ELY URGES VOTERS
TO REPEAL DRY ACT
Massachusetts Governor
BIames Racketeering on
18th Amendment.
Nv the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. June IA
Gov. Joseph B. Ely laid the blame for
"the development of racketeering" at
the door Of the eighteenth amendment,
as he urged citizens of Massachusetts,
to get out and vote on the prohibition
issue at tomorrow's special election.
The Governor characterized the re-
peal Of the eighteenth amendment as
the first step In return to law and
order, free from the evil of an Illicit
business" IN his appeal to the voters
last night.
I'VE are not selling our souls on an
economic appeal" he said, "but asking
the people to take cancerous growth
from the Constitution.
At tomorrow's balloting on retention
or repeal Of the eighteenth amendment,
three delegates will be elected from
each OF Is districts throughout the
State. The ballot will contain two sets
Of names, one favoring repeal and the
other retention Of the prohibition meas
ure.
When you have placed a cross be-
side three names you have discharged
your duty" Gov. Ely said.
Expressing the hope the eighteenth
amenoment would be wiped from the
Constitution by January l, 1894, Gov.
Ely said:
None will object to the intent of
the prohibition law to cure the evils
of over indulgence and strong arm
drunkenness, but 1t has failed. Not a
single one Of its virtues has been ac-
complished.
economic losses have been tremen-
douS during the prohibition vears tho
expenditure for enforcement amounting
to over $500, 900. 900 annually for the
Federal Government. As a contrast the
returns from legalized beer have al
ready yielded about $4,000 600 to
Massachusetts,, and 1t was estimated
tional Government.
would be the last to advocate to
the people that they should sell their
souls for revenue, but we are already
heavily mortgaged to the racketeer."

Moody's Finds Stock Yield
Doubles 1929 Average

A new weighted index Of COM
mon stock yields compiled by
Moody's Investors Service shows
an average yield of So per cent
on January 81 against 2.8 per
cent in September, 1929, the low
point, a gain of over 100 per cent
in spite of dividend cuts and
omissions during the period. This
is due to the fact that market
prices have declined during this
period, considerably more than
dividends.
The new index is based upon
total annual dividend payments
by 200 large companies, which on
January 81, 1888, had an aggre-
gate market value Of $17,706,00O,-
900, or more than 80 per cent Of
the market valuation of all stocks
on the New York Stock Exchange.
Good and Bad Included
The method of computing these
fields is to obtain the amount Of
total annual dividends payable by
the 200 companies, as it stands
on any given date, and to relate
this amount to the total market
value of the entire common stock
capitalization of these companies
on the same date. Moody ex-
plains.
ITO illustrate the method
suppose that $17,7O6,OO 900
were used to buy every out
standing common share of the
200 companies at the closing
market prices of January 81,
1888. This purchase would -e-
turn an annual income Of ST.
OPS. 100000, or 5.S per cent on
the principal, If no dividend
changes occurred afterwards"
OF the 200 companies in the
index, 100 were paying dividends
in the middle of 1929, while now
only 113 of these companies pay
cash dividends on their common
stocks. Therefore, at present the
yield on a list including only divi-
dend payers would be we'll above
the yield shown by the index.
But, as so many Of the largest

HOLMES WARNS
Of OIL DOOM

In a statement in which he
pointed out that if the oil
industry fails in its cooperative
efforts to provide opportunity to
all existing fields to supply an
equitable portion of the market
requirements, r. C. Holmes, pres
ident Of the Texas Company, to-
day said:
"The consequences will be the
dissipation of all of the worlds
larger reserves of crude oil and
the other assets of the industry
at a tremendous cost to every
one concerned"
The statement was issued in
support of the recent adoption by
the American Petroleum Insti-
tute of a set of principles upon
which the industry may base
its cooperation in administration
of So-called "market-demand"
statutes of the oil producing
States. Mr.. Holmes is a member
of the A. P. I. executive COM
mittee. He argued:
"The inevitable result will be
that the lowest cost oil would
be produced first. California,
East Texas and South Texas;
Northern South America,
Persia and two or three other
sections of the world could
alone for a time, by opening
up the valves, supply nearly all
the world, making it utterly
impossible for pumping fields
or any of the older fields to
produce at ALL"
Mr.. Holmes suggested that the
trouble today is not that allow
able production in the United
States is in excess of the market
demands, but that in the United
States there has been, and is
production in excess Of the allow
ables and in excess of the
amounts reported to the Bureau
of Mines and to the American
Petroleum Institute: and that
foreign production has not been
sufficiently restricted.

Polish Banks Get
FOreiQn Credits

The amount of foreign credits
extended to Polish banks amounted
on September 80, 1882, to 284, ,S0O,-
900 zlotys, according to figures re-
Gently released by the Central OF
flee of Statistics. This amount
compares with $4,000, 900 zlotys as
of June 80; 4O1, 100000 zlotys as Of
December 81, and $4,000, 900
zlotys as of September 80, 1881.
During that year Polish banks
have thus repaid 116,200, 900 zlotys
of foreign credit.
Germany was the leading cred
itor of Polish banks with 70,200,-
900 zlotys, France being second
with $4,000, 900, and Great Britain
third with A, 100000 zlotys. Short
term credits extended by American
banks totaled on the above date
14,60O, 900 Zlotys.

companies are now paying no
dividends, yields over the past
three years can be fairly COM
pared by using a large fixed list
of companies, regardless Of what
happens to their dividend rates.
Another advantage of the new in
dex is that important dividend
changes are given a proper
weighting.
In a separate compilation of
dividend rates on 900 common
stocks, Moody's reports that the
rate on January 81, 1888, was
$1.20, against $1.21 in December
and $306 at the peak level Of
March 81, 1880.
The 900 stocks, which include
some large bank and insurance
stocks not on the New York
Stock Exchange, had on January
81, 1888, an approximate market
value of 1872 billion dollars,
slightly more than the 1911 bill
