the laws, dismissed the existing conditions
of oorporatlons and pointed out changes
that could be made by congress In the
financial system of the oountry.
Views Corporations.
Soma of Mr. Perkins' observations follow:
"That great corporation, grown up under
demands of existing conditions, can no
longer successfully exist under the Sher
man anti-trust law as now rigidly enforced.
"That the government's dissolution of ths
Standard Oil company served as the waving
of a 'red flag of warning to every cor
poration in the United States.
"That something of a constructive nature
must be don by the government with
referenos to the control of corporation
and rather than for present conditions to
continue. It would be better to go to tha
limit of permitting government regulation
of price.
"That ths very reason subsidiary com
panies of a great corporation can violate
the law without knowledge of the officer
of the holding company la tha law which
prevent such corporation from operating
and ruling the subsidiary concerns Instead
of merely advising them.
"That one great stride toward averting
financial panic In New Tork could be
made If the government would prevent
bank In Chicago and the middle west
loaning money on call In New Tork during
the summer at cheap rates and suddenly
calling It back In the fall for the crop
movement, making high money and trouble
in the New Tork market.
"That the establishment of a government
bureau which could give accurate informa
tion to the public as to the condition of
corporations would be an active Induce
ment to tha people to make wise invest
ments. "That one of the most striking develop,
ments of the present system of conducting
business on a large scale la the dividing
of great Interests in the hands of many In
vestors, rather than concentrating them in
the bands of a few."
Mr. Perkins made the foregoing observa
tions during the third day of his examina
tion by the steel committee Inquisitor and
at times was eloquent and forceful la his
declarations. He frequently emphasized his
remarks by waving his arms, pounding
upon the witness table with his fists, and
arising from his seat to address the com
mittee. When the committee adjourned
late today it had not concluded with Mr.
Perkins and again tomorrow be will take
the stand. He has been held longer by the
committee than any witness since the hear
ing began last May.
Mr. Perkins made other interesting state
ments. He said there was too much alarm
over the cry of an ore monopoly tn the
oountry and that valuable ores constantly
were being discovered and ores now un
available were being studied and soon
would be available.

Make a Statement of Douglaa
County Finances Use of
the Money.
Calling ths mention of ths Douglas
county voters to the special election of
Tuesdsy next, the board of county com
missioners has made a statement of tha
reasons why it is asking for a 1260.000
court house bond issue, and ths use to be
mad of the money: gives tha financial
condition of the county, and appeal to
the voter to authorise the bond at this
time.
This is the statement mad by tha
board.
To th voter of Douglas county: On
Tuesday next there will be submitted to
you at a special election a proposition to
vote 1:00.000 bonds to moke possible ths
furnishing of the new Jail for Its Intended
use. The money to be derived from ths
sale of these bonds Is to be used exclu
sively for the ourchase of furniture. Jail
cells snd supplies, gas and electric light
fixtures, approaches to the buildings and
suitable interior decorations.
Three year go $l,00b.0no bonds were
voted to be used exclusively for tha
building of a new court house. It waa
not at the time contemplated that any
funds of. this amount should be used for
furnishing the building or equipment of
ths Jail, as it was expected that it would
take aU of this amount to erect and com
plete the structure Now this board la
prepared to turn over to the taxpayers
th finest public building between Chi
cago and Ban Francisco, built for less
money than the people voted for the pur
pose. Therefore it is not intended, nor la
It necessary, -that any of the proceeds of
th 1.100,000 bond issue will be used la
the completln of the structure Itself.
Ths first estimate given to this board
as the probable cost of furniture, fixture
and Jail equipment was 1265,000, which,
was considered reasonable, and which
would be met by a 1250, 000 bond iasua
and the using of the 115,000 surplus on
hand. By closs figuring, however, and
finding thst 120,000 surplus will bs avail
able, ws find that ws can keep the cost
down to 1230,000, thus necessitating a
bond issue of but f 200.000, and make pos
sible the furnishing and equipment of
ths new building in a manner in keeping
with the size and dignity of th structure.
We believe that a statement of tha
Douglas county finances at this tima
should bs given you for your considera
tion. Ths county now has 11,975,000
bonds outstanding. Including ths 11,000,
000 court house bunds of three years ago.
Of thi amount. $158,000 was retired on
July 1 of this year, before the proposed
new bond issue. If voted, will be avail
able for use: and arrangements havs been
completed for the retirement of 1150.000
more of old Donds on July 1, 1912. Tha
11,000,000 court house bonds Issued three
years ago will begin retiring themselves
axter seven years more through a special
inking fund at the rate of 150.000 per
year. It 1 proposed that the coming
1200,000 bond Issue shall automatically
provide for its own retirement at tha
rat of 120,000 a year, after ten year.
Th property valuation of Douglas county
hlch is behind these bond issues, is
1118.414. 270.
With this statement of facts and con
ditions, we appeal to you as voters with
the best interests of Douglas county- at
heart to suthorize. at the coming x pec la!
election, the Issuance of 1200,000 addi
tional bonds, that the proper fumlahinar
of the court house and equipment of the
Jail may proceed uninterruptedly after
the completion of the building, that w
may utilize our new building for the sals
and convenient transaction of our grow
ing official ouslnoaa. saving high rentals,
$4,500 yearly, now being paid for outside
court rooms nd offices; snd for th
safe and human car of the prisoners
with whose keeping ths county is charged.
