Reader Confused

Albany, Cal, asks:
IF a farmer were to save his
wheat, wouldn't he lose his hoard
unless he planted IL some time .
shouldn't we clear the money
boards out of our bank and put
them to work. >"
Answer: You are mixed up on
two matters.
Money in the bank is not
boarded. Ii is loaned or invested
by the bank. In normal times,
the bank S loans and investments
are considerably larger than
their total deposits.
In the second place. savings
ana investment are two different
things. Savings need moi be
boarded and usually are not
boarded. They can be held as
reserves for a rainy day or
they can be invested in produc-
tive enterprises.
Thus the farmer you refer 20
might hold a small reserve of
wheat for food and seed in case
of crop failure. The rest he
would either plant or sell for
cash which he would invest in
some other productive enter
prise.
ASIDE frsm necessary reserves
for consumption. Il is investment
that justfieS saving.

Query on Pensions

Glendale. Cal. asks:
"ShauId high-paid corporation
officials be given pensions? L
contend that after receiving
good salaries for many years
they should save enough to pro-
vide for themselves"
Answer: I am inclined TO
agree with you. When the PEN
sion is not necessary it had bet
ter not be given.
There is too much tendency
these DAYS to want what Is
called security at the expense
Of efficiency and progress. My
fear would be that the official
who expects a good pension
would be relieved of some Of
the feeling of responsibility for
the success Of his company that
he should have He would come
10 be sure Of his tenure. Thus
business might become like gov
eminent. which would be bad.
ANY pension for responsible
CORPORATION official should be
made contingent upon his sue
cess in contributing to has COM
pany's profits.

Price Regulation

Adequate price regulation is
most desirable. The new price
fixing agency, under Leon Hen
derson, has been entrusted with,
a Wett-ntgh Ifre-or-death grip on
industry, business. 1t could
thwart, throttle, ruin, were 1t
to exercise its responsibilities
shortsightedly, unwisely, vindic-
lively.
1t calls for supreme economic
judgment 10 determine just what
prices should be fixed for this,
that and the next, a thousand
and-one. raw materials and
products.
p II is 10 he hoped that The
new ~ appointed bureaucrats
realize that, by and large, pri-
vate enterprise has kept prices
down to a strictly rational level,
that attempts at GOuging have
been extremely rare, that re-
Straint has been NE RUE nat
the general price level in this
country has not a q van c d
unduly.
Thus the OPM should address
itself 10 its duties in a friendly
rather than punitive spirit.
Al the same time. the ma
tional interest demands that
runaway prices he prevented
Initiation could become even a
greater menace than foreign
foes.

Public Opposes
Strikes Among
City Workers
By LEWIS HANEY

rnofexspr Of tconcmiesf - = AniNffstp
New York City asks:
should the members Of a
trade union be prohibited from
striking II they work for a
municipality"
Answer: Should such workers
as the eity's street cleaners or
fremen be allowed to strike?
Think what might happen TO
our health and safety.
Government must maintain
law and order. This requires
discipline and obedience on the
part Of lis employees.
Government is not run for
nroht. The tactics of organized
labor in seeking 20 get a larger
share of the earnings Of bust
ness have no place in govern
mcrf. d,
The public viii not stand
strikes among government en-
ploves. and such organizations
as The Transport Workers Union
will be ill-advised 10 try them.

Cites Two Instances

The national war labor board
had more power than the con-
temporary national defense me-
diauon board. The former board
was the final authority IN labor
disputes and II was aided by the
agreement OF unions to forego
tire right to strike IN favor of
arbitration.
The record diSCloSeS two in
stances OF unwlllingness 10
follow the earlier boards deci-
Sions. One industrial company
declined TO abide by a ruling,
and as a result its plant was
commandeered by the federal
government for the war period.

gagged in munitions produce

Realty Problem

residences. Should 1 now put

Answer: There is so much I'M
certainty that some diversified
ton is desirable; although you
must not think that this viii
remove uncertainty or eliminate
the need of care. Real estate is
subject TO the danger Of special
taxes. There is also a danger OF
pretty general overbuilding,
caused by government foolish
ness. At the same time. invest
ment trusts are now safer than
they used TO be. 1 would say,
YES.

Firms, Labor Should Unite
to Speed Defense Work

-taTV agreements between ueElt-
ers and employers. though the
work week was extended from 40
hours to As hours and longer.
In, explaining this extension in
the House of Commons the min
lister of labor declared: 4
I'VE appreciate that this in
wolves the possible relinquishing
of certain standards which labor
has established over the years.
Tho only rxcuse for asking that
these temporary concessions be
considered is that we must win
the war. and sacrifice Is I'M
avOidable."
Canada has likewise extended
TO all defense industries the OPP
Grafton of the Industrial Dis
puteS Investigation Act, which
has been IN effect for many
years for transportation and
utility workers. 1t provides for
mediation of disputes. In the
event of unwillingness of either
side to comply with the media-
lion boards finding. the govern
ment relies on public opinion to
implement the decision.

Superior Stee
Net Improves

PITTSBURGH, April 15.--It is
likely that Superior Steel Corpora
ton for the three months ended
March 81, will report net profit in
excess of S225,O00 after all de-
auctions including substantial pro-
visions for taxes. This would be
equivalent to 81 or more a share
on the 1925 shares of capital
stock.
In the first quarter of 1910. SUI
perior reported a net profit of
$84. 009. equal to "A cents share.
and in the like period of 1899 the
corporation suffered a loss of
$6.733.
While Superior does not publish
earnings for the final quarter of
the year. the indicated net, profit
in the three months ended Deem
ber 81 last. based on the showing
for the nine months ended with
September and the year 1910, was
in excess of $l5S000 or $1.39 a
share on the stock.

Tire

Ever pull out the old spare
tire only TO find IL was all full
of little cracks and the rubber
was dead as a mackeraI:
Well, Firestone's engineers
have solved your problem and
say it'll never happen again.
BY the addition OF new COM
pound 10 natural rubber, they
have developed the weather
proof tire which resists de-
terioration and cracking as
result Of exposure TO the sun
or TO heat.
This is expected 70 be a par
ticular boon To farmers who
have long had trouble with
weather checking of tires on
tractors and other farm equip,
ment.
