W MB fi'P i OWE™ ft. ’ Jrade and Crops Good, Yet There Is Some Complaint of Poor Profit. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK. Jul} 31 Conditions are •ont radiator y. Here we have the railroads rushing into the market for thousands >f new cars and hundreds nf engines, prices of steel Roaring on urgent demands for prompt de liveries. general trade <as measured by bank clearings and railroad traffic) of Urge volume, foreign commerce breaking ill records, the grain prospects improving Tally, an absence of excitement over poli tics, a stock market that more than holds ts own, and no present stringenc y in the i Phoney market yet much dissatisfaction i with conditions, much complaining of r>oor profits and nf high costs ami constant iemands that ‘something be done" are the prefer of the day. What is the matter ’ One economist will tel! you that the in crease in the production of gold is at the bottom of all our woes Another holds the tru«* entirely responsible. "The tariff." v third. The lack of foodstuffs, ow ing Io tiie unpopularity of farming, is blamed by a fourth. "The trade unions. #idch restrict output, ’ is the pet scape goat of a fifth, while political turmoil, the interstate commerce commission, national and individual extravagance, the mania for pleasures of the expensive sort. "Wall Street.” godlessness, all are trotted out as contributory to or whollj responsible for the present unsatisfactory state of affairs Each Has a Bearing. Now, the i>Jethora of gold, the growth of trusts, yic tariff, the comparative icareity of farm products, the shortsighted policies of certain labor organizations, ex iravagnce. inordinate pleasure-seeking ind the other causes cited do, each and very one. have some bearing upon the irrsnt high cost of living ap.i Its off iring. discontent. Only a very young, an extremely foolish r a superhuman!. wise person would un ertake to propound sovereign and prac- Ical—remedies for every ill the human ace is heir to. Bin suggestions can he nade on two or three points. Seven Possible Remedies. I 1. The tariff must be reduced really reduced, not simply fooled with. | 2. Industrial trusts must be brought tin ker control -but not along the asinine jllries prescribed bj the head of the Stan ley investigating committee. 3. Farming should- and will be encour aged by the establishment of "land hanks." which will extend credit facilities on equitable terms, while the Inaugura tion of equitable express rates and an ef ficient parcels post will also help. 4. .Labor unions should reconsider their rules governing the limitation of output, for a man ought to put into the world as much as he expects to get out of It. 5. The railroads should be given a square deal in the matter of freight rates, else grave troubles will break out by and by. 6. The Increase in gold production can pot be arbitrarily stopped, but the present signs are that there will be no abnormal expansion in the near future, the Trans vaal fields, the principal source of supply, having apparently aproachcd their maxi mum capacity. 7. Goldlessness, extravagance, pleasure seeking, etc., are matters for the individ ual to remedy, That there is room for re form in these directions no one will deny The Acme of Stupidity. The Stanley report’s recommendations that control of more than 30 per cent of any Industry be held illegal is the acme of stupidity. Truly our politicians are apt to be drowned when they venture upon the deep sea of economics. There is no Inherent virtue In doing only a small business often it augurs lack of application, of Industry, of thrift, of foresight, of ability. Neither la it necessarily wicked to do a big business Rule of thumb methods can ot be suc cessfully aplied to ho extraordinarily Complicated problems as those involved in the modern machinery for ca.-ylng on trade and industry on a national and in ternational rule, Commonsense must l>e exercised. The abolition of great industrial organ izations is not even desirable were it legis latively possible, for in the herculean tight for the world’s markets the puny con cern can not stand up against the gigantic ones, which have been built up in Britain, in Germany and elsewhere. But industrial corporations can, should and will be controlled by the people, act ing through their government. The rail roads have been brought under effective regulation; let similar treatment be ex tended to industrial combinations. Wall Street Still Waiting.

Carrying the approval of Hip Georgia Medical association and encountering but little opposition in the upper house. Sen ator Douglass* bill to establish a com posite boa rd of rnedic.il examiners with supervision over all forms or practice In the state, was passed by the senate to day. The measure, it is understood, will be attacked vigorously in the house and the charge will be made that the bill is an attempt on the part of the regular phy j sioians in Georgia to hinder other forms i of the practice. Several Atlanta medical colleges will tight the bill on lhe grounds that they will be put out of business by its passage, as the composite board provided In the measure will have, complete supervision oyer medical schools. As explained by the doctors in the upper house, Senators Douglass and Beauchamp, both of whom supported the measure, it provides for a board of eight members to be appointor] b\ the governor. Rive members of this board shall be reg ular practitioners, two eclectic physicians and on? a homeopathic physician. The member.- shall hold office for four years. Senator Beauchamp said that, the Dill was modeled after a uniform medical ex amination law now in force In 38 states and bad been approved by the American Medical association. ft provides for a rigid examination of applicants for a li cense to practice medicine, an annual in spection of all medical schools in the state and a set standard in Carnegie unite, for medicgl colleges Pension Bill Passed. With but two dissenting votes the Wil liams pension, bill, which increases the pension of Confederate veterans from S6O io SIOO annually during the years 0f<914- 1917, inclusive, was approved by the sen ate. The measure, according to figures given out by the pension commissioner, will increase the pension rolls by SBOO,OOO by 1917, raising the total annual appropria tion to $1,980,000. By the terms of the bill the pensions will be increased yearly at the rate of $lO beginning in 1914 The annual in crease for four years will be approxi mately $200,000. Georgia’s rolls include about 20,000 pen sioners. The Ed ward-King-Graham constitu-| tional amendment permitting the legisla ture to abolish the office of county treas urer by special act was passed by the senate Success of the amendment In the house means that numerous county treasurers in the smaller counties will lose their jobs nt the next session of the legislature GOVERNOR PAID NO HEED TO MESSAGES ABOUT TIPPINS BILL Although prohibitionists and anti prohibitlonists flooded the executive of fice with letters and telegrams white Governor Brown was considering the Tippins bill, not a single message reach ed him before the bill was vetoed today, i He purposely instructed his secretary | to sidetrack all matter referring to the bill until he had made his decision. He .said today that he did rot ap prove of the idea that was gaining ground in Georgia that the government of the state should be conducted bi’ petitions, mass meetings, 14pplau.se or delegations waiting on stf.te house of ficials. For this reason he consigned nil messages to the pigeon hole while he considered the bid. A petition or a delegation, at the best, he asserted, could represent but a small percentage of the iteople.

BOOSTS COTTON _____ I Large Spot Interests Are Heavy Purchasers of Fall Positions. : Cables Finn. NT-;\v YORK. July 31.—Weak Liverpool! rallies caused the cotton market today to show irregularity, with first prices being 3 to 6 points higher to 1 to 17 points lower than the previous close, August showing the less strength being 17 points lower However, this option quickly I gained this loss, advancing to 12.0 k. After Mie call a heavy buying wave pre vailed upon the market on the bullish character of reports from Texas. The buying was chiefly attributed to brokers representing large spot Interest. This buying caused an upward movement and prices were carried 2 to 10 points above the opening. After this buying was over there was a dullness until the government weather re port was posted, which showed 27 stations in Texas yesterday registering tempera tures of 100 to 111, and fiie rainfall being reported ft r less than had been reported by private sources. This renewed the ag gressiveness of big professionals and spot interests, wbp traded heavily on near crop positions, chiefly of October and De cember, while the latter was carried to 13 cents, with very little for sale at that quotation. The entire list showed sub stantial gains ranging 13 to 16 points from the previous close. At the close the market was barely steady, with prices showing a net gain of 10 to 16 points above the final quota tions of Tuesday.
