the pavement they demanded
would not hold up and tnat the
concrete slab type of surface
used on Maple st. south of Sew
enth would be best.
The action stemmed out of the
Maple st. sewer that was put in
by Mr.. Leach's Company more
than a year ago. The resurfacing
done on the street proved un-
satisfactory and the village re-
fused to pay the five per cent
retainer fee of $60l7 held by
them. Leach brought suit and
later dropped the action, agree
ing to repave the street free of
charge.
In June, 1949, the part of
Maple st. that had broken up was
resurfaced and the Floyd G..
Browne Engineering Firm of
Marion, hired by the city to sup
ervise the job, approved the new
surface although it was obviously
inferior and weakened almost at
once.
The Grindell Construction
Company, of Redwood, was then
hired by the village to put third
surface on the section of Maple
st. and they were paid $725 for
the project. Leach brought suit
again for the retainer fee and the
council offered him their check
for S5292 the fee minus the
amount paid to Grindell for the
resurfacing. Leach refused the
check and continued his action
for the entire amount.
Two witnesses were called by
the defense, Mayor C. L. Kings
more and ]. F. O'Laughlin of the
Marion Engineering firm. The
plaintiffs called three persons to
the stand, G.. H. Leach, owner
of the company; Herbert F.
Krebs, resident engineer, who
was paid $100 per week by the
city to supervise the project, and
Robert Galloway, in charge of
the Leach Company's operations
on the sewer project.
c. A. and William S. Hopes
were the attorneys for the plain
tiff while Luther L. Liggett and
,, William Porter were attorneys
for the city.

lians employed by the United
States government at home and
abroad was one million, nine
hundred and seventy-nine thou
sand, four hundred and ninety
four-a reduction of almost one
half. During the month of Dec.
81, 1949, to Jan. 81, 1850, more
than fifty thousand additional
employees were dropped from
the U. S. payroll.
The peak of our uniformed
strength was reached in mid
summer of 1945 when the per-
sonnel of the Army and Air

On December 81, l949, the per-

further reductions have since
been made, but this IS the latest

In l945, in uniform or out. a

people were on the U. S. payroll
at the same time. Today the tot
al is little less than three and

still leaves one civilian employee

war but most of 1t has been in the
growth of existing companies by
the re-inyestment Of their large
profits. Such profits, however, will
not continue long in buyers mar
ket and they do not solve the prob
lem of financing the ew compa-
nies which have been the principal
cause of our past growth.
Both small and large companies
have difficulty selling common
stock. The reasons are not far to
seek. Tax rates are so high on up
per incomes which provided most
equity investment in the past that
the Well-to-do are better off in
vesting in safe or taX-free bonds at
low rates. For example, a man
with an income of $4,000 invest
ing in a corporation which earns
10 per cent would only receive
about 2 per cent return on his
money after taxes. A man with an
income of 100000 would receive
only about l per cent. investments
in common stock are subject to
double taxation, a corporation
paying 38 per cent on its profits
and the individual paying full in
come tax rates on money dis
tributed.
There is still plenty Of money
saved i'm the United States, but
it is saved by millions of persons
with lower incomes who cannot
afford to risk their money. The
result is very poor demand for
common stocks. A Federal Re-
serve Board survey shows that
So per cent of all spending units
were against holding" common
stocks. 1t has become as unfash-
ionabIe to hold them as it was
fashionable in 1929.
THE remedy for this situation
rests partly in education which
could be undertaken by the in.
vestment bankers. 1t also seems
clear to me that dividends re-
ceived from a corporations earn

ings already taxed chould be eX-
empt from some part Of the indi-
vidual income tax. doubt whether
we can do much about the high
taxes on upper incomes as long as
we take IS per cent OF the national
income for government expense.
Therefore, we should find some
way to channel the savings of
small savers into equity capital.
Such savings seem to flow
fairly freely into unincorpOrated
businesS-retail stores, gasoline
stations, and the like. But the
large reservoirs of such savings
are i'm savings banks and inSur-
ance companies, which tradi-
tionauy have not invested i'm
equities.
Savings banks perhaps might be
induced to make long term loans
to industry, but can hardly be ex-
pected to invest in equities. Insur-
ance companies are severely linn
tied by law, but I believe that some
part of their reserves should be
permitted to be invested in cqui-
ties and should be SO invested.
THERE are various other plans
for channeling small savings
into industry without the risk in
volVed in the direct purchase of a
common stock. 1t has been sug-
gested that we establish and en-
courage investment companies
which could spread the risk by
buying the securities of number
of different small businesses.
1t has further been suggested
that the government might insure
some of these investments or loans
so that the amount of possible loss
would be cut. Such venture capital
companies also would have to re-
ceive the same taxation treatment
as investment trusts do today.
Others have proposed a system Of
special capital banks within the
Federal Reserve System, and still
others would insure the long-term
loans of commercial banks.
There is a considerable demand
from small business for direct
government loans. AS far as short
term loans are concerned, I be-
lieve private banks will make any
that are justified. think we must
find method of providing long
term loans and equity capital, but
I am opposed to direct government
funds for this purpose with all its
favoritism and inefficiency.
We must find a method of pro-
viding private capital for the
legitimate demands for small
business on terms rejecting the
going return on such capital.

He did not choose the sea or painless air,
But wisely made more eXacting choice.
Within his being a native flair
For high adventure Her alluring voice
Came he probed what one else had known
And marked a trail within the world of thought;
Though others always cleaned where he had sown,
And genius often sells its gold for naught
But when l think of and how he lives,
How far the crooked edge of knowledge bends,

That line its farthest curve. His work commends
The distant view And then he thrills to find
That true adventure dwells within the mind.
