In a battle royal with the great aombt
rationa of capital Congressman Allan L.
McDermott of New Jersey has taken the
first substantial stand In the national leg
islature to place the vast corporations of
the country under the direct supervision
of the federal government. This Is buVthe
beginning of a fight that may reach Into
every state In the union ahould the con
gressman be the victor. But the partic
ular atata that la must affected by the
me&aure now pending la New Jersey, the
ao-called "home of the trusts." This war
fare that McDermott has begun agalnat
ona of the recognised Industries of his
own state la all the mora aooentuated by
the faot that ba was tha Brat president of
the Corporation Trust company of New
Jersey, aa organisation which houses and
fosters N per cant of the huge financial
combinations of the United Statea and
which. It has bean charged la court, fur
bishes "dummy" boards of boy directors
at a moment's notice la any number that
may be desired.
McDermott'a war on tfce "home of the
trusts," however, la not the only hoi tile
demonstration that has been begun against
this far-reaohlng Institution, in the atata
legislature at Albany a aeries of bills have
been Introduced that are causing the offi
cers, and the bankers of the great New
Jersey corporations aa andlesa amount of
worry.
Ail of tho measures ara a menace to the
trust Industry of New Jersey. Senator
Green's bill la friendly to those trusts that
make New Jeraey their home; Brackett'a
and Burke'a bills aim more especially at
the Corporation Trust company of New
Jersey. Representative McDermott'a reso
lution Is the most radical atl-trust meas
ure ever Introduced la congress. It not
only threatens to destroy one of the moat
' profitable Industries of New Jersey, but
It also seems to place these corporations
under the direct control of the govern
ment. Hearklaa for a Oaa Tklmac.
Like the building of Rome, It took mora
than a day to make New Jeraey tba ban
aer Incorporation atata. The good people
or that commonwealth began figuring on
the problem long before Utt, when a law
waa passed bringing the thing about. It
waa so contrived that since that year the
cltlxena of that atata have paid no atata
taiea. The assessment of the corporations
s one-ienia or i per cent on ail amounts
of Usuea capital stock up to $3.0(O.OU: one-
.cuiinn cu l per cm up to a,uuo.uw, ana
$S0 a million after that. In addition to the
tas there la a filing fee at the time of In
corporation amounting to k cents for each
$l.UiO of the total capital stock authorised.
but In no case la less than $:$ taken. Thus,
when J. Plerpont Morgan Incorporated the
100,000,000, ha handed over to tha . mtmt
treasurer of New Jersey a check' foe nnn
Tha next largest fee waa $80,000, paid by
"rinern oecuntiea company on a cap
italisation of $400,000,000. While these bis-
corporations ara the largest, there are
tnouaanda of ethere that have filed certifi
cates ef Incorporation at tho secretary of
state'a' office 'In Trenton. The big year waa
In 1901,. when 2,347 corporations began their
existence In the atate of New Jersey. Be
fore them, however, the atate did, and has
alnca done, a very comfortable business.
I ne annual report of tha state treasurer
of New Jeraey for the fiscal year ending
October &, 190!. ahowe. that $568 237.85 In
reea ware collected from new corporations.
In -lis 1.989 certificates of Incorporation
were filed.
This sum, however, did, not Include the
atata tazea collected from the miscellaneous
corporations which that year amounted to
$1,W3.M6 b7, making tha total receipts from
the corporations for 1902 $2,532,448 2. When
It Is considered that tha total receipta of
tha state that year amounted to $4,317 846.08,
of which amount tha corporations paid
mora than half. It muat ba admitted that
New Jersey la not ao alow.
Magaltade of tho Dnslaesa. .
Tha magnitude of tha business that haa

tha last eighteen years, and tha remarka

TJnte all railroad engineer tha red petti
coat la a sacred thing. Upon aoeraa of oc
casions red pettlcoata have been tha means
of aavlng trains from being wrecked. In
variably the woman who dl covers a wash
out or a collapsed bridge or an obstruction
on the track wears a red petticoat. There
may ba a psychological explanation of this
remarkable fact, but whether there la or
not, tha brave woman always manages dur
ing the one minute and twenty-seven sec
onds that must elapse before the arrival
of .the lightning express to get her red
petticoat off and wave It frantically, thus
warning tha engineer and enabling him to
$14.785.575,350 ! st0p tha train on tha vary brink of de
struction.
To all railroad men red la a sign af dan
ger. Perhaps this la because what might
have been tha first railroad disaster was
prevented by the waving of a red petti
coat. Now It la unfortunate that red pettl
coata have been caualng trouble for rail
road men at Wilmington, Del. Italian 1
women have been In the habit of picking
up coal along tha treeke la that city, and
because the March winda toyed with their
skirts. It haa frequently happened that en
glneera on thrpugh express trains, seeing
what they supposed to be danger signals,
have thrown on their brakes, thereby
Dinging passengers Into Ignominious heape
and caualng wild panics In tha cars.
Tha reault haa been an order strictly
prohibiting women who wear red pettl
coata from picking coal along the tracks
of tha Pennsylvania railroad. This order
will undoubtedly work many hardships,
but there aeema to be no help for tha Ital
ian ladlea of Wilmington. Tba red pettl
coata standing as a danger signal muat not

Publlo opinion In general In Ita Ideas of
tha average income of tho minister, tha
lawyer, tha teacher and thoae of similar
callings la all wrong, or nearly so. Con
trary to popular belief, tha average me
chanic or akiliad workman In many cases
is better paid than a considerable propor
tion of professional man. While much
mystery surrounds tha In cornea of tha lead
ing professions, still It la possible to ob
tain actual figures which may he accepted
as authoritative.
Although It la true that In every profea
slen a few names will occur at once which
are associated with enormous salaiiee or
fees. It la beyond question that the great
majority of professional men, even after
years of eostly and careful preparation,
are wretchedly underpaid. In gathering
statistics In reference to this recompense,
tha incompetenta have been passed by and
only these who have been practicing for
years and who may be aald to have estab
lished reputations and practices In their
communities have been taken Into consid
eration. Few Doctors Aecesoelate Wealth.
The rewards of the medical profession
probably vary to a greater degree than
do those of any other, but tha average
physician In tha larger cltlea la commonly
auppoaed to be moderately wealthy, while
few of them ara actually poor. Tet, aa a
matter of fact, they rarely have much prop
erty at tha time of their death, and a con
siderable portion are actually buried at
tha expense of their friends. Stories of
enormoua feea paid by wealthy patients
are, of course, familiar, for taken a
class, the American milllonalree are tha
most liberal patients In the world with
their physicians. All tha doctors In tho
United States who earn professionally mora
than $100,000 annually could probably be
counted on tha fingers, however, and It la
likewise probabe that net mora than tha
digit a of one hand would ba necessary to
enumerate thoae In Chicago who earn more
than $50,000 per year. Perhaps a score take
In one-half tho latter amount and upwarda
of ona hundred enjoy Incomes of more than
$10,000.
Theae figure, however, refer to men who
are obvloualy at tha bead of their profea-
alon. Tha average Income of a Chicago
physician la far under these figures. Ft era
atatlatlca gathered recently, after oonsld
arable correspondence, a prominsnt phy-
alolan gives It as his opinion that the aver
age Income la not la exoaoa of $2,080 a year.
There are many, of course, who collect
much leaa, so that tha figure la. If anything,
a liberal average
Clever Aide by Pereetaltea.
Clergymen ara even less liberally re
membered In tba matter of monetary com
pensations than ara tha physicians. It la
wwe difficult, too, to strike aa average.
since the men of the cloth ara so often the
recipients of feea and presents of various
klnda that tha salaries paid do not repre
sent their exact Incomes. Tha clergyman,
of course, usually receives his house rent
in addition to his regular salary, if ha
doea not occupy a regular parsonage, and,
again, fees from grateful bridegroom a and
other aourcea may constitute a considerable
source of Income. These latter ara ao vari
able, however, that they may he disre
garded In tha estimate of tha Incomes in
the ministry.
With ona notable exception where a sal
ary of $25,000 a year Is paid, and tha fees
from an ultra fashionable congregation ara
aald to be aa much mora, tha highest aal
artea paid In city churches rarely exceed
$10,000. But this Is no criterion, for on
tha other hand tha minimum salary regu
larly paid for a country appointment Is
but $300 a year. Usually, however, the
clergyman on such an assignment re
cetves more than this, alnca he often covers
two of thesa appointments with a com
bined salary of $500 a year. The avers go In
come of the country clergyman may be
safely placed at $600 a year, with the addi
tion, of course, of his house rent, probably

course, that this Is tha lowest rate. There
are many bricklayers who receive aa high

Tba average Income of bricklayers, there
