NEW YORK, March 16.-The tidy
fortune OF more than 100000 which
Charles Garland of Massachusetts in

years ago, because he objected TO
the manner in which his father, a
Wall street broker, had acquired 1t,
has grown to $1,200,OO0, in spite of
continued large expenditures.
This was shown in the second an

BAbSON ANALYzES
SHINES FAILURE
Ambition, Policy on Debts
and Initiation Views Cause
Of Financial Ruin.
BY ROGER W. BABSON

Special Dispatch TO The Star
WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass. Sep
tember 19.-In view of the news items
In the papers recently regarding the
big SHINES failure in German, some
of the reasons therefor are interesting.
Hugo SHINES. for 90 years. was
Germany's greatest captain of indus
try. Even before the war he was the
outstanding figure in German indus
trial life and. unlike most Germans,
he was even bigger and richer after
the war than before. The war in
creased his wealth because his hold
ings were in stocks or equities rather
than III bonds or mortgages. When
the imitation period came ne was able
TO pay up the Indebtedness of his com
panies with deprecated CurrenCv
which made his equities very valuable
Imitation hurts the conservative in
vestor who buys bonds and helps the
speculator who buys stocks. If the
SHINES fortune had been in high grade
bonds and mOrtEa Ces. II would have
been wiped out directly following the
war: but being only in stocks and
equities it greatly increased.
Fortune Founded on Coal
The SHINES companies ranged from
newspapers to hotels He personally
owned what is considered by many
as Germanys leading newspaper,
Deutsche Allebemeine Zeituns. His in
dustrial developments started with coal
properties, the exploitation of which
was the basis of the SHINES fortune.
To these coal properties. he added iron
mines, electrical concerns, petroleum
companies, pulp and paper mills. eel
lulose factories, steamship lines, ho-
tells. insurance companies. motor car
works, great banks and various other
concerns.
If one can picture the holdings of
Henry Ford. John D. Rockefeller and
the du Points all combined together
II would give a fair idea of what
SHINES owned The difference. how
ever. is that Henry Ford's companies

there is good lesson for every Ameri-
can business man and investor to
learn and remember.
Hugo SHINES died in April 1924.
Whether his death caused the collar pse
or the collapse caused his death is a
good deal like arguing which came
first, the hen or the egg. Whichever
the case, the bubble burst about q
year ago, and instead of his sons be-
ing the richest men in Germany, they
have found themselves almost the
poorest. Ordinarily there would be a
great deal of sympathy for the SHINES
boys But after the fathers death
they were as stubborn as was the old
man. They not only cast aside all
economic teaching, but they continued
to pursue the inf1ationary policies of
their father. For while they bought
more companies and issued more
notes.
OF course. they feel now that the
banks wiped them out. which is
always the alibi of a failed concern
My experience, however, is that

have no Indebtedness: the du Pont
companies have very little indebted
ness, while Rockefeller puts most of
his money into the bonds of his cam.
panies and thus controls their in.
debtedness as well as their equities,
SHINES, on the other hand, put all of
his money into equities and let the
public hold the Indebtedness which
SHINES Three Mistakes.
SHINES made these three primary
mistakes:
l. He tried to be too big. He forgot
the old German proverb, Trees never
grow TO the Skies He also failed to
remember that the higher up in the
tree a bird builds its nest the easier
it is for the crows to find ii. The real
reason why SHINES collapsed is the
same reason why there are no masto-
dons living in the world today. These
great animals, whose skeletons we
see in the museums, although the
greatest beasts that ever lived, be
came so big that they could not get
out of their own way
Careless About Debts.
.. SHINES was careless about let.
ting his companies get into debt. 1t
is true that very few can take the
position of Ford and say that there
shall he no debt All captains of in
dustry cannot follow Rockefeller ir
owning or controlling the indebted
ness of their companies. 1t, however,
is great mistake TO borrow more
than one can take care of. This is
Evening star., 1925-09-19

especially important for business men
to remember at this time, when money
is so easy and banks are encouraging
their good customers to borrow.
Debt has been the downfall of about
90 per cent of our business concerns.
1t is much better to do small busi
ness with no indebtedness than to
borrow a lot of money for the sake of
doing a big business. Irrespective of
imitation or deflation, the SHINES con-
Germs would ultimately have collapsed
simply because he was such a free
borrower and sold bonds and notes as
fast as the banks would take them
Vital Truth Forgotten.
3. SHINES forgot that 1t is Impos-
sible to get something for nothing.
He was correct in figuring that, infla-
ton was to his advantage, but he
foolishly forgot that deflation always
follows initiation. He failed to realize
that his fortune must decrease during
a period of def1ation as rapidly as it
increased during the period of inf1a-
ton. SHINES ignored the fundamen-
Evening star., 1925-09-19

their original coal holdings, with pos
sibly certain iron properties. 1t is the
best they can expect to do.
Americans Should Take Notice.
The SHINES failure has no direct
effect on American business or the
New York stock market. Hugo
SHINES was distinctly q German. He
financed his properties in Germany.
built them in Germany and operated
them in Germany
But L therefore urge America n
manufacturers, business men and in
Vestors to avoid the three pitfalls
into which SHINES fell.
Let us be content with a reason
able business and teke for our motto,
Live and let live"
Let us keep out of debt as far as
we possibly can.
Let us remember that usually
things that go up likewise come down.

tai law of action and reaction. When
a stock scars, due to increased value
or any other legitimate reason, it may
continue to sell at a high figure. But
when it goes up in price simply on
account of manipulation or imitation,
then 1t surely must fall again to its
true level.
Saw Wealth Melt Away.
SHINES held on too long. Instead
of getting out when he had his huge
profits, he continued to remain in and
saw his wealth melt away. Moreover,
as the Indebtedness was of slight ac-
count during the period of imitation,
while the currency was depreciating
this same indebtedness became of
great concern as the defation set in
and the currency was put on staple
basis.
Hence. while SHINES had his day
and could dictate to the bankers dur
ing the imitation period. the bankers
had their day and could dictate TO him
during the period of deflation. In this

TO INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

years, was given an indeterminite SEN

a charge of stealing, by Judge P. j.
Metz this morning.
Moore's home is in Colorado, and
he has been in Jail in Forsyth, Mont,
where he met one HENDERSON. who
was arrested with him about a month
ago. Moore admitted that he did the
stealing while HENDERSON drove the
car, and guns, shoes, blankets and
castings were included in the loot. He
stated that he had been away from
home for three years. had not attend
ed school since that time. and stole
because he was broke and needed
money, knowing that he would be
subject to a stiff sentence if caught.

Meeteetse Too Healthy-Sublette

had one lone lawyer at jackson and
the people elected him county and
prosecuting attorney. Being from
Arkansas, he got homesick and early
in December loaded his six houn'
dogs in his trusty flivver and beat
it for his native state. He probably
figured that he could not afford to
freeze and starve both. By the way,
in passing, it might be well to state
again that the town of Meeteetse is
without q physician. The doctor of
medicine who just left Meeteetse gave
as a reason: "The town is too damned
healthy."-Inland Oil Index.
