The cost of building construction
was. on the whole, very constant
during the years 1923 to the middle
of 1881. This plateau of costs was
at a height just about double the
average for 1918. The drop from
this height to the depression low
was close to 20 per cent. During
last year building costs went down,
while building activity went up.
Such condition in an industry has
generally proved a stimulant to
further activity.

Underwriters.

Good credit risks become better
risks when the life of the debtor or
borrower is adequately insured, Will
liam P. Flynn, vice president of the
Indiana National Bank, told mem
bers of the indianapolis chapter of
Chartered Life Underwriters at a
luncheon in the Columbia Club to-
day
Speaking on Life Insurance in
Relation TO Credit and Banking" ="
Mr.. Flynn asserted that life inslir-
ance companies in this country have
maintained their traditional record
OF stability and performance to an
impressive degree throughout the
depression.
One of the most important uses
OF life insurance in banking and
business is known as 'key-man' life
insurance" Mr.. Flynn said.
Supports Other Collateral
when firm or corporation bor-
rows money or issues securities, it
is important that the chief owners,
officers or executives be insured. In
that way the death of such mem
bers will not disturb the progress
of the business.
Life insurance supports other
collateral in making a bank loan,
OF in emergency loan may be
made on the security of the policy
which has cash values"
Mr.. Flynn also pointed out that
life insurance to protect credit,
banking and financing operations
tends to give the insured borrower
confidence and freedom from anx-
iety, and that this fact in itself
may be a great aid in the success
of a business venture for which a
loan is made

from a committee OF business men
and bears the signature of rep
resentatives of the National Asso-
citation of Purchasing Agents, the
National Association of Advertis-
ers, the National Association of
Credit Men, the Associated Adver-
tising Clubs of the World. They
know their business world. Here
is what they say of dishonesty and
graft in business:
"TT is fostering sore in the COM
i mercial body of the nation. It's
extinction calls for a drastic use
of The knife. If allowed to pro-
ceed unchecked and uncontrolled.
it destroys legitimate competition
and cancels the reward Of merit
There are few branches
which are not honeycombed by its
corroding influence"
But here is another witness for
Mr. Borah. He, too, is not raw
ing red nor disgruntled politi-
clan. He is Judge Edwin B. Par
ker, former chairman of the board
O. directors of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
These remarks he made in
speech to the Chamber of Com
merce itself. He said:
The times demand that we con-
slider the disturbing evidences of a
business atavism, throw-back to
the day of unrestrained individual
ism; day of 'public-be- damned
when men of great business abil-
ity with an eye single to their own
selfish interests and immediate
returns and without regard to the
future, ruthlessly pursued their
predatory lusts in spirit of after
me the deluge.
WE are here concerned in
w awakening the dormant
business consciences of the many
stockholders of corporations who,
through non-action, impliedly
place the seal of approval on the
acts of their offending agents.
They can not accept the profits
flowing from corruption and escape
the moral stigma which adhereS to
such profits"
Whatever the sources and origin
of ethical rules, this at least is cer-
tain. that the capitalist system de-
pends for its continuance on the
acceptance of certain definite rules
of honesty, the most fundamental
of which is the acceptance of the
fiduciary capacity. The last dec
ade has revealed the most amazing
decadence of fiduciary honesty in
history.

Closer to. Goal.

1t is conceivable that in the case
of prolonged Spanish civil war a
conflict between some of the major
European powers may arise; Russia,
feeling that Italy, Germany and Port
ugai are supporting the fascist rebels,
may feel justified in stepping in to
help the Madrid government. On the
other hand, these three nations, sens
ing that Russia may already be help
tervene in favor thereof and against
the fascists. 1t cannot be said that
the danger is so very close at hand,
but it is there, just the same.
There is some reason for believing,
however, that the Spaniards are about
to settle their affairs in their own
way, for the rebels are drawing ever
closer to Madrid, and that city is now,
to very large extent, cut off from
communication with the outside world
getting closer and closer to the cap
ital, they cut off one railroad line
after the other, one highway after the
other, and the Madrid lines of COM
munication are getting ever fewer and
less useful.
1t looks at the moment of writing
as though the government stands
helpless in face of the siege, and as
though it must, in the end. yield to
the rebels. That will mean a new
fascist government in Spain. 1t will
mean, too, continued period of I'M
rest, for, of course, the democratic
and radical grol ps will not very quiet
ly acquiesce in the dictates of fas-
cist despotism; will resist; will fight
back; will keep up the turbulence
which in recent years has become
one of the chief characteristics of
Spanish public life.
