RIVERSIDE MONKS
HARD TO PLEASE

AS the season draws to a close for
the Riverside Amusement Park, win
ter quarters for the animals who
have given so much entertainment
to the folks of Indianapolis becomes
a problem. c. A. Golfer. one of the
managers of the park, says that
while the monks are housed in
a nice warm. specially built home.
they are not pleased. They have set
up a terrible howl, he said, that can
be heard all over the park. But, the
point is that they are being well
cared for and will be well cared for
aid ready to entertain their friends
again next year.
Canvasses will be stretched over
the north side Of the cages for the
fur-bearing animals, and they will
have nothing to worry about. AS

and the whole matter was finally
thrown into conference.
At an early meeting the confer
enc committee announced that an
agreement between the two houses
was utterly impossible and that
therefore no bill could be passed.
I did o place great reliance upon
the statement issued. l could not
believe the interests would permit
the session to close without another
effort to carry out their plans, but
Congress and the country generally
accepted the statement with express
sions of general satisfaction mat the
whole matter should go over to a
later period, when something of SID-
,stantial merit might be secured.
For many weeks not a word was
heard from this committee on con.
ference, and then suddenly on May
81, three days before adjournment,
this measure Of vital Importance was
thrust upon the consideration of
Congress in the form of a conference
report, which might be debated tut
could not be amended in any respect.
Upon examining the measure 1t was
clearly apparent the bill was IN no
respect better than the bill which
had passed the Senate. and l n many
particulars it was infinitely worse.
AS l had predicted. the railroad
bonds provision had been restored to
the bill, but buried under an OBSCURE
phrase. The bill also contained an in
famous provision which permitted
the use of bonds as security for cur
rency at less than par value.

or to defeat it.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS
~INSTALLMENTS

After years spent in fighting the
political bosses IN the House of Repre-.
sentatives and later as governor Of
Senate in 1905. AT Washington as in
Wisconsin, he discovers the machine
politicians combating progressive legis-
lation. Some of his earliest battles in
the Senate are fought against the rail-
road interests. The progressive group
grows during the fight on the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill. For two years La
Toilette awaits an opportunity to offer
his amendment providing for the valua-
ton of railroads as a basis for estab-
fishing reasonable rates. Now the Aid
rich emergency currency bill is before
: the Senate.
This opportunity now presented
itself il connection with the emer.
gency currency bill. I promptly
offered an amendment providing
that the Secretary of the Treasury
should be authorized to accept rail
road bonds as security for the emer-
gency currency issue only after the
Interstate Commerce Commission
had a~scertained the value of the
properties Of the railroads, upon
which the bonds in question con-
stituted a first mortgage; and pro
vided further that no such railroad
bonds should be accepted unless the
value of the property Of the rail
road company We're found TO be am.
pie security for such bonds.
Offering of the amendment pro-
duced a futter of excitement. Dis,
gust and CONSERVATION were plainly
manifest. For two years they had
been able to deny me a vote in the
Senate on the valuation Of railway
property and the reactionary Sen
ators had learned to fear being
placed on record with roll calls.
And here I was rudely thrusting
this troublesome proposition upon
them IN violation of all the reg,
ulations governing Senatorial cour-
tesy."
1 had announced that on March
II I would address the Senate on
the pending bill. and In that connec-
ton would oppose the railroad bonds
provision.
Thirty minutes before I was to be,
gin my argument on that day Sena.
tor Aldrich arose and informed the
Senate he was directed by the Com.
mittee on Finance to withdraw from
the bill all that portion Of 1t relating
to railway bonds,
But if it was Mr.. Aldrich's pur-
pose to avoid a discussion Of his plan
TO make railroad bonds a security
for currency issue he failed.
For in opening my argument 1 re
ferred TO the announcement Of Sen
ator Aldrich. and predicted that at
some later stage in the course Of the
legislation that same provision would
again make its appearance in the
bill.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Review Your Holdings.

want to emphasize again the ne
cessity of periodical review OF any
investors holdings. A good many
people say that they buy stocks or
bonds 30 put away and forget"
Sometimes that may turn out all right,
but sometimes 1t doesn't. In any case
1t is foolish not to take precaution
when it can be done so easily.
This matter was forcibly brought to
my mind by an inquiry L received the
other day from a woman who held a
few shares of a certain railroad pre-
ferred stock on which she had not
been receiving dividends for three or
four years. Now 1t happened that this
road has passed into control of a
larger system under a lease arrange
ment and that interest paying cer-
tiflcates had been issued to the hold
ers OF the smaller roads preferred
stock. This woman had never turned
in her shares for exchange and so had
lost the interest on her money. This
loss was entirely unnecessary. Any
official could have ascertained the
facts by few minutes work and ad-
vised her accordingly.
There are plenty Of other instances
Of investors sustaining losses through
ignorance or lack Of reliable guidance.
The moral is that no matter how con-
servative may have been your inten-
tions and how far from your thoughts
1t may have been to indulge in a
speculation. it is the prudent course
at least once a. year and preferably
once every six months to have some
one qualified for the purpose examine
your investment list and recommend
any advisable changes.
