SALARIES IN RFC
ARE FAR BENEATH
By Preston Grover
WASHINGTON America's biggest
banking agency, the Reconstruction
Finance corporation, Is managed for
the most part by men whose 110.000
a year contrasts very sharply with
the higher salaries paid by first string
banks in metropolitan centers, or
even in some of the second string
banks of the country. ,.
However, the salaries are the envy
of many administrators of other fed
eral agencies who have found no
opportunity to crowd so many 10,-000-e.-ycar
men on the payroll. In
government service a 10,000-a-year
salary la quite some punklns, and
no wonder, it being fair to middling
pay in any field.
Jesse Jones, the Texas banker and
builder, whose own 910,000 federal
pay check probably isn't a tithe of
his annual Income, heads the organ'
lzatlon, whoso credit has been ex
tended Into many major and minor
Industries directly or Indirectly since
It was created under the Hoover
administration. It really blossomed
out under President Roosevelt.
High class banking help always has
come high throughout the agea and
reports are that the amiable Mr.
Jones has had to use some of his
most eager persuasion to get some
of his men to leave old Jobs to Join
the RFC even at $10,000 a year,
although needless to say the same
Is not true of all.
Altogether the Washington payroll
of RFC has 31 names listed at 910.000
a 'year and one, Lynn P. Talley of
Dallas, Texas, asslntant to the direc
tors, who is down for 913,500 a year
more than Chairman Jonee himself
or any of the other board members.
Talley at present is on leave without
pay because of extended Illness.
But RFC is a big outfit and seems
to need costly men to handle a lino
of credit extended partly to private
agencies and partly to government
agencies to a grand total of $9,832,
470,000. Of Its total loans, $5,337,-
877,000 has been repaid.

SEEN AS FACTOR
IN FARM SURPLUS
By PAUL D. SHOEMAKER
(AP Farm Editor)
CHICAOO If people would eat aa
much as their forbears did, Harry
Q. Davis, director of research for
the Farm Equipment Institute, be
lieves farm surpluses wouldn't be
such a troublesome problem.
Davis points to men motoring to
work, children riding to school,
housewives sweeping with electricity
as examples of the modern easy life.
Less food la required to generate
the energy for today's life, he aays.
Davis cited figures showing the
per capita consumption of wheat de
clined 11.3 per cent from 6.2 bush
els per person for the 1900-09
decade to 6.6 bushels for the 1020
35 decade, while per capita corn
consumption dropped 35.4 per cent,
from 30.2 bushels to 10.5.
He also reported that the average
number ot cattle on farms declined
29.6 per cent.
"At the beginning of the century,"
David said, "workmen used more
energy. They didn't have the me
chanical aids. Many walked to work
and carried lunch buckets almost
twice as large as they do nowadays.
Working hours were longer, too.
"Thousands of children walked to
school and home again. Housewives
didn't have the electrical equipment
they now use In their dally work.
"Naturally people do not burn up
aa much energy as formerly, and
consequently do not consume as
much food."
Davis said that some people be
lieve the machine Is responsible for
surpluses.
"Most data available," he said, "In
dicate farmers have not kept pace
with the growing population In pro
duction of most of their products.
Instead, figures indicate under-con-sumptlon
as one of the principal
causes of surpluses."
Weather.
Northern California: Pair tonight
and Thursday; local morning frosts
in Interior; unsettled extreme north
coast; gentle to moderate northwest
wind off coast.
Oregon: Unsettled tonight and
Thursday; occasional rain west and
light local rains or snow east por
tion: snows over Cascade range; lit

and strong west backing to south

'JUICE' IN THE WIRE
DOES THE WORK
You can't tell the difference by looking at the wires,
because a "hot" one looks the same as a dead one.
But you can tell when you try to make them work
for it's the "juice" in the wire that makes the sweep
er sweep, the toaster toast, and the washer wash.
Advertisers can buy space that looks the same. Htrt
it takes the spark of real reader interest to produce
results. It's the "juice" in the wire that transmits mil
lions of words every day from every country in the
world to newspapers. Newspapers provide intensity
of interest because they supply news and entertain
ment features that appeal to everyone. It is that in
terest that gets results for advertisers.
If you have a sales story to tell, a product or ser
vice to sell, make connection with the power con
tained in this newspaper's advertising columns.
