Rinq Watches Popular.

Swiss watchmakers are reported to
be busy filling English and American
orders for finger ring watches. The
ring watch, though little seen, is no
novelty. The manager of an old Lon
don matchmaking firm says that he
saw them more than IA years ago.
Queen Victoria had three or four.
The simplest ones-a plain gold ring
with the watch inserted-cost about
$500, but with diamonds or other
stones, $4,000 to $4,000 may be paid.

1t is not clear to many. however,
why this should be the case. What
difference is there. they say, between
subscribing cash to the capital OF a
concern and building the plant with
such capital. or buying ths bonds OF
the concern and getting bonus OF
stock issued against franchise or other
non-physical assets? Let us take a
concrete example. Suppose that It is
proposed to start some public utility
In small but growing community.
and that the promoters decide not to
issue any bonds. but to float stock
at par. for the purpose OF building the
plant. Why should man, with CAPT.
tai to invest, fight shy of such prop.
osition. when he ia willing to invest
In the bonds Of the company. with a
bonus OF stock, as in either case he is
assured OF his share Of the entire net
earnings? s, Z
Let us suppose that the plant Ii
built with cash received from sales OF
stock only. and that in a few years II
becomes necessary to raise more capt.,
tnl for necessary extensions, and that
It Is found impossible to sell additional
stock. The natural result Is that the
plant is mortgaged to raise the needed
money. which mortgage becomes a
first lien on the property, aud one
which In a period OF depression. or
owing to adverse conditions, may be
foreclosed and the stockholders left
without anything to show for their
money. In this connection It must be
remembered that, unlike ordinary
strictly private enterprise. public ser.
vice corporations have frequently to
raise additional capital. even when the
return on that already Invested is in.
sufficient to make their securities at,
trnctlye. The owner of factory. for
example. cannot be compelled to In
crease IS capacity or even to keep
running. unless they chose, but a
public service corporation must not
only keep running. but must Increase
Its capacity to meet the needs OF the
public.

Britain this Is recognized in dealing

lowed to earn 10 or IL per cent. on
the sums invested up to the point
where they are firmly established,
while on additional capital the re-
turn Is limited to or G per cent. It
is. perhaps. only natural that when
people see public utilities whose busl.
ness has passed the earlier, uncertain
stage paying good dividends on stock
representing no cash Investment, they
should consider such a situation
wrong: and, further. that they should
consider the giving away Of franchises
which have proved so profitable as un-
wise and unnecessary. Let us, how
ever, consider the situation at the
time the grants were made. The
writer has In mind a town where the
usual franchises were granted about
20 years ago. At that time, the town
was growing rapidly, and all of the
credit OF the municipality was needed
to finance street improvements, sew
ers, schoolhouses. and the like. Also
the individuals OF the community
needed all their capital in developing
their own business and. as n result,
welcomed the coming OF outside cant.
tai to- detelop water works, street
railways, gas and electric works.
This outside capital wos willing to risk
large sums of money on the ultimate
growth Of the town making them a
handsome return for their investments
on the usual basis OF bonding the
plants for their cost and issuing stock
against the grants. charters and fran
chises owned. AS a matter Of fact.
no such return has yet been made,
and It. has even been necessary to re-
fund the bonds on lower Interest
basis; thus. in this case, at least. the
risks assumed were far from imag.
mary. There is still hope, however
that IN the future dividends an the
stock VIII. in part at least. compensate
for the very slim return so far re.

the time the plants referred to were
