STOCK MARKET EXPLOSION
What has happened to our good
friend President Eisenhower has
been the match to set off the ex-
plosion which has been due for
some time Those of you who
have followed this weekly column
will remember that I have often
noted five "sticks of dynamite"
which were awaiting something
to set them off
Five Reasons for the Collapse
1 Buying by Investment

l : tutions The mon-
' -'' ') ey has come into

o 1)

ers felt they had
to invest it Fur-

i-t' to the biggest
r
User W lisimiss companies
2 Tremendous Building of
Houses This exceeds that of pre-
vious years The money is well
Spent both to house the owner
and help the 27 industries which
benefit from the building of every
house Home purchasers however
should have been made to put up
more money of their own and
not buy houses on shoestrings
3 Greatly Increased Install-
ment Purchasing I do not criti-
cize the purchasing—even on in-
stallments — of automobiles elec-
tric refrigerators washing ma-
chines modern kitchens and other
things which improve the efficien-
cy of the home but buying TV
sets with hardly a down payment
may be questionable
4 Military Expenditures a
Great Factor To the extent these
are paid for by taxes they are
not too serious but they cannot
be depended upon Furthermore
although necessary the expendi-
ture is uneconomic
5 Poor Yields of Stocks After
Payment of Taxes Except in the
case of pension funds institutional
investments and other non-taxable
purchases low yield may be the
greatest factor After most in-
vestors deduct the income tax
from their dividends the yield is
altogether too small to run the
risk of buying stocks
Effect Upon Business
and Employment
What the market will do from
now on: I forecast that most ma-
jor dips will go lower than the
preceding dip Yet each dip in
due time will be followed by an
upward reaction This latter will
probably not reach as high as the
preceding upward movements
What will really happen to the
stock market will depend upon
general business which in turn
determines employment Employ-
ment determines retail sales which
supply the factories with orders
thus completing the economic
cycle
President Eisenhower's health
will be a great factor in determin-
ing the immediate future of busi-
ness Many large undertakings
have been held in abeyance pend-
ing a decision from President
Eisenhower as to whether he will
run again This work will doubt-
less now be held up until it is
known who the presidential can-
didates will be Perhaps this
means that the contracts will not
be signed until after the election
if they are signed for some years
to come
What the President Would
Like to Do
Intimate friends o f President
Eisenhower and his wife have
known that he does not like the
details the public speaking and
entertaining demanded by the
presidency He enjoyed being gen-
eral of the Army where his work
was largely confined to thinking
and planning Othrs carried out
the details No one opposed him
or ignored his orders We now
know he will not run again But
I believe that he would like to be
Secretary of Defense or Secretary
of State or Chairman of the Se-
curity Board His holding such
a position would add greatly to
the administration and give the
country faith
When me:lufacturers and mer-
eharits telephone me asking what
they can now do to prevent a busi-
ness depression I reply "Spend
more money on advertising" As
stated above future business and
prosperity depend upon retail sales
at the grass-roots lcvel To stimu-
late these sales two things are
required: More advertising and
better employee relations I hope
that every businessman and wage-
worker will do his part altng these
lines during these critical weeks
Rural Mail
System Gets
Revisi
Kevisions
Rural Free Delivery ser vice
from the Boise City post office
underwent a reshuffling October
1 with the discontinuance of Route
No 1 which had been on a threetimes-a-week
basis for several
years
With the discontinuance of old
Route One some 30 families served
by it have been transferred to re
vised Routes Two and Three And
the designations of the latter two
have been changed also
Effective October 1 the route
carried by Emmet Hollingsworth
(Old Route Two) became Route
One It is now 8875 miles in
length
The route carried by C H
Finch (Old Route Three) became
Route Two and it is 7525 miles
in -length
The late Jim Carrick was car-
rier on old Route One at the time
of his death and his wife Essie
has been carrying it since that
time
All patrons on the two routes
will receive their mail daily henceforth

have brought about untold savings
in lives and property
October 9 is the anniversary of
the great Chicago fire in 1871
One of the principal ways to
make the observance effective is
to conduct clean-up campaigns in-

Conference
On Education
Slated Here
The Cimarron county conference
on education will be held in the
grade school auditorium of the
Boise City Schools Thursday eve-
ning October 13 The meeting
will get underway at 7:30 The
session in our county is being
planned by Dale A Hughey Boise
City superintendent
The workshop sessions are a part
o f President Eisenhower's pro-
gram in which he has called upon
the lay public and teachers to get
together around the conference
table to discuss various problems
concerning education
The conference workshop is so
designed that every person will
have an opportunity to be heard
all the way to Washington if they
will particpate in the local county
workshop Information gained at
the workshops on the county level
will be forwarded to the state
White House Conference and on
to the national conference which
is scheduled in Washington
Since this is a county-wide con-
ference every section of the coun-
ty should be well represented dur-
ing the October 13 meeting
The following problems are on
the agenda to be discussed during
the meeting:
What should our schools accom-
plish? In what ways can we organize
our school systems more efficiently
and economically? 4 4141
How can we get enough good
teachers and keep them?
How can we finance our schools
build and operate them?
How can we obtain a continuing
public interest in education?
All parents and other interested
persons are urged to attend the
conference Superintendent Ilugh-
ey has selected a steering comitit-
tee with representatives from over
the county to work out plans for
the meeting Since this confer-
ence is to be representative of simi-
lar conferences to )1r held over the
state it should be dominated by
lay people This is the first con-
ference of this nature to be held
locally and every person concern-
ed with the future of America
should attend
Three delegates will be chosen
during the October 13 meeting to
attend the State meeting October
118 and 19 in Oklahoma City
