Gieine Qntsti of tht Exchange STATESMAN IS HOPEFUL FOR FUTURE "What It All .Mcium" li the faille l.'lion Which Mr. (irei-no Deliver mi K Inborn tc Atlilrui. Tho principal featuro of the meeting of the Heal Kstate exchange yesterday after noon with un address by Charles J. Urecn on tho subject ol "What It All Means." The guests of the club wore Senator Millard and Mr. Greene. No business was transacted. At tho conclusion of luncheon President W. 11. Green Introduced Senator Millard, who mado n brief uddrcss, referring to his cxperlenco of forty years In Omaha, and roferrlng especially to tho "boom days," when ho wns considered too conservative for sonio of the people. Ho said that at this time everything pointed to continued good times for Nebraska and for Omnha. There are, In the opinion of tho senator, tonic things In tho matter of local taxation which nc?d correcting and he believed that tho exchango should do 11 It can to make tho changes necessary. Mr. (iri'Viic'n Speech. Charles J. Grodno was then Introduced and spoko In part as follows: "1 take It that you members of tho Heal Estato exchango arc not only Interested In the present condition of the city, but are also Interested In Its future. I assume that Omaha has now reached that point In Its evolution whero Its success la assured If Its pcoplo will but keep abreast of the times. It does not do for n community to continually feel Its own pulse or look at Its own tongue, for this will develop muni cipal dyspepsia. Kvery great community Is a part of the great whole. It Is Inlluenccd by all of the economic forces which sweep around tho earth. ,So If wo aro to fully ap predate our future prospects wo must sometimes look around us to thoso greater forces which Influence enterprise. "Tha persons engaged In productive nc cupatlon In this country I speak generally and without reference to statistics may bo estimated nt 25,000,000 persons. Of theso 12,000,000 are engaged In agriculture and aro relatively Independent of tho others for no matter what the prlco of commodi ties Is, they can sow and reap and mako a living. mtliiK-nt In I In- L'ltlci. "Tho other part of the producing com munlly Is in the cities, and Is mutually dependent. The two .great divisions of tho urban population may be divided Into thoso engaged In manufacturing enterprises and thoso engaged In distribution, and the former Is tho more Important class, for If tho factory produces all Is well with tho country all other forces come Into play. "Ono of the prime necessities for gteat manufacturing enterprises Is corporations No man will risk his entire fortune In a business whero It may bo lost, and many will tako a distributive share In a corporn tlon. Tho country Is whero It Is today by reason of tho actions ot tho corporations but tho day of tho corporation ns we have known It Is passed. Times have forced Into cxlstenco larger corporations. The man who once could look over the map of n state and understand It cannot under stand tho map of tho world. Wo have risen to the work of tho future a future which means for us greater perils, greate Towards. This means greater capltallza tlon. It Is ns easy today to capitalize a corporation at $10,000,000 as It was to capl tauso at1 r,uiw,uw rorty -years ago. Outlnnli for l-'utiirr. "wnat does tins consolidation of railway properties and Industrial Institutions slg tilfy? On every hand you find people say' ing that tho country Is now prosperous but with tho next breath they ask; 'What of the future?' This same question wn asked at the time of tho formation ot th corporations forty yenrs ngo by peoplo wh could not see the trend of events. Tho most subtle Idea wo havo to contend with at this time Is the Idea of competition At 8omo tlmo and under some conditions Httrinc cn Complaint Uade by Edholm Sat far Uaj 31.

Middlemen who add nothing to the value of n product, unless they arc I absolutely necessary, are a burden to tho business world. Officers who manage In differently are a. burden which should be removed. Tho managers of largo capital reallto this. Take the consolidation ot the street railway lines of New York as an example. There were eighteen lines, with eighteen presidents, secretaries and treas urers. They were all abolished but one, and the service has been Improved In, every way, the wages of the worklngmen raised nnd the number Increased. "Tho vast amount of capital In the coun- ry must find a field for Investment. There re over $2,500,000,000 In tho savings banks f this country. l-'lKiirt-s on llnllronils.

Krom railroad reports I take Indiffer ently thirty-seven companies, Including those of the west and south, Tho averago rate of Interest earned upon their common and preferred stock at the market value Is per cent. The Ilurllngton railroad may be taken as an example. It Is capital ized at $110,000,000 and Is earning $7,900,000 n twelvu months. The quotation price Is 185.7 per share, making a total value to 11 shares of about $202,000,000, and Is yielding S.U per cent on that amount. Upon Its capital aopn tho return Is 7.2 per cent. Can It be said In theso days when cap ital Is seeking Investment at 3 per cent that tho stool: Is watered?" The speaker then npplled his text to Omaha by saying that the real estate deal ers should do all they could to Inspire con fidence in tho future of tho city and tho country nnd believe that everything Is for tho best Interests of tho people.

Tho nation holding the bonds could dlsposo of them nt its pleasure. It could affix Its own guaranty and sell tho bonds In tho open market. Tho claim for tho collection and dis tribution of Interest contains tho germ of tho guaranty of Chlneso Integrity. It Is proposed that nn Interest board of finan ciers collect periodically from China the nmount of Income which tho ministers at Pekln hnvo decided can bo extracted with out ruining tho country, this money to bo divided between tho powers In tho Mian of Interest In exnet proportion to tho bond held by them. In caso of default by China each nation will loso In proportion, nnd a speclnl covenant wilt bind each power to refrnln from Individual nctlott ngalnst China to secure tho payment of tho arrears or to slczo territory In lieu of Interest In default.
