His job was to reach and destroy the
property of these desperate gangs. His
reputation for honor and integrity was
SO great that today he is the Director
of Public Safety Of Cleveland.
All of the men that | observed in
the government service who won a
reputation for being square, have ad-
vanced. None of the men about whose
character and integrity there was any
doubt has ever got anywhere.
| despise the phrase, Honesty is
the best policy" The man who is
honest merely because of good policy
will not tower over his fellow men.
The man who "shoots square" because
it is a part of his nature, is the man
who will be sought out.
Another phrase arouses my contempt:
Every man has his price" | have
seen it proved false so often that can
brand it as a spurious reflection upon
all decent men, The sky would have
been the limit for some Of the men |
trusted as public official.
Despite all of the criticism there is
of the American bar today, it has never
once come to my attention that law

know that this has happened, but |
have never seen it, and | think it is a
fair conclusion to state that it is rare.
And despite all of the financial
scandal following in the wake of the
depression years, the betrayal of con-
hdence by bank and trust officers, the
selling Of unsound securities-despite
all this there were many who held to
the old ideals and the old faith, and the
temptation of huge profits could not
shake them. They were "square shoot
ers,' and when the tragic story of the
depression was written they stood out
in the splendor of their character.
have lectured to students at
number of colleges, and many of the
questions they have asked me indicate
that the pernicious doctrine of "getting
by" is prevalent. That doctrine is the
quicksand of life Tragedy lies ahead
for those who enter their professional
lives with such a philosophy. But the
doctrine of shooting square" holds up
under every test. Business or profess
sional success rests securely upon its
foundation.

Tor many years | have watched
@ business and professional men
pass by. Triumph and tragedy!
Success and failure! All of those
who withstood the ordeal Of life were
men who were square shooters, whose
honesty was so ingrained that being
square" was a natural reaction.

came to grips with the most highly
organized gang ever known. 1t was an
invisible government, rich, influential
in corrupt politics, bold because it
could strangle justice by murder.
Bribery was one Of its potent weap-
ons, and thousand-dollar bills were
offered as carelessly as the average
man gives ten-cent ii ip to waiter.
The men the government assigned to
investigate this powerful gang had to
keep what we were doing profound
secret. And never once was the govern
ment's interest betrayed.
Frank Wilson and A. p. Madden
were in direct charge of the investiga-
ton of the AL Capone case. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars in bribes were
hinted at. They were never tempted
Threats of death came both to them
and to me. But they could not be
swerved from the path of duty.
High government officials knew of
the work they did, and Frank Wilson
went from one trusted job to another
Recently the President appointed him
to be chief of the United States Secret
Service - and Madden was left as
head of the Chicago branch of the
Intelligence unit.
K. P. Aldrich was postal Inspector
in Chicago He was tireless and relent-
less in his investi cations of train rob-
berries, but when the time came to
present evidence in court, he would
never permit single over-statement OF
fact which might be unfair to the
defendant. So great was the confidence
of the United States courts in him that
his word was never doubted.
Washington needed "square
shooter" as chief Of the postal inspec-
tors, and the choice was K. P. Aldrich.
The ones have mentioned were out
standing. But there were many Others.

0nnortunities Still Exist

Commenting on the Opportunities for youth in the cleo
trio utility industry II. p. LiVersidge, vice-president of the
Philadelphia Electric Company, said: twenty-five years ago
a young man with an engineering education accepted it as a
foregone confusion the fact that one Of The most desirable
openings for him was the electric light and power industry. /"
lie then pointed out the remarkable growth of the indus
try, the constant downward revision of rates, the fact that no
nation In the world approaches che United States in the wide
availability OF electric service, and said, "This has been ae-
c~omphshed through the traditional American system of encour-
aging individual enterprise under suitable eontrol.' Mr.. Liver
sidge feels that the political maligning of the industry will
run Its course and the soundness of the American idea will
finally confuse the socialistic propagandist.
Speaking of the profit system, he says: 1--WE may theor-
ize to our hearts content and draw glowing pictltres of an ace
OF production for use and not for profit, but, human nature
being what it is, when a nation pursues any plan in which
profit is eliminated, it will find 1t has brought about a loss
that ultimately must prove a hardship to the very public it
was endeavoring to benefit"
He points out the opportunity for growth of the industry
and the many advantages that still remain for the young men
who wish to enter it as a life work. What the industry has
done is but a sample of what it can do in the future if pi-
vate enterprise is allowed to develop the nations resources as
in the past. If L is not, the field for young men will be lin
tied, not only in the electric industry, but in many other en-
deavors, as government RECOMMENDATION curbs private enter
prize. The answer is up to the people and ito the very young
men who are now considering their future.

Business Week has compiled an
interesting survey showing what
employed wage earners' families
earn and how they spend it.
Highest wage is on the Pacific
Coast, where data complied for
Seattle sows that the chief wage
earner of the average family takes
in $1,508 a var. The average num-
Der workers per family is LIB, and
gross income is $1,604.
A greater gross income is shown
for New York-$1,7 43-but this is
due to a larger average number of
workers per family, 1872, and the
chief wage eaner receives but ST.
857.
Lowest gross income is found
among Birmingham Negroes, $806
per year.
Major expenditure is food, over
aging around 35 per cent, with
housing second.

Killing the Railroad Goose

Because railroads cannot adjust their rate structure quick
ly to fluctuations in cost Of operation. the steady rise in rail
road taxes IS an economic problem which demands serious
attention, says the Commercial and Financial Chronicle.
So far as the Federal government is concerned, railroads
are taxed on Che same basis as industry in general. Abuse
has appeared in state and local taxes. They represent invest
ment Of $4,000 100000 and the Tines traverse practically ev-
cry county IN the United States. Local Officials have gone TO
tremendous ends to exploit this great indukrv for revenue
purposes.
Railway taxes in 1886 totaned $819,7O000O Of which 81
per cent was collected by state and local overments This
amounted to 285 Per cent of the lfnes' operating revenue.
In other words, more Than %onefourth Of the activities and
property was devoted to producing net operating income suf-
fisient TO pay the tax bin. IN the case Of a strneently regu-
lated industry, whose rates are fixed BY public bodies. this is
an excessive and dangerous proportion.

Su lething Investment
May Be Dynamite

There is no known forula which
will enable an investor to pick an
absolutely safe investment. Risk is
always present in the ownership OF
property.
There is, however, a proven, time
tested formula which will enable
the investor to aviod sure losers.
Shun the plausible stranger who
guarantees safety and large in
come at the same time. The seeur-
tiles faker, like the race track
tout, offers his prospective victim
sure things"
Be sure that you know exactly
what you r buying before you in
vest. And, more than that be sure
that you know you are specu,ating
before you speculate.
This is the gist of some advice
recently offered investors by one
Of the nations leading security
authorities-Charles R. Bay, pre-
sident of the New York Stock FIX
change. Mr.. Gay pointed OUT, fur
ther, hat Federal supervision of
securities and state Blue Sky laws,
even though they have accomplish.
ed some fine results, are no assur-
ance of Investment safety. In
some Games, tese laws have actual
ly encouraged the fake security bu
siness-illegitimate brokers use the
fact of government supervision as
an opportunity for imposition on
The unwary, offering it as evidence
of their own character or the char
acter of their securities. The law
cannot catch each and every rock
whether he be a second-story man
Of the operator of a bucketshop.
There is no substitute for per-
sonal prudence and caution on the
part of the security buyer. Rules of
the New York Stock Exchange re-
quire that all concerns listing
stocks and bonds on its board, make
public exhaustive information per-
tipent to their past experience, the
quality of their management, the
purpose for which new securities
are issued, etc. Anyone interested
can obtain this information and
discover precisely what he is buy
ing. The investor who falls for the
TIE old dodge of a "sure thing that
will earn so per cent a year profit"
will lose his money 80 times out of
100.

Every Fourth Work Day

Americans must work nearly one full year out Of every
%eight-or about six weeks out Of every year-to pay the cost
of the Federal government" says the United States News.
When the local and state government costs are added to
the expenditures Of the national government. the average
American must work two years out Of every eight to pay the
cos of government The tax collector gets a cut in every pay
check. lis unseen hand reaches il and takes part Of all the
money you spend for food, amusement, clothing, train fare,
power service. And his percentage is today greater than it ever
was IN peace time III this country.
The Twentieth Century Fund es mates that total gov
eminent costs have swelled to $l7,OOOyOoo 900 a year. That is
approximately 20 per cent of the national income in good
times. When you work four weeks, the public treasures take
your earnings for one of the weeks.
During the next year or 50 we will make or break" SO

Alake Back to Africa

Abeokuta, Nigeria, Africa Aug.
26 (ANP)-After spending more
than two months in England where
he represented West Africa at the
coronation of King George VI, the
Oba Alalyeluwa Ademola II, Alake
of Abeokuta, has arrived in his
homeland. He sailed from Liver
pool, England, on the steamship
"Acora.
During his stay in London, the
Alake was responsible for breaking
down much color prejudice and was
treated with the dignity befitting
his position.
He was received in person by
King George and spoke directly
with the new ruler instead Of thru
an Interpreter, as is customary
with African chiefs when presented
at court.
After his interview with the king,
the Alake continued his round of
engagements, eliminating in a
formal reception at the exclusive
Mayfair hotel in London's West
end. which was attended by a num-
Der Of well known members Of the
nobility and their wives, including
The Archbishop Of York. No native
ruler has ever before been host to
a number of English "bluebloods"
in that section with a fashionable
society orchestra in attendance.
It is beloved the Alake made a
master stroke of social tact and by
crashing the high barriers of race
pejudice, established a precedent
and made it easier for others who
follow him to London.
