No man can successfully deny that

\V. Underwood of Alabama. in an
interview. In telling why he approv.
es tf Vice President Dawes‘ demand
for reform in Eenat procedure. he
said:
"As far as I know. practically ev-

the United States Senate. It. stands
alone.
"The question before the country.

from falling into the pathway of

that is universally called parlia-
mentary law and allowing the ma-

"With few exceptions. the rules

when the first Congress Wee organ.
land. It must be borne in mind that
at that time only eleven States had
ratified the Constitution and the
Senate consisted of twenty-six men—-
no many more than a. large board of
directors.
“It is perfectly apparent that the
mode and manner of conducting
business by twenty six men might
be vutliy different from the pro-
cedure of the nutty-six men-vibe
present manbership of the Senate.
It is also evident that where twenty-
six or thirty men could transact
business in an orderly way without
many stringent ruled ninety-six men
must have more or less strict regula-

they intend to allow the will of the
majority to rule. ’
"That bills are defeated by talk
and delay on ascount of the failure
of the senate to have an effective
closure rule cannot be denied. It
is demonstrated in every session of
Cougress. All one has to do to be
sure of what actually happens is
to look at the wrecks strewn along
the legaslative shores—wrecks of
eight or nine important measures in
which the country or a portion of
the country was interested during
the last Congress.
“We come back to the real ques-

"The Coustltutlon of the United

It has been suggested that 1 illus-
trate the investment principles laid
down in these articles by concrete
examples taken from the bond list.
not with the idea of recommending
any particular bond to any ”Mou-
lar investor but merely to make
more clear the points involved. For
this purpose 1 am taking up foreign
bonds and will begin with Canadian
issues.
There is no doubt that Canadian
obligations rank next to those of the
Unwed States in the “amnion of
the New York market. 1 am. of
provincial and municipal bonds. in
only two respects the best of these
Canadian offerins'e fall short of sim-
ilar obligations tuned in the United
States. None of the Canadian bonds
is exempt from United States in-
come tax as are our own state and
munieipal descriptions. This is a
matter of importance out to those
with large incomes and it in no way
reflects upon the security.
The other difference is that some
of our eastern states do not make
these Canadian bonds eligible for
savings banks on the same basis as
they do U. s. securities. This too is
a technical matter of no great in:-
penance except as it bears upon
the market. Making a bond legal
for savings banks improves the mar— ‘
ket for that bond to a certain do-
greo. The high rating accorded the
Canadian securities is testiued to by
the price at which they sell in‘
competition with those issued in the
United States. For Woo. Hov-
inée of Ontario long term bonds sell
to yield torn d." to 5.00 per cent
while those of short term bring even
a higher price. Similarly City of
Toronto municipal bonds are quoted
in the New York market to yield
from 4.90 to 5.05 per sent.
This fact that investors are willing
to pay such a. high price for these
Canadian bonds showa that safety
is taken for granted for no investor
buys f security which will return
him 5 per cent or less without being
entirely convinced that the invest-
ment is sound in every particular.
Market price is a guide to quality
which is the point I Want to em-
phasise in this connection.
