Dr. Adams Says That War Brought About the Depression
"The only way out of the present financial depression is by the same means as we got into it." stated Dr. T. W. McCormack, a professor of naming at Yale University, before the School of Business convocation this morning. Doctor Adam's subject was "The Fiscal Policy of the Federal Gov't in relation to Present Conditions."
"The present economic depression was brought about largely by the World War," stated Doctor Adams. "The war created extraordinary demands, not only on industry and products, and the natural result was overproduction and an inflated world market." It is Doctor Adams' belief that this period of war reconstruction, followed by a rebound in prices, has brought about the condition of business today.
Credit Is Blamed
"Credit has played an indispensable part in the tragedy," said Doctor Adams. "This overproduction has been caused by \*credit, and unproductive credit cannot be repaid. There is no reason for the government to prolong unproductive credit."
In his analysis of conditions of today, Doctor Adams said that the world could have been a war before he can keep busy. We have huge public debts that were brought about by the war. One-fifth of our government's debt has already been paid in these war debts. He predicted that within the next 10 years the government would accept payment on taxes as much as it had in the past.
Professor Adams discussed the three and a half billion dollar property loan which the government is considering, and that it would be essential for present conditions. He said that no sound banker would support a loan that is essential for the United States to preserve its credit. We must stop borrowing and pay back the debts that we owe.
Doctor Adams, a graduate of Johns Hopkins University, has had wide experience in the field of taxation, having served as president of the National Tax association and on the taxation committee of the United States. He is well known for his public works and is the author of several books on the subject of taxation.

No Explanation Is Offered Concerning Difference in World's Bid and Other's
SEE ITEMIZED REPORT
O. W. Maloney, a student here in 1917, and sales manager for the World company, appeared before the Mark's board of directors to夜ight to assure the members and to present evidence, that the negotiations leading up to a contract for printing a book, were in an honest and business-like way. He made no attempt to explain the difference between the world's bid and that of the Douglas County Republi-
The record sheet for the job, as presented by Mr. Maloney, showed an itemized report of labor and materials and the cost of the same. The total cost of the work was shown to the sheet, was $42.63. The bid of the company, which was accepted, was $68, about 10 per cent lower than that of previous years.
Communications Presented
About four years ago the contract was let for 5,000 copies of a directory of 86 pages at a price of $200. This is a good document of a specified number of pages.
All communications which passed between the manager of the student directory, Kenneth Slocum, e33, and a group of students and copies of the letters which passed between them after the close of school last spring were brought to the meet.
"The biggest cost of printing a book such as this," said Mr. Maloney, "is labor, not so much in materials. The prices for materials do not fluctuate greatly, nor do the grades of paper used are of a job (of this kind very much)."
To illustrate this he stated that the price difference between the two grades was approximately $0 for the directory was approximately $0 on the 1,280 pounds which were
The directory this year came out on Oct 11, which is somewhat earlier than it usually comes out. In accounting for this fact, Mr. Maloney said, "This copy has been printed by the copy." The World company has printed the directory three times.
A guarantee was made to Sielem in the letter stating the bid, that deed was accepted and after copy was received. This part of the agreement was fulfilled, for work was started in the shop on Oct. 1, and the delivery date was set by the termination of October 11. "In a job of this kind," Mr. Maloney said, "spread and consider be considered in letting the contract.
Contract Is Fulfilled
Mr. Maleney replied that in former years they had dealt with the managers of the directory in good faith without knowing what trouble had any trouble. When the point was repeatedly touched upon he agreed to help, but not authority of any representative of a Hill organization, although he did maintain that it was not common bus-
"Don't it seem funny to you that you don't know the responsible parties behind the contract," Russell Strobel, T32. president of the Council, asked.
Furnish One-Felt Business
When asked about the amount of work that he did in a job at the University and allied organizations in the course of a year, Mr. Maloney answered by saying that he metately one-tenth of their total business. This business, he said, came to them repeatedly because of the quality of the work done and not because there was a blanket contract or connections which made it necessary that the work be sent to him.
During the two and one-half hour discussion with Mr. Maloney numerous questions were asked by members of the Council concerning his personal connections on the Hill, and especially those related to his education. He good-natured answered personal questions and discussed matters not relevant to the issue at hand.
