On the question Of keeping secret

quoted from the Official Bulletin of
August 16, as follows:

public locally"
II hereby give it wide and non-ex-
elusive publicity" Governor Cox con
tinued why iwcre the names of To-
cal contributors not to be made
known? Was it because each con
tribution would carry it's own meaning
to the voters in the local communi-
ties? Certainly, there is some reason.
What is it? The public is entitled to
know.
IF Mr.. Hays and Mr. Upham do not
come forward with the information.

Quoting from message" written
by Senator Harding, the Republican
nominee, in the Official Bulletin of
August ., Governor Cox said that
Senator Harding expressed his graft
tude for "the enthusiasm shown" in,
raising the campaign fund.
That Mr.. Harding is acquainted,
even with the details OF the enter

passage" said Governor Cox, which
is as follows,

presses itself in support from every

feet, a sort Of special surplus fund
created out Of the undivided profits
to provide additional safety for the
preferred stock issue at all times, to
be- used only in those periods when
current earnings, together with other
undivided profits, are insufficient to
take care of the Sinking Fun require
ments. If the Special Reserve Fund
is encroached upon for this purpose,
it is usually to require drastic reduc-
ton or discontinuance Of the divl-
dends on the Common Stock until 1t
is restored. 1t Is provision whlch
appeals strongly to us as most de-
sirable protection to the investor, and
its creation by company raising
money is a good test of the sincerity
of its desire to give the investor every
protection and to dedicate the major
part of the profits of the business to

Those bought from brokers or
bankers less careful of the interest of
their clients than Of their own, often
lack many provisions which respon-
sible bankers require. All companies
would take their offerings to respon-
sible bankers if they could meet the
requirements, because it is so much
more to the company's advantage to
have the constan t and consistent
moral support arising from such a
connection, which can be obtained
almost in no other way.
Incidently, it Is much less costly to
sell an issue through a banker or the
highest standing, because it is easier
and, therefore, less expensive for such
a house to resell it to the public.

No. 5.

MAINTENANCE NET QUICK AS
SETS: This is to maintain net quick
assets at some reasonable percentage
Of preferred stock. The usual mini
mum is 100 per cent and the maxi
mum 200 per cent. A requirement
of 15. per cent is very good. Net
quick assets means the amount the
company would have left in cash pro-
vided it stopped business, sold out its
goods, collected its accounts, after
having paid from the amount so real
lied all of its debts. It would have
left in addition all real estate, invest

usual to provide that the penalty for

a great number of citizens in every
thing affecting the slightest interest
of the business so supported and pro-
vides a body of friendly partisans who
observe every move and every trans

industry so supported; thus there
will be many to help the manage

The character of the individual

not as it should be, it will not be pos
