Harold Johnson’s Getting
By On Oregon Ranch
Harold Johnson, former Hy
der resident, who is now lo
cated on his farm near Colton,
Oregon, writes that he is get
ting along nicely, although
working pretty hard to get his
place in shape to be fully self
supporting.
Describing his activities in
the battle against Old Man De
pression Mr. Johnson says no
work is to be had in that local
ity but he had killed a pig and
smoked hams and bacon while
Mrs. Johnson put up fruits and
vegetables. They also killed
and canned chickens and pur
chased and canned a quantity
of meat from a cow killed by a !
neighbor. As a result of these
activities they expect to get
through the winter all right as
far as food is concerned. They
have had quite a bit of rain
there, Mr. Johnson says, and
both he and Mrs. Johnson miss;
the Alaska snow.
Determined Drive For
Inflation Is Predicted
This year will see a deter
miend drive for currency in
flation in Washington to the
extent of two billion dollars
and a move to revalue the gold
ounce will also be pushed, ac
cording to Roger Babson, noted
economist.
In a current letter to his cli- ■
ents Mr. Babson said the year!
1932 marked the end of the i
great bear market and that 19-1
33 will be a fair year for busi-j
ness. Babson further predict-!
ed that the U. S. budget will!
not be cut because of the four j
billions required, only 700 mil-!
| lions is for actual running ex
| penses of the government and ■
| the remainder is for wars, past;
and future, interest and debt |
payments, and allowances to
veterans.
Others than Babson argue j
that the balancing of the bud
get, with its billion dollar de
ficit this year, is the very quest- 1
ion that will force inflation, so
that a balance m ay be
achieved,
