which he gives his reasons requiring
more than two thousand words. The
governor states these objections: 1t
changed the fiscal year, making it be-
gin Jan. and end Dec. 81. 1t did
not, as stated in its title, actually
establish q uniform system of public
accounting, but left that task to the
state auditor. Its provision requiring
all public officers to report to the
state and for every year was too
broad. The section requiring the
state auditor to examine the financial
affairs of every public officer in the
state every year was of doubtful pro-
priety. Some parts of the bill were
of doubtful constitutionality, as it
stated its purpose to be the establish
ment Of uniform system of public
accounting, while the body of the bill
created two new offices. The gov
ernor has also vetoed the bill which
takes away from the judges of the
circuit court of Cook county the right
to appoint their shorthand reporters
and giving that authority 10 the
county commissioners, and the house
bill making appropriations for the
Illinois Farmers institute and county
farmers institutes, duplicate of a
senate bill which was also passed and
which was signed by the governor.

AND MUCH OF 1T Is WATER, AT THAT.

The Standard Oil directors have
Just declared another dividend of II
per cent. In March last they declared
a dividend of 20 per cent. Thus far
in this current year, 1901. they have
thus divided profits of $50 600. 900 on
their 800, 600, 600 of alleged invested
capital.
The New York World gives some of
the amazing facts about the.record of
this leviathan among trusts. 1t says
that up to June, 1899, the capital of
the Standard Oil concern was only
so, 900, 900. On that amount it had
been paying for eight years dividends
ranging from II per cent up to 50 per
cent per annum. In June, 1899, its
capitalization was increased-by a
stroke of the pen-to SO 600. 600 of
common stock and SIC. 900. 900 of pre-
ferred stock. Since that date it has
paid dividends as follows on the new
capitalization of 800. 600. 0C0, of
which 80 per cent was imitation:
In 1900, As per cent. 4SO0O.00
Total dividends 10 two years. ...... Sll3,O0,0O
Ii is not yet quite two years since
the directors of this com bine came to-
gether and voted to multiply by 10
its then alleged capital investment of
ten millions and make it one hundred
millions. And within these two yesrs
it has already paid $113. 900. 600 as
profits on the 500. 0O0,0 900 of capital
investment thus created by the pro-
cess of dilution.
1.-THE original capitalization OF S1O,-
600 600 had not been thus deluged
with water, the dividends actually de-
clared upon it in the past two years
would have been SS3 per cent in 1899,
$50 per cent in 1900, and for 1901
with nearly seven months of it yet to
come-32O per cent
Yet are there people who hug the
delusion that Standard oils monopoly
has immensely cheapened the price of
oil. How much cheaper would it be
if the Standard Oil dividends were in
stead of $50 per cent per annum on its
actual capital invested?
