DISASTROUS EXPLOITS.

Disastrous exploits of this kind have
not been confined during recent years
to shysters of little standing. Some
of the worst hotations have been
fathered BY houses, individuals and
inst itutions of the highest financial
rating. Far too many of the bankers
Of today do not confne themselves to
strictly banking business. Their itch
for wealth incites them to participate
In all sorts of financiering.
So far as know the highest salary
paid to any bank official in this
country 10 800 700. But how many
bank officials are worth anywhere
from 81 10000 to $40. 1000. 900?
OF course. not all bankers, BY any
means. have become wealthy through
questionable methods. Many Of them
are honest to the core Yet were all
the facts available IL would probably
be revealed that . great deal Of the
money made by hank officials and
private bankers has come from using
information coming to them because
of their position. that Is, using their
information to sell stocks or buy
stocks when outside stockholders
didn't have this Same information.
WHAT Is THE DIFFERENCES
Is there. after all, very much diff
ference between taking money from
the public this way than byeplaying
with loaded dice or marked cards?
Can you see any dinerence?
/ can't
Money made this way isn't worth
making. 1t brings with 1t its own
poison. But so much of this kind
of fleeing of the public has come
into vogue that the people may de-
eide that something more forceful
than An appeal to conscience Is nee.
essary to Quash It.
That angry Interference with the
operations OF our delicately adjusted
financial machinery would almost GER
tainly cause grave trouble and dislo-
cation, resulting in losses to us all.
