Recovery Prospect
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Still discussing the unprecedented
decline in the bond market in the clos
ing days of 1881 and the opportunities
presented to courageous investors, the
present situation has more complica-
tionS than have obtained in other bear
markets in bonds.
In the first place the depression
which has brought about the liquida-
ton is worldwide. 1t is impossible to
say from what source new selling OF
the forced variety may still come. In
the second place the United States
admittedly the strongest government
financially in all the world, has an un-
balanced budget and must increase its
taxes and cut its expenditures. Even
then, according to the present program,
income will not equal outgo by wide
margin and additional borrowing will
have to be reSorted to. That means
more Government bonds, and in any
market when you increase the supply
you affect unfavorably the price.
The other side of the story is that
every free market discounts everything
it can foresee. If it is taken unaWareS
by development on the outside there
may be sudden and sharp decline, but
ii the development is logical result
of conditions that all know exist the
chances are that the price decline will
have anticipated the news.
In all probability quotations for fixed
interest bearing securities at the year
end had so discounted everything likely
to happen of an unfavorable character.
In looking about for profitable commit
ments the maxim to keep in mind is
that recovery-that is, permanent recov-
ery-always comes first in the highest
grade of obligations. These offer the
prospect of reasonable profits and a
high degree of safety.
Temporarily, however, on any rebound
the widest advance is scored by specu-
lative issues, bit they should only be
taken by those in close touch with the
market and by those possessed of the
trading instinct. 1t is hardly necessary
to add that purchases should be for
cash. The risks are too large for the
employment of borrowed money.

LIFE POLICIES TOTAL
100000, 10000 IN EUROPE

Merle Thorpe. editor of Nations

total of S1c90 900, 100000 of life insurance
policies in force, protecting more than
68, 100000, or 81 per cent of the total
population of the United States.
"If We take an average for the whole
country" said Mr.. Thorpe, I'VE find
that the per capita coverage is about
$780, Thirty years ago this average was
$110, 20 years ago $3.50, only 10 years
ago it was $410. A generation ago, with
a population of 75,0OO,000, there were
only 100000 policy holders"
New business to the extent of Sl6,-
4OO,0O0,000 was added last year, Mr.
Thorpe said. Insurance companies dis
bursed total of $2,600,000000 during
the year, surprising 1880 payments by
1888 900 900 and the 1929 figure by
1898 900 000 BeneficiarieS of deceased
policy holders received $950,000000 and
living policy holders were paid $780,
900, 900 as matured endoWments, annu-
tiles, dividends and benefits for disabil
tiles. Surrendered policies amounted to
$3.50 900.

TRUCE SUBMITTED
IN NRENTED CAB WAR
Terms Are Presented to Pub
lie Utilities Board Official
for Consideration.

Albert w. Jacobson, attorney for the
City Cab Corporation, yesterday sub
mitted the terms of truce in the con-
troversy between the Public Utilities
Commission and the rental taXicab con-
Germs, to William A. Roberts, counsel for
the commission.
According to the jacobson plan, the
cab company would agree to become
employer of all of its drivers, paying
them Is per cent of all fares collected
of all collections above this amount
The company would take out workmen's
compensation insurance on its drivers
No driver would be deprived of his
cab for failure to turn in $3.75 in any
one day, out the collection would be
averaged for short periods, perhaps of
a week each. Drivers who maintain
an average Of $3.75 day for year
would be given their cab as a bonus.
but the company would retain legal
title to the cab meanwhile.
This was offered to meet the require
mentS Of the commissions order that
all cabs be operated by their owners or
agents Of the owners. Under the pre-
vious system, it is said, the cab drivers
Of rental taxi concerns were lessees of
the cabs, but not agents of the owners
The result of this wes that persons in
jured by rented cabs were confined to
their legal remedies against the driver
Of the cab, and had none against the
lessor companies.
The terms of this agreement will be
submitted to the commission for ap-
proval. Recently seven prosecutions of
rental cab drivers were made by Mr.
Roberts in order to clear up the rental
cab situation.
There are many other rental taxi
concerns in the field in addition to the
City Cab Corporation, but what atti-
tude they eill take is 4ot now known.
