that If any of your bonds were called

New-York tribune., 1922-04-17

a policy Is sound if not carried to cx-
tremes. This raises still another point
to which the investor should give care
1ui consideration in times Of plenty
namely, the obligation Of corporation
II 1T lays claim to able management. to
have an eye for the inevitable rainy
day. Lack of caution in this respect
results too often in q difficult financial
situation during periods of defation
necessitating the fotation Of bond IS
sues, which remain a burden and be-
come a prior c lain on earnings during
subsequent periods Of prosperity.
TO determine the element OF specula-
tion attached TO dividend paying
stock, therefore, it is important not
only to know the current relation be-
tween dividends and earnings. but also
to inquire into cOmpany's past earn
ing power and dividend policy. For it
Is only by appraising surplus earnings
OF past years that one may estimate
how long particular company can
continue paying dividends that are not
fully earned
The management is speculating on
the prospect Of business improving in
time to cover dividends with earnings
before the surplus of past years is
drained to the danger point. Often the
reduction Of a dividend is the best
thing, that could happen from the
stockholders viewpoint
We suggest that YOU consider the
adVisability of finding substitute for
your Armour per cent notes now
rather than wait for their maturity in
June, and also that you take note of the
fact that the Northwestern Bell Tele-
phone Is are callable at any time. The
rest of your bonds are suitable for a
large investment and the ratio between
stocks and bonds is not out of line.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-17

we can say the same thing about
Pennsylvania Railroad stock, the divi-
dend rate on which was reduced from
6 per cent TO / per cent. The point is
that these companies are in better
position to pay the lower rate than the
higher one. Put in general terms, this
means that stock is safer, from an
investment standpoint, rs its dividend
rate is kept under the current rate Of
earnings.
Shares. of course, represent DE- .ner-
snip IN a business. rather than evidence
OF Indebtedness, and are more sensi-
tive to changing conditions than the
ponds OF the same company. There
IS another phase of this subject that
should not be overlooked. 1t is I'M
portant, as rule, that a stock
should pay a dividend we'll within its
abiilty to do so out of earnings. But
there are circumstances under which
corporation may continue to pay un-
earned dividends at what is known as
the regular rate"
1t is worth while recal1ino that +bo

your ideas concerning present shares for

mon Rand Mines (South Africa). also De
Beers Mines (South Africa), Messrs
I.ewtsohn acquired gold mines "Cioldate
Mines, Ltd" and also Island Oil and

Answer-Aside from Island Oil and
New Haven, the stocks YOU mention
may be attractive for those willing to
accept speculative risks. Chicago e.
Northwestern can be placed in the
same general class as Northern Pa
cltic, Great Northern Railroad, etc.
The two British mining stocks measure
up, to what we call an investment for
business man who can afford to ac-
cept some hazards. Wabash Railroad
preferred A is simply a speculation.
