NEW LAWS FILL
j. s. PRISONS

In explaining submission of
estimates for increased aprropria-
tions for the next year Attorney
General william D. Mitchell re.
vealed that four Federal laws
enacted within 20 years are
chiefly responsible for congested
conditions in penal institutions
and the necessity for additional
funds for maintenance.
These statutes are the national
prohibition act. the Harrison
narcotic law, the Mann white
slave" law, and the Dyer act to
punish persons using stolen auto.
mobiles in interstate commerce.
Penal institutions and their
facilities, the Attorney General
said, have not kept pace with in
creased population and new lesis-
lation. The four laws mentioned,
he said, within less than 20 years
''have brought about the incar.
ceration Of more prisoners than
any other laws we have.
II analyzeG the other day our
prison population in accordance
with the statutes under which
they had been incarcerated and
the greatest number of prisoners
was under the Harrison mar
cotic) act-approximately 2,700.
Under the prohibition act the
number was about 1900. The
Dyer automobile transportation
act was third. Postal offenses
were fourth, but that is an old.
time statute. The Mann act
came fifth. All these laws except
the postal laws have been enacted
within the last 20 years; some Of
them within Is years and it SIM
ply means that we have not made
provisions in our prisons for the
prisoners that are produced by
application of those laws.
THE program has fallen far
behind and our prisoners have
been overcroWded.

BRIGHT SPOTSSEEN
IN TRADE PICTURE
Many Companies Have In
creased Property Account
During Last Year.
BY PRESTON S. KRECKER.

epecial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 13.-In the drat
picture of current business here anc
there appear bright spots which stsnc
out in relief against the dark back
ground. Much has been said anc
written about the decline in earnings
of corporations and, unfortunately 1t i
almost 100 per cent true. But there is
another phase of the current position
of corporations which contrasts sharply
with the profit and-loss column, and
that is the balance sheet.
"A well known statistical service has
lust complied an analysis OF balance
sheets of those companies which pub
lish midyear statements. 1t makes
pleasant reading to investors VINO are
palled by the endless tale of bad busi-
ness. diminishing sales ana shrunKen
profits of the companies in which they
have put their savings. In computing
that ANALYSIS statements of more than
10 of the larger and better known COM
panies were taken.
Property Account Increased.
Here is a summary of the more i'm
portant facts disclosed:
During the six months ended June
80 those companies in the aggregate IN
creased their property account so per
cent. They expanded their net WORK,
ing capital by "a per cent. Cash ana
marketable securities in their treasures
Gained "a per cent. Working capital.
Exclusive of inventories, increased 26.3
DurinQ the same period the ratio oil
ecureuafe current assets TO the aggre-
cste current liabilities expanded from
ASS per cent to 5.27 per cent. Inc
SINE companies raised the ratio OF totdi
cash and marketable securities TO total
assets from 1872 per cent to 2S'o per
cent. .
The significance of these figures is,
of course. that corporations have been
streurthening their financial position
during the first half of the year despite
the severe decline in their net prontS,
which, on the average, are on 70 per
cent, compared with the first hall OF
last year.
The decrease in inventories Is i'm
portant. 1t differentiates the present
depression from that through which the
country passed in 1920-2l, when falling
prices caught business houses and cor
norations all over the country loaded TO
The brim with raw materials and man
ufactured products of every imaginable
variety, which they were compelled to
iquidate at terrific losses.
Financial Position.
The excellent financial position OF the
average corporation is due to the adj
vantage all wise business executives took
of the prosperity Of the last few years
to liquidate bank loans, cut down
bonded debt with proceeds Of stock
financing and invest profits in market
able securities or in loans payable on
demand. Those corporations which
made the most of such opportunities
find themselves financially equipped TO
pass through depression and to make
the most of whatever revival of trade Is
experienced. A strong balance sheet is
a sort of guarantee to shareholders that
their equity in the company's business
Is safe and that when business does
turn their return on their investment
will reflect the improvement.
