Recommendation as to
Beer and Wine
Straw Ballot

The Anti.Saloon organizations
of the state, including the W. c.
T. L., the Law and Order League,
the National Reform Association,
the Anti.Saloon League and many
church temperance societies recon-
mend that the drys DO NOT VOTE
on the beer and wine proposal.
They recommend however, that
the drys rally every possible vote
for candidates for Congress and
the State Legislature who stand
opposed TO the wet notification
program--the candidates endorsed
by the Anti-Saloon League.
Why drys SHOULD NOT VOTE
on the BEER AND WINE ques.
ton:
|. The vets are seeking TO bring
back the liquor traffic without
amending the Constitution. This
would be QUALIFICATION.
?. The wet program proposes to
declare four per cent beer and
wines containing from 10 to Is per
cent alcohol to be non. intoxicat-
ing. This would be untrue and UNI
fair.
3. The wet program is deceptive
and impossible. The vets claim
opposition to the saloon, but their
program would destroy every bit
of dry territory in the state.
4. To vote either for or against
beer and wine program would be
to accept the wet claim that the
liquor traffic can be re-established
without removing the Eighteenth
Amendment from the Constitution.
Patriots should not fall into this
trap.

Secretary Davis of the Department
of Labor is quoted as follows:
water does not agree with the
stomach as we'll as does beer. Some
of the men Those who handle white
hot iron in a mill feel that they can't
drink water at that time. My pal tells
me that his tomach rejects it, his
throat seems to collapse as the gulps it.
But beer he can drink, and it eases
him. The alcohol in the beer is a
blessing at this time. 1t soothes his
laboring stomach until the water can
get into his system and quench the
mans thirst"
| have no doubt the secretary is a
very fine gentleman, and great sec
rotary of labor, and perhaps, at one
time, was something of puddler, but
what he does not know about physi-
ology and hygiene is enough, and then
some. #s.s-.t

ACTIVITIES OF RAIDERS
INCREASE BOOTLEG PRICES

Reports to Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes show that increasing scarcity of
bootleg whisky in some of the western
states, due to frequent raiding parties
conducted by federal, municipal and
county officials, has caused an increase
of more than ten per cent in the price
demanded for their product by the boot
leggers. 1t is also noted that the hooch
is becoming more and more poisonous
with its increasing scarcity.

Annie Margin of secnritv

Question Enclosed please find clipping
from The Eimtra Telegram All am
the Pere Marquette Railroad by the In
ierstats Commerce Commission. On your
recommendation was to-day intending to
buy the prior preference stock for invest
ment purposes--Mrs. G. A.
Answer-We do not see that there is
anything in the newspaper clipping you
sent us that should change your CON
ception of the Investment value of Pere
Marquette prior preference stock. The
article in question came from the off
motive Engineers and allowance must
be made, therefore, for the point of
view Of the writer. No official and
final estimate of the Pere Marquette's
valuation has yet been published. but
even granting that the figures quoted
in this article are correct, there is an
ample margin of security for the prior
preference stock. This stock and the
bonds which have prior claim to
earnings aggregate $56,277 900. The
company Is allowed to keep earnings
equal to 5A per cent of property
valuation and divides the remainder
equally with the government The pre-
ferred stock receives per cent, and
the average interest rate on the bonds
is less than per cent. Thus, you see,
there would be an ample margin for
dividends on the prior preference even
IL the property valuation were fixed no
higher than is claimed in the article
you read, and il there is nothing over
5A per cent to divide with the govern
ment. But the Pere Marquette earned
IN the hrst half OF 1922 the equivalent
of Sd per cent on q property valuation
of Slo4,o0o,000, fixed by private, i'm
partial agency. The brotherhood or
gan claims that shippers and passen-
gers are overcharged and employees
beaten down in their wages in order to
pay s2,ooO,000 in dividends on the
stock. AS matter of fact the annual
dividends on both classes of preferred
stock are only $1,181,45o No dividends
arc being paid on the common stock.

selling so close to 100 that ali their
attractiveness would be lost to every
one except conservative investors. That
prospective profit of $700 on FIVE
bonds is the inducement offered to any
one willing to buy bonds containing an
element of uncertainty. The St. Paul
system is not now earning its fixed
charges. During the ten years begin
ning 1905 the road expanded its funded
debt and made vast increase in its
capital stock for costly extension to
the Pacific Coast. That extension has
not yet justified its existence and the
expense of carrying it through is a
heavy burden on the system. We do
not recommend the As of 1925 for in

To figure the precise yield on bond It
is necessary to use yield tables but the
approximate yield can roughly be figured
out by the following formula: Divide the
closing quotation on a bond int the rate
OF the annual Yeturn. If the bond is selling
below par .vu must allow also for the
appreciation of the principal TO do this
subtract the market quotation from par
or 100. and divide the remainder by the
fore maturity. For examp.e, il per
cent bond is selling at 90 and has ten
years TO run, the annual return will be SOS
per cent The difference between par and
the market price will be 10 points, euD-
tracing 90 from 100. dividing 10 points
by ten 3ears the quotation Will be l. This
annual return. and the result, 7.66 per
cent. Will give you the approximate Yield.
