mittee. This body has just conclud-
ed its work and in report that is
generally characterized by fairness
and an appreciation of the Difficult
ties that inhere in the business of
risk bearing, two passages are es-
pecially noteworthy. One of these
relates to the disposition of the aver
age insurance dollar, and shows that
SO cents of it stops in the state.
The other paragraph is concerned
with the recurrent proposals for
Valued Policy law:
"The committee found that a val
ued policy law changes the nature
of a contract from one of indemnity,
for which insurance was created, to-
an absolute promise to pay the
amount fixed by the contract It was
found by experience of other states,
notably Missouri and Tennessee, that
the adoption of this form of legisla-
tion tended to increase the total loss
and increase the fire waste, and by
so doing correspondingly increased
the cost of insurance. directly con-
trary to the general desire to reduce
insurance cost. Insurance is an in
and not field of shadowy
speculation. 1t is intended to pro-
tect against loss, and not to give the
few something for nothing at the ex-
pense of the many, No law should
be adopted that would hold out an
incentive for profit in the burning

ceived in cash dividends, $322,300,-
4O6. In 1922, after investing sever
al billions more capital for addition
al facilities, cash dividends paid the
stockholders amounted to $271,576,-
900, or $5O,724,4O6 less than in
1918.
In other words taxes paid by the
railroads in 1922 exceeded by IL per
cent the amount of cash dividends
paid to railroad stockholders.
There is a point beyond which
railroad taxes can not go without
causing increased freight or pas
senger rates and if that point has
not already been reached and even
passed the above figures indicate per-
ilous proximity to it.
The people have a right to relief.
Those in public office who believe

frown on taxpayers for daring to de-
mand economy in managing the in

other public officers for undertaking

INCREASED COST OF GOVERN
MENT

Economists may well concern
themselves with increasing cost of
government national, state and
municipal-as reflected by increased
taxation.
1t has become a grave economic
problem, graver than any other con-
fronting owners of taxable property.
Taxes paid by the railroads fair
ly illustrate it, and every dollar of
taxes paid by the railroads is I'LL
timately paid by the people in freight
and passenger rates.
In 1913 railroad taxes amounted
to $127,725,s O9 In 1922 railroad
taxes amounted to s3O1,OO3,227, an

PATERNALIzING PRODUCTION

Our country has prospered in the
past century by giving the people as
good government as possible and let
ting them manage their own indus
tries and business to the best of their
native ability.
When the great world war broke
out we were the richest, strongest
in man power and manufacturing
ability of any nation in the world,
and we had accomplished this para
mount position by the above policy.
Constant efforts are made to
change our system of handling the
affairs of this nation away from the
lines and experience of century,
and to substitute European ideas of
a more paternalistic policy.
The proposition is made to have
the government help the wheat
growers by buying and storing 2OO.-
100000 bushels of wheat and to
hat extent easing over-production
ind decline of world markets.
1t looks very attractive and the
government might make lot of
money on the investment, but the
'recedent could be just as we'll en-
loyed to help silver, potatoes or any
Their article of commerce.
When lumber or oil, or coal pro-
uction passed the market demand
he same argument would hold good
let the government buy the surplus.

-ould change our entire system.

BUSINESS BACK TO NORMAL

Probably no President ever came
into the White House bearing with
him more confidence of business
than Calvin Coolidge He is looked
upon as a protector of all whole
some practices of industrial machin-
cry, and spokesman of the railroad
executives have already expressed
themselves as expecting that radical
and inimical legislation as regards
the roads will be forestalled. The
growing prosperity of the railroads
is one of the encouraging features
of the country's business situation,
and no small contributing factor and
indication of the Nations welfare.
The so-called plight of the farm
er has been oyerdrawn. Huge sur
pluses of crops will probably not ap-
pear. Senator Smoot declares Eur
ope will not be in a financial position
to buy much in the line of grains.
Indications are that the adjustment
of supply and demand will come
about naturally.
OF course, the foreign turmoil over
war issues, now of long standing, is
full of potentialities as regards the
United States, politically and in a |
business way, but the balance of
business sentiment is optimistic that
the severe PREPARATIONS tangle will be
solved without plunging the world
into war.
Steel industry, always considered
a reliable barometer, is looking up,
and this holds good for many funda-
mental industries.
Prosperity still dominates the sit
nation, and the outlook is favorable.

THE MODERN WAY

The California-oregon Power CO..
operating in northern California anC
southern Oregon, has been rapidly
extending it's system and selling it:
securities among its employees, Gust
omers and the people living in the
territory it serves.
1t is typical of public utility that
identifies iself closely with commun-
ity development.
In mailing out its regular dividend
checks to stock holders, instead of
merely enclosing a perfunctory let
ter, it recently sent photographs of
actual construction operations, to-
gether with letter outlining the
work the company was doing. The
descriptive matter was so plain and
the figures were so clear that any per-
son could understand it, being strik-
ing contrast to the technical finan-
cial statements which few persons
except an expert accountant can un-
derstand. Accompanying the photo
graphs and the explanatory letter
was map showing the entire field
Of operation of the company.
Progressive management of this
kind is worth mention as it takes the
mystery out of public utility opera
ion by making the stockholders and
he public actual partners in their
understanding Of the problems faced
~ these great public servants.

Beginning with 1905, when the world

1t was the Philadelphia Nationals
hrst appearance in a world series. and
the club started off on its champion
ship quest with a rush. winning the
first game, played at Philadelphia on
a field heavy after a downpour, on
the admirable pitching of Alexander.
But Philadelphia had shot its bolt,
and did not win another game. The
best the club could do thereafter was
to trail In one run behind its oppon-
ents. Three of the next four games
ended with score of to 1, while
the last ended at to 4.
This was the season of the great
sacrifice. Both managers employed
almost identical tactics. If a batter
got TO flrSI with none; out, the next
batter was ordered to sacrifice The
program was so regular that long
before the series ended the spectators
had taken it up and were advising
every man who walked to the plate
to "bunt it."

and Schang in the series of 1918, but
the Chicagos were so full OF strike taat
II didn't make much difference. Schang
did not catch great ball, and Chicago
did not play great ball.
The black series Of 1919 found Schslk
fighting dishonest members of his own
team. As catcher he shone no brighter
thap Wingo, but how could he under
such conditions?
O'NeilI OF Cleveland surpassed Miller
OF Brooklyn in his decline in the 1920
series. In 1921 Schang was outplayed by
his Giant rival, Snyder. and in 1922 the
same thing happened again. VIII his
tory repeat itself in 1923?
Surely il seems that the catcher must
have his place in the world series as
well az the pitcher. Let the backstop
be considered a potent factor in this
meeting OF the base bail giants, be-
clever director behind the bat does his
full share toward making the throwing
OF the pitchers more effective.
Schang Weak i'm Big Series.
A glance at the records will show
that Schang never has distinguished
himself in world series, and those who
are raving now about the great superb
ority Of the Yankees pitchers, might
pause long enough to compare his past
performances in the classic with the
two men who win be his rivals in the
1928 encounter.
Snyder outplayed Schang in the last
two series. and Gowdys work far sur
passed Schang's catching in 1914. Per
haps it will be different this year, or
perhaps the Yanks will get such su-
perior pitching that fine backstop work
will not be required.
But don't forget that more than so
per cent of the world series wineers
were teams that had the best catching.
