Declaring that the head of the
''too long in Siam to know mucn
about the Colorado river as an eco
nomic problem, and too long in
power in Arizona to give the people
anything but a machine -bossed auto
cratic rule, e. S. Clark, republican
candidate for governor, in his public
addresses, says the only way to end
this riot of power is to over-
whelmingly defeat King George" and
replace the political autocrat with
new blood.
This alone spells salvation for the
state" he continued independence IN
politics, insurance against mere and
higher taxes, a guarantee of lower
taxation, and quick solution of the
much discussed, abused and obscured
Colorado river problem"
Calling upon republicans and dem
ocrats alike to crush the alleged
political machine for the goood OF
the state, Clark AYERS that the ma
chine not only operates solely with
a view to maintaining it's bosses In
power, but levies tribute from all
state employees, under threats Of dis
missal from state service, by taking
part of their wages each month for
campaign purposes, permits extrava-
giant. appropriations to pass un-
scrutinized, allows the state banking
code OF be violated in order to
nurse along weak banks, resultins
in bank failures, ignores labor IN the
make up of state boards and COM
missions, notably the industriaI COM
mission, passes the farmer by with
out recognition, and makes govern
ment of, by and for the people a
mockery.
Sums Up Issues
State issues Candidate Clark sums
up briefly as follows:
Colorado river problem: Arizona, un-
der, the present administration, has
no program of river development,
but only tactics of obstruction and
delay. While California and owners
of Mexican lands feverishly apply
the waters that flow idly through
Arizona to their lands, under the
Jaws of prior appropriation and bene-
ficial use, the state administration
sits supine, saying, 1--WE are against
California but we don't know whaN
we want" A quick agreement with
California and Nevada, safeguarding
and forever establishing all of Ari-
zona's rights in the river, and action
in actual development is the remedy,
he declares.
Taxation: Maintaining of the pres
cnt political machine is the chief
cause of high taxes, the 1925 rate
being the highest in the history of
Arizona. Strict economy, in keeping
with the policy of President Cool
idge, careful scrutiny of all appro-
priation bills, with drastic use or the
gubernatorial veto on all appropria-
tions not absolutely necessary for
the conduct of mandatory state busy
ness, Clark says will cut taxes.
Banking laws: Only slight changes
are needed in the present laws, but
efficient and proper enforcement !.
sadly needed, Clark declares, citing
the present Administrations public
admissions that violations or the
banking code have been permitted in
order to nurse along weak banks.
This is not only illegal but invites
disaster, Clark charges, anH prom
ises one of his first acts as gov
ernor will be to install an efficient
and fearless bank superintendent who
will strictly supervise banks and en-

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Is Low Rent Economical?

Big business is competing with little
business in the retail field more ag-
gressively than ever before.
The corner grocer man is in a ruth
less struggle for existence, fighting to
stand up against chain store competi-
ton. The druggist and the cigar mer-
chant are in the same boat and the
competition at present is more intense
than at any time in the past.
Incompetence, Wasteful methods
and faulty business judgment make
defeat certain in this economic war
fare. Some small shops will continue,
especially in the smaller centers, but
only capable merchants will survive.
In the case of millinery, merchant
tailoring and other businesses which
depend on the talents and artistry of
the owner, the small shop fills a per-
manent economic need and is here to
stay. Discriminating consumers will
always demand individual initiative in
certain lines, but in others, like cigar
stores, standardization through chain
stores has been demonstrated as
feasible.
The chain stores succeed not only
because of the economies resulting
from their large buying power. but

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Fixed Assets.


1t is now time to take look at the
fixed assets and see what part they
play in the analysis Of q balance sheet.
So far we have beer discussing only
the current assets and the relation
they bear to the current liabilities.
The permanent investment of a COM
pany in it's business presents diff
culties not found in the working
capital section.
The first item of fixed assets gem
orally covers the value of the plant
and the real estate. 1t is desirable
that the two be separated, but they
are often Jumped together. The first
question Is how the value set opposite
these items was arrived at. Too often
balance sheets give no information on
this point. The conventional method
is to value the plant at its cost less
depreciation. This, however, is not
entirely satisfactory for conditions
may have changed since the property
was acquired so much that original
cost throws no light on the present
value.
Sometimes, and this is particularly
the case with public utilities,
standard of replacement value Is set
up. This method is used in valuation
proceedings when rates are being
ruled upon. But here, too, the investor
does not learn much about the real
value behind his stock. More exact
ing yet is it to inquire what the prop
erty would bring if the business were
liquidated. The trouble with that
way is that the investor is not inter-
ested in what the property would
bring if it were sold. but what it will
earn as going concern. Only in the
case of mortgage bondholder who
looks ahead to the worst possible to
see how he would stand if he should
have to foreclose is the sale value Of
the plant an important factor in de-
Gliding whether he should make an
investment.
Notwithstanding all these uncer
tainties, conservatism in setting
values for plant property is a reassur
ing indication. The problem is a
perplexing one and no universal solu-
tion can be offered, but the goal to
be aimed at is first a clear statement
on the part of the corporation as to
just how it arrived at the values set
down on this score in it's balance
sheet and second precision in the
compilations.

The best thing that ever happened
to Baltimore-although we did not
think so at the time-was the great
fire in 1905. 1t stirred the energies
or the people, and stimulated all the
factors that make for growth. think
the same will be true of Miami AS a
result of the devastation in the recent
hurricane the people will find them
selves, and rebuild a better city than
they conceived before. Until the de-
struction came, I did not think so

few important changes recently Mills
are humming along on extraordinarily
| large operating schedules. Prices re-
main at substantially the same level.
Perhaps the most conspicuous item
| in the detailed analysis of the s1tu-
alton is the slackening in demand for
automobile steel This tendency Will
probably become more marked before
| it commences to improve. But the
seasonal slump in this one line is
more than compensated for by i'm
provement in other divisions Of the
industry.
Factory Orders Steady.
Manufacturing plants are taking
steady output from the steel mlils'
although as a rule the orders are
small and frequent Orders for mer-
chant steel bars are improving and
the structural shops are busy. Cold
finished steel bars are steady and steel
mills are feeling the revival which
has come to agricultural machinery
concerns and even from the increased
activity Of the New England textile
mills. Strip mills are working stead
ily and call for Winter products has
improved in the last week.
Two of the big rail orders which are
anticipated have already been placed.
The New York Central has bought
227,675 tons and the Pennsylvania
lines have distributed contracts for
1000 tons with the privilege or IN
creasing them by 25 per cent.
"There is nothing particularly note
worthy in sight for big business, said
F.. A. Layman, general agent of the
Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Western
Railroad. today in speaking of condi-
tions in the Pittsburgh area, "but in
dications point to a volume at least
equal to that of previous years. Re
trogresSion to a seasonal normal from
a Summer of unusual activity was to
be expected. Mills of all sorts are
working at fair ratio. although
somewhat below recent highs, but the
reduction in output volume is neither
marked nor significant in view of the
season of the year"
Youngstown Typical Area.
Reports from the Youngstown dis
trict are typical of the situation all
over the country. For example, onen-
hearth production has been some
what lower in the last week, but this
has been counterbalanced by increased
Bessemer steel output so that produc-
ton still remains around near 80 per
cent of capacity. Seventy of the SO
OpSn-nSlTCn IuTIldCeS IleftI IOuLSS-
town are active. Plate mills are re-
ported down to 65 per cent, but other
divisions are ranging between IS. and
100 per cent.
Iron ore shipments on the Great
Lakes have shown steady and con-
stant increase this month and are
over 100000 tons higher than at this
time last year. Shipments of lime
stone have increa sed in correspond
ing ratio. Considerable anxiety has
been expressed over the competition
of German, Belgian and other foreign
iron and steel concerns.
The chairman of the republican
State committee of Pennsylvania al
ready has commenced to receive ap-
peals from iron and steel men for a
move to have tariff barriers raised.
But many producers feel that the
present method of buying is working
against the foreign competitors in
this country and that with trade
steady at home the American pro-
ducers will be in position to fight
harder for export business.
