4 MIGHTY POWER.

Very few of our readers. pnSsihv
mighty power is gained by the centra'-
ization Of capital in the formation Of
trusts or combines. AS an illustration
of the wonderful power of one of them,
we clip the following from the New
York World regarding the Standard Gil
Company, besides which many others
sink into insgniicance. 1t is powerful
enough to dominate the industrial, COM
mercial and financial field of the nation.
1t is to be- hoped that the next President
will not be the tool of such concerns:
'Tha Standard Oil Company has pail
S3o, 100000 in dividends thus far lhi,
year and will have paid by the end of
the year SIS, 900, ,O00-4S per cent. upon
its capital sto * and three or four tim,
~ per cent. upon the actu ii invasGmalt
The sum is S2,000,0O) greater thln
the dividends OF all the national banks
in the Country. 1t is $1,000. 900 moe
than the Governments annual dlsburse-
meht for interest Oh the entire national
debt. 1t represents 81 per cent. divi-
dend upon capital of Sl.31l ,O1O, 600
sum greater than the value of a'l tn.
gold ana silver, coine,l and uncoine |,
publicly and privately held in the whole
United States.
And this is only Il part of the power of
the little group Of Standard Oh mag
mates. There are their ten great banks
and trust companies, with annual d.
posltS OF Si32 O00, 900 and annual loans

THAT SALARY QUESTION.

We notice in our Jonesville CORE spond-
elce this week that the Assistant At
torney General has rendered decision
to the effect that the Supervisor Of Unicn
county's salary is cut by the act of the
rtc mt Legislature frons 5000 to $3.50 the
same salary as the two commissioners.
We hive read the act as printed very
carefully and cannot see how this de-
csion is arrived ut. We quote from the
Ac; app owed 10th day of February,
1900, eliminating WHIT Dies not bsir
upon the office in Union county:
Act 1863, which is an amendment to
several amendments ot the county gov
ernment Act approved March G.h, 1899,
BE it enacted ny the General AS.
sembly that Section l OF said Act b.
| amended t. reLd:n
'-Sec. l. That there shall be- in each
| of the counties of this State Il C)Inty
, Board OF Commissioners, which sll,ll he
composed OF the County Supervisor, who
| shall be elected and hold otlic, ~ no "
provided by law, and two commissioners.
Il Provided, that in Union ths
Supervisor shall be chairman of the
Board. The TWO Commissioners sh al
zach give bond III The sum of one thOuS-
and dollars, they shall each receive as
compenS ition the sum Of two hundred
and litty dollars per annum, sad salaries
| to be without mileage.
Sec. 2. That the County Supervisors
Of the various count y shall receive an
n,lal sal lies, payable aI now provided
by law as fOllowS:'
From this lisg Uni)n county was
omitted, therefore as the election of th,
Supervisor has been provided for, as
usual, and nothing appears in the act
conflicting with his former salary we
cannot see any grounds for reducing the
salary, in the copy of the recent acts
before us. All that we can sec IN it is
that the TWO commi ssionerS are to get
$3.50 perl annum instead Of per diem
allowance as formerly, ana are t. give Il
81, ,00J bond each. We understand it WAS
the intention of the Senate to make thn
reduction and require Il 5000 bond.
| The question is did they make the act
so Id, if SO did the House agree to it
or no., or Il d the printer overlook the
matter. Who is responsible for the
| tangle?
We do not see any necessity for an
opinion from the attorney general office.
The original manuscript copy of the act
is accessible, and it simply requires d
glance at this copy in the engrossing dc,
| partment to ascertain if the act Stipu-
lates the reduction. if it does that
,et:les it. If it does not, and corresponds
with the printed act then the salary
must remain as formerly.
