SUGGEST CABINET
SECRETARY Of AIR

manager of the Skyline Airplane Co.
of California. who is ~endeavoring to
organize and establish airline traffic
in this state, this uncomfortable posi-
ton of the United States manufac-
turers a be easily obviated.
Said Jacobs: 1.-The reason why Eu-
rope is so far ahead of our country in
the aircraft industry is because the
governments of England and France
have taken in hand the development
of commercial aviation.
I'm our government today there are
four branches using the airplane and
aerostat-the army, the navy. the post
the forestry branch of its work. All
of these departments have representa-
ton in the Presidents cabinet and APP
preparations are made to them for
their work, of which aviation is but a
part. In consequence one of these
departments is particularly interested
III dNldtiOH tAttpt as II iCidtCo W
their especial needs. If aviation were
put under a special department and
a secretary of ~airservice placed in the
cabinet, not only would the afore-
mentioned departments receive better
consideration for its needs, but there
would be an encouragement for pri-
xrof1 nn+arpr;Cn IN dopa1nn fhn anrfal
engine and plane. and commercial
aviation would come into it's own as
1t has in Europe.
There are a few successful aerial
lines in the east. but the propaganda
has not as yet reached this coast.
With the arrival of the tr~anscontinen-
tal mail planes, the west is awaken
ing to a realization of what il might
eventually benefit by the general use
Of the plane for transportation of ex-
press and passengers, aside from the
mail service. Railroads will be un-
necessary to towns now far distant
from main lines. They Will be en-
abled to develop in spite of railways
and roads. rather than because of
them.
1.-The main thing now is 10 bring
the matter to the attention of the next
President and have him incorporate
in his first message to congress the
suggestion for the creation of a sep
arate air service"
Jacobs is endeavoring to accustom
the people of Nevada to the use of
the airplane and will shortly project
ar aerial service throughout this
state.
In a phone conversation with Lieu
tenant Fuller, who is in Elko with the
"F1yabout," Jacobs learned that Full
Ter thoroughly inspected the all-metal
mail plane when it landed at Elko a
few DAYS ago.. and had entered into
negotiations with John l.. Larsen. its
designer for the purchase of one for
the Nevada service. They cost $4,000
and delivery will be made within
ninety days, by which time it is an
ticipated the organization will be
complete. Meanwhile the ~three-pas-
senger Flyabout will be at the disposal
of those who require or desire its use
for business or pleasure, Fuller will
be back here in a few days.

MAY NOT SPLIT
VOTE FOR SENATOR
(By Spellier in Gazette)

There is considerable speculation
as to just what effect the candidacy of
Miss Martin will have on the result of
the general election in case she runs
as an Independent candidate. Early in
the campaign it was generally be-
lieved that her candidacy would make
Henderson's election about as sure
rs it did two years ago. when she
split the Republican vote and polled
5000 votes herself. But conditions
are vastly different this year. with
every indication that the Republican
vote will be EAST almost solidly for
the Republican candidate. If this
view be correct Miss Martins
strength will come chiefly from the
Democrats who are not satisfied with
the administrations record or with
the part Senator Henderson played at
Washington, particularly with his
double-barrelled policy on the League
of Nations, being likely to vote for
Miss Martin in preference to jumping
into the Republican pasture. That
seems to be the view that is taken by
many Democrats as well as most Re-
pu%blicans. If the theory is correct
there seems to be no doubt but what
the Republican candidate is reason
ably sure of election.
There is another side to the con-
gressional campaign this year. In
dications from all over the state are
that Nevada's three electoral votes
will go for Harding and Coolidge.
With sentiment strong in favor of the
Republican presidential ticket it is
not likely the personal factor will be
strong enough to carry Democratic
congressional candidates to victory
in the wake of a Republican wave.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1920-08-10

Goldfeld undoubtedly have gone to
mining districts in other states. The
Republicans hope they all went to
Texas. II is going TO make a vast
difference and may result in throwing
Nevada into the Republican column.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1920-08-10

Senator Henderson will have no
opposition for the Democratic NOM
nation. This was apparent when
ames T. Boyd. who had a real de-
sire 10 make the rae against Hen
deIscn. was stricken seriously i'll and
is still confined to his home. Boyd
so his friends say. was prepared to
make a strenuous primary campaign
against Senator Henderson and often
expressed confidence in defeating
him for the nomination.
Ray Baker at one time was seri-
ously considering making a fight
against Henderson, but finally decided
to stay out of it. 1t is common know
ledge that what kept Baker out of the
fight was not a feeling hat Senator
Henderson would defeat him, but 9
well-founded impression that the
Democratic machine would not be
back of him should he win the nomi-
nation.

Bought Blindly; Still in Dark

Question have 100 shares Of Indian
Packing stock, which 1 bought at 30 and
which is now about IA Will you be good
enough to advise if this stock is worth
holding B. c.
Answer-Indian Packing stock is one
of those issues which caused somewhat
of a sensation when it was first placed
on the market. 1t was so we'll adver-
tised that the public rushed madly to
their brokers in order to have their
orders ready when the stock opened on
the Curb. We are informed that the
underwriting price of Indian Packing
was between $12 and $15 share. When
it opened it sold close to $50. 1t was
a bonanza for some people. but certain
ly not for those who rushed in to buy
it during those first few days Of trad
ing. The company has issued no fnan-
cial statement recently so it is not pos
sible to form an intelligent opinion as
to the value of the stock In this case
most people bought blindly. They are
still in the dark, apparently.

:. Answer-Only two securities on vour
list are entitled to investment ratings
steel and Tube preferred and Gotham
national Bank stock We believe YOU
would make no mistake in purchasing
them. The others are speculative in
varying degrees. Nipissing has paid
large dividends over period of many
years. yet there is always the chance
OF the ore reserves Of such mines run
nlng out. Anaconda has been and is
stu a large producer of both copper
and silver, but earnings are subject tc
considerable fluctuations, and likewise
the price Of the stock. Interborough
RAPID Transit has not yet settled its
controversy with the city. The bonds
are. to be sure, selling on very HIGH
income basis, and have possibly dis
counted the situation to a large extent
yet they must be considered as specu-
latlve until the situation becomes less

number of years. These bonds are selling
far below what I paid for Nem. Do you
consider these bonds good inves stment?
also have some S. W. Straus & Co. 6 per

wise me to do this? / bought 81 900 worth

ible at l06. would you advise selling these
bonds now and buying the Telephone stock
at the market to hold to them ?-F.
Won H.
Answer Practically all bonds have
declined considerably in price recently.
This is due to the high rates for
money Recent financing by various
corporations of good credit at high
rates have tended to lower the price
of bonds to such an extent that many
issues are selling at the lU+est prices
in their history We regard the
Southern Bell Telephone bones as a
good investment regardless of their
low price. The Straus bonds offer a
well secured per cent investm ent
The American Telephone convertible
bonds are of course prior to the stock
of the company and in consequence are
bette. secured. We do not believe you
would be lettering your position by
selling them and purchasing the stock
at the present time.
