Investors in West
Share Fully in
Securities Losses
Bargain Hunters Appear in
Market After Crash
in Prices
l..rcial CorrespondenesI

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Western IN
vestors have taken their full share OF
losses in the securities slump. Their
losses have been mostly in Western
enterprises, including railroads. in
dustrials, public utilities and special
ties, in which a larger proportion than
usual of their total investment hsd
been made because the West seemed
particularly prosperous and strategy
cally safer than the East, with its pre-
ponderance Of munitions business.
The Westeraer always likes to be
close to the ground. In case of finan-
cial shocks New York usually acts as
a buffer for Chicago, but this noise
less" panic swept all sorts of values
before 1t with an irresistible glacial
movement, without regard to size,
shape or substantially.
Performance Typically American
The country had been too slow to
realize the extent of its danger and
duty, then swung to the other extreme
Of unreasoning apprehension. 1t has
partly recovered its balance, although
losses in securities have not been re
gained. The entire performance has
been typically American. Now the
bargain hunters with ready money are
swapping up the best things ever Of
fered by the securities markets. In
vestment opportunity is impressive.
but no sharp recovery is expected. as
the weight of war financing and labor
turbulence is too heavy.
Commercial money is steady az 81
to 6 per cent, with an upward trend
Manufacturing concerns are placing
their paper chiefly through country
banks. Packing paper goes well, but
this year the absence of grain paper
has been marked. Banks find plenty of
use for their funds. Clients have been
good borrowers at their own banks.
Bankers have the money market well
in hand and, with the rapid increase
In rediscounting and the gradual
spread of "acceptances,' they are not
worried over the outlook. Cheap money
Is not in sight, and there is practically
no new capital at all for those not con-
tributing TO the governments needs
Liquidity Is insisted upon. II is prof
liable for the banks TO redscount eli
gible paper. but there is no incentive
to rediscount excessively. Imitation is
coming fast enough. A good feature
is the small surplus Of manufacturing
or mercantile stocks anywhere.
Currency Flow Well Balanced
The interior currency movement is
heavy, but we'll balanced. The return
flow of funds from the agricultural
sections set in this year earlier than
usual, but the experiences of the banks
at the principal centres at the time
payment was called for on Treasury
certificates clearly indicated how quick
" these accumulations in the reserve
ind central reserve cities evaporate.
Increasing volume of government or
ders placed in the West equalizes the
monetary as well as the industrial sit
uation throughout the country. The
rediscounting privilege excludes col
lateral loans, so the producer of COM
mercial paper is in better position than
ever before as a borrower.

and were only saved by being taken
from their bedroom window by Mr..
Larson. who stood half clothed in the
snow and saved his family.
The fire was of unknown origin. 1t
occurred before the family was UP and
had gotten such a start that those in
the house barely had time to escape
from the burning structure without
saving any of their clothing or furni-
ture.
Mr.. Larson and family were cared
for during the early morning hours by
neighbors and later went to the home
of Mrs. Larson's mother, who also re-
sides on the bench. The loss of their
home and furniture was total and al
so practically all of their clothing. The

IDAHO INSURANCE
MEN HOLD MEETING
Annual Session of the State
Federation Convenes and
Delegates Get Down to
Business-Committee Is
Named to Confer With
the Unions.

Opposition to the plan OF consoildat-
ing the insurance and banking depart
ments developed at the opening session
of the Insurance Federation Of Idaho
at the Commercial club this morning.
Those who spoke on the subject con =
tended that SO many people were so VI
tally interested in insurance of various
forms the business was entitled to the
exclusive care and should be under the
control of a state department giving
it's sole attention to insurance. More
over, /. was pointed out, consolidation
would hardly result in any compen-
sating economy. Both the banking and
the insurance features would have to
DO handled. requiring the same force
as at present II men of inferior abil-
tty were placed Il charge of either, it
would suffer.
TO CONFER WITH UNIONS.
A committee, that included Presi-
dent Herman ]. Rossi and Secretary
Frank G. Ensign, was named to con-
fer with the Idaho State Federation of
Labor on workmens compensation,
casualty insurance and other features.
1t was stated that the published re-
port that casualty companies were OPP
poseI to compensation laws was an
error and an Injustice There was OPP
position to state monopoly of insur-
ance, but casualty companies had al
ways favored compensation laws.
QUALIFICATIONS OF AGENTS.
\ running discussion OF the quail
fication of agents was injected inform
ally. it being commended that incom-
potent and indiscriminate appointments
tended to lower the standard of the
Insurance profession. to encourage in
condiarsm and to deprive the public
II protection.
Insurance Commissioner Steele ad-
dressed the meeting briefly. He point
ed olt that there were proposals to
be considered that wen to the vitals
of the insurance business. many of
them extremely radical. unfair and
dangerous. He urged the members OF
the federation to conduct their DELHI
erations without reference to politics
or any other consideration excepting
the fundamentals of insurance and
adequate protection to the public.
RAISE THE STANDARD.
President Rossi in his address urged
that every possible step be taken to
raise the standard OF the insurance
profession and to keep it on a high
plane. Tho banking business" he
said. was recognized as among the
most honorable and legitimate in the
business world, but there is no ques
ton that the insurance business is in
measure looked down on. / am not
going to attempt to fix responsibility
FOR that sentiment, but ! want to say
that without insurance, life, fire and
casualty, the banks would experience
difficulty in maintaining themselves as
ioaning agencies. There is no reason
why the insurance business should not
be placed and kept on as high a plane
as the banking business"
The convention wasted no time in
prelilninaries. The morning session
was devoted largely to discussion of
technical matters I'D at noon a recess
was taken until o'clock this evening
at the Commercial club
