WHO’S WHO?

HERBERT nuxnr .isot‘ini.
The recent announcomont that
Herbert ll. Asquith. cx-premicr of
Great Britain. had act-opted the hon-
or of an caridorn offered by King
George at. the suggestion of Prime
Minister Baldwin. is generally re-
garded as signalling“ tho-end of a.
great political career. The historic
title of the Earl of Oxford. famous
in the annals of the country. has
been chosen by Mr. Asquith and be-
stowed "in recognition of his great
services to the _nation."
Vested in the famous De Vere
family. the earidom of Oxford dour.
ished from 1142 to the wcath or the.
20th earl. Aubrey de Vere. in 1703.
It then become extinct. but in 1711
was revived in the person of Robert
Harley. who held high government
positions. among them that of speak-
er of the House or Commons. With
the death of the sixth earl in 1858
it again became extinct.
Mr. Asquith has declined similar
otters on former occasions. including
the bestowal of. the Order of the
Garter. and it is thought that family
influence had something to do with
his chango’of mood in this respect.
He is 73 years old. and his life reads
like fiction. .
Born offlmanufacturing. noncon-
iormlst stock. the great schools of
England were above the social or
educational ambitions of‘the family
‘and young Asquith was sent to the
City of London school. «There he
won a. scholarship to Baliol. At 01:-
ford Asquith swept the board clean
of scholastic prizes and left a mem-
cry of being a. thoroughly pleasant
man, normal in all things except in
the eweep of his mind. It was as a.
lawyer that he first acclaimed public

Book Values
15: GEO. T. HUGHES
(Copyright. iiizll
A stock salesman dropped in on
me the other day. 11o had a. beau-
iiful proposition. To clinch it. he
leaned forward confidentially and
said:
"You know. I am offering
this stock at $50 a share and
book value is 3100-"
“How do you estimate the book
value?" i asked.
"That's slim-lo." he answered.
"Just di\~ide the total net value of
the property by the number of the
shares or stock outstanding. The
result is the book value."
"Yes. but how do you get that to~
in! net value of the property? \Vho
says it is worth a. certain figure?
How d1 they determine its value?
is the property carried at its orig.
inal valuation; that. is. do they fig-
ure what the property originally
cost and then allow for depreciation
or do they value it on it basis of
what it would cost today to replace
or do they value it at what it would
bring at a forced sale?"
"There’s little or no differencc’m
the three forms of valuations. is
there?" he asked.
"Well. if you bought equipment at
prices prevailingten years ago you
would quickly find it great deal of
difference if you tried to replace it
today. So. you see. if your ‘book
value’ were figured on cost of re—
placing ilie property at today's prices
it might be 8100 a share. If it were
figured on what it cost ten years ago
it. might. be 850 a share. If figured
o no. forced sale basis‘ it might be
only “Q or 820.
"I never realized." he said. "what
a. difference the basis of valuation
madew" .
"The important point is." I inter-
rupted. "how much the properties
wlu earn. The chances are that
it the company had to liquidate; that
it. quit business and convert its pro-
perty into cash. there would be little
left to: the stockholders. Book value
is essentially a. liquidating proposi-
tion. as far as the stockholder is con-
cerned."and then it's a guess how
much it will be. As far as the mar.
.ket- .price of stock is concerned.
book value has little to do with It-
For example. United States Steel
stock sells for about one—third of its
bookevalue and the. market price or
Woolworth is nearly tour times its
book value.
enter into the problem of appraising
.li'ie worth of a. stock that book value
is otter: very misleadinSf"
