and misery, that admin,
lstratton does an Indefensible thing,"
Landon asserted.
The Kansas governor was Intro
duced by John Landls of Seward, Jun
ior president of the Founders' dsy
organization. He presented Landon
"s one who by his life and record
represents the Ideals of constitutional
government."
Reiterating the theme of his re
cent Topeka address, Landon struck
at what he called "slip-shod national
housekeeping." "
He conaumed only 28 minutes of
his allotted 30 on the Columbia ra
dio network. He spoke from the
same platform where last month Her
bert' Hoover, former president, was
cut-off by the same network when
he consumed more thsn his allotted
time.
After ths address Landon held open
house as the crowd pushed to the
stage to greet him. Among those who
came to the stage were Mayor Chas.
W. Bryan of Lincoln, threo times gov
ernor of Nebraska and one-time Dem
ocratic vlce-presldentlal nominee.
Landon called upon Republicans to
make clear to the needy "that the
changea we pledge will bring order
out of chaos by purging" federal re
lief "of partisanship, of waste and of
Incompetence."
Governor Landon said:
"When a national administration
takes millions and millions paid in
taxes bv the American people to build
a partisan polltcal machine out of
want and misery, tnar. aamimstrauon
does an Indefensible thing.
"And a congress that failed to pro
tect its own witnesses, when sum
moned to testify In regard to the
waste of this tax money, would be
guilty of deserting one of its gravest
responsibilities under the constitu
tion. '
"In short," said Landon In his sec
ond speech since being mentioned as
possible Republican presidential
candidate, "what we propose Is to
make relief both honest and effect.
tlve."
Beyond his attack on federal relief
policies, the KBnsas governor charged
the New Deal administration with
"discrimination" In sgricultural poli
cies snd a "political debauch" of the
civil service. He urged a "sound and
stable monetary system" and "more
effective budget making by.the execu
tive."
'Idealists msy hsve been at the
front door preaching soclsl Justice,
but party henchmen have been at the
back door handing out Jobs." he said.
He asserted centralization of rellel
control In Washington produced a
costly breskdown of local respon
sibility."
Federal financial aid was onvi-
ously necessary In our recent emer
gency." he ssld, "but every com
munity knows best how to care for
Its own.
'We cannot go back to the days
before this depression. We must go
forward facing our new problems,
solving them under the old eternal
