VERY investor tn royalties should
read the article In the current issue
A@ Of BARRON's national financial
weekly, dealing with the legal test Of the
securities act as applies to royalties.
This article points out that legitimate
royalty dealers were glad to have roy
alties placed within the scope OF the So
curities commission for the reason that
as soon as the Ty-by-night promoters
were driven out Of stock selling they
Immediately jumped into the royalty
business.
There is NO legitimate royalty dealer
In the country who has not been injured
by this invasion Of the royalty business.
Until very recent years, royalties were
little known. At te beginning, about the
only investors In royalties were officials
of operating companies, bankers and a
few others who used to buy perhaps
half of the Eandowners share for cash,
giving the landowner 3 chance 60 s'hedge"
ON the possibility of the failure Of the
operator TO find Oil on his land.
Then the public began TO learn about
fortunes made In royalties and there
grew a demand for royalties which be-
came nationwide. We recall that twelve
years ago, when this Organization was
getting started, there were comparatively
few people who had amy conception Of
the term royalty as applied 20 oil COM
paratavely few UNDERSTAND these now
but many people have heard of royalties.
Ignorance uf royalty values coupled
with the fact that royalties have made
tremendous fortunes for individual in-
vestments opened the doorway 60 crook
ed statesmen who might impose upon the
uniformed investor. AS this traffic
increased, the federal trade commission
decided TO take hand and so classified
royalties as 8 security Whether roy
alties are q security or real estate trans
actions has been questioned ia the courts,
and upon the decision In this case hinges
the continued regulation Of royalty sales,
and this Is the topic Of the article In
BARRONrs.
On the subject Of royalties che article
states:

UNCOVER M0SASARUS

A prehistoric reptile resembling
crocodile but IS feet long and
having large strong paddles for
swimming where the crocodile has
legs, has been unearthed by a
steam shovel working at the up
stream portals OF the diversion
tunnels on the Fort Peck damsite
on the Missouri river in northeast
ern Montana. Belonging in the
Bearpaw shales, 1t is estimated
that this fossil is 100000 years
old. 1t has been identified as q
mosasarus which is not a dinosaur.

This would leave but 2Oe6 for out
side investors and In that 2O@, there
are not enough really good royalties
TO fill the demand. IL was this con-
ditiom that gave the unscrupuIous
security dealer his big opportunity.
No two royalties are exactly alike
and there is mo- standard Of Value.
1t was perfectly possible for q dealer
to buy poor royalty cheaply in
Texas or Oklahoma and sell it for
a high price I'm the East. Misrepre-
sentatton or an exaggeration of the
possible return closed many q sale
of that type. Statesmen often me-
elected 60 point out to their prospects
that the sums received monthly
were. In part, an amortization OF the
principal, that strict bookkeeping
would show no income until after
the pay-0fk period, sometimes 10
70 10 years into the future. But
the fraud did not stop there. In
many EASES royalties ON M0n-prO-
ducfn9 Land were made 70 appear
as producing by the deliberate fake
ing Of official maps. Dots and circles
denot1ng wells would be inserted
where none actually existed. Royal
ties ON the open prairie, hundreds
OF miles from the nearest OH field.
were being pushed off ON the pubic.
Some form Of control was urgently
needed.
Commenting ON the case OF Aldricl
Blake, Texas oil operator, who Is test
ng the Law, the article concludes:
Reputable oil-rOyalty dealers hopx
Or. Blake win lose his case; admit he
las q fair chance OF winning. Should hf
vim, blu win be presented to the next
0ngress for the specific purpose Of check
ne fraud tn leases and royaIties--Am
equitable oil royalty dealers want stxict
equation. Their business was nearly
lined, royalties given q black eye, be-
he conditions that existed a year on
wo ego. These men win not permit a
eturn of the former questionable practice
It can possibly be avoided.

PREVARICATED MEET

Tacoma. Wash.-The Exalted Pre-
varieators Of the international Sour
dough reunion met in extraordinary
ssssion-and that's no lie. Right
off the BAT. Jack Roberts, Los
Angeles, told the annual convention
that somebody was a liar when
they said Alaskan miners fed dye to
invisible ice-worms so they could
be seen.
I'VE did not use dye" he said,
I'VE placed 40-rod whiskey on the
ice IN dishpans; the worms would
drink 1t and fall over with a thud.
Every time we card a thud, we
would grope IN that direction and
catch an iceworm. The only trouble
was that when those worms were
placed on the hook while full Of
whiskey, they just as soon catch
anything that came along instead
Of sticking to fish. 1 had an ice
worm once that caught a Polar
bear"

WARD LINE DENIES
PROFIT FROM FIRE
Counsel for MORO Castle Owners
Claims Losses Exceed $263, 900
Excess.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 18.-The
Ward Line, through its counsel, noti-
fed the Post once Department last
night that reports declaring the COM
pany made "a profit" of s263,ooo on
the insurance of the MORO Castle
were inaccurate.
The lines chief counsel, Roscoe H.
Hupper, told the Post Office inquiry
into steamship mail subsidies:
eff the depreciation set upon the
books and the insurance collected
were added together" he continued,
"the total would be a smaller figure
than the present cost of replacement. ="
The full. insurance carried on the
Moro Castle was collected, Hupper
wrote, and the obligations Of the COM
pany to the Shipping Board on the
construction loan were fully dis
charged.
Then there remained about $685.
900. The book valuation was COM
puted on original cost less deprecia-
tiori. This depreciation formula has
been applied as is customary in the
steamship business to the ship only as
a ship.
"This depreciation Of itself natu-
rally took no account of the effect
which the loss of an active ship has
on the business of the ship owner"
