Of worthless or nearly worthless
securities. The law does not begin
TO function until after the damage
has been done. and the victims al
most never get their money back
even though the criminal is appre-
hended and punished. The only
really effective correction probably
must come through education of the
public in the selection of their in
vestments.
Stock racketeers make excellent
use Of the human trait to want to
get rich quickly. In fact, that is
their chief stock in trade. And
many people who are astute in other
things fall like ton of brick for
their glib promises of great returns
for the investment of a small
amount of money. Seldom are any
attempts made to investigate the
worth of the securities offered.

Investors Easy Victims

1t seems rather strange, though,
that investors fall so easily. The
stock racketeer has made a few i'm
provements in his art in the past
decade or more. Improvements have
not been needed. He still employs
the old high-prssure methods of
craftsmanship; he still does most of
his solicitation over the telephone;
he almost never presents proof of
any of his statements; he very rare
" offers a balance sheet or an in
come account of the company, the
securities of which he seeks to sell,
and he usually gets most of his
clients from a suckers list"
The Salesman's most effective
weapon today is the trade out" He
secures the stockholders list of a
company. and Immediately goes to
work, suggesting to his victim that
an exchange of the securities he
now holds for those he has for sale
would be very advantageous.
Such an argument is particularly
appealing in times like these. In
many cases the security holder has
held his stocks throughout the de-
preston without getting dividends.
He is anxious to recover his losses
and so is a relatively easy victim to
a high-pressure sales talk.

AUGUST INSOLVENCY
INDEX SHOWS DROP
Decrease of 28.2 Points Is
Shown Since January.

Dun's Insolvency index for the first
half of September makes further
drop to 53.6 from 54.2 for August.
The decline was slightly less than
seaSonable for the first fall month.
1t compares, however, with TAT and
1892, respectively, for the first half
of September in the two preceding
years, continuing the heavy reduc-
ton heretofore noted.
For this year to date, there has
been reduction each month with
the exception of April and June.
The decline from January this year
to August has been 1872 points,
equivalent to a reduction Of 34.2
per cent.
For the year 1888, the decline from
January to August was 92.7 points,
or 51.6 per cent. Relatively, the re-
duction was greater in 1888 than
during this year, but the insolvency
index in that year was higher.
The flve-year average, covering
the years 1925 to 1929, inclusive,
may be CONSIDERED more nearly nor
NAL in the matter of seasonal de-
cline. The reduction for the Pc
Rod from January to August in
those years averaged 4S.6 points,
equivalent to a falling of OF 34.8
per cent. 1t is apparent that the de-
cline this year has been about sea-
Sonal.

BUYING SENDS
GRAINS HIGHER
Advance, However, Is
Curbed by Profit Taking
Operations.
RvLniied Press


CHICAGO, Sept. 2O.-A sharp
advance in Liverpool wheat gene
rated a buying movement on the
Board of Trade today which re-
suited in a higher price trend.
Wheat finished s to IL cents
higher, corn was IA to is cents
higher, and oats were up q to Ia
cents.
Although commission houses and
locals were fair buyers here, the
upturn encouraged profit-taking and
prevented a major advance. Win
nipeg wheat showed relative firm
ness with continued unfavorable
weather for harvesting. Liverpool
finished equal to Is to 2is cents
per bushel higher, with short cover
ing and an improved demand domi-
mating factors.
There still was some disposition
on the part of traders to employ
caution in their operations and
many were reluctant to take a def
mite stand on one side or the other.
The meather man indicated there
might be a frost in some sections of
the corn belt, and this brought buy
ing into the yellow cereal futures
market, with prices climbing higher.
Oats and rye largely were influ-
enced by activity of the other pits.
Provisions averaged higher, with
cash houses again on the buying
side.

While regional groups discussed
the possibility of divorcing produc-
ton limitation, processing tax, and
benefit payments on hogs from Joint
operation with the corn program,
it was learned that the legal division
had ruled against placing a small
processing tax on hogs with which
to supplement corn taxes to pay
corn acreage adjustment benefits,
as had been proposed.
AAA legal advisers declared that
if any processing tax is retained on
hogs, benefits must be paid on hog
production adjustment, according to
terms of the agricultural act.
The plans now in mind for 1895
comprise corn planting on about
ninety million acres, compared with
recent annual averages in excess OF
105,000000 acres, and holding the
crop to approximately 2,250,000,00C
bushels. The reduction of IS per
cent in hog narrowing this year
would be decreased to 20 per cent
in 1885 by present plans.
Mr.. Wallace made clear, however,
that much of the future depends
on farm reaction to proposals and
questions advanced in the nation
wide poll to be undertaken. Admin
istrator Chester c. Davis said AAA
would probably fix a date soon for
returns to be completed and leave
all other details to state and county
corn-hog program officials.

BANKING PLAN
WILL Be AIRED
Senator Smith to Detail
Plan Tonight Before
Farmers.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O-Sena-
tor Cotton Ed Smith, who con-
Quoted an inquisition into the color
of DR.. Rexford Guy Tugwell's eco
nomic ideas, now has a radical"
plan of his own. He wants to ma
tionalize banking to the extent of
having the federal government COM
pletely underwrite agriculture and
marketing.
Mr. Smith outlined his ideas to
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.
He announced that he will give the
public the full details of his plan
tonight, when he is principal speak
er at the national farmers union
convention at Des Moines.
Il want banking system for ag-
riculture completely divorced from
that for commercial and industrial
business" Mr.. Smith said. The
two things are not in the same
class.
agriculture depends upon the
variable factors of nature, which
are beyond control.
"It was a depressed industry for
years before the general depression.
Only a special system of banking
for agriculture will solve this prob
lem"
Although Mr.. TugWeu was made
undersecretary of agriculture over
Mr.. Smiths protest as chairman of
the senate agriculture committee,
the senator hasn't changed his
views regarding the Columbia uni
verSity professor.
He still thinks what the depart
ment needs for high positions are
real dirt farmers" Nor has he
been converted to crop control as
permanent policy.
He told Mr.. Wallace that he
thought all the Bankhead law re-
strictions should be lifted from cot
ton next year because 1--WE are 1,000,-
900 bales short now"
AS to AAA being generally help
full in solving the farmers prob
lens, the South Carolina senator
scoffed: I'll fire few shots into
the woods on that subject in my
DeS MOines speech"
