force which climbs to any
achievement, that which achieves
mighty deeds, is faith. Faith in
ourselves, in our ability to do the
fine and noble thing, in our will

But for a line, be that sublime
Not failure, but low aim is crime"

PERMANEN! FLOOD
CONTROL IS URGED
Investment Bankers Suggest
Immediate and Efficient
Curb of Menace.
BY tho Associated Press.


SEATTLE, Wash. September 90
Permanent flood control for the Mis-
sissippi River and its tributaries has
been declared by the Investment Bank
ers' Association of America to be a
national duty. which demands the i'm
mediate attention of the Federal Gov
eminent.
The association unanimously adopt
ed resolution in its sixteenth annual
convention here yesterday. declaring
that the loss of life and property from
floods in the Mississippi Basin "seTl-
ouSly affects the economic welfare OF
the entire Nation" The Federal Gov
eminent was called upon to take i'm
mediate steps to deal promptly, et-
ficiently and permanently with this
pressing national problem.
The association also took under con-
sideration the growing problem of pos
sible abuse of the investment trust
principle, a matter which is giving no
small amount of concern to investment
bankers.
The problem was presented to the
900 delegates in the annual report of
a committee headed by Charles ID.
Dickev of Philadelphia, who declared
that it would be the policy of the as
ISOLATION to cooperate fully with State
and Federal authorities Ito prevent
the abuse to which the investment
trust idea is in danger of being sui
jected."
Sketching the recent phenomenal
growth of investment trusts in the
United States, Dickey reported That
they have doubled in number in the
last five months and that there are
now IS organizations of this KIND
with total assets of $500. 900, 600.
Apparent concern over the prospect
that the investment trusts would get
out of hand and become a playground
for incompetent and dishonest pro-
moters," was expressed in Dickey's
report.
THE buoyant stock market OF the
last few years." the committee found,
together with the steady decline III
interest rates, has stimulated optimism
regarding the investment trust TO a
point not justified. 1t is almost GER
tainty that this overoptimism will be
capitalized by those who are constant
~ looking for an opportunity to make
quick turnover at the public's ex-
pense."
