When bus companies are properly CO.

it is much more economical for sew

Utility Common Stocks Very High.
There are fadS in investing as we'll
as in dressing. During the, past two
years common stock of electric power
and light companies has been as popu-
lar as bobbed hair. This has resulted
in these stocks being driven up,
through competitive buying. To very
high figures. In any case these fig
ures are higher than these common
stocks now deserve.
What goes up the most will usually
come down the most. Hence during the
next panic the biggest decline may be
found in public utility common stocks.
But, if SO, the greatest opportunity
for profit will be in connection with
The purchase Of such common
stocks. This will be especially true
in the case of electric power stocks,
because the earnings of electric power
companies are not as much affected
by business depressionS
Public utility stocks are still funda-
mentally good, but / do wish to re-
mind readers that one can pay too
much for Government bonds or any
thing else, however good such things
may be.
OF course. there are many reasons

but they are not suitable for small In

fer to big companies who have as
heir assets only stocks Of the operat-
Ing companies. 1t is naturally safer
to invest in the stock of the operating
company, which actually owns the
power house and distributing systems,
than In a holding company, which
owns only stocks.

WELLESLEY HILLS. Mass, Jan
uary 81 have always claimed that
the fundamental reason why NUM-
Cipal bonds issued for sChoolhouses
sewerage systems and other public
improvements are better than the
average corporation bond is because
the money borrowed through the sale
/ of these municipal bonds truly serves
The people. While that borrowed by
corporations oftumeS does not.
Municipal bonds ar" issued for the
purpose of service and not for profit:
whereas profit is the main factor in
determining corporate financing. w t.
are coming to a time when people
Will use their consciences and re
1isious principles in investing their
money, insisting that ii be used only
tn useful enterprises directed by men
OF high character. When that time
comes there will be many fewer in
Nestment losses than today.
This was forcibly brought home to
me the past week when ] was Ill IN
bed with an absceSS in my ear. OF
course. l probably would have come
through all right had | been on a
Yarn without electric power: but the
use of the electric light. the electric
heating pad and other electrical con-
triVances-yery simple and lneNpen-
slve in hemSelves-Certainly were Il
real benefit and Il tremendous comfort.
Lying on my back, | thought that one
Of the finest things to do with one
money is to use it in the construction
Of additional power and light lines 50
that every home might have electric
current Surely. when one buys
through conservative bankers hlsh-
grade electric securities, he uses his
money in IA way TO serve humanity.
Other Useful Investments.
OF course, electric power stocks are
not the only stocks in which to invest
I'd serve humanity. Many of the
other public utilities are as useful.
Water companies are often privately
owned and surely perform a most
useful function in every community
although people may swear at the
telephone at times, yet it IS great
blessing and money invested therein
y being used to good advantage in
extending lines. putting wires under
ground and improving the service
generally.
The modern gas company is per
forming a real service by tightening
the work of the housewife and per
forming other functions. l personally
believe that gas is TO be used more
and more for heating and industrial
purposes. The idea that coal should
l." carried 10 each individual house is
archaic. it is as unreasonable for
each house to have it's own heating
plant as to have separate water wells
o. lighting plants.
Because a stock is offered as Il
'public utility is not. however, a
reason for its performing a real serv-
Ice. The real difficulty with most
> traction securities today is that the
ordinary street car is as much out of
date as the "Old Oaken Bucket

on private reservations with sub
way or elevated divisions. may con-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-01-09

why electric power stocks are SO at
tractive in addition to the fact that
one renders service to humanity when
investing therein. The labor s1tua'
ton, which is running so many invest
lnents, especially the fractions, Is a
negligible factor in the electric power
industry. Not only is the demand
for electric power constantly increas'
ing through new uses for electricity,
but almost every new invention either
increases the demand for power or
decreases the cost of producing or
transmitting it. AS long as the cost
can be reduced. freedom from public
interference should be assured. More
over, electric power companies do
repeat business and are quite free
from competition.
Bonds and Stocks Still Cheap.
OF course, first mortgage bonds are
the best thing for an investor to buy
These are what the banks buy and
small investors make 10 mistake In
buying what the local bank pur-
chases. Public utility first mortgage
bonds can now be bought from rep
utable banking houses to yield from
) per cent to 6 per cent.
The first preferred cumulative
stocks are also attractive in the case
of most light and power companies
These yield from per cent to per
cent and State commissions should al
low rates which will take care of these
stocks when they have been honestly
issued Ii your local light and power
company is issuing such stock in the
form of customers shares" or con
sumers' shares" these should be very
attra ctiVe.
1t is always best to invest in ones
home company before investing in
outside concerns. BY investing at
home. one not only increases the value
of all other property in the com
munity and also his own earnings. but
one can keep track of such home in
veStments easier than those in distant
communities.
|. however do advise that the small
investor confine himself to buying
stock in the actual operating COM
panies rather than in large holding
companies. Stocks in holding COM
panies may be good speculation and
are. usually good investments for the
business man who can afford to lose;
