GOOD OLD HINDSIGHT
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

commodities? Buy more of the
same things at high prices? No
indeed. That is a good way to go
broke. Buy something that will
not go down in price. Buy, for
example, government bonds.
Did you notice that when real
estate and stocks were selling for
three and four and five and ten
times their values, government
bonds were but two or three dol
lars above par? At that time you
could buy a hundred dollar gov
'ernment bonds for SOB or $1O4.
Why did not government bonds
increase in value in proportion to
real estate and stocks? Because
those bonds had fixed rate Of
income - which was small. COM
pared with the inflated and dan
gerous profits that could be made
in real estate and stocks. That
small, fixed income kept the price
of bonds down.
Here are two rules that finan-
cial oldtimers use-they get them
from hindSight, but they call it
foresight.
First Rule: When real estate
and stocks are high in price, sell
them and buy sound bonds. Why?
Because high-priced real estate
and stocks will decline in value,
while sound bonds usually will
not. If they do, they will pay in
terest on the investment and will
sooner or later return to par.
Second Rule: When real estate
and stocks are low, sell bonds and
buy good real estate and good
stocks; for eventually they will
increase in value. When they do
increase in price, sell them and
buy bonds-and so on, ad infnl-
tum.
Another valuable way hind
sight can be used as foresight: 1t

TAX MAXIMS

Adam Smiths classic maxims on taxation deserve
consideration at this time of agitation over new
tax program with It's farreaching effects on the
affairs of every United States citizen.
1. The subjects of every state ought to contrib
ute towards the support of the government as near
ly as possible in proportion to their respective ab
tiles; that is, in proportion to the revenue which
they respectively enjoy under the protection OF the
state The expense of government to the indivldu-
ais of great nation is like the expense of manage
tment to the Joint tenants of great estate, who
are all obliged to contribute in proportion to their
respective interests in the estate. In the observa
ton or neglect Of this maxim consists what is called
the equality or inequality of taxation.
e. The tax which each individual is bound to pay
ought to be certain and not arbitrary The time
of payment, the maner of payment, the quantity
to be paid ought to be clear and plain to the con-
tributor and to every other person.
81 Every tax ought to be levied at the tlme or
in the manner in which it is most likely to be con-
venient for the contributor to pay it.
4. Every tax ought to be so contriyed as both to
!, take out and to keep out Of the pockets of the
people as little as possible over and above what it
brings into the public treasury of the state.-The
Christian Science Monitor.

WILL RELIEFERS WORK?

The Federal Emergency Relief Administration
prepares to put the first 100000 men to work
under the Presidents $4,OO00O0,O0O work-relief
program. These workers are already earning their
relief money on special projects and these projects
twill be transferred along with them The operation
is largely one of bookkeeping. But the next step
is opening up of many already approved projects
under the new setup and the absorbing OF 2,3Oo,-
600 workers. most of whom now completely
idle, as the manual force. The works-relef field
program is still in preparation, but the Admins
tration is determined to rush it. The relief army
must diminish swiftly, the work army must begin
to function-and grave national question must
begin to find it's answer.
The grave question is whether multitudes who
have been receiving relief aid for which they did
nothing will cheerfully take jobs. Current events
do not fill the officials with optimism. Berries are

DEPENDABILITY is FIRST DEMAND OF
AUTOISTS
CBy BRUCE CATION

Sit on front porch beside rural high
way and watch the automobiles go tipping
by, and you will get the idea that the
American motorist asks for one thing, and
only one, when he buys a Car-speed.
Yet speed, as matter of actual facr,
seems to be the least valued quality an
auto can possess, according to recent
survey of automobile owners.
This survey was conducted by the re-
search staff of one group of manufacture
ers. 1t sent questionnaires to more than
loco, 600 motorists, asking them to list the
general characteristics which they priced
most highly in new car.
Their replies are rather surprising.
The thing the motorist wants most in his
car, according to this survey, is the homely
old quality of dependability. He likes TO
feel thaath old bus will keep on running,
month. in and month out, and that he won't
always be taking it to- the service station
for annoying and expensive repair jobs.
In the second place came economy, which
is, of course, allied to dependability;, and
next to these two qualities the motorists
wanted safety-which also has something
10 do with dependability.
Next, in the order named, the motorists
voted for comfort, appearance, ease OF
control, low first cost, smoothness, pickup
and, last of all, speed.
The results of this QUESTIONABLE are
more than a little instructive. They sug-
gest, for instance, that the automobile in
dustry is wise in edging away from the
yearly change-of-model stunt; for the cars
appearance, after al, ranked only fifth on
the list, and the demand for dependability
suggests that many driver likes to hang
on to a sturdy car regardless of minor
changes in body stylings.
And they indicate, furthermore, that the
great mass of auto drivers is not speed
crazy. Looking at the whizzing cars on a
through highway might make one feel that
everyone in America is intent on shaving
seconds from his travelling time; but ap-
parently the speed-bugs are gonly small
minority of the motoring public.
In fact, the QUESTIONABLE indicates that
most motorists are pretty sensible when
they come to buy cars Now if there were
only some way of putting some sense into
that small minoritg that likes speed, speed
and then more speed, we might reach d
millennium in which all motorists were as
dependable as their automobiles.

is hindsight-but you can use 1t
as foresight; for sooner or later
the same situation will confront
you again.
When real estate and stocks are
high in price, when commodities
that have widely fluctuating val
ues are high in price, sell those
things while you can get the high
prices; for invariably-as certain
as the seasons follow one another
they will go down in price.

The conference was attended by
Ambassador Norman H. Davis.
Americas rowing disarmament ex'
pert, called here from his Tennes-

Discretionary Power
The principle feature of the pro-
posals to which the State Depart:
ment objects is that 1t would
make the power granted the
President mandatory rather than
discretionary.
The proposals call for an arms
embargo against all nations at
war; the prohibiting of loans or
credits to warning nations; and
the withdrawal of protection from
American citizens entering danger
zones.
AS now drafted, the proposals
provide that these steps would be-
come effective Immediately upon
the outbreak Of war between other
nations.
The State Department contends
that this mandatory feature
would deprive the United States
Of its diplomatic influence In
averting major wars.
The Department favors the
three measures provided for in
the Nye proposals but it wants the
President granted discretionary
power to invoke them.

Otherwise, il is felt the United
States would possess no influence

tacking a little one and thereby
