Curbing Holding Companies
THE federal government is at last on the trail of holding
companies. In the utility field in particular they have
proven to be leeches. The prime difficulty was that the big
profits lay in the financing of concerns. Companies fell into
the hands of brokerage houses or private bankers or into the
hands of individuals who wanted to make money , not out of
operations but out of selling bonds and stocks to the public.
Enormous emissions of securities were made during the boom
days. Even in normal times such vast issues of stocks and
v bonds could not be supported by interest and dividends; and
when hard times came many of the structures toppled in a
heap.' Among them were the InsuU and Peirce and Ohrstrom
holding companies. Others anticipated a continuation of the
upward gradient in the electric business. With the depression
the line leveled off; and with growing pressure from con
sumers rates were reduced and then companies got into dif
ficulties. , Considerable complaint is made against holding com
panies for what they have sucked out in management fees.
But more lucrative sources of profit lay in clipping the great
bond and stock issues which were sold the public. This is a
phase of "finance capitalism" that is coming in for severe
condemnation these days.
New proposals are for a federal license fop holding com
panies; forbidding pyramiding of holding companies, one on
top of others ; restriction of field ; preventing excess manage
ment fees. Oregon has gone a long ways in stopping these
evils, almost entirely through exercise of control over the
operating companies. State authority does not reach directly
to holding companies chartered in other states. The federal
government does have the power; and should exercise it.
In principle there is much to commend a holding com
pany. It is able to supply services which the small unit con
cern could not afford independently; and should be able to
handle sound financing, on a better basis. In actual practice
however the holding company became another business rack
et. Federal action now though belated ought to prevent future
exploitation of consumers and investors, a practice all too
common among holding company manipulators.
Another Dock Strike?
RUMBLINGS on the waterfront are given as presage of a
new dock strike. Interior agricultural and fruit interests
whose produce is moving across the docks into world trade
now, are alarmed over the possibilities, and are putting the
proposition up to Portland cold whether Portland is going to
permit the port to be closed again, to the resulting great lqss
of woo! and wheat and fruit growers.
It is very doubtful if there will be any strike. The em
ployers certainly do not want one. They lost heavily in cur
tailment of business and in outlays to combat the striken.
The longshore men are probably loath to bej out of jobs for
another indefinite stretch. More than that, the federal gov
ernment is apt to clap down a heavy hand if strikes are really
threatened. The administration missed a step last summer
when it let the strikes on this coast get out of hand.
The instability of the presentsituation lies in the friction
between union and non-union workers. The union crews are
determined to control the hiring and refuse to cooperate with
non-union crews. They have made life miserable for the non
union workers. Joint control of the hiring halls is hard when
the rival factions are so embittered. So even if there is no
strike in the immediate future, operations will be attended
with discord and strife until one side or the other wins or
until the passions aroused last summer cool.

v
Mr. Waiting's tribute to 'the
missionaries and other pioneers Is
not overdrawn. But a few facts
should be told here to straighten
out the record. Tor instance: The
house of George Gay was the first
brick residence erected west ot
the Rockies above the Mexican
(California) line. But it waa built
in 1843, net in the thirties. A lot
of Important history was made In
and around that old house, still
standing.
David Leslie did not build a
log house there, or near there. At
least there Is no record of such a
house. The house that was assign
ed to the Leslie family, shortly
after their arrival In September,
1817, was one bought from, a set
tler by Jason Lee, and it accom
modated both that family and
Rev. H. K. W. Perkins and bride,
until the latter went to Wasco
nam (The Dalles) the following
year. That house burned, with the
household goods of the Leslies.
December 19, 1838. The Leslies
lived for a time thereafter in the
James H. O'Neal house, on the
west side of the Willamette, near
where the Clyde LaFollett place
is now, and they resided also in
other mission houses. Including
the hospital, which was finlnl
in 1840-41. Later, the Leslie fam
ily lived In "the parsonage," still
standing, at 1328 Ferry street,

Two daughters of the T.mKm
Helen and Aurelia, were born at
the old mission, and the first Mrs.
Leslie died there, Feb. 1, 1841.

see that she was noticing it

They drove south on Peninsula
to Silver Beach avenue, past the
river estates which had a brooding,
unearthly beauty in the moonlight,
a quality suggesting a Dore picture.
At Silver Beach, they turned east
and drove the few blocks to the
approach where the two-lane,
avenue ended at the ocean.
"Shall we go down by way of the
beach?" Spike asked, "I came up
that way and it was sweD."
"Pm afraid not." Kay said. "The
tide's coming in and you'd be stuck
down there without a way to get
back If yon parked behind Ida's.
Better take Atlantic avenue."
He turned sooth again and they

easternmost street of Daytona

road which ran past the lower beach
