Conservative Findncial Structure
Pounded in 1852

The management of the Associated System has persstenty followed conservative policy in meeting its financial requirements. Most of the financing has been done through securities of the parent company and very little through securities of operating properties.
 This policy has CD brought the Associated securi- ties closer to the physical properties and () it has provided diversity and stability of earnings ini- possible for individual underlying companies.
 The result of this policy has been the establish ment of ample margins of safety in the number of times interest and dividend requirements are earned Furthermore, the management has pursued the plan of having the stockholder share in the procress of the business indicated by the payment of extra dividends and by afordng an opportunity to acquire the common stock.

Robert A. Cony in talk Wednesday
evening before the members of the Red

c. A. at their weekly banquet. THE
evil spirit seems to be that Of self
expression and things have come to
such pass that parents do not know
where their children are at night nor
what they are doing.
Physical pleasure Is taking the
place of the moral and spiritual side
of life and these necessary phases of
existence are slowly being forgotten.t
He declared that he was in hearty ac-
cord with a statement recently made
that civilization Is doomed If there
is not soon change, as this self ex-
pres\ on is in the last analysis self

Judge Cony announced his topic as
Court Procedure and in his early
remarks explained the difference be-
tween civil and criminal actions and
between civil and criminal trials. He
told of the safeguards which have been
provided by law In order that an ac-
cused person may not be convicted I'M
justly.
He then distressed from his subject
to speak of the present times and ten
denotes He quoted the president of
Phillips-Andover Academy and Judge
Cavanaugh Of Chicago to the effect
that where IS years ago the United
States was the most law-abiding coun-
try in the world, today 1t is the most
lawless. Again quoting Cavanaguh.
he said that IS years ago the churches
were full and the jails were empty.
Today the 5ails are full and the
churches empty. The speaker declar-
ed with reference to the talk Of evo-
luton which has been so current, that
if the scientists would "evolute to the
word of God" the world would be much
better off.
He closed with stirring plea tina.
his hearers think deeply on the word
of God and His teachings.
