" FTHE'ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE - ~“The road to' financial independence,” says ~R_odger W. Babson, the well known stastician and economist, in Forbes Maga- zine, f‘]lgs open for anyone who wil save systemthcaly and invest_intelligently. Not before.in my life time have I been able to speak” with such absolute asirance:of thee long -pull outlook for investments, Not again in your life time will you find a point quite so favorable at which to start to ac- _culmu’lat.e for future years. . Because of our position today in reference to the ma- jor bond cycle, conditions are working to enhance the value of whatever you put aside. - “As a definite sugestion let us take the man or woman of thirty who can put aside say, $50 a month or $600 a year, with the idea of building up an estate that will take care of them in their declining years. As- sume that they buy sound, conservative bonds on a 5 per cent average yield; they will reach 50 with a sizeable estate and a very comfortable income. If the interest or dividends is added to the principal dur- ing these twenty years, total will amount . ta.over $20,000. As a matter of fact, it is perfectly possible, with the benefit of a study of fundamental conditions to get an average return of 6 per.cent on such a fund., We, however, will figure on a 5 per cent basis. d * Because of the present. reconstructive phase of ‘the bond market, the apprecia- “ion in principal, due to falling interest ‘pates during the next twenty years, is pra- ctically certain. This factor of apprecia- tion has already reached twenty per cent on sums invested less that two years ago. To be conservative, the benefit to the bond ‘owner spread over the next-twenty years ‘will average at least 1 per cent.a year in- crease in principal. You will have; there- #or, approximately $25,000 in your invest- ment fund at the age of fifty, paying you: a’little over $100 a month income. <“If you have other outside income at this’ time and can afford to let this investment fund lay for ten years more without adding any additional savings to it, you wil arrive at sixty with an estate of between $40,000 and $50,000 and amonthly income of around $200.” —t TICKET OFFICE RECEIPTS Federal tax collections for the year end- Times, indicate that the people of the Unit- ed States had less money than the year be- fore to spend on amusements or else less inclination to spend what they had that way. Whether the one theory or the other is correct, the taxes from this source fell off more than $16,000,000. ‘As summarized patch to the New York Herald, it appears that in the year under consideration the ten per cent tax on admission fees brought to the government $73,373,937.47, as com- pared with $89,730, 328.94, year previous The reduction, 895.47 ‘which becomes the basis for the in'a Washington dis-* therefore, was . $16,356,- | statement that the public spent $160,000,- : 000 ‘less for amusements last year than the year before. Now, assuming that the taxable amuse- ments were made available to 100,000,000 people, which is probably to large, the de- crease was $1.63 for every man, woman . and child,.. The figures also show, however that every one of the 100,000,000 spent $7.33 in paying for admission. to shows of one sort or another, and that the expendi- ture for the whole nation was almost-three quarters of a billion dollars. 5 That is a lot, especially as everybody is grumbling about hard times and wondering in sincerity or pretense, what the world is coming to. .'Of course, as many of the 100, 000,000 people didn't and couldn’t: spend $7.33 for amusements in the year the others must have spent much more. " GOOD OLD TIMES “«If we are looking for the “good old times,” when smalf wages and a full din- ner pail were all the go, it is quite evident that-we are still a long way off, when a queen bee sells for $300 and a single straw- perry plant for $50,000. The “good new times are right a head of us, but with a few changes. It will be fair wages and - a dinner pail of plenty, with enough of the “green skum” left over to provide for-the pleasuresof life for ones’ self and family. - ¥ RV § ? Arthur Brisbane tells of a life-long croo .who spent most of his days in jail; and, finding stealing too risky and old age com- “ing ‘on apace, he requested the judge to sentence him for life, where 2 warm bed, food, medicine, clothes and all will be free. He then strikingly asks: “What will his- tory-say about a civilization that would take care of an old, worn-out man whose trade was stealing, and wouldn’t take care . of him if he had spent his life working for the public welfare?”—Exchange. g—F 2 The “wets” in Congress are considering the formation of a “wet” bloc to fight first for a modification of the Volstead Actsand finally the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- ment. - A “wet” bloc!
