SEES TREND TO
CONSERVATISM
Tax Reduction Will Help,
Says Moody

Moody's Weekly Review OF Finan.
cial Conditions, in It's current issue,
says In part:
Tho new tax cutting proposals
imply conservatism on tho part Of
tho president and his cabinet; but
the real gain shown by these pro-
poBals together with election re-
turns, appears 10 be that the prog.
ress OF radicallsm Is now meeting
opposition.
I'm view OF the slump In stocks
and bonds following the 1922 con-
gressional elections, the recent cleo.
ton returns should be regarded az
proper investment subject. when
properly analysed, these returns dis.
close n trend OF sentiment back TO-
ward conservatism In the great
manufacturing states, continued
movement toward radicalLsm in the
grain states, and growth OF tho
strength OF the opposition party in
the South.
Political history ancient and
modern, shows that prosperity
makes votes in favor Of the status
quo. and adversely against IL. II
shows. too. that the percentage OF
swing from one party to the other
Is practically uniform wherever
business conditions are uniform.
Utilizing this scientific principle. the
political sentiment OF the whole
country has often been accurately
estimated from special elections in a
single state or locality.
Thus II is indicated that II
presidential election had been held
last week, It would have been de-
cided by a plurality Of only Is 10
30 votes in the electoral college.
However. the slow agricultural re-
covery is tending TO restore con-
servative sentiment in the West"
