does rot take a "seer" to note
that one great weakness of the

Further retrenchment in expenditures By the
railroad industry may be expected IN the near
future-and there is also a strong possibly
that it will become necessary for the lines to
lower rates
No ore wants this to happen. For many
years the relatively low volume of railroad
spending has been a drag on the nation,
and a further reduction will make the problem
of attaining general economic recovery doubly
difficult. But, in the light of existing condi-
tions, the raidroard no alternative.
The railroad asked the Interstate Commerce
Commission for a Is per cent freight rate in-
crease. 1t is estimated tina this would have
increased railroads revenues by $437. 900, 900 a
year, which is no more than is necessary to
compensate for increases in the price of ma
erials and supplies, and in wages and taxes.
The ice granted a rate increase ranging
from 5 to 10 per cent, with certain important
exceptions. such as soft coal, on which no in
crease whatever will be allowed. According to
J. J. Peley of the Association of American Rail-
roads. the increase granted will everage little
more than 5 per cent on the total volume of
traffic, and will increase revenues by only
$175 .000, 900 a year. This leaves the lines more
than $500 0 900 per year short of the money
needd to make up for the increases in operating
expenses that have occurred during the past six
years. As Mr.. Pelley said 1.-THE decisio is de-
pressing not only to the railroads but to indus
try as a whole and to general employmet."
So it seems unavoidable that ten nation will
feel even ore severity the effcts of a nirrardly
regulatory policy toward our greatest single

Where Crime
DOesn't Pay

The Washington Star recently observed that
the Governing Committee of the New York
Stock Exchage "is 10 be commended for its de-
cision to pat into effect a tew rule requiring
exchange BROKERAGE firms TO make available
statements of their financial condition TO any
customer uron request. To make this rule eff
fective. Charles r. Gay, President Of the Ex-
change. q 'ounced that the Exchange is cooper
ating with the Securities and Exchange Com
mission in the preparation of a new and SIM
plified form of financial statement that can be
easily understood by the man on the street. 1t
this rule is adequately enforced, and there is
every reason that it will be, the possibility that
dishonest brokers might deceive their customers
in the future viii be largely eliminated"
There are crooks in every calling whether
1T be government, banking, or the peanut trade.
The Stock Exchange has rot been to them.
But, out of regard for fact, it must be pointed
out that the percentage of failures o Exchange
members has been miraeulously low-far low
for example, than in the case of banks. And
those brokers who have been derelict of the
trust placed in the have been exposed and
punished, 10 matter how high their position, as
soon as their manipulations came to light. The
Whitney case in which only a few weeks passed
between the Exchanges discovery of his en-
Dezzlement and his commitment to a long
term IN Sing Sing, is dramatic proof of this.
The Exchanges new ruling requiring brokers'
10 prlvldS their customers understandable state
ments of financial condition, is simply one of
the many steps that have been voluntarily TAX
Ell TO place security dealings on the highest
conceivable ethical basis.

The Rare Exception

whenever a brokerage firm connected with
the New York Stock Exchange is suspended
iof insolvency, due to admittedly criminal act
viies, as in the Whitney case an immense
amount OF publicity naturally follows But such
occurrences are rare.
As a matter of fact, the record of solvencv
OF members of this Exchange is nothing short
OF astonishing, as a recently published SUMMARY
comparing failures among Stock EXCHANGE
members, all U. S. banks national banks and
commercials houses ~testifies. The figures on
winch the summary is based are taken from the
records OF the Exhcange Dun and Bradstreet
the Federal Reserve Board and the Controller
Of the Currency,
In no year since 1901 have failures of the
Exchange totaled l per cent of the membership
even though the amount handled by these brok-
ers Is ircaluculably great. BY contrast. in 10
years since 1901 failures of U. s. banks have
exceeded J nov CONT.
tional tanks have exceeded 1 per cent; and in
16 years, failures Of commercial house have
exceeded / per cent.
The worst year for bank failures since the
turn of the century was 1893. when IA 90 per
Of all u. S. banks and 1855 per cent of oil
rational banks closed because Of insolvency. In
that year Stock Exchange member failures to-
tai the microscopic percentage of .07l And in

was precisely zero-there was not single sus-
