RAILROAD AID BOND BILL NOW
BEFORE LEGISLATURE

Sometime ago we published quite
lengthy article on what we thought
would be good law to relieve the
counties in this state that had 20 rail
roads, and adSocated the introduction
and passage of a law enabling coun
ties, townships and municipalities to
bond themselves to aid in building
railroads, and thus better their condi
ton, by providing adequate transpor
tation facilities. There was a good
ieal OF favorable comment on thus
article at the time, and later we wrote
to State Senator Covey, and asked
him TO use bis best efforts to get such
a law passed and placed on the statu
te books In the mean time Postmas
ter SAWYER 90: busy and procured a
copy Of the Kansas railroad aid bond
law, made copy of it, and sent it to
Representative Perry for introd uction
and Mr.. Sawyer on Wednesday of
this week received a letter from Rep
resenia.lve Perry stating that the bill
had been introduced on February ii,
the last day for introducing bills at
this session Of the legislature. Now
if the legislature in its wisdom will
only pass this bill, We believe the rail.
roadless counties in this state will
soon be in position to solve their
transportation problems. Now all
you fellows who would like to see
such law on our statute books jIst
get busy and write to your Represen
tative and Senator, and ask him to
support and work for the passage Of
this bill.

MEXICO CITY FEARS
ANARCHY IN YUCATAN
Plea Made to Capital to In
crease Federal Forces.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 17.-Disquietins
reports of "anarchistic'' conditions in
the State of Yucatan continue to arrive
here and further sanguinary clashes be-
tween radicals and conservatives are
feared.
A second committee of Yucatan Jour
nalists has arrived here to present a
memorial TO President Obregon asking
that guarantees be given and that fed
eral forces be augmented Immediately in
order to prevent a situation which is
described as serious from becoming more
threatening.
Members OF the committee were
quoted In the newspapers here as say
ing that virtual state of anarchy pre-
walls In Yucatan and that the only guar
antee of protection is good revolver
and an ability to use It.
The editors of three conservative
newspapers in Merida, the State capital.
have been the object of many attacks
by the Socialists. So serious have been
the threats that the newspaper Offices
are under constant guard

YAWN PROVES
TO BE TIME EXPOSURE
Dislocotes Both Jaws; Takes
80 Minutes to Set.

KANSAS City, Sept. 17.-George. Ray,
% years ola. Central Hotel, Fourth and
Main streets, employed as a laborer by
the Massman Construction Company in
2 railroad camp at Wolcott. Kan. sought
his cot in the camp at Z AS o'clock last
night.
As a man who has done a worthy
days work, Ray lay back on his cot,
stretched out his arms and yawned.
With the yawn, however, his peaceful
ness was transformed into a pang of
terror. He came UP on his cot waving
his arms wildly and accompanying his
gestures with a gurgling sound
His companions rushed from their cots
to investigate the cause of the commo-
tion. They discovered the yawn was a
time exposure. Rays jaws would not
close. Ray was put into a motor car
and brought to the General Hospital
here. Both jaws, it was found, were
dislocated. 1t required thirty minutes
for physicians to reset Rays jaws.

Comparing Bonds to Savings Account

Questlon-For beginner with $500 to
sa'coo go - 90 you consider any stocks or bonds
gest a method Of choosing a reliable
broker? 1t is my idea, in order to build
up up, Working capital. to buy at the present
course OF year or SO. Do you consider
this good judgment. or is 1t speculation?-
Answer-Buying for rise or selling
for fall is speculation, whether in
Liberty bonds or Noil stocks. Invest
ing is the employment of capital for
are not, however, mutually exclusive.
The attitude and motive of the operator
probably determine whether his pur-
chases and sales are speculative. If
you make your purchases now and your
first requisite is safety of principal
and income, with an eye on apprecia-
tion Of principal as a secondary con-
sideration, you will be investing, and,
we think, wisely. We frequently men
tion investment bonds and stocks in
these columns. There are stocks and
bonds whose income return can be re-
garded as closely approximating the
safety Of savings bank interest, as
savings banks are conducted in this
state; but so far as safety Of prin-
cipal is concerned, we are inclined to
beNeVe that the savings bank, which
must and does pay the face Of the in
vestment on demand, or nearly so. has
the advantage. The most conservative
bonds and stocks are subject to more
or less fiuctuation in price. 1t is true,
OF course, that the ultimate security
back OF savings bank deposits is
nothing but those same securities or
mortgages, but the bank holds so many
different kinds of them that the diver
sity thereby obtained contributes a
security Of principal that the individual
cannot acquire. Depositors pay for
this security and the privilege of real
izing their principal in the lower income
return. For your purposes investment
securities probably afford all the Sc
curity you require. Brokers who adver-
tise in The Tribune will handle your
account.

probably know. A large amount NAV
be expended on the production Of a

You state that you need everv pennv

that you should be more conse ryat;ve
in your investments. Good real estate
mortgages do not return as high an in
come as do many Of the new issues of
bonds. but they are entitled to better
rating. Do not be too anxious to OBJ
tain high yield. Remember that a
few years ago, if one could obtain s
per cent he was doing we'll. OF course
living costs are higher, but they
should decrease, and good securitics
or mortgages to yield per cent to 7

opinion. We frequently mention such

Hub Brokers Bankrupt;
Difficulty Laid to Loan
Funds Tied Up in Century Steel
Company, According to
Earnest E. Smith

BOSTON, Jan. 18.-Receivers were
appointed to-day for the brokerage and
investment security firm of Earnest E.
Smith and Company, members of the
New York and Boston Stock Exchanges,
which previously had filed a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy and had been
suspended from the local exchange
The receivers are Freeman A. Hinck-
ley, George c. Baldwin and Walter II.
Foster.
In the bankruptcy petition the assets
at first were listed as $1,397,34s. but
this figure was corrected to S727,222
after debts due the firm on open &C.
counts with face value Of $67O,126
had been removed from the list as
OF uncertain value. The liabilities
were given as $848,694.
The assets listed consist Of bank
deposits of S24.252, stocks and bonds
chiefly of New England industrial en-
terprises and the firms seats on tho
two stock exchanges.
Mr.. Smith said in a statement: "The
loyalty Of our firm to its customers
has caused our embarrassment. We
loaned $643.731 to the Century Steel
Company believing that when general
business improved earnings would re-.
store to the stockholders their invest
ment."
Ernest E. Smith & Co., whose failure
was announced to-day in Boston, has
no connection with Ernest Smith & Co..
New York brokerage firm. While the
boston house was q member Of the
New York Stock Exchange, it did not
have any Office here.

no general basis for your rating Of this

critical Judgment a little more fully ex-
Answer - The American Telephone

class of stock, which is common. We
have been giving it better rating than
you, quote because the company did
during the war, its earnings are in

TRUCK TRANSFORMATION IN ARIZONA PLAYS
 IMPORTANT PART

Phoenix, July 13.-Truck transpor- tation over state highways is destined to play an important part in securing reasonable freight charges for short hauls in the same manner that trans portation through the Panama canal has had a desirable effect on trans continental shipments. This was seen in a hearing before the Arizona Cor poration commission this week to con- slider three applications for freight line permit between Phoenix and Globe over the new state highway be- tween Superior and Miami.
 "We propose to save from 25 cents to 75 cents on every hundred pounds of merchandise shipped into Globe, de- clared H. G. Lancaster, one of the applicants. MT. Lancaster is assis- tant to the manager of the Miami Copper Co.,, and represents the mem bers of the Graham Gila Traffic as sociation, composed of all the large producing mines of these two coun
