drickson also said that what is need ed most in the halibut fishing in- dustry is a stable fish price
 All other fish are rated at stand ing prices so that a man knows what he will get for his load before he goes out. A halibut fisherman is al- ways running risk of suddenly drop ping prices.
 Tt is believed that an increase in consumption is the need for stable prices.
 Only half pound of halibut per person is consumed annually in the United States" Hendrickson said.
 AS part of an advertising program to boost halibut consumption, a ra- dio program has been sponsored over KJR in Seattle called "Six Bells" every night at 10 o'clock. The advertising is being pad for by leverage" sales of halihuters- money received for half-price sales of hali- but brought to port over the trip quota.

 Question

Halibut fishermen want an in- crease in quotas next year was the .concensus at joint meeting of hali- but fishermen and vessel owners yesterday in l. Goldstein's store, pre- sided over by Arnot Hendrickson, representative here for the Ameri- can Halibut Control Board.
 "The present quota for the hali- but fleet is 46,O0O,0OO pounds" said Hendrickson, but because halibut fishermen are getting more halibut per skate now than ever before and the season has grown so short, hali- buters want an increase of quota to somewhere near 54,000,O00 pounds"
 HendrickSon explained that in earlier halibut fishing years, a hali- but fisherman used to make about IS trips year, but now he can only get in half that many trips. Hen-

N e m Orizing. Auto
Licenses Is His

PETERSBURG, Ind, Dec. !
uN.S)-Memorizing of automo-
bile licenses is the hobby of Harry
M. Dodge, 16, a junior in local
high school.
The youth, through observation
on the street and study of di-
rectory containing the names and
license number of cars, can tell
the names of more than 1000
owners of automobiles, if. the IL
cerlse numbers are mentioned.
And he also knows the posSessors
of 400 trucks by their license
numbers.
Dodge can remember historical
dates, but he is just on a par with
other school pupils, where multi
plication and division are in
volved. His gift is remembering
figures, and what they stand for.

Local Bank Stocks Good
Investment, Babson Says
CONTINUED from Page One.)


vestors have gradually adjusted their
thinking to terms of 3 1-2 per cent
return on prime bonds while business
men now figure on four per cent bank
charges as tops for their borrowings
The smart members of this group,
however, have not fallen into this
trap. They are busily figuring out
ways and means of protecting their
bond portfolios and production costs
against a rise in money rates. Low
interest rates are now no more a per-
mament part of our financial life
than were the eight per cent call
money charges in 1929. Hedges a.
gainst higher interest rates are easy
enough to find. The real trick, how
ever, is to discover hedging medium
that combines safety with profit pos
sibilities
Banks Have Swept Clean.
In this connection I think that
bank stocks fit into the picture fairly
well. Banks have had a hard time of
it the past few years. During the de-
preston they were forced to take
tremendous losses on both their Sc
curities and their loans. Then after
writing off millions of assets against
undistributed surplus, came the long,
slow, steady pressure on interest rates
To complicate matters further, many
sound bond issue yielding a good
return has been called. The invest
ment board of your sank can tell you
of the hours spent in searching for
profitable avenues for loans. Earning
power of banks naturally suffered a
heavy losses during the years of re-
adjustment and bank stocks lost IA
vor with investors.
The result is that this group has
fallen far behind the upward progress
of industrial stock values. The period
of adjustment, however, is now about
over and the outlook is much brighter
Many of the items Topped off as
worthless four years ago are now
showing remarkable recovery. Real
estate has made a fine comeback;
while stocks held against loans to in
dividuals are above water again. At
the same time operating expenses
have been cut drastically. For exam
pie, charges for services, formerly
given gratis, are now being made on
fee basis Commercial loans have hit
their low and are on the rebound. The
national level is today 100000, 900
above last summers figure. While the
total is still low, the trend is in the
right direction.
Commercial Loans Given "Shot."
Browsing back over bank history,
you will find that the source of bank
ing profits has often changed. In pro-
war days these commercial loans were
the leading profit item. Then during
the "gilded twenties" the emphasis
shifted to loans to individuals on
stocks, and on income from invest
ment banking affiliates, Today the
trend seems to be moving again.
this time toward trust business, con-
sumner credit, and personal financial
services. Even so commercial loans
are by no means relic of by-gone
days. In fact, I believe that there is
a more than ordinary expansion a.
head in this type of loan due to the
Federal tax on undistributed profits
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-02-26

Most corporation officials have not
the courage to retain profits for use
as working capital paying tax of
seven per cent or more thereon, when
an equal amount of bank credit is
available at three per cent or less. For
example, one big corporations annual
report showed borrowings for this
purpose-the first bank loans reported
in many years. Furthermore, as ac-
tivity continues to grow, the ordinary
demand for commercial loans must
increase Most corporations have so
far been ale to finance their heavier
volume of business out of surplus and
cash on hand. Further gains in COM
modify prices and the volume OF Or
ders means more working capital
than many concerns have available.
The fact that commercial loans are
finally expanding means that bust
ness houses are beginning to ask
banks for needed credit.
Bond Prices Down; Bank Profits Up.
Hence, earnings should improve
even with money rates at pfesent-day
levels. Any strengthening of interest
rates would of course, sharpen the OPP
portunities for bank profits; but it
would hurt bond prices. The major
reason why bonds are selling in the
attic is that interest rates are in the
cellar. Boost interest rates and bond
prices will tumble. The same comment
applies to cost sheets. Lift the price
of money and corporation profits suf-
fer. But-bOlster up interest rates and
bank earnings will rise. Hence, for
many months ahead bank stocks offer
fairly conservative hedge against a
Strengthening in money rates and a
resultant injury to bond prices and
corporation profits.
l especially Call attention to the
stocks of your local banks. The vard-
Gus new Federal Banking laws have
in most instances added to the Sc
curity of banks stocks. For example
the liability" of holders of national
bank stocks will be terminated on
July 1 of this year. These issues, how
ever, are not speculative mediums. In
fact, they are very inactive, but they
have many advantages as investment
issues. Earnings of most country
banks in 1896 showed fine pickup
over the previous year. If your home
town bank does not own too many
long-term government bonds and if its
board of directors is made up of SEN
sible men, then your local bank stocks
should now be good long-pull invest
ment.

is agreed, however, that Superintend-
ent Erwin and his hackers can cause
lot of trouble and undoubtedly
cause serious delay in the present
trend toward an early adjournment if
they decide to make serious fight
to get control of the School Commits
sion.
Classroom Support Doubtful
There are indications, however, that
superintendent Erwin and his educa-
ton association will not have the sup
port of the classroom teachers in this
move. A good many of the teachers
see in this effort to get control of the
school appropriation of almost $780,
100000 a year a move to change the
method of alloting it and fear that
if this is done, the salaries Of the sup
erintendents and principals would be
heavily increased-at the expense OF
