the destruction of all evil tendencies OF the present DAY
which threaten them. oft t|4Aa tGsa
The association has never had a meeting where Its
members went more thoroughly into the discussions OF
various problems touching their profession and involving
public interests as at Denver. This alone shows a verne
spirit that betokens a long and useful life to the assocla-
ton. .r...t #r H,#
For the incubation of this spirit the association IS
deeply indebted to its two former presidents, George ..
Caldwell and A. B. Leach. All rests on leadership. Men
take their cue from those they elect to guide them. II
they are verile men, then the rank and file are also ver1ie'
and they-each and every one-take up their part OF the
work with a degree of enthusiasm that makes their or
ganization forge ahead with giant strides.
Therefore it is fortunate that the prospect is so bright
for the continued dominance of this aggressive spirit.
What an important role the association will Re able TO as
sumo, not only in the world of economies, but i'll the poiitl-
cal life of the nation, has hardly been ventured upon as yet.
But it is certain that in the years ahead OF the ASSOCIATION,
provided it does not blunder and depart from It's real
mission, it will earn the deep appreciation CT investors,
who will be quick to respond to efforts t. further Their ma
terial interests.
Against the evil Vaccinations of man to take from Ill
vestors their capital without giving them values in return,
the association will have to fight not only from without,
hut from within its Notifications. It's earnest intentions
and integrity will thus be judged by these standards

Valuation of Mines

At the recent engineering congress the subject OF val,
uation as applied to oil, coal and metal mines was discussed
in various papers, says the Mining and Scientific Press.
OF the three divisions of the subject, that relating to the
precious metals and to the chief base metals, om1ttlng
iron. is the most important to our readers. 1T might be
we'll to distinguish between mines OF gold or silver ore, on
the one hand, and mines of copper, lead or zinc on the
other, for the deposits OF the precious metals have charac-
teristics different from those of the base metals, but Tor
the purpose of a general discussion this is not necessary,
although we NAV agree that the distribution OF gold and
silver in nature in concentrations OF mineral is more er-
ratio and therefore more hazardous, from the MINER S
standpoint. than that of the commoner metals. Yet we
must add that the increased hazard is compensated by the
greater possible gain. Here we strike the key to a dis
cussion of the subject from the business s1de-the recogn1-
ton that in any enterprise we must take pains to ascertain
whether the gain is proportioned to the risk. 10 make an
even bet on a particular horse out of a field OF a dozen
is. if this be done Systematically and often, a sure way to
pauperism. To buy railroad shares on a three per cent
basis, when government bonds yielding the same returns
are available at the same price, is not sagacious. 10 ap-
praise the common shares of the United States Steel cor
poration on the same basis as the bonds of that corpora
ton is manifestly foolish. Speculation III the common
stock has possibilities, both up and down. OF winning and
losing. that are eliminated from the investing OF money IN
the bonds. In one case it is the possible enhancement OF
the principal, in the other the assured dividend, that is
likely to prompt a purchase.

Superiority of Women

One inevitable result of the war will be greatly to IN
crease the number of women as compared with the num-
Der of men in all the countries at war. Official f1gures
compiled shortly before the war started showed that IN
nearly all the European countries there were many more
females than males. In Great Britain the excess OF te-
males was 1927, sol; in Germany, S45y6oI; in France, o45,-
2II. In all three countries the excess of females was
then ~2,7S8,373.
Since these figures were compiled men have been
HE'D by wholesale. Already the excess of females in the
warning countries has probably doubled. The slaughter
of the men will continue as long as the war lasts. With
every day of the war the proportion of females to males
becomes greater. Heads of families are being killed and
Young men who, under other circumstances, would marry
and raise families, are daily being buried in the trenches.
Many of the wars survivors are doomed to pass the re-
mainder of their lives crippled or blind or deaf or in shat
tered health. The number that will return as strong
men physically and mentally as when they went to war
will be comparatively few. Several million women who
might be willing to marry will be doomed to a life of
spinisterhood because there will not be nearly enough men
to 90 ~aroumd-Anaconda Standard.

How Copper Is Bought and Sold

A characteristic of the copper market in recent years
has been the buying of copper in great operations extending
over a period of two to three weeks, followed by a period
of two or three months during which the market is dull,
relatively little business being done. With a production of
refined copper at the rate OF 100000 pounds a month
there must be sold about 100000 pounds per day, or
100000 pounds per week, on the average, to dispose of
the output Of new copper. Taking into account the re-
claimed copper,-the product of the Junk understand the
speculative business, and occasionally the reseling BY con-
themselves, the aggregate of transactions in copper
exceeds an average of 100000 pounds per day. With so
huge a business it is unlikely that there is ever a day
without some transaction by somebody, but with a total of
three or four million pounds per day to market would
doubtless be described as dull. After a long period of
such a market there comes what we speak of as a great
buying movement, when during a week there may be sales
of 100000 pounds of copper, or in a fortnight twice as
much. The buying in this way has been becoming
more and more pronounced. What is the reason for it?
We may offer an explanation without getting at the
reason. The explanation is that the American consum-
ers have got the idea of acting in concert. They remain
out of the market together and come in to buy together.
More and more do they appear to be acting in concert.
What their reason is will have to be surmised. OF
course they figure on buying their copper more cheaply
than otherwise matter that is well worthy of consid-
Grafton; for has not Mr.. Ryan pointed out several times
that the American consumer has in the past paid more
for his copper than the foreigner? But do they figure
that by their concerted abstention thew will tire out timid
producers and thus obtain cheaper copper? 1t is certain
on the other hand that when they try to buy at the same
time they hoist the price up on themselves, and perhaps
one cent per pound between the opening and closing of a
dav, whereupon they accuse somebody other than them
selves OF rigging the market. $3.50 #a
If consumers abandoned the idea of PLAYING a spec,1-
lative game, if each one bought his copper as he needed
it, we fancy that things would be better for them in the
long run. But while the present policy obtains we NAV
look for periodic buying movements" intermediate spells
upturns. and in general, conditions more cratic than
they ought to be.-Engineering Journal.

Investment Bankers

Not by any work of years nor by any set program of
intentions is the labor OF any man or group of men meas
ured or Judged. But that which has been actually done
that is worth while and has bettered conditions measures
the extent of the public approval or disapproval of the
work of men or organizations, says Financial World.
In age the Investment Bankers Association is but an
infant. 1t is only three years old. Hardly at an age
where much could properly be expected of it, for in so
ort a while it has scarcely had time to find in what
sphere of usefulness it might render its best service.
Despite its youth the Investment Bankers Assocla-
ton of America has made material contribution to the bet
of conditions surrounding American investments
it has succeeded in inspiring among its members an 1nv1ncl-
bic spirit of service, and that their business calls Tor some
thing more than the mere making OF money; that as rep

Anent Blue Sky LaWs

That the conservative and honest investment banker
is in full accord with every legitimate endeavor to drive
the roeues out of business was plainly stated by Allen U.
Hovt, chairman Of the Legislative committee and wee presl-
dent of the Investment Bankers association, says the FL
uancial World. The organization in its sympathy with the
purposes of those who sought properly to protect the IN
weston has co-operated with the state officials, who showed
they had this object genuinely IN view. But Gil vicious
forms of blue sky" laws the committee has attacked, with
the net result that the legitimate investment banker Is sun
able to do business in every important state OF the mo
without serious hindrance. Furthermore, no case brought
BY the association through its general counsel has been so
far lost. Mr.. Hoyt brought this fact out to illustrate on
what solid ground the associations opposltlon 10 Viclou
blue sky laws is based.
Mr.. Hovt well said in connection with this legislation:
"The harmful character of the blue SKY Legislation arises
from the fact that most laws attempting to regulate the
sale of securities have been drawn by those who tail utterly
to comprehend the business of the investment banker or
the economic significance o. the service he renders. lhere-
BY. in their zeal to catch the vendor OF fraudulent securl.
ties. they over-legislate and handicap the development OF
legitimate business. i.
1t is through the efficiency of the capital employed
that important factors in the growth of the country are
developed. Mr.. Hoyt also pointed out that 1t IS through
the agency OF the investment banker that unemployed capi-
tai becomes a productive force; that he performs a double
service, finding for those who have idle funds profitable IN
vestments and contributions directly to the creation OF
wealth. Mr.. Hoyt interjected this inquiry:
But how could the development OF our resources
be financed ii the investment banker were so 1mpeded,
embarrassed and harassed by a multiplicity or re-
strictive laws that the banker would be ndoubt halt
the time whether or not he was lawfully complying
with this or that statute? How could he direct capital
toward those enterprises the expansion OF which
contributes directly to the increase in the national
wealth if he has to submit every offering OF securities
he desired to make to the censorship OF the OFFICIALS OF
a dozen or more states?
1t is not the intent of these laws that is Objectionable
to the investment banker. 1t is their patcrnallst1c power,
as the Financial World has frequently cited, conferred
upon those delegated with their execution which causes all
the mischief. 1t rests with them to say whether a security
is good or bad many times when they cannot tell one Sc
curity from another. :.
The public desires to remain its own Judge OF
investments. Al it seeks from state officials is their CO.
operation in seeing to it, as far as 1t is within their power,
that all such propositions are built on honesty, and not
upon fraud.
