THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Now that the Congressional campaign is beginning
the Republicans in Congress hiking back home to tell
the people all the good things they have done for the
country
Spelbinders will soon be out on the stump telling
the dear people of the great achievements of nearly four
years OF Republican control of Congress- and those who
have this early begun not as optimistic as they should
be-
With business booming as it is wthfactories running
night and day and labor high and scarce as to be
problem with the factories with the farmer getting the
highest prices ever known for his products with manu-
featured articles selling at reasonable prices notwithstand
ing the high cost of production and with everyone pros
porous and happy and with want or dissatisfaction ii
tne land, with labor and capitai working in
sweet accord as result of Republican legislation the
overwhelming success of the Republican party this fall
ought to be fOregone conclusion
But it seems that the people can not stand prosperity
and are mutterng in grave discomfort and some are even
wishing for the low prices low wages and general business
sagpaton under the Wilson administration and some Of
the farmers and abong people are even threatening to
vote against the great REPUBLICAN, party that has ushered us
into the last two years Of unexamped business prosperity
and era of content and happiness p'O'pe' '''

ROCKS FOR ROAD BILL.

The Senates decision to re-draf the roadbond issue
may be the death of the bom' issue.
The question of roads is not question of next CEN
ty but Of now To postpone the submission of the ques
tion till 1924 will mean that the consituonaty of the bill
will have to be taken up then and at least another year
will have elapsed before the bonds can be offered and con-
tracts let for the construction of the roads, In the mean
time three will have been spent in needless waiting and
the people prevented from the benefits of the roads
The matter of whether the commission is twelve six
or four relatively unmportan The stubborn fact
that stands out is that the people want good roads and
want them now What can be gained by postponing the
vote till 1924? The problem of financing them will be as
difficult two years from now as at the present Why not
tackle the job and finish it at once
The eastern part of Kentucky Is tied to poverty and
lack of opportunity for development by the lack of good
roads, It matter of financial life and death with them
Posponing the vote two years will spell financial ruin
to the mountains

vertng your holdings into othsr bonds
and preferred stocks. 1t might be
good idea to make the changes gradu-
ally. taking advantage OF opportunities
as they present themselves from now
until next winter. If you arc not DE- p.
pendent on the income from this money
we think you might consider investing
the greater part of it in preferred
stocks, the dividends on which are cx
cmpt from The normal income tax.
American Locomotive preferred, Corn
Products preferred and American Car
and Foundry preferred yield at current
quotations about per cent, and be
long, we think, among the best Of this
class of stocks. Slightly more specula-
tive, but backed by good dividend rec
ords, are American Can preferred,
American Smelling preferred and
Studcbaker preferred. 1t will be noted
that these stocks yield from to 7 per

ucts common listed on the Now York Stock
Exchange. should much appreciate any
mi ornation YOU can furnish mo regarding
It's management. past record, dividend
record. If any, and its outlook.-J. s.
Answer The Iron Products Corpora
ton was incorporated in 1919 as n
holding company for the Central
Foundry Company, the Essex Foundry
and the Chattanooga Iron and Coal Cor
poration. The company was not in ex-
lStence long before it ran into the de
preston that has affected industries
IN general during the last two years
In 1919 the constituent companies
earned at the rate Of $l.82 a share on
the 1856 shares Of common stock Of
the Iron Products Corporation, and in
1920 at the rate of 1898 a share on
the lO5,226 shares of common. The re
suits for 1921 have not been announced
as yet. No dividends have been paid
on the common stock, but the regular
rate of per cent on the preferred
stock has been paid since the stock was
ISSUED. The most we can say of the
company's prospects is that there has
been an Improvement in its line of
business and the company will be in
line for further improvement if the
much ia lked-of building boom should
matcrlalize.

Answer-Thc New Orleans, Texas (
Mexico Railway is not only paying
its dividends regularly on the per
cent income bonds, but has been pay
ing dividend at the annual rate of
per cent on its stock since December.
1920. Tho dividend was earned by a
wide margin in 1920 and 1921 and
current operations are satisfactory.
There is reason for encouragement in
the situation, and we therefore de
scribe the income bonds as security
suitable for business man who can
AFFORD to assume the risks involved.
The yield at the recent market price
is about 9.45 per cent.

Large Share In Stocks

Question VIII You be kind enough to

Foundry ia high grade Investments? |
nave recently purchased three $1,000 bonds
OF the former issue and ono 900 bond OF
tho latter issue Have held nifty shares OF
PennSy lVania. How do YOU regard same ?
-. r.
Answer. Neither of these securities
is exactly a high grade investment, but
the Mercantile Marine Is are the better
and sound enough, in our opinion. The
Central Foundry SIS are what we term
business mans investment; that is,
an investment for any person who is
willing to take the risks involved and
is in position to keep posted on de-
velopments in the company. The Penn
sylyania Railroad has had material
change for the better in it9 earning
position, and although we consider the
stock as one having speculative feat
ures, we see no reason for dsposnC of
1t at present. However, VIC think that

only other securities you hold there is
rather large share of your investment
