The report shows since June 80, 1900, the Com.
pany has issued bonds to the amount of 81 S33S14-
VI and spent that sum in the improvement and
extension OF the railroad, and that within the same
time the Company has paid out OF it's earnings for
back taxes in Mississippi the sum Of 1888 1864
This payment was the result OF the litigation as to
whether or not the exemptions from taxes granted
to the original companies consolidating into the
present Y. & M. v r. R. Co. we're lost BY the con.
soldation. This back tax money has enabled the
State OF Mississippi to build its new Capitol without

~(L[A=- lawyers, doctors, merchants-alI
classes have been feeced in the great financial gam
bling game
There are all kinds OF suggestions made. We
wish to add one to the suggestions
II man buys stocks legitimatey, il a broker
sells stocks egitimately, that is a good business
operation and cannot result in disaster.
But II man buys or sells stocks as q gambler,
If broker carries out bis orders as a gambler the
the man is gambler and the broker is a gambling
house keeper
lt ls rather ridiculous to pay policemen and de-
tectives to persue the small disreputabIe gambler
who carries on his petty game behind closed doors
and drawn blinds, when we allow the big stock ex-
change gambler to carry on his trade openly.
II you want to stop the aotation Of dishonesty
watered stocks, financial ruin for thousands, all the
harm that Is done by stock gambling on a gigantic
scale, you can do so very easily.
Simply treat the broker who runs gambling
house Just ss you treat Mr.. Garfield or any other
man who runs a gambling house.
Enable any individual to recover by law any
money that be can prove he has lost in a Stock Ex-
change gambling operation
whenever man can prove that be has gambed
10 stock brokers' Office, make it possible for him
or his relatives to recover the money. Il is very
investment
u an employe steals in order to gamble in stocks,
let the man whom he has robbed get back The money
from TIE stock broker who received the stolen
goods
This, Of course, would diminish the number Of
stock brokers' and possibly the value Of stock ex.
change seat
Police vigilance diminishes the number of nro.
iessiOna gamblers and the value Of gambling para.
Phensia, yet the cry Of the gambler arouses little
sympathy. '''''0
The Stock Exchange, Of course. is an esaantisR
and sold. y OOOs
But Stock Exchange gambling is not essential, it
Ihere is no reason why thousand or more stoch
brokers should be allowed to keep gambling bOnsas
at the expense Of the country.
Let lew Of them do the legitimate buvine and.
selling OF stocks, and let the others close mn.
whenever the people Of the country get ready ~
stop these disturbances OF business that come from
STOCK gambling they can do So
Incidentally, the stOppage OF Stock Fxchaovo
