donned a gas mask which he wore
as a United States marine during
the war, and when the invaders
burst down a door, he fired point

One of every six men who
served with the army in the
World war now is receiving
benefits. The demobilized
service men in all the coun-
try's wars have received
almost fifteen billion dollars
to date. Under legislation al
ready existing, World war
veterans will get one hundred
billion dollars by the time the
last benefit is paid.
Despite this situation, congress,
under pressure of a powerful vet
Grams lobby is planning additional
enormous grants. And, speaking
broadly, the mounting expense is
due, not to the money going to the
dependents of those killed in The
war, or to those wounded in the
war, but to those who have been
added outside of the zone which
encompasses such cases.
Seven Cycles in U. S. History
There have been seven distinct
cycles of rise in peace time pay
ments to ex-soldiers during the his
tory of the United States. Each
has been attended by about the
same set of circumstances. A COM
posite picture of all seven strikes a
fair average of each movement.
The typical veteran drive on the
treasury runs like this:
Agitation starts a little less than
ten years after the finish of a war
and the cost to the taxpayers be-
gins to rise. Business conditions in
general are poor, but the treasury
is fortunate in having a surplus OF
20 cent over its total revenues.
The President is Republican and
there is four -to-one chance that
he is himself veteran.
The peak in veterans relief cost
arrives about three years later. The
trend of business is downward
Former soldiers then are getting &c
per cent of the national revenue
and 81 per cent of the country'S
federal expenses are devoted tc
them. If there is any treasury sur
plus at all it has been cut to an
extremely small amount.
Relief Costs Then Cut
There are three chances out of
four that there will be deficit. The
administration still is Republican.
A little more than a year later,
the cycle ends, with a cut in relief
costs. General economic conditions
then are in fair shape. Once more
there is a substantial treasury sur
plus of 10 per cent. The admins
tration still Republican.
The seven cycles which make up
the mosaic reached their peaks in
1920, 1888, 1880, 1893, 1909, 1926 and
1881. present indications are that
the 1881 movement is far from spent
and that it will reach new heights,
but for the purposes of striking an

NEW YORK, July 4.-"Extreme ex-
travagance in corporate affairs is one
reason why banks are not extending
credit as freely as they might" re-
marked a vice president Of one Of the
most prominent New York banks when
asked why banks have not co-operated
more fully with the Federal Reserves
program of credit expansion.
"One of our corporate borrowers was
told 1t would either have to reduce its
bank loans or omit common dividends
and reduce by one-haf the dividends
on preferred shares. The corporation
declined, SO we named two OF our
executives to the directorate.
Our representatives went TO WORK
at once. They found that the clerical
staff of the concern was nearly as
large as in 1929 and salaries had not
been reduced. Accordingly, they cut
the staff by one-half and reduced sala-
ries Is per cent. This was done through
the introduction of some new office
machinery and more careful planning
of clerical details.
"These changes made 1t possible tc
move the firm from an office consist
ing of four floors to one floor. A real
estate agent obigingly rented us the
one door and got rid Of the lease on
four floors, with the net result that
the corporation is virtually rent free
for the next two years.
A survey of the factory indicated II
was working at top efficiency and was
not overstaffed. No wages were re-
duced, nor were any workmen let 60
The reduction in Office rent and Office
clerical costs was sufficient to enable
the corporation to reduce the price OF
its product by one-third of the 1925
quotation, with the result that it has
sufficient orders to keep its factory
busy. Meanwhile the firm began re-
ducing its bank loans and now Is vir-
tually out of debt"
When this experience was related tc
another bank vice president he re-
marked that it recalled an unusual re-
cent experience he had undergone.
"A firm sought to borrow money from
us year ago, but we refused to mako
the loan. Today we would be only toe
glad to lend that firm whatever sum
1t needs. We have learned in the in
terim that the concern has maintained
its bank loans at virtually unchanged
levels, but has also gone into the mar
ket and purchased all of its bonds AT
levels that amounted approximately to
only three years interest charges en-
the issue. At the same time it has
bought up large part of its pre-
Ierred stock. The result is that share
holders at their annual meeting next
autumn VIII be surprised at the COM
pany's condition, though it will show
bank loans virtually unchanged from
year ago."

REACTION IN HOG
PRICES IS FEARED
Market Observers Point to
Recent Rapid Gains as
Weakening Factor.
BY FRANK /. WELLER,

Many observers would not be sur
prised to see reaction within the next
10 days to the seasonal upturn which
has swept hog prices into new high
ground for the year.
Advances for the week ranged from
so to rs cents at Omaha to IS cents
to 81 at East st. Louis. A so to rs
cents, advance at Chicago carried the
top to S5.l5, which was cents above
the previous high mark, established in
March. and the highest paid for hogs
since November, 1881.
East st. Louis Rise.
The sensational rise at East st. Louis
carried values $1.60 to $l.75 above the
low point, in late May. At 80 to 80
cents over a week ago, hog prices at
Kansas City were the highest of the
year.
Continued light supplies, good shipper
outlet and an improved fresh pork
trade were the main bullish factors
Old-timers warned that 1t must not be
overlooked that pre-holiday buying and
a decrease Of nearly 10000 head in the
supply at the II principal markets
played an important role, and that rises
at this time of the year in both hog
and cattle prices are usual and natu-
raj procedure not to get too excited
about.
Fed steers and yearlings gained 25 to
so cents at Chicago, the in-between
grades of fed steers showing weight get
ting the big end of the advance. The
market closed active to all interests,
the top at $3.50 representing a 25-cent
gain on last weeks prices. The bulk
of granted steers went at 81 to $8.25,
compared with $765 paid for the best
weighty steers two weeks ago and grass
ers turned at $3.50 to $3.50. Prices on
the latter were steady to Is cents higher
than last week.
In keeping with the time of year,
grassers became more in evidence at
Kansas City, where they brought 81 to
Sc for 100 pounds. Fed steers and
yearlings generally were up 25 cents,
the heavy finished kinds commanding
an advance of so cents. A top of So
on choice grades and yearlings was the
highest since last March.
Cattle Prices.
Under light receipts good choice cat
tie rose 25 to so cents at Omaha and
East st. Louis. More cheaply priced
stuff was about steady with a week ago.
The dressed market was against lamb
prices and most classes were weak to
25 cents lower at Chicago, with lambs
under 60 pounds and grassy yearlings
off the most. The bulk of native offer
ings went at $3.50 to Sc. although
few loads brought $6.25 to $3.50, the
latter being the practical top for the
week.
Eastern consuming centers were said
to be saturated with lamb meat, con-
dition which presents the chief obstacle
to increases in the live trade. Receipts
at the u markets we're almost $4,000
head smaller than last week, but values
slid off 25 to so cents at Omaha and
East st. Louis and we're weak to 35 to
SO cents lower at Kansas City.

FIXED TRUST INCOME
FROM RAILROADS CUT
Reductions and Omissions of Divi-
dends Have Reduced Return From
Investments in Carrier Issues.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 4.-The constant
omission of dividends by the railroads
is leading to increased embarrassment
among the fixed trusts which carry a
considerable proportion of these shares
in their portfolios. In most cases, it
not only means a reduction in their ir1-
come. but necesSitates the elimination
of the non-dividend issues from their
holdings at time when market condi-
tions are such that liquidation produces
a high percentage of loss from cost
prices.
As an illustration let us take Atchi-
son common. which passed its dividend
Tuesday. There are 43 fixed trusts
holding about 1l5,000 shares of this
stock. In addition nearly 40 general
management trusts own about $4,000
shares. The latter, unlike the fixed
trusts, are not compelled to sell when
dividends are suspended, but they ex-
perisnce loss in income which affects
their ability to pay dividends on their
own stocks and reduces the amount
available for their debentures.
In a thin market the liquidation Of
$4,000 shares Of Atchison would con-
siderably disturb its price. 1t is prob
able the dividend action was to some
extent anticipated and that a portion
of the fixed trusts holdings have been
sold since the last dividend was de-
clared at the rate of $4 share
Practically all the fixed trusts that
have a diversified portfolio of stocks
have included in it not only Atchison
but Illinois Central, Louisville & Nash
vile, New York Central, Pennsylvania.
Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific,
Baltimore g. Ohio and Great Northern.
All of these stocks are now on nom
dividend basis. There are also in the
rail section of the portfolio Union Pa
cific. Canadian Pacific, Chesapeake &,
Ohio, Norfolk & Western, which have
reduced their dividends. while Delaware
& Hudson and Chesapeake e. Ohio are
maintaining their regular rates.
