lIOM Lu6 SLdlS W O,OOO,VVO III d pOpu-
lation of 100000. These include at
present 100000 war pensioners, 90O,-
900 old age pensioners, 1,250,000 I'M
employed and 100000 paupers.
Philip Snowden, finance minister in
the former Macdonald Labor govern
ment, says the budget, "shorn of the
scheme of widows pensions, would
have appeared to everybody what it
really is-the worst rich mans bud
get" Sugarcoated by the pension pro-
posals the government has handed
about $165.OO0,OO0 Of the $175,OOO,OOO
tax reduction to income and super
tax payers. The burdens of the work
ers will be increased.
The pension proposals are advanced
as compulsory insurance covering
practically the entire wage-earning
population. A widow will receive
$3.50 week for life with an addition
al $1.25 for the youngest child and 75c
for each additional child until the
youngest child reaches 14h years.
Old age pensions will begin at 65 and
workers over 20 will receive pensions
without question as to other means
of support. Workers and employers
are to contribute equally to support
these pensions beginning at SC. per
man and 4c per woman per week and
increasing at 10-year intervals to lac.
per man and &c. per woman in 1856
when the scheme will be fully effect
i've. All persons whose incomes do
not exceed roughly s25 week must
contribute.
Ramsay Macdonald and Pethick
Lawrence for Labor attack the con-
tributory feature as direct burden
on industry which ought to be placed
on wealth. They say it will mean an
increased cost of production forcing
either a decrease in wages or an in
crease in prices. Jack Jones, known
for spicy interruptions when conserv-
atives have the floor, wants to know
why those who work must contribute
to their pensions while generals, adj
miraIs and all in high authority get
theirs without paying. He says the
scheme will double the weekly con-
tribution the casual laborer must
make out Of his scant earnings.
The budget will also increase the
workers cost Of living through the
new protective duties theoretically
imposed to protect struggling indus
tries. This pretense appears a joke
when manufacturers of artificial silk
are found among the protected. This
is practically a monopoly in England.
Courtauld is the biggest unit in the
combine. This concern made $1S,S5O,-
900 profit in 1924 on $5S,200,0O cap
ital, or more than 80 per cent.
But the capital has been increased
from $12,15O,OOO to $5S,2O0,OO0 by
stock dividends so that the 1924 pro
fit means about 155 per cent on the
original investment. In 1924 cash
dividends were at the rate of 20 per
cent (96 per cent on the real invest
ment), and in addition 621k per cent
dividend in per cent preferred stock
was distributed.

HOW THE BANKS USE MONEY

Savings deposits in the United
states increased more than $2,00O,-
100000 during the last year. The
resources of all the banks in this
country now amount to more than
$60,000,000 and their deposits to
over $50,000,090,0O0. What becomes
of this accumulated surplus capital?
In loans and discounts the banks
have more than S31,000,000, 1000.
These are the short-time loans to
manufacturers, farmers and mer-
chants to provide seasonal working
capital, They are secured usually
by the products the borrowers pro-
duce or sell. Business obviously
will never need to draw on the total
loanable funds of banks for these
current needs. The banks, there
fore, must find other ways to employ
their funds. In long-term credits,
in seasoned stocks, bonds and read
estate mortgages, the banks have
placed little in excess of S14,OOO,-
100000. In addition, they have about
$1,250,O00,000 invested in their own
buildings.
The securities in which banks in |
vest their money are not the kind |
peddled by get-rich-quick promoters
The banks list of investments gen.
orally includes Liberty Bonds and |
other government issues, municipal |
public utility and rail-
road offerings, seasoned industrial |
bonds, foreign bonds and conserva-
tive real estate mortgages. Many
of these securities do not yield more
than 6 per cent; many yield less.
Banks do not look for unusual re-
turns or overnight profits. The
men who invest bank funds are in
close touch with the investment
and, although they are just
as eager as the small investor to
make as much money as possible,
hey know that money does not earn
pig profits and at the same time as
sure the safety of the principal sum /"
