managers OF that huge trust as Lords
Bountiful TO their working forces. but
there are two difficulties in the way.
The first is that of all the skilled
I workers in America those engaged in
steel industries are the least in need
of public sympathy and bountes.
They are workmen who comIlnd
high wages. running from S. to $40
per day in the average, and in some
branches reaching to $50 per day for
two and three days per week, which
is the most days man can work and
keep woll. The steel workers are
generally well conditioned, are home
owners and users of the luxuries Of
average living in this country r.
concessions made to them by tho
trust are gratuities and not needed
assistance.
IN the second place. 1t is more 10
the advantage of the trust to have it's
stocks well distributed among the
people-and its own working forces
especially-than it can possibly be to
the holders of few shares each. We
learn from the reports of the com
pany that already its shares are own
ed by more than $4,000 persons, while
before the properties we're combr
in the trust their total shares were
held by only 1000 persons Here is a
gain Of $4,000 persons who have be-
come more or less financially interest
ed in the continuance and profits os
the trust Each one Of the sharehola.
ers represents probably one or
votes and thus it may be that at least
a hundred thousand voters are gained
by the trust who will oppose any per-
sons offering antitrust Legislation.
It is evident that the more widely
these heavily watered shares Of the
steel and other trusts are scattered
among the people the more political
power is gained for the tariff or other
instrumentalites that are essential to
the power and extortionate gains OF
the combines. In an age when so
many lmen carry their principles in
their pocketbooks il is the shrewdest
sort Of wisdom for these vast public
eormorapis to get as many such men
b Interested as possible
Hence il does not strike us that the
steel corporations action in admitting
its worknen to the ownership Of 25.-
600 shares of its stock is more than
one.tenth philanthropy, because it is
certainly nineteaths shrewd precan-
zion 2pd politics.

PROSPERITY PUBLISHED l.em

IN MORTGAGES
The millions Of people who are al.
ways hunting for an easy road to
riches" need not cudgel their brains
any longer. since Colonel Carroll d.
Wright, commissioner Of labor, has
finally discovered how to do it, In a
recent meeting Of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of Sci
ence he delivered an address in which
he pointed out his discovery. so that
any man can understand 4nd oper-
ate &C.
Heretofore most people have look
cd upon mortgages as necessary evils
Those who had to give them oonsid-
cred them burdens until they we're
paid of and cancelled. Merchants
held them as good reason for reducing
the credit of the mortgaged customer
and IN the community generally it has
been a reproach to a man to have
people say "he is mortgaged up to his
eye-lids"
But Colonel Wright comes to the
rescue of the abused mortgaged class
and demonstrates with facile statistics
from the census that the more heavily
some men are mortgaged the more
they are to be esteemed as the pros
porous and progressive men Of the
land For instance, he says lhat 1t
was shown, by classifying the reasons
for mortgaging homes and farms. that
"95 per cent of the mortgages indi-
Gated prosperity rather than the re-
verse" The motives of the mortga-
gors varied. but generally were to-
add to original holdings. or raise
money for business operations, or to
educate children. or make improve
ments on the property itself
With these reasons ascertained it
is the IDEA of Commissioner Wright
that the vast majority of our mortga-
ges indicate conditions entirely diff
ferent from the prevailing impression
that a mortgage represents disaster
or failure or some other i'll condition
of the man who makes It The other
per cent. of mortgages represent
the total OF those who have sustained
losses from any reason and have been
compelled to secure past due obllga-
tions in that form.
So careful a statistician and eco
nomlc student as Commissioner
Wright is would hardly make a mis-
calculation in a matter of this inn
portance We believe the general
knowledge of business men in the
country win corroborate his findings
and confirm the fact that the vast ma
iority of mortgages are OF the nature
of increased credits based upon the
prospects of success and gains in fu-
ture operations Thus they 80 indi-
cate the confidence Of the mortgagors
in their ability to use their capital
over again in the form of loans and
make profits equal to the principal
and interest Of the mortgages within
the terms they carry
II appears, therefore. that popular
opinion regarding the man with the
mortgage should be reformed to com
port with the facts in the case. 50
that those who borrow tolbuild again
and do increased business may be ac-
counted rather than among the dis
credited debtor class.
