But there is, Mr.. Horne says
a reasonable supply of equity
capital to those who meet the
baSics of free enterprise.
Fortunately for small bust
nesses and for the national
economy. many types of finan-
cial institutions are activity
engaged in supplying them
with funds" he says. These
institutions include your own;
commercial banks, investment
banking firms: insurance COM
panies. the new small business
investment companies. and the
SBA itself"
The SBA has for years been
lending equity capital to small
businesses who met the test
for soundness (although some
of them later were found to be
unsound.
The SBA has also fostered
the organization of small bust
ness investment companies, in
which the Government partici-
pates in capital stability. AL
most 375 Of these companies
have been formed, making mil
lions Of dollars available to
small business.
The SBA is also pushing a
plan whereby banks can par
ticipate in loans to small bust
ness. In this plan, the bank
puts up part Of the money. the
SBA the rest. The more the
bank puts up, the further can
the Government share be ex-
tended.

Stock Ownership Spreads
~ SYLVIA PORTER

Corporation stock ownership
has increased two and a half
times in the last 10 years.
When the New York Stock
Exchange releases the result of
its fourth Nationwide census
of shareholders next year, it
is expected to show that Is
million or more own stocks
compared with 6.5 million when
the first census was reported
in 1852.
The margin by which women
outnumber men as shareholders
is at an all-time high, prob
ably around SO per cent for
women. Al per cent for men.
The percentage of new share
holders probably is 81 per cent
for women, 43 per cent for
men. In 1852, women accounted
for less than half the share
holding population; in 1856 the
proportion of women stock
owners crossed the so per cent
mark. In 1859 the margin
widened, and since then it has
widened still further.
Census Under Way
The fourth nationwide CEN
suS of shareholders is at the
halfway mark. and this survey
is by far the most compre-
hensive to date. More than
1000 public corporations, with
about 5000 different common
and preferred stock issues out
standing, are answering eX-
haustive missionaries. Over
100000 stakeholder names and
addresses are being coded, me-
chemically process Sed and
matched against each other. An
immensely complicated task in
which the corporations are CO.
operating is eliminating the
stakeholder duplication which
arises from the fact that many
individuals own shares in more
than one company.
The results are due in SIX
months or so, and even at
this early date, some guesseS
can eb made on the findings.
For instance. -.
The age of all stockholders
is dropping, probablyt o 48-
and of new shareholders pos
sibly to IS or less. A major
reason for this is the stock
buying by corporation employees.
Employe stock purchase
plans have increased sharply.
One of five companies listed
on the Big Board now offers
a form of stock buying plan
for employees. More than 1.6
million employes-half those
eligible under the plans-are
buying stocks. The fact that
over so per cent Of employees
eligible to buy under these pro-
grams are using them means
that the corporation employe
is a far more regular investor
in stocks than the adult pop
ulation as a whole.
New York Dominates
The average shareholder to-
day has a household income
of more than $4,000 and the
average new shareholder has
a household income of over
$1,000. A large percentage of
stockholders also have other
investments - life insurance,
savings accounts, equity in

There are three main threats
20 every school bond issue,
every school tax levy placed
on the ballot in this country:
Apathy, ignorance and re-
distance to taxes.
OF course, there are many
other reasons why school bonds
and taxes are voted down.
School administrators may
get "grabby" with public
money. They may ask for
facilities that aren't really
needed. They may go over
board on luxurious frillS.
But, time after time, where
the need seems urgent and the
cause legitimate, it is apathy,
ignorance and resistance to
taxes that defeat school bond
issues at the polls, frighten
some school boards into post
poning requests for needed
funds, or asking for much less
than they really need.
Two Cities Studied
- The extent to which these
factors operate was shown in
d reporters survey in st. Louis,
Mo-, and Parma, Ohio-one a
city where bond issue was
defeated recently, the other
where it passed on a second
Try.
Most large cities have, like
Dc. Louis, school buildings
erected many years ago and
sadly antiquated. Most also
have their slums, where the
tax return is lowest but the
educational needs greatest.
Suburbs like Parma face
similar problems across the
Nation - young families with
lots Of children, but little if
any industry to ease the tax
burden on the homeowner.
Three Gases
! Let's look at some factors in
specific cases:
Apathy: Last May, 81 per
cent Of the registered voters in
St. Louis, Mo-, went to the polls
and voted mo" on two school
bond issues totaling $29.5 mil.
HON.
The mo" turnout was one
registered voter out of is, but
It was enough to defeat the
bond issues because 82.2 per
cent Of the registered voters
didn't bother to vote that day.

you just wouldn't believe how
much they're soaking u.s." But
she couldn't say whether her
property taxes were closer to
500. or $1,000.
Resistance to taxes: A man
living on a pensi6n in Parma,
Ohio, said, 81 know we need
new schools. But can't afford
to pay higher taxes. I'm being
taxed to death. If my income
went up, I'd be willing to have
my taxes raised for the schools.
