EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Value of Public Good VIII.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


OF great Importance TO the stock
holder is the ability of the management
of business to win the public favor.
Earnings are important and so are
balance sheets and the outlook for
business and all the other factors that
usually enter into the market appraisal
of a stock, but the matter Of public
relations Is not to be overlooked.
Particularly is this true Of railroad
or a public utility. While 1t may not
show Immediately in dollars and cents,
in the long run the favor OF the con-
sumer and his representatives in public
Office has a real II Intangible Value
The best illustration OF this Is the
American Telephone & Telegraph co,
No other large corporation has so well
succeeded in maintaining the balance
between the interests of the investor
and of the user of the service itself.
The point is brought out in the state
ment of policy embodied In the tele-
phone company's recent annual report.
II is declared therein that earnings over
and above those necessary to provide
reasonable return to stockholders With
an adequate margin of safety will be
used to improve the service and at the
least cost to the public. It is declared
that extra or special dividends are in
consistent with this. aim. Instead Of
this detracting from the attractiveness
Of the stock as an investment it does
exactly the opposite. Telephone stock
may not on this account be more de-
sirable as a speculation, but it is GER
tainly more desirable for permanent
holding.
From time to time shareholders will
receive rights" to subscribe to new
stock, but they are not TO expect
larger regular disbursement. This is as
1t should be and will serve to establish
more firmly than ever the shares on
their admittedly high investment plane
If the railroads had been as intelligent
in their own field as this premier utility
they would be better off today.

BALTIMORE, April l4-Adequate

traitor In charge of the Federal ware

State Packers Association at the closing
session OF their conference here yes

Under present conditions the house

something will be used. They will not
be marked fancy. extra-standard or

c. All others below that will be sub

Following Mr.. Yohe's talk. round
table discussions OF methods were held
and sample cans OF vegetables were cut
for comparisons.
Purchase of tomatoes for canning by
quality instead of by mere weight was
urged by DR.. r. G. Gaylord OF Purdue
University.
He said buying by contract and pay
ing for the crop by the ton was not
likely to encourage quality production.
Eleven large canneries. he said, had
decided to buy tomatoes under the
United States Agriculture Department
grading.
When quality Is insisted on. he said,
canned tomatoes will bring better prices.
