leaving nothing to show for forty-fve
corporations that year ago paid
taxes to the state on n capitalization
OF over $4,000. 900. Since January 1st
OF this year these two score and FIVE
concerns have been placed In tho
hands OF receivers and nearly every
week the list Is added TO.
On what n fiimsy basis these watery
capital concerns did business can be
judged from the fact that so far as
shown In tho figures presented to tho
courts, the liabilities of the forty-fve
concerns are nearly fourteen times tho
assets.
The state authorities are 10th to ad-
NIT that the corporation business Is
falling on. but II is, markedly. The
banner year vas 1901, when the filing
fees for twelve months amounted to
ssS7. .i79.6T. The following year they
fell to $iG5. .0S9. 80. Up to September
list of this year they have amounted TO
s22s.S92 .62, with gradual decline
since May. In that month the fees
amounted to $5S, POS. 65. Last month
they amounted to $40, go. %.
1t Is safe to say that in a large ma
jority of the cases the stockholders
will not get ten cents on the dollar of
their investment. There is little doubt
tnat In many cases land and personal
property are entered among the assets
at a valuation ridiculously large.
For instance. the White Mountain
Paper Company. capitalized at Sl5.-
100000. has liabilities amounting to
sl1 ,944 ,00S. and Its assets are reported
as not known. The truth Is that the
assets OF the company are $1,000 OF
book accounts, and the material on
hand.
In the case of the Purity Ice Com
pany. capitalized for 100000. there are
liabilities amounting to $31 ,9l7.SS.
