“A DEPRESSION-PROOF NATION” ~
In a recent address Henry Ives, Special Counsel . of the
Association of Casulty and Surety Executives, developed the
interesting thought that insurance is one of the best antidotes
for depression.
He pointed out that insurance, of all kinds, has maintained
its stability and solvency better than most governments or
priv: i: enterprises, in the face of depression. It has paid all
lezitimate claims promptly. Failures have been negligible
when other businesses were going under at a terrifying rate.
It has distributed billions of dollars, and saved an army of
“people from financial disaster. Its value has been unchanged
by chaotic stock-market and industrial conditions.
>
'm 1931, all classes of insurance carriers paid to claimants
the cicantic sum of $3,731,620,696—about as much as Congress has provided this. year in this ge-cral relief appropriations and for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. This
insurance money, in addition, was not dragged out of unwill
ing pockets by taxation. Every dollar of it represented voluntary contributions—it was emblematic of the characteristics of
thrift and foresight. And, according to Mr. Ives, practically
ail the money paid went to relieve distress of some sort. As he
points out, if the insurance distribution had been three times
as great we, as a nation, would have been three times better
off.
One of Mr. Ives’ sentences would bear memorizing—"“An
adequately insured nation would be an almost depressionproof nation.’’ Every insurance policy purchased, whether for
fire, life, casualty or what not, builds for America’s future. It
means a stabler, more prosperous, more progressive people.
At this time insurance _ sales are holding to extremely high
levels, in relation to the change in our purchasing power—and
that fact alone is good reason for our having faith in America
during the years to come.
VITAL TO THE WEST
Mining is vital in the west.
In normal times, the mining industry is the foremost employer, purchaser of supplies and contributer to the cost of
government in a number of states. Its prosperity is related to
that of every other business—the banker, manufacturer,
farmer, store-keeper, all look to mines for a large share of their
livelihood. In the pioneer days the lure of precious metals was
principally responsible for the development of the west—in
these days mining is necessary to the west’s future developmnet.
The mines will come back. Their problems are gradually
being solved. And in the meantime, it behooves every western
state to do all itcanto encourage the mining industry, and
make its struggle for existence easier, by providing constructive regulation and taxation measure.
IS WATER FREE
Some time ago the manager of a western city made an
effort to reduce taxes by cancelling some $200,000 in standby charges for fire protection paid by the city to the local
municipal water district. His’ main argument for this was that
the rates should be reduced because the water didn’t cost anything. S at
Answering this contention a prominent taxpayer pointed
give people a dam costing millions of dollars nor the miles of
aqueduct necessary to transport the ‘‘costless’” water to and
from that dam; nor the tunnels, nor the reservoirs, nor t he
street-pipes from which the ‘‘costless’” water runs into the
houses. These things must be paid by the taxpayers who are
also liable to provide bond interest and sinking fund.
‘This’ illustrates one of the farcial phases of municipal
ownership—a political system which has enabled many municipai power, light and water ventures to show a “book” profit
until all of a sudden they require money for imperative needs,
aia tue taxpayers found the treasury empty. In practically
e ., service industry, it is the cost of bringing the service to
tle ccstomer that counts—not the cost of producing the
service at the reservoir or plant. To suggest the cancelling of
necessary charges because “water is free’, is equivalent.to
suggesting that food, lumber and minerals should not cost’
anything because nature péovided them in the beginning. .

out that while the water itself was free the good Lord didn't . .
Two brothers were born and raised on a gold mine not far from
of our readers would
know them if their right’ names were
used. We have been requested, however, to hide their real identity, so,
for our purpose here, we shall call
the oldest brother Elwood, while the
youngest shall be known as Kenflwood was, the apple of the old
studies and lalways a® leader ‘in
school. activities. A boy with more
ambition would be hard to find.
And so, upon hig graduation from
the loc2l] high school, it was only
natural for the old folk to dig down
into their small savings and send
Elwood to the university.
As for Kenney, well Kenny was #
good boy, but he. just didn’t have
the ‘get up and go” to him that Elwood had. He would just as soon
stay home and work on his dad’s
mine as to go to school. And that is
just what he did. After his second
year in-high school, he didn’t go any
more. His dad needed a good mucker, so Kenny stayed home and
mucked.
But not such an ignomous career
for Elwood. Our hero was too smart
to waste his life away digging rock
in an old quartz mine. A brilliant
college career—that is what Elwood
had.: A remarkable student, a star
on the gridiron and the toast of the
sororities, Elwood steamed through
college. with colors flying.
Upon graduating, he was offered
an attractive position as saleman
for one of the leading stock and
bond houses in San Francisco. As
Elwood’s collegé life was, so was
his business career. Like a rocket,
he careened through th ebusiness
world in the big city. His name was
a by-word on the lipg of big busfness
men, and his advice in buying and
selling stocks was sought for.
Not only was Elwood’s business
knowledge helpful to his clients, but
it stood his personal investments in
good stead. After several years of
stock market manipulation, Elwood’s paper wealth was enormous.
It was uncanny the way he could
buy low and sell high.
"What a change was this from the
life he might ,have led on the old
mine in Nevada county. Elwood
smiled in a self-satisfied manner
when he thought of it. But he did
not often think of it—he had other
far more important things to worry
about.
Then came the crash. The sinking
of the great financial paper ship. It
took Elwood almost a year to find
opt that he was broke—absolutely
And by .that time his
company had let him go. There was
no need to keep a high pressure
salesman ata huge salary when
there was no trading on the stock
market. What a come-down! From
wealth to poverty almost over night.
Elwood wasn’t licked yet. He got
a job selling brushes from house to
house. It was hard work, but it paid
hig room rent even if it didn’t leave
much left over for food. Then his
clothes began to wear out. And
when-he bought a second-hand suit,
he had to go hangry for a few days
to make up for it.
Elwood hated to admit it, but the
hungrier he got, the more he
thought of his old home at the mine
in Nevada county. The going got
tougher and tougher, until finally

Elwood made up his mind to take
a visit back home anyway.
And what a change at the old
mine! The small ledge that Kenny
and his dad were following had
widened out. Enough ore had been
blocked out to last several years. A
new mill had been put up and seventeen men were working under
Kenny who was now mine superintendent. Kenny was still the same
easygoing, uneducated plodder. Still,
you had to hold it to him, he had
learned about gold mining even
though he didn’t know that Shell
Union preferred had dropped two
points in the last week.
As we go to press, Kenny is still
mine superintendent, while Elwood
is holding down a job on the same
mine as a mucker.
