Unjustly Criticised

City Solicitor McNamar, in a
published statement, claims his
attitude on the street car situa-

He denies any desire or at
tempt to persecute the Southern
Ohio Public Service Co. or put
them out of business, and claims
his sole motive was to protect
the city's interests during the
remaining twenty-three years OF
the life of the franchise.

And Some People Eat 1t

came into possession of leaflet
which lifts the veil and discloses
some of the secret processes en-
ployed by several big bread max
ing corporations who do not hes

tents which one would naturally
suppose were altogether foreign
in the composition of the "staff
of life". Among the corpora
tions mentioned as adding these
fancy touches to their products
i9the Ward Corporation.
The expose came through
Basil M. Manly, Director OF the
Peoples Legislative Service in
Washington, D. c. The story
was recently published in the
Daily Evening Graphic, OF New
York, and created quite a SEN
sation.
Some of the queer additions
into Wards bread as plaster OF

Wage Law Has Joker

Vancouver, B. C.-Trade unionists
discovered another "joker" in the pro-
vincial minimum wage law for wom-
en-. The act says "an experienced fe-
male employee" shall be paid the nlln-
imum wage, but according to court
decision it is only necessary for a
firm to pay one of its employees this
wage in order to comply with the pro-
visions of the act.
The employers are satisfied with
the courts Interpretation, but the
trade unionists will demand rehear-
ing.
1t has also been found that the
Wednesday early closing act contains
"joker," and that firms are per-
mitted to work employees for various
periods on the day they are expect
ed to close.

that the moral effect of having promi-

there have been cases where the Vice
President became President and had
great influence. "If," say the vets,

Ralph Beaver Strassburger
Of Pennsylvania
By GEORGE YORKE

New York, N. Y.-One of the most
interesting Developments of the wet
and dry hght within the Republican
Party in the East is the fact that al
ready a full pack of hunters Is after
the scalp of the Honorable General
Vice-President Charles Gates Dawes.
The objections to him are not that ne
smokes an up-side-down pipe, plays
the fiddle or sleeps at the switch
when his vote is needed. No, the
value of his scalp lies simply In the
strategic position of the Viee-Presi-
dency.
If President Coolidge is not nomi-
mated, those who favor a modification,
of the volstead Act say that there wiii
be an endcavor to nominate a mod
erately damp Republican. The in
siders, however, admit privately that
with the West taking the attitude that
1t dees, under the leadership of Sena-
tor Borah, there Is very little posi-
bility of such an eventuality. In
fact, many of them admit that In all
probability if President Coolidge does
not run again the nominee OF the
Republican Party will be mid
western or western man-and ne will
be dry. :.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Explanation of Reserves. y
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.

We now come to- an item on the
balance sheet which is susceptible
of various interpretations. Some
times it is in reality a part of the
surplus and sometimes 1t is not. 1t
goes under the general designation
of reserves" Every item so termed
necessitates careful examination if
the actual condition of the corpora
tion is to be appraised.
Generally reserves appear on the
liability side of the balance sheet.
The simplest kind is reserve for
specific debt the exact amount of
which is not ascertainable at the
time the balance sheet is made out.
An example is a reserve for taxes.
1t often happens that this liability
can only be roughly estimated, so that
this is a perfectly proper reserve.
Another kind is a reserve for un-
collectable accounts. Here, too, only
an estimate can be made.
Sometimes this reserve appears on
the asset side under the heading "ac-
counts receivable less reserve" Cen
orally in this case the amount of the
reserve is not stated. In a slightly
different class comes reserve for
inventory adjustment" This is not
so often found What it means is
that there is chance of a drop in
the market value of the inventory
which this reserve is set up to take
care Of Another kind of reserve Is
reserve for depreciation" This
may refer to property of any kind,
and, providing the amount is given, it
is just as we'll placed on the asset
side as a deduction from the value
of the property.
Now it goes without saying that
whenever these reserves are given
with detail and precisely defined the
informa ton is more valuable than
when they appear under general
terms without specifying just what
purpose they serve. For example, in
some balance sheets on the liability
side Will be found the item reserve
for contingencies" This may mean
anything. The directors may have
had in mind some actual contingency,
such as pending patent suit or
other action at law which if 1t went
adversely to the corporation would
result in loss, and so the reserve
is provided. Or 1t may mean they
have set aside on the books a sum
to meet unforeseen emergencies. If
so the reserve is surplus under an
other name for surplus itself is Il
reserve for contingencies.
Other companies simply use the
title general reserves" This, too,
gives no information to the investor.
1t may include legitimate liabilities
or it may be another way of con-
cealing a part of the interest of the
owners in the enterprise.

=. Tried to Sell Idea. ....
Mr.. Doherty tried to sell his asSp-
ciates in the industry the idea. At
first they approved it in theory, but
when they began to see how it would
disturb present practices they became
alarmed, and almost solidlY opposed
the proposed innovation. The distrib-
uting companies feared the innovation
would interfere with their supply OF
oil. Many wrote to the commission to
protest against the idea, and the
American Petroleum Institute, of
which Mr.. Doherty is a director and
member of the executive committee,
engaged Charles Evans Hughes to
present a brief, informing the com.
mission that existing practices and
methods were such as to necesSitate
no radical alteration of ways of con-
Quoting the industry
Publicly, other oil executives first
ignored Mr.. Doherty's unit operation
proposal, and then scoffed at it as the
dream of crank. Now the Presi-
dents commission, with the best ex-
pert advice available. sponsors the
unit operation suggestion. asking
State legislation or. if necessary, Fed
eral legislation. to enforce it.
Under unit operation, pool, which
is geological unit. would be tapped

under which the oil runs may be.
At present, the law permits drillers
to keep any oil they recover
through derrickS on their own prop
erty. irrespective of whether the oil
flows from their neighbors fields or
not. AS a result. when a new pool IS
opened up, there is a wild scramble to
beat the other fellow to the oil. In
the process, the economies, which
technical men understand. are neglect.

operation, oil would be taken out in
a manner that would tremendously
reduce waste, it's advocates say. More
over, gasoline Vapor and gas, which
are now wasted in large measure
would be conserved. The pool would
be operated for the benefit of all the
property owners, whose relative stake
would dpend on how much oil lay
under their particular holdings.

that Mr.. Doherty is first of all an in

things for himself, instead of follow
ing the pack
Mr.. Doherty said that he heartily
approved the Government report,
which was conservative in it's statis-
teal statement concerning the haz-
ards of an oil shortage in the future.
