Swift observation-disclosures Nichols

ouestion-A reader of your paper would
like your views as TO the efficiency and
earnings on Swift International; likewise
Austin Nichols & Co. Inc.-C. O'C.
Answer-The latest earnings of Swift
International were for the year 1910.
Net was $7,949,679. Dividends paid
were s5,596,56O and profit and loss sur
plus increased from 1853 ,265 to $22,-
912, 1874. What present results are we
are unable to say. The stock pays 8
per cent, and this dividend has been
amply earned. We regard the stock as
speculative, however. because it is
sensitive to earnings. Austin, Nichols
& Co., Inc, for the year ended January
81, 1920. showed surplus after pre-
ferred dividends of $1,006,642, of which
1881 ,212 was transferred to capital pro-
portion for period to August 26, 1919,
leaving net surplus for the year &C
cruing to the present corporations Of
s625 ,43O We regard the preferred
stock as fair inve estment; the com
mon, which is held in a voting trust
until August /, 1924, as speculative.

Question-Taking advantage of the nnan.
cial information in The Tribune. l would
be obliged to you for any statement
regarding the failure Of the stockholders
of the Standard Oil Company of New
York to ratify the 200 per cent stock
dividend recently declared by the directors.
Kindly inform me II the company In such
r. case does not offer the stockholders
another opportunity to partalle of the sur
plus money shares for. as l understand
ii. they belong to the common stockhold-
ers.-- (Mrs) y. j.
Answer-We understand that there
was some disagreement among the
interests in the Standard OH Com
pany of New York regarding the advis-
ability of declaring a 200 per cent
stock dividend. There have been ru-
mors recently Of another plan to be
announced. We cannot confirm them,
however. The surplus belongs to the
stockholders, to be sure, but stockh old
ers do not always obtain what they
desire.

New-York tribune., 1920-11-14

Answer The Pennsylvania Ohio

~ per cent bonds are secured by first
lien on the main power house having
present capacity of 10000 horse
power and on all the high tension
transmission lines, and first lien on
large part of the distribution. sys-
tens. The company's earnings for the
year ended August 81, 1920, are more
tban 1S4 times all bond interest. This
margin is very fair one, although
we do not regard the bond as high
grade issue. Anaconda Copper 7 per
cent bonds are secured by stocks Of
subsidiary companies. The income is
ample to care for all interest charges.
The company is one of the largest
producers of copper and silver in the
world, and has always enjoyed good
credit, We regard the bonds as a very
fair investment for a business man.
Bethlehem Steel marine equipments
are secured by ships. A sinking fund
each year rctircs the bonds at ma
turity. Marine equipments are not. in
our opinion, as attractive as railroad
equipments, but the Bethlehem Steel
Company enjoys good credit and we

AN INTERNATIONAL HOAX.

From some unknown source pamphlet has come
into our hands 1t is pretentiousy entitled THE Re-
conquest of America" 1t purports be an unsigned
document found upon the streets of New York and
Is issued by The Statesman Press, whoever that
Germ may be. 1t is evidently being circulated broad
cast in the United States
We are told that it is the full text of the most
astounding document ever discovered in the history
of international intrigue"
We would pronounce it the full text of the most
astounding hoax ever perpetrated the American
people in effort dsrupting the good feeling ex-
listing between Great Britain and America
1t has every earmark of being a fraud 1t is ad
dressed to Lloyd George and is apparently full re-
port of the activities of the British service in
America The exposed German intrigue before and
during the war. used by the artist who wrote
this as his model 1t is efficiency in seuhng raised
to the nth power.
1t tells of the improved methods being used by the
secret operators to Anglicize America and procure
her return in loyalty to the mother country through
British American alliance.
1t recounts how they have filled our schools col
1eges, pulpts, Boy Scout offices, Y NJ c. AS and
even the presidency of the United States with British
sympathizers.
Gompers, John r. Mott and J. =. Morgan are only a
few Americans who have according to this absurd
hoax, loaned themselves unwilling tools to Eng

EX-GOVERNOR LINDsEY's COMMUNICATION

We yesterday printed a communication from Ex-
Governor w. f. Lindsey in reply to editorial on
the short ballot 1t is unfortunate that ypograph-
ical made the closing word corruption" in
stead of Correction should have said, Invoke
discussion which might lead to correction"
The ex-governor feels that We anticipated the re-
qurement of the law by calling upon Ex-Governor
Hagerman to give now distributed tabulaton
of expenditures when the law required that it
be given to the legislature of January l, 1921.
The journal feels that the public, which pays the
taxes has some slight interest in how the money is
being spent There is. feel, too much discussion
in the legislature, and little before the public, to
insure the public welfare. We intend, if possible to
to it that the public have hand in determining
whether curtament of expenditures expansion
of the sources of revenue, is the wisest course TO
pursue Unnecessary expense much be intelligently
eliminated, of course. But necessary road building
and school maintenance must not suffer until we
have carefully looked into every possible source
of where just share of the burden of tax
alton is not being borne
We very much desire to bring the whole question
of sources of revenue under the public eye. 1t may
develop the fact that all available be-
ing justly and fully taxed, but doubt it.
Retrenchment of expenditures should be consid-
cred concidentally with expansion of resources The
summer and fall should be devoted to an enlighten-
ment of the public upon these questions instead of
the Legislature is in session.
Mr.. Lindsey feels that a four-year term provides
adequate recall by limitation. His idea apparently
is that the people could stand anything for four
years better than they could stand the dsturbanc
caused by special election recall incapable Or
unworthy governor
Mr., Lindsey, like Mr. Hagerman, seems to resent
intimaton that the proposers of the short ballot
weak kneed" They weak kneed, " Ial-
though perhaps not consciously So These men have
the courage of their convictions beyond doubt But
Ahey lack the mental arrive the logical
conviction to which their own reasoning ought, we
feel, to lead them. That is to say, the conclusion
ought to be the flat decision that the must have
the right to "hire and fire in order have a re-
sponsive and responsible government We contend
that the people are the real boss and need that
power in reserve a general manager with such
extensive powers they propose to give the gov
ernor for a four-year term.
We certainly invite Mr.. Lindsey to contribute to
columns the results of his gubernatorial expert
to sources of waste extravaganza and neffi-
Mexico.
In fact ideal will have been reached when
ever have completely succeeded in making the
Journal clearing house for the exchange of ideas
upon matters affecting the interests of all peo-
pie. We certainly appreciate such communications
as those of Ex-Governors Lindsey and Hagerman
and Ex-Attorney General Clancy.

ANNUAL NEE TING
Of BANKERS IS
HELD At CLOVIS
10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE,

GsT MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRgI
Clovis, n. M, June 22.-More
than 100 bankers from New Mexico
and Texas attended the annual con-
Vention of the Panhandle Bankers
association here today. Repre-
sentatives of many large banking
houses are guests of the associa-
ton. On behalf of the city Of
Clovis Mayor Joe McClelland well
coined the financiers at the OPEN
ing session this morning.
r. l.. Van Zandt, governor of the
federal reserve bank, Dallas. who
is one of the distinguished guests
of the association, addressed the
bankers this morning ON the topic
Some Timely Thoughts touch
ing on conditions confronting the
financial institutions of the country.
and advising heads of banking
houses what they might expect
from the federal reserve system.
But it was noticeable that he made
no prediction as to the trend of
monetary affairs. He ventured no
assertions as to whether he be-
lieVed the money market would
Lessen or tighten during the next
few months. He reminded bankers
of the capabilities of the federal
reserve system during the strin-
Sency of the past ninety days.
However the predominating
feeling among the bankers is that
the peak of the stringency has been

The visitors were taken for

Wiggily. So he ran and the puppy
dog boys ran, but it was hard work
for the rabbit gentleman on ac-
count of carrying the board. And
the Bazoopa ran after them.
Pretty soon they came to a wide
brook. Jackie and Peetie could
