LEGGE IS OPPOSED
TO MARKET|NGB|L
Farm Board Chairman Be-
Iieves Present Sena1e
Measure Is Too Drastic.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Chairman Legge of the Farm Board
announced today he had advised Chair
man McNary of the Senate agriculture
committee that pending Senate bill
to prevent the sale of cotton and grain
in futures markets was too drastic a
change" and would completely upset
the marketing machinery although we
realize the need for improvement"
"Inasmuch as the handling, proc
essing and financing of several of our
major crops are so completely based on
the present futures market system,
which has been in operation for many
years." Legge wrote, 1--WE are fearful
that so drastic change would COM
pletely upset the marketing machinery.
Although we realize the need for i'm
provement, we think change in order
to avoid disruption, will ha~' to crane
gradually.
1--WE believe" he continued, "tlTs4 de-
cided improvement in the present sys-
tenn could be accomplished If the ex-
changes were placed under proper su-
pervision and control of the Department
Of Agriculture, with power to intervene
whenever the Secretary of Agriculture
finds any operations in the farm COM
modify futures market are antogonistic
to the best interests Of producers or
consumers, or both"
Informed of Legges announcement,
Senator Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas,
who introduced the bill, said of the
floor:
"Mr. Legge's statement discloses what
I think everybody has realized, that
when he is called upon to sacrifice the
gamblers in the cotton and grain ex-
changes or the farmers. he prefers that
the farmers shall suffer"

Oil Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

(This is the tenth of series Of brief
oil a stocks ~ The intent is - not to recon-
mend the purchase or sale of any par
ticular stock but to give the investor
such information as may enable him IN
telligently to chart his own course)
Not to be confused with Standard
Oil of Ohio, although both are mem
bers of the original Standard Oil group,
Ohio Oil ranks high among the estab-
lished producers and distributors of
crude petroleum. The company is one
Of the largest in the industry and oper-
ates principally in the mid-continent
field. The immediate point of interest.
however, is the fact that it was able
during 1929, year supposedly of ex-
ceptional difficulties for oil companies,
to double its net income over that OF
the preceding year.
In 1929 Ohio Oil earned $5.15 a share
on its stock, against $2.11 share in
1928. There are no bonds but there is
per cent cumulative 500 par issue
Of preferred stock outstanding to the
amount of S60,000,000. This was au-
stock of Illinois Pipe Line on basis of
three shares of Ohio Oil preferred for
one share of Illinois Pipe.
AS the ranking obligation of so strong
an organization Ohio Oil preferred is a
high-grade investment, but without
speculative attraction because of the
provision that it may be redeemed three
years after issue at $110 a share. The
common is also outstanding to the
amount of $50, 100000 but is of $25 par.
Present dividend rate is SO annually
plus extras, the last one of which so
cents was paid March Is, 1880.
The market capitalizes this earning
power as we'll as the book value of the
stock, which was approximately $44 a
share on December 81, 1929, at high
rate, so high that the income return
is very low. This is not unusual with
Standard Oil Co. stocks. The compen-
sation is that the Standard Oil policy
Is to distribute stock dividends from
time to time, giving the shareholders
a profit from this source. The last time
Ohio Oil distributed stock dividend
was in 1922 when one of 300 per cent
was paid. How soon anything similar
will be done cannot be forecast now, but
surplus would warrant another stock
dividend when, and If in the opinion of
the directors, conditions in the oil
trade permit it.

stock and bond center.
Massachusetts, born, he graduated
from Harvard in 1911. Immediately en-

prices were melting away so fast that
nobody knew where the end would be.
In clear voice, heard by every one
on the floor. he bid $3.50 for $4,000
shares of Steel. At that time he was
acting for the powerful banking pool
headed by Thomas w. Lamont.
The break was halted. Traders be-
came sane and reasonable again. The

Walcott, One of Worlds Greatest
Fighters, Now a Happy Handy Man

OF almost forgotten warriors OF the
ring.
Happy Joe
Only one or the charnen huns
to himself. whistles occasionally,
chuckleS at his work. He's q short.
chunky. happy negro with arms
that stretch down to his knees. His
shoes are almost without form. his
trousers baggy, misshapen. "A gray
checkered coat sweater. fitting his
arms all right. stretched down TO
his knees in incongruous fashion.
Diligently he wipes pictures and
woodwork with a dirty cloth. a
shapeless cap on the back Of his
black hairless head. q grin on his
wide. flat features.
Yet this happy negro, SO years old
and glad OF the chance TO work at
mental tasks. Is Joe Walcott, the
barbados demon. perhaps the
greatest fighter that ever lived. He
once weighed 129 pounds for an
epic battle with Kid Lavinge. and
as the welterweight champion OF
IS years ago he never scaled over
142 pounds. But he knocked out
great fighters in five classes
Lightweight. welterweight. middle
weight, light heavyweight and
heavyweight. His most amazing vic
tory was a seven-round knockout
OF Joe Choynski. crack heavyweight,
when Walcott weighed i40.
He Took 'em All
Today he polishes the pictures Of
men who quailed before him decades
ago. ring heroes now dead. whose
shades might tremble q bit even
now at the touch OF Walcott's
hands, now harmless. He fought
when q lifetine's earnings IN the
ring did not equal the purses paid
ordinary fighters today for a single
bout.
Furthermore. he doesn't think
that the entire crop OF fighters in
the smaller classes today could
have furnished George Lavigne,
Saginaw Kid, with an interesting
nights work. Joe has a trcmen-
dous respect for Lsvinge, IS well
as Tommy West, who had a dis
concerning habit Of biting chunks
from his scalp in the bloody bat
ties they fought decades ago.
The old timers, Joe says. were
tougher, stronger, were Just as good
boxers. and took the game more
seriously. than do the gladiators OF
the present era. TO his mind, the
easiest men 70 bring down were
the big fellows despite his own
scanty five feet Of height.
"Ah liked 10 play with them BID

away al the woodwork. "Ah just
