Advance) .-.-..0. 3. 2.-. se $2.50 Y 7 Serta ste Business Boom Forecast 7 z After ten drab years of depression and recession, most of us undoubtedly are inclined to look with a certain amount} of skepticism on forecasts of returning prosperity. But despite all this, there is undisputed optimism in the air at_ start of 1940 — a new spirit of confidence in business circles— which indicates that both California and the Nation finally may be on the road back to solvency. From W. F. Mitchell, Sacramento investment. expert, ‘whose incredibly accurate forecasts of recent years have identified him as ““The Babson of the West,”’ comes a definite proing of the recession when others were still asserting “recovery is here,” and who has been pessimistic to. a fault when pessimism seemed justified, now boldly predicts a business boom in the offing. = Our financial and business indexes.’” reports Mr. Mitchéll, “‘are promising the full dinner pail to business and labor. How-fully this promise is realized depends to a large degree upon the extent to which government interferes with business during 1940. However, the business and financial world is looking forward to a presidential election year with faith, hope and charity — faith that 1940 ‘will bring peace on the labor. * front, and that democracy’s profit system will survive; hope that the closing days of the New Deal will bring a real and permanent breathing spell for business, and charity for the illadvised experiments of the past. “England, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, China and many, other countries are no longer competing with us in the world trade. And it is obvious that America will become the foodstore, clothing shop and major manufacturing source for a world at war. Rising prices are inevitable, bringing to our farm centers the first real prosperity in several years. This will undoubtedly assist in awakening the financial world from its long period of lethargy—and 1940 should be profitable for American labor, American business and American finance.” That message, in light of the fact that Mr. Mitchell is noted for his caution and conservatism, carries the’ ring of real assurance. Aind there are other sgins and portents which seem to confirm it. Here’s to 1940!—Contributed. Legislature Double-Header : Congress is getting back on the job again, after its brief holiday, faced with the task of levying new taxes, raising the limit of the national debt, or cutting appropriations to the bone in a desperate effort to stem the tide of rising public expenditures. And at Sacramento, Governor Olson has called a special session of the State Legislature for January 29—with_taxation, again, as the major issue. No one, at this early date, can accurately forecast the outcome of this “‘legislative double-header,”” but new spending and tax programs promise to be far less popular than at any other period in the past decade. President Roosevelt, apparently bowing to the public demand for less spending; has let it be known that he will swing he economy axe on virtually all budget items. Relief appropriations are due to be slashed to a new low; the CCC and NYA are likely to be hard hit, and farm benefits face drastic reductions. Of particular concern to California and_ other ~‘western-states is the fact that reclamation projects—including Central Valley, Grand Coulee and Colorado threatened with cuts as much as 50 per cent below what the Reclamation Bureau considers minimum requirements. : ’ California, desperately in need of a breathing spell for its taxpayers, must expect to take the bitter with the sweet. In all probability, however, sufficient funds can be secured to continue work on the vital Central Valley Water Project. But under the circumstances, schemes to add from $50,0000,000 to $100,000,000 to the cost of the big project by providing for steam power plants and power distribution systems (units not contemplated in the original act) are expected to meet speedy rejection if submitted to the legislature. And in light of probable slashes in federa! contributions toward relief costs, the legislature may also be expected to see to it that relief rolls are purged of all chiselers and that relief is granted only to the needy and deserving. The legislators, from current indications, are making ready to swing the axe on all unneeded appropriations. And many governmental frills and luxuries are due for drastic pruning —Contributed.

Davis, recently returned from visiting relatives in Norway will give instruction in knitting to any who, feel the need of it in order to contribute warmth and comfort to the war Victims of Europe. Mrs. Davis tells interestingly of the beautiful handiLerafts of her native Norway, where all the local Red Cross chapters are iow busy turning out knitted garments for refugees and sodiers. Samples of her own work are evidence of the high standards of workmanship of which she speaks. A year ago the destitute ones for whom the Red Cross garments are destined, were happily celebrating the Christmas season in their own homes. After our ‘‘Merry Christmas” . with good food, heaped with gifts and pleasures—how better can we keep the Christmas spirit glowing than by knitting or stitching it into warm wool garments for those: who in one short year have lost so much? Mrs. Perry says that part of the wool-and other materials is already here. and she would like to have the names of those who will help so that organization of the work can be-completed without delay after January first. She hopes that the enthusiasm of our war days will be revived in the service of those now in such bitter need. Those who can and will do this work, please call 593W.-. without further delay.
