sion into homesites to supplement and
extend the present Shaker Village
operations.
The development: provides for ex'
press and local automobile highways
and a. new right of way for extended
rapid transit service.
This new DEVELOPMENT. If successful,
will give the Van Sweringens sub
stantial additional capital which can
be used to extend their railroad hold
ings and operations.
First Step i'm Plans
The proposal to join all of the Van
Sweringen properties except the
Nickel Plate under the parentage of
the Chesapeake a ohio is only a. hrst
step in the plans of the brothers.
If approved. the next move would
probably be to include the Nickel
Plate in the large new Eastern Trunk
Line system,
Then additional railroads might be
added from time to time.
Besides being called upon =, decide
whether the new Chesapeake and
Ohio deal IS equitable and in the
public interest the Interstate Com
merce Commission is likely also soon
to be asked to place its approval on
the even larger James System. which
is looming up in the Northwest and
which will be built around the Great
Northern. the Northern Pacific and
the Burlington.
1t is evidently the intention of Ar
thur Curtiss James and his associates
to seek to achieve the dream of the
late James j. Hill before Congress
modifies or declines to modify the
present merger provision of the trans
portation act, which other interested
groups have asserted is too vague.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING

How Teacher Should Invest.

The vocations OF leading children

of pointing out to- adults and childred

tical wisdom Of the market place.
Accordingly, many intelligent mem

On the average sucker list many

All too many unprosperous teachers

large extent psyChical and only partly

! life of drudgery and economy may
be found through acting on the allur-
ing fairy tales Of the promoters of
| wildcat oil companies. of mines that
serve only as illustrations for stock
prospectuses, and tire companies that
produce naught but inflated selling
talk.
Men and women OF these professions
who are ordinarily without specialized

grades. and should ordinarily not
make any purchase without first seek
| ing disinterested competent advice
| They should make it rule never to
buy securities from strange stock
statesmen. To avoid the risk of pick.
| ing an untrustworthy financial house,
teachers and ministers would do well
to buy securities only through a com

| Insurance and Annuities.
| Life insurance and annuities should
| form a large part of the investment
program of the teacher and minister
Various beneficial organizations serve
the teaching and clerical professions
sometimes at lower figure than or
dinary commercial companies. The
Carnegie Foundation provides pen.
sions for certain groups of teachers
after the retirement age. Some Uni
versities, such as Columbia University,
conduct cooperative investment

the faculty, giving them the benefit OF

In choosing between perferred
STOCKS and bonds. teachers and min
istres should bear in mind that per-
| ferred stocks involve a minimum Of
routine. Instead of having to clip the
coupons from bonds and present them
| for collection. the holder of perferred
stocks receives his dividends in the
mails. Moreover, dividends on stocks
are free from the normal income tax,
| whereas interest on corporate bonds is
subject to taxation.
| Although their income is compare

have certain advantages over en-
ployes in other fields. For the most
part, they have security of tenure,

listers are justified in spending a
larger portion of their total current in
come then employees in an automobile
factory, for example, who must set
up part of their current income as a
reserve against periods of unemploy-
ment, which are chronic in the in
dustry. Even during the most pros.
porous years automobile companies
close down for inventory late in De
cember and early in January and
throw their employees temporarily out
of work.
Can Estimate Career.
Besides freedom from fear of un-
employment, teachers and ministers
can estimate with greater certainty
the length of their productive income
producing career than individuals in
other trades and professions. Usually
there is provision for automatic re-
tirement at a specified age. and in the
case of ministers, at least, cOngrega'
tions frequently provide pensions at
the end of the period of active service.
Usually d minister has within his
own flock one or more individuals who
are qualified to give expert financial
advice. The minister. however, fire.
quently turns to strange stock sales
men because he wishes to keep his
operations secret. In doing so he al.
most invariably makes unwise com
mitments and carries on activities
which not only are not In keeping
with the dignity of his profession, but
which in practice prove improbable.
In my own wide correspondence with
newspaper and magazine readers on
investment subjects I have received
many letters from ministers who had
placed their meager thrift funds in
fantastic securities.
The main characteristics about the
earnings of both teachers and minis
ters is their stability, with a gradual
upward tendency. Accordingly, it is
the part of wisdom for them to de-
velop regular saving habits and rely
on the cooperation of the principle of
compound interest to build up COM
petence for them. Their economic
status is entirely different from that
of the business man who has his fat
years and his lean years.

The Changed Attitude

When the newspapers of the State last fall de-
manded admission to Indanas most notorious guest
for the purpose of getting information concerning his
claimed evidence of political corruption, when per-
mission was demanded for six State Senators to
him, the Governor of this State refused to act.
At that time and all during the time when
grand jury was trying to discover what truth
behind his declarations, the rules of the prison
strictly applied and no interference from the
Governor caused them to be relaxed.
When the former wife of Stephenson, suing
him for money, desired to see him, the policy was
changed
A letter from the Governor seemed at that time
sufficient to open the doors-as they should have
been opened for her.
No public interest could have been served by re-
fusing her this permission.
The important fact is that the letter from the
Governor was sufficient to obtain this interview.
A letter last fall would have accomplished the
same result when those interested in the public in
terest and in saving Indiana from humiliation asked
for one.
Some day, perhaps after he has replied to the
letter Of Attorney General Gion, the Governor may
find time to explain why he let an estranged wife
enter where six State Senators were barred.

What Colleges Are For

Many housewife, badgered by youthful sales
men who plead not for their wares but because "It
means college education" will cheer the statement
by John D. Rockefeller Jr, that higher education
should be removed from the field of philanthropy,
and placed on sound business basis.
Others less Immediately harassed will agree with
his contention that there is no clear reason at pres
ent why privately maintained colleges and univer-
stiles should collect only half of their operating costs
from the students and depend on endowment drives
and special gifts for the other half.
The Rockefeller argument is that to-day the
majority of students go to college for good time,
for social considerations to fit themselves to earn
money. The idea Of service to the community is no
longer the chief consideration. Upon these condi-
