That's long word and just now
playing a large part in the business af
fairs of the country. The Baltimore
Sun of recent date well reminds us that
Overcapitaization in American bust.
ness enterprises furnishes food for sc.
rions reflection.
Mr.. Jas r. keene is spoken of as a
"financIer of long experience aud with
thorough understanding Of financial
and industrial conditions in the United
States, and he says:
"Our great railroad systems and
manufacturing corporations have been
organized on an unsound basis They
are tOp-heavy with bonds and stocks,
representing in some cases a capitali-
cation 40 per cent. greater than it
should be. This bears heavily upon
investors in these securities, upon
patrons of railroads and upon the con-
sumers of the products of industrial
corporations. Hence the prosperity
which results from such conditions
Is not of healthy growth. nor is there
any reason to believe that it will be
permanent"
He boldly states that "there is NOT
railroad in the country, except in one
or two instances, that has not been
overcapitalized by mismanagement or
by the fraudulent practice Of those con-
nected with it." This means that
small investors have been compelled to
go without dividends aud in many in
stances have had their investments
practically wiped out.
He further says that 1900 men con-
troll the manufacturing and leading
business enterprises of this country"
The monsters crush out all competitors,
fix prices and wages, and make and |
unmake the money market. He con-
cludes that the Mckinley prosperity
is business which cannot survive
when the excitement is over" War
activity and war excitement he might
have said, as the HERALD has so often
said. We have quoted from this finan-
clal writer with hut one purpose, how.
ever, and that to emphasize the fact
that these 200 dictatOrs of our business
circles are the identical men who de-
nounce Bryan and his followers for be-
leving, as they say, in a 50-cent dollar

OPINION
Relative to Ownership of

X Will Interest Sunni! County's Pro.
perty Owners.
Especial Correspondence.l

Especial Correspondence.)
Columbus, May 10.-In response to
request from the Prosecuting At
torney Of Sandusky county, Assistant
Attorney General Todd has framed an
opinion relative to the appralsement
for taxation of land containing de-
posits of petroleum or other minerals.
Mr.. Todd holds that the presence of
such Il deposit shonld be taken into
account in the determination Of the
value Of land for taxation and that
taxes therefor should be assessed
against the owner of the land unless
there has been u conveyance which
separates the fec In the mineral prod
uct from the fee In the land. In the
latter case taxes upon the oil OF the
other mineral should be assessed
against the person holding the fec
therein.
1t is further held that the ordinary
lease of oil and gas lands does NOT
constitute such conveyance as to sepa.
rate the fee but that each particular
tract Of land upon which o lease OF
any other conveyance has been exc
cuted presents separate question OF
fact, The opinion Is based upon sec
ton 2702 Of the Revised Statutes, the
case Of Jones VS.. Wood, Ninth Circuit
court, 500, and the case of Kelly vs.
the Ohio OIL company, 57th Ohio State
311. ip which the Supreme court holds
that petroleum Is mineral and that
while 1t is In tue earth, 1t forms
part Of the realty.
