WASHINGTON NOTES
Over-Capitalization of Our Indust?.
An Issue a Big at the
Tariff.
BY CLYDE M. TAVENNER
Member of Congress.
(Special to The Herald.)
Washington, April 8th One hun
dred dollars annually! Thas 1b the
amount of crime of overcapitaUza
hion, or watered stock, coats every
American family!
This statement flows easily from
(he pen but it can bet be ileroon
n( rated by a Mttle arithmetic.
Various prominent financial stu
dents are responsible Tor the state
ment, and their conclusions are
wholly sustained by reports of the
United States Commission and the
published figures of the National
Corporation Tax Returns, that about
$;0,000,000.000 of the stock of our
industrial or tariff trusts, represent
only water.
On this stork, dividends of about
11,500,000,000 are being paid year
ly, amounting to approximately $18
a person or nearly $100 an Ameri
can family!
This $1,500,000,000 is not picked up
out of the streets. Where, then, does
it come from? The answer Is; from
(he pockets of the consumers. There
is not a dollar of "water" or infla
tion in the capitalization of corpora
tions, which deal in commodities, or
in railroad or other public service
corporations, that does not impose
burdens upon the consumers and pro
ducers of this cuonitry.
IMie above figures, which may be
accepted as fairly conservative in v,r
of the fact that I'nited Srtates Sen
ator laKoliette and various o(her stu
dents of the question assert (hat
the amount of watered stock is more
than double the amount estlmat. I
above, mean this: That an average
family in this country is paying a
(ax of $100 a year In supporting
the overcapitalization of our Indus
tries. Can there remain any doubt,
(hen, as to over-capitalization being
one reason, a sister reason to high
(ariff, for the ever increasing cost
of living?
Watf red StOCO is not only one of
the prme causes for increased prices
of colnmodi.ies, but i; is also an
Impowant cause of the present un
;. !.!( tov.v condition of labor. To
pay these dividends on watered stock
(he trust magnates must either hold
down wages abnormally low, or
raise prices artificially high. The
far'. Is, they are doing both.
Overcapitalization, therefore, is ob
viously one of the most important
problems confronting the American
people today. Polii leians, for some
reason, refer to it less t'.ian they
should. The subject ought to be
one of the foremost political Issue
Five hundred glaring illustrations
of the crime of over-capitalization
could be cited. They would average
like th - The Chicago & Alton was
capitalized at $JO,000,000. When it
was turned nvtr to. the pur-Inning
syndicate in 1899 it was capitalized
at $94,000,000.
The people are not going to for
ever permit the Perkins' and the
Morgan's and other financiers to
etrap upon their backs the burdens
of these enormous over-capitali.a
tions, which constitute one of tike
principal causes of the increase in
(lie cost of living.
SOME FINE ALLIANCE ADS.
A rece nt issue of the Alliance, Neb.
Herald had .IL' pages and the title
page announced an industrial num
ber. We always like to see an "indus
trial number" of a country news
paper, for it proves the town Indus
trious and full of live business men.
In this instance the business men
came to the support of the paper In
good shape and they had a worthy
issue to patronize. The paper Is full
of cuts and good write-ups of the
town and its industries -and ads.
There are too many good ads in
that issue to give special mention to
any one, except that we notice some
of the grocerymen are speaking right
out and offering some prices that
prove them not responsible for the
high cost or living.
It was an ad in the Alliance paper
that we mentioned a short time ago
as being for an Omaha department
store. The paper explains that while
it was for an Omaha store it was for
heir Alliance branch, and was
really for a home merchant. From
this issue or the Herald it is appar
ent that the newspaper men there do
not have io go outside of their own
town for .support. Omaha Trade Kx-hlbit.
from one who is quite widely versed
in newspaper work. Atty Hroome
Is a very pleasant gentleman to meet
and, we might add, to do business
with, as we have transacted a good
bit of business with him in the past
fire years

kosh Monday and Tuesday before V.

On March 29, 19i;, there was one
of the nicest affairs toned to a
queen's taste, that has occurred in
the sand hills for a long time. It
was the dance given at J. A. Sandoz
school house, and the elite of the
country was there to enjoy them
selves, and the way that they got
busy was not slow. They danced
everything that could be thought of.
Now just think of the many differ
ent dances that (he Americans can
dance and you have It. Here is a list
of those in attendance:
Hesley Courley and wife, Surrey;

credit, both to themselves, and the
country surrounding them.
There will be a dance at the D.
M. Gourly ranch April 12th, and I
want to say riht here that every
one who comet to this one will be
royally entertained, for they know
just how the thing is clone. Every

USEFUL LIFE SNUFFED OUT.
The Sheridan Daily Enterprise of
April Brd has the following to say
editorially of Walter Taylor, who
was killed in the wreck and was
well known in Alliance:
And it is hard, too, when one
thinks of the life of the Sheridan
man, whieh was snuffed out so quick
ly, and at a time when he was on
the uphill of his usefulness td so
ciety. Welter Taylor, who was kil
led in the disaster, is spoken of very
highly by his friends and associates.
His business career was straightfor
ward and progressive, and his clos
er friends have nothing but admira
tion for the perfect home life which
he is said to have lived. The whole
city sorrows in his sudden and cruel
taking away, and sympathy goes out
to his wife and the fatherless
little girl.

One of the last ofMcial act of
President Taft was 'the signing of
a proclamation elimina ing 41,150
acre-c from the Kansas National For
est, Kansas.
The tract eliminated is in the ex
treme western section of :he For
est, and includes all that part Which
lies weat of the Fifth Guide Merid
ian. It is principally a sandhill conn
try and while it could be reforest
ed, there Is such a large portion
of alienated or privately owned land
within the Forest boundaries that
the Government's reforestation work
would have to be confined to more
or less iiolarted areas. Since the area
is valuable for grazing its restora
tion to the public was deemed ad
visable. At the same time that the laud
was eliminated from the Forest it
was withdrawn from entry, under
the authority which Congress has
given the President to withdraw land
from all forms of entry except as
to mineral claims for the develop
ment of metaliferous ores.
The land will be restored to set
tlement and entry after such adver
tisement in the local papers as the
Secretary of the Interior may con
sider necessary.
The Forest Servhve is successful
ly reforesting a considerable area
in the sand hills of Nebraska and
Kansas, where the soil is so loose
in texture that it blow away as soon
as it Is cultivated. Therefore, ac
cording to the government's forest
ers, the problem has been to grow
trees In competition with the na
tive grasses, both making rival de
mands on the small amount of mois
ture. If the grass cover is remov
ed the soil blows out completely and
exposes the roots of the trees. The
success already attained indicates
in the Judgment of the Government
roresters that a large part of the
sandhill country will become timber
producing.
Explains Itself

itself:
The Alliance Herald.
Alliance, Neb.
Gentlemen:
Regarding the proposed plan to
organise a Company for the pur
pose of loaning money to Krfnkald
homesteaders to buy milk cows with,
will say that unfortunately, at the
time this matter was being consid
ered one of the worst storms we
have had for years In Nebraska was
iai progress and so many reports of
stock losses have been made th.i.t It
appears to be Impossible at this time
to properly finance the proposed
Company.
Therefore, It will be necessary to
wait for a time before proceeding
further.
Yours Truly,
D. Clem Deaver.
