More Truth Than Poetry
nv JAMES j. MONTAGTH
THE DANGER LINE

We hate to play the role of rude de-
tractor,
We know that science holds a lofty
place,
And many years has been the bene-
factor
| OF this all too ungrateful human race.
1T studies germs, and finds out what
begat 'em.
1t marks the orbit of the farthest
! star,
But, when it seeks to monkey with the
atom,
We feel that it is going far toe far.
Within the atom hide, destructive
forces,
At present under pretty fair control,
Which, once allowed to take their des-
tined courses,
Will knock this feeble planet for a
goal.
And if the scientists should ever free
them,
And they should do their will when
they got loose,
Before we had chance tc feel or see
them,
Or find out what they were, they'd
play the deuce.
For science, we have only admiration
, Without it human life would be a
flop,
But it should show little hesitation
In starting out force it cannot stop.
This life is not all grief and care and
sorrow,
In spite of what the pessimists may
say,
And we should like to stick around
tomorrow
And not be blown to smithereens
today.
1t makes us nervous when we read
dispatches,
Before our daily jaunt to work we
start,
Which states that science is assembling
patches
Or atoms which it means to blow
apart.
We have nc wish some morning to be
hurried
In fragments to some far sidereal
zone,
And we should feel more placid and
less worried,
If it would let those doggoned things
alone!

The members will meet in Washing

PRODUCT|ONOF OIL
OFF IN 9 MONTHS
Output 20,00O,O00 Barrels
Less Than Last Year, Sim
clair States.
BY the Associated Press.

TULSA, Okla, December 2.-Oil
production in the first nine months OF
1926 was 20,000.000 barrels less than
in the first nine months of 1925, says
Harry F. Sinclair, head Of the Sinclair
Consolidated Oil Corporation, in a
survey made public today in connec-
ton with the meeting of the American
Petroleum Institute.
Total supply of all crude and re-
fined oils in the United States on
October l was $4,000 900 barrels less
than the peak of July 81, 1925" Mr..
Sinclair said. This is decline Of
6A per cent, and represents decline
of more than II per cent in the re-
serve supply in proportion to the rate
Of consumption.
Demand for gasoline increased 10
per cent in 1924; 10 per cent in 1928
and 17h per cent so far in 1926. In
crease in the demand for all oil prod
ucts is IN per cent this year, the
high point of demand in 1926 was 8
per cent higher than the peak Of 1925.
preliminary reports indicate that
in the first nine months of this year,
the total demand for all oil products
exceeded the supply by more than
% 900 900 barrels. Total demand for
the full year will be about 870,000,O 900
barrels. If the production of oil were
to continue at the September rate, the
years supply would fall short Of the
total demand by 30,000,000 barrels"

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD,
Is Cooperative Ownership of Homes
Desirable?

The cooperative idea in the owner
ship of apartments by the tenants Is
spreading rapidly through the country.
1t got under way in a large way
for the first time in this country in
New York and environs shortly after
the war. 1t has recently spread to
Chicago and other cities, and real es
tate men predict that within decade
there will not be city Of $4,000 popu-
lation in the United States without
comparatively owned apartments. The
movement started as q strictly busi-
ness attempt of real estate venders to
exploit new idea. not az an idealistic
effort to abolish the landlord.
Thus far the movement has not yet
been uniformly successful, and the
real outcome Of the first stages Of the
development will not be known until
the country has gone through q reac-
ton in real estate values The expert
ment thus far has been tried during a
rising market in real estate. Thus
even though the prices at which ten
ant-owners received their apartments
might have been unduly high in par
ticular cases, the subsequent upward
rush of prices validated the initial
purchase price and made it seem at
tractive.
Although the idea Of cooperative
ownership seems capable Of establish
ing new and better home conditions
in the larger cities, it should not be
Evening star., 1926-12-02

overlooked that sometimes the plan
10 used by shrewd operators as a
means Of selling out a property to a
group OF owners for a larger aggregate
price than they could get from an in
dividual buyer. The crucial question,
then, Is the price asked for CO.
operative apartments.
Another important matter is the
provision made for management. The
best results have. usually come from
long.term contracts with outside man
agement companies of unquestioned
integrity. Such arrangements obviate
the clash of tenant owenrship opinion
concerning technical and unimportant
questions of operation.
In sord. cooperative apartment s
each apartment is occupied by tenant
owners, who are assessed each year to
meet the operating and overhead
charges. Thus they are not free of
rent.
Indirect Rent Methods.
Others which stress the free-rent
idea, which is more apparent than
real. sell some of the apartments and
rent others. charging the renters
enough to pay the operating and over
head charges on the whole building.
Thus the tenant-owners reduce their
own burden by making a profit on the
tenant.renters. Whether thev can
continue this indefinitely into the fu.
ture is speculative question, depend
ing on conditions in local real estate
markets.
H. H. Decker of Chicago in a report
made to the National Association of
Real Estate Boards claims these econ.
omieS for the cooperative apartment
idea:
Special Economies Claimed
81. Elimination of loss of rent from
vacant apartments, bad debts, adver-
tistng charges, rental agents commits
sions and wear and tear caused by
frequent shifting of tenants.
"2. Financial saving to the tenant
and saving Of nervous energy, in addi-
ton to the feeling of security and
permanence that comes to any home
owner.
"S. The cooperative apartment
owner can put in high-class decora-
tions and fixtures to suit his taste,
knowing that he is enhancing the
value Of his own property instead of
that of the landlord. The general ap-
pearance of a comparatively owned
building is usually better than that of
a rented building, as it is a community
Of homes"
The cooperative apartment idea has
been demonstrated as feasible.
Whether it is attractive depends on
specific questions of price, location,
congeniality of neighbors and your
preference for a permanent dwelling
place or the freedom to move at will.

MEN AND MONEY
BY NJ. S. Rukeyssv
tCopyright. l020.1

In his latest attempt to remedy the
maladies Of big business DR.. William
q. Ripley, Harvard economic sage.
suggests new machinery whereby
small stockholders could have better
access to unbiased information con-
corning their property and become In
siders instead Of outsiders.
Prof. Ripley joins other critics who
have urged the creation OF permanent
committees representing the interests
OF scattered shareholders, and ne
wisely advocates such bodies should
be supported by corporate funds.
THE novelty Of this project. says
the David of the colleges, who again
sings a stone at the Goliath OF big
business, for stockholder representa-
tion consists merely In the subStitu.
ton Of continuing body instead OF
temporary or emergency one. and
this being of the utmost Importance
that 1t be created not to cope with
management in terms of conflict but
to recognize that full responsibility
and authority are still vested in the
directorate, subject only to the condi-
amount of disclosure and consultation
to action"
Better Protection Is Aim.
1 think that this proposal is saga
cious, as far as 1t goes, but could be
carried one step farther. The task Is
to protect the general public. which
has turned in everincreasing numbers
to the purchase of corporate securi.
ties. Besides the suggested fact.find'
ing committee. there should be. 1t
seems to me, on every board of direc.
tors a public director, who should not
represent large. solidified interests, as
the other directors do. but the scat.
tered small shareholders.
Such a man should be paid by cor.
porate funds, and should be on the
job as a watchdog to safeguard the
interests of the holders of small
blocks of stock. He cannot hope to
control decisions Of the board, and 1t
would be fatal II he assumed the role
of obstructor. He should not seek to
usurp the power of the dominant
group so long as 1t acts wisely. hon.
perpetually vigilant and ready to COX.
pose chicanery or malpractice.
Would Aid Public Confidence.
The mere presence Of such an indi.
vidual on boards would give the public
greater confidence in management.
Public directors could be recruited
from resourceful economists, like
Prof. Ripley; from retired flnanciers
and from financial editors and jour
nalists.
Since the war the public for the first
time has become heavily interested in
corporate securities. Despite this
movement, which r. N. Carver, q col
league of Prof. Ripley, describes as an
economic revolution, no new corporate
machinery has been set up to meet
the altered situation.
