GOVERNOR URGED
TO RECORD VIEW
ON ANTI-RED ACT
BY United Press Leased Wire

PASADENA. Nov. 5.-Intimat-
ing that he had been "evading the
issue of freedom of political opin
ion, Upton Sinclair called upon
Governor Friend W. Richardson to
day to declare himself flat-footedly
against the state criminal syndical.
! ism law.
Sinclair s demands were contain
ed in a reply to a letter from Gov
ernor Richardson in which the lat
ter refused to take action at this
time in behalf of Anita Whitney,
wealthy Oakland, Socialist under
sentence to San Quentin for VIC
lating California 5 criminal svndi-
calism statute.
"A great deal of pressure was
brought on the governor during
the last legislature which gave him
an opportunity to declare himself,
said Sinclair. Il am not sure that
he spoke against repeal of the law,
but | am positive he did not speak
in favor of its repeal.
Certainly most powerful
force in influencing the people
would be declaration from the
governor to the effect that he be
lieves in the fundamental American
principle of liberty of political
opinion. and therefore favors re-
peal of the criminal syndicalism
law.
Sinclair referred to his own in
careeration in the San Pedro Jail
two years ago for violating the
svndicalism law "by reading the
constitution. "It would certain
lv delight me to have you declare
yourself in favor of the repeal of
this evil law he concluded.

tutes OF the United States. it was
properly tryable.
while from the facts presented
to me II appeared that a number OF
people were unquestionabiy impli-
Gated IN this transaction. 1t became
apparent that testimony could not
be taken with respect to it without
indicating that Senator Wheeler
was involved in it. | therefore came
to the conclusion that In fairness to
hi mand with a view to the due and
orderly administration of justice on
opportunity should be given TO him
TO explain his connection with the
transaction. 80
But independently OF his connec-
ton with IL. there had apparently
been a crime committed and that
crime had been committed within
the District OF Columbia and the
case could not he submitted to- a.
grand jury without developing the
part Senator Wheeler had taken In

II therefore gave instructions
early in December that the matter
should be submitted to a grand jury
in the District of Columbia" -

Character of the Management
a banker was asked the other
day what was the most important
consideration in a stock investment,
preferred or common. His reply
was, .the character of the manage
ment." II the management is not
competent. he said, you do not need
to look at the balance sheet or in
come statement.
This is something which inexperi-
enced investors almost invariably
overlook. The brightest OF pros
poets may be wrecked by incom-
petent management and contrary.
wise a dubious proposition may be
brought up to high earning power
by skilled and experienced execu-
tive direction. Now the rules which
apply to balance sheets and income
Statements although technical can
be mastered by anyone with an
elementary knowledge Of accounts
but 1t is net so easy to appraise a
management. II the enterprise is
a nov mt and its officers are com
paratively unknown there is no way
IN which this point can be estab-
lished.
This is one of the things which
make investment in securities OF
now companies so hazardous. There
10 no record on which &c base a judg-
ment- 1t is not enough to say that

other corporations engaged in the
same line have made large profits
and that investors who went into
them when they were first organ
lied have reaped rich rewards. Be.
cause Henry Ford made a success
of the low-priced motor car. a suc-
cess which Is one OF the wonders
of bushes shistory. 1t does not fol-
low that other newly organized
automobile companies are going to
do the same.
Promoters offering for sale stocks
Of doubtful worth use tho argu-
ment OF success in the same line by
others continually and with effect.
Nevertheless It Is a fallacy. The
only III ground is to look back
over the record and the longer the
record the better. When the man
agement OF n corporation has shown
the ability to weather the storms
which accompany periods Of great
business depression then only Is It
safe to consider the merits OF their
securities.
Tho same line of reasoning ap-
plies to investment bankers who
have bonds or stocks to sell. Have
they a long and honorable record
for offering sound securities. Has
their Judgment been tested by time?
II the W to these two ques-
tons are in the affirmative con-
fidence may be reposed in their
