Last summer Senator Simeon Davison Fess of Ohio, chairman of the Republican National Committee, decided that the time was ripe for him to build a new home at Yellow Springs. He had savings tucked away in three building & loan associations which would serve as a starter. He went to a banker friend and asked him for a $6,000 mortgage loan. Throwing up his hands in horror the banker declared: "Oh, Senator, we can't make any more loans at present. While we're sound, we must remain in a liquid condition." Senator Fess, disappointed, went...

...useful. Certain tax matters can be simplified, accounting made clearer, securities grouped under one corporate ownership which makes their distribution easy when desired. Publishing represents by no means all of the vast Hearst fortune. There is much valuable Hearst real estate in New York, California and Mexico. The San Simeon ranch near Los Angeles containing more than 400 square miles has been assessed at $1,323,000 for taxation, but this figure is dwarfed by the value of the art treasures Mr. Hearst has piled upon the land. Mr. Hearst is sole owner of over 100 corporations...
