EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY CEORCET. HUGHES.
Harmful Exaggeration.

Investors will do well to heed the
warning given by Samuel insult, the
well known public utility operator of
Chicago. Mr.. insult pointed out that
there was no warrant in earnings,
present or prospective, for the prices
had been carried in the speculative
excess which prevailed at the time
he spoke.
Considered simply as investments.
side of Government and other high
grade bonds, so attractive as the pub
lie utilities, but this does not justify
quotations which, at current divi-
dends, give no adequate return on
the money 1t takes to buy them.
Their strength lies in the essential
character of the service they perform
and in the now commonly accorded
recognition of the principle that they
are entitled to a fair return on the
money devoted to the public use. The
spectators who spread reports of alb
surdly high earnings per share on
the stocks of the utilities do the in
dustry a positive harm and will GER.
tainly bring losses to the small in
vestor who accepts these statements
at their face value.
While the courts have held that
the public utilities are entitled to a
reasonable return on their capital, in
cluding bonds and preferred stock
as well as common stock, and while
this may and does justify in some
cases high dividend expressed In
dollars or In percentage for the junior
shares, still it cannot be denied that
If some of these foolish predictions
of large earnings for the stocks came
true the public service commissions
would be justified in directing a reduc-
ton in the rates charged for the va
rious services the utilities render.
AS matter of fact, the well managed
utility does keep its rates down to a
point where only a fair return is
earned, and when their shares sell
at reasonable figures they are highly
desirable investments, but the price
ought to correspond in some degree
to value and not to speculative
imaginings.
