BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN THE TWELFTH RESERVE
DIST—MARCH 1935—RELEASE
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
Twelfth District business expanded by less than the
customary amount during March following an improvement
in February of more than seasonal proportions. Aggregate
employment in private industry increased only fractionally
from February to March.
Except for lumber and canning operations, the usual
small gains in activity in those industries for which infor
mation is available were recorded in March. Lumber pro
duction increased less than is customary during March, and
this bank’s adjusted index receded by approximately as much
as it increased in the preceding month. Adverse weather con
ditions delayed early vegetable canning. Petroleum produc
tion remained substantially unchanged during the month, but
flour milling expanded and, after seasonal adjustment, was
more active than in any month since last August. The val
ue of building permits issued for all types of private con
struction continued to increase during March, but contracts
awards for public works were the same as in February,
when the total was smaller than in other recent months.
Sales of new automobiles continued to increase sharp
ly during March, but other measures of trade in the Twelf
th District expanded less than seasonally. Car-loadings in
both California and the Northwest increased less than is
usual and, after allowance for seasonal influences and the
late date of Easter this year, the index of Twelfth District
department store sales declined slightly.
More than the customary rain and snow in March and
early April insured adequate water for irrigation purposes
throughout the district this season. Low temperatures and
frosts caused some damage to fruits and vegetables and re
tarded soil preparation and seeding of many other crops.
Growth of forage for livestock in the Pacific Northwest was
delayed to some extent by cold weather, but district rang
es generally are in fair to excellent condition except in Utah.
Volume of crop marketings was somewhat greater in March
than in February. Prices of farm products increased in ear
ly April, regaining most of the decline which took place in
the last half of March.
Twelfth District banking reserves showed a net in
crease from mid-March to mid-April. This increase did not
come from United States government expenditures in excess

of local collections, as has usually been the case in recent
years, but represented primarily a favorable balance of com
mercial and financial payments with other districts. The
Federal Government continued to withdraw funds from the
district through its ordinary revenues and in addition re
ceived large amounts from national banks which deposited
cash to retire their liability for circulating notes, the aggre
gate of these collections approximating the total of Treas
ury disbursements. Reflecting the net gain of funds through
transactions with other districts, member bank reserve de
posits at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco rose
to the highest levels on record. Total loans and investments
of reporting member banks remained practically unchanged
in the period under review, although demand deposits in
creased substantially.
WHY A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE?
A Chamber of Commerce is the business of the com
munity speaking and acting for the common good.
Show me a live city and I will show you a live Chamber
of Commerce. A dead Chamber of Commerce means that
the city has gone to sleep. In other words, a city is known
by the Chamber of Commerce it keeps.
No individual, firm or corporation can organize a civic
enterprise and carry it to a successful conclusion single hand
ed. Such work requires cooperation of all interests, and
such cooperation can be obtained only through a Chamber
of Commerce, or a similar body. There is no exception.
This does not mean that individual initiative is to be dis
counted. It means, rather, that the Chamber of Commerce
gives the widest scope for individual initiative to assert it
self.
The Chamber of Commerce renders ineffective that
deadly jealousy which so often confronts individual initia
tive for civic development. When individual initiative is
exercised in a Chamber of Commerce, it does not stand out
as such; and every member of the organziation has an op
portunity to discuss the thing proposed and, if any good, to
make it his own.
As the human family has adopted marriage and home
as the best plan so far devised for the comfort and conven
ience of the race, so has the city adopted the Chamber of
Commerce as the most dependable instrumnt so far invent
ed for civic progress.—Tacoma Progress.

Drama of West
Forbidden Trail” is in reality a
thrill-packed road of romance and
adventure. The picture, due Friday
at the Dream Theatre, is the latest
Ruck Jones—Columbia contribution
of split-second outdoor action stories
and features such popular players as
Barbara Weeks, Mary Carr,of “Over
the Hill” fame, and Jack La Rue
in important supporting roles in the
cast.

ion, Silver, practically single-hand
ed whips a band of land and cattle
thieves into submission.
Crooked politics, romance and
guerilla warfare waged between
homesteaders and the cattlemen of
a typical western community present
their share of screen thrills. We see
Barbara Weeks, as the editor of the
town’s small paper, who is compell
ed to editorially take sides with a
band of criminals because of a debt
she is unable to pay off. Jones sen
ses the situation, buys half interest
in the publication and proceeds to
go after the law-breakers with a
vengeance.
Buck Jones fans can be assured of
an abundant supply of typical Jones
fast riding and quick shooting in
this altogether plausible and pleas
ing story of the west when the law
was on the side of the party with
the fastest “draw.”
