POOR HOUSE
Prospect Is Fearful to Old
Age

New York.-The plight of the aged
couple or individual who have de.
scended from comparative prosperity
to poverty, and who revolt at the
prospect of entering an almshouse
was presented to the New York
state commission on old age security
by social workers.
The commission was told that these
cases have become too numerous fol
voluntary agencies to handle.
Mrs. Matilda Levinson, who has
been engaged in old age relief work
for the past two years, said that per.
sons of this type prefer suicide to
charity and can be helped only by
elaborate subterfube when charity
is the source of that help.

marks that they have made up
their minds how to vote.
Senate In Doubt
But, although the merger resolu.
ton is now assured of favorable
action in the committee, there is no
more chance of the Senate acting
favorably on Its than there was
before the hearing yesterday.
The final outcome In the Senate
depends very largely on Blaine's at
titude. Ii the Wisconsin Senator
continues to oppose the resolution
without his amendment he prob
ably can prevent merger. There
seems little likelihood that the testi.
mOny yesterday changed his mind.
The committee will meet next
Tuesday to vote on the resolution
and proposed amendments. Several
amendments were suggested by the
witnesses yesterday but they will
probably all be rejected. Most of
the suggestions for amendments
came from witnesses who do not
represent local organizations.

PRESENT STOCK
ISSUES ARE
SAFE
By MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

Copyright, 1929, by Universal Service
NEW YORK, Feb. L. The
abundance of investable capital
makes it comparatively easy for
bankers to market new issues.
In the formal announcements,
good and mediocre Issues look ty-
geographically the same. In times
of general optimism, there is a
disposition on the part of amateur
investors to fail to exercise dis
elimination. The better grade in
vestment bankers, taking a long.
term view of their responsibilities,
keep up their standards, instead
of taking advantage of the current
facility in selling all kinds of
newly engraved certificates, but
others, who simulate their appear.
ance, If not their substance, are
less reassuring.
The investor needs to be re.
minded that, though business
hazards are somewhat minimized
in times of prosperity, they nev.
ertheless potentially exist. The
prudent investor hedges against
such risk by a policy of ample
diversification and wise selec-
tion of securities. With the gen.
eral advance of security prices
in recent months, there has been
a widespread disposition to shift
from higher grade to lower grade
securities. There has also been
n tendency to remove funds from
the savings banks for hazardous
stock speculation. Unquestionably,
under the stress OF speculative
excitement. there has been some
lowering of investment standards.
Occasionally corporate executives
decry excessive speculation in
their shares. The most effective
way to discourage unwarranted
speculation is to follow the policy
of honestly reporting assets and
earning power promptly and fre-
uuently. The widespread custom,
even among numerous exceedingly
we'll managed industrials, of hid
ing earnings and assets creates
an atmosphere of mystery, which
is the stuff out of which speeula-
ton is made.
A reader raises the question
whether a corporation president
should point out to the public when
and if ''unwarranted" attempts are
made in the stock market to boost
the shares. Even if the executive
is high.minded and public spirited,
he would find it difficult to set
himself up as an arbiter concern
Ing the worth of the stock of the
company. Since price is a COM
pound of average judgments con-
cerning present and prospective
values, the presidents view need
not necessarily be the most au.
thoritative. Sometimes, outsiders,
with a sense of detachment. can
get better glimpse of the future.

Utilities Would Pay
Cost of Experts For
p. u. C. Under New Bill

An a.-.endment to the local public

Utilities Commission to hire experts
as witnesses in court valuation pro-
ceedings an dcharge the expense of
these experts to the companies in
volved is proposed in bin intro
duced in. the Senate this afternoon
by Chairman Capper, of the Senate
District Committee.
The commission now has the au.
thority to employ experts to make
independent valuations and appear
as witnesses before the commission.
but 1t is not entitled to use these
experts as witnesses in court pro.

The amendment was proposed to
Capper by the Federation of Citi'

would require the relations between
