While the great corporations are so
prominently before the public there ars
one or two facts that should be rsmem-
bered. While some large stock holders
live in luxury there are hundreds of other
smaller stockholders who arc vitality in
terested In the great properties. The
statement was recently made BY a conser-
vative New York paper, the Times, that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
stock is held by $1,000 persons. The stosk
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany and its leased lines is distributed
among 13,43s owners, scattered over the
United States and Europe. The stock
holders Of the Havemeyer Sugar Trust

Haven 81 Hartford Railroad Company has

a. Santa Fe, 1900. and the Federal
Steel Company, 5000. The New York
Central systems stock is owned by more
than 15,001 persons. OF course the d.
reeting powsr Of these corporations rests
generally with comparatively few people.
But 1t should also be remembered that
the public generally own very largely in
the bonds. These bond holders are not
entirely of the wealthy. SO called coupon

savings banks the thousands of depositors
contribute their mites Co 1.-The ownership

The savings banks take their deposits
and turn about and invest them in the
bonds and other securities of the cor
porations. The public generally own
much more than is suspected In the great
enterprises that seem to belong 20 the
very wealthy. The public generally do
not manage, however. II they did it Is
probable that the enterprises would soon
cease to tempt the jealousy of anybody.
