who has q great love for nature
say he has not had poetical in
spiration? IF he says he has not,
then he has not been capable of
enjoying to the fullest degree the
greatness Of the nature that sur
rounds him.
The art of putting words to-
gether metrically, producing few
verses, does not make poet, nor
does the writing of a short story
make great novelist; and if the
foregoing assertion is correct, why
does anyone claim the right to say
to the prose writer: "You have
done grand and noble work; you
have made mark in this world !;
your writings have pleased NE i'm
mensely; come up higher and oc-
cupy a seat near my Thrones" while
to the poet he says: "Your writ
ings in MY estimation are shallow
and sentimental; there has been
no depth of meaning they have
had no influence for good; you
have been complete failure, there
fore depart, ye cursed"
Will anyone say that the poems
Of Burns, Milton, Pope, Long
fellow. Tennyson, Whittier and
many others have not had a good
influence morally and education
ally? We get some of our best
descriptions of the manners and
customs of the people in the eight
eenth century out of the poems of
some of the above mentioned
writer's. Possibly some of our
great poets have not lived as we
think they should have lived, yet
our acquaintance with their sur
roundings, manners and customs
is so limited that we are not in al
position to judge intelligently.
Our Judge must take into con-
sideration that all of us cannot
look at things the same as he does,
yet we do not feel that the state
will be obliged to remove us at a
very early date.
We all differ in our ways of d.
verting or resting our minds after
a hard days work. Some will
join a social group and smoke;
others will indulge in a game of
cards; others in game of ball;
others in music; others by reading
and study; others will write a
short story at the same time get
ting great deal of real enjoy
ment out of it; but should the
writer endeavor to write a short |
poem instead of story, will our
Judge say he has gone crazy?
If there are those who do not
agree with my ideas of the poet
and his writings, I will not con-
denim them to the safe keeping of
the state. As I have said before,
we all differ in our emotions, but
no one class has right to say that
IS the other class does not agree
with them they are unbalanced in
mind and should be taken care of.
The study of poetry is too deep to
,reat of it in one whole issue of

POLITICALLY inclined should study

lble to make your surroundings a

shorter and it will help you to

force prices up, throwing hundreds
of men out of employment. Upon
the formation of one of the trusts,
over three hundred statesmen, and
of another over two hundred sales
men, were discharged, to say moth
| ing of other classes of labor.
| There is no doubt but some of
the combinations have been
brought about largely because of
the increased power such CON-
bination would have over labor
unions. All the plants of one line
of product being under one head,
labor troubles at one plant can be
met by shutting down and work
ling plants in other parts of the
country, as has been done in sew.
eral instances.
! One evil which suggests itself is
the enormous influence and power
such combinations of wealth place
in the hands of a few persons;
power not only to more success
fully resist the upward demands
of labor, but to secure for them
selves determinations which are
contrary to law and against public
interests. Even if the reduction
of expenses made possible by CON-
bination was followed by reduced
prices to the consumer, which it is
not, this reduction of cost would
be dear in the end. When low
prices are made by reduction in
wages, We do not want them. We
are willing to pay good prices to
secure good wages for labor, but
not to pay dividends on watered
stock. The natural tendency of
these combinations is low wages,
high prices and big dividends.
How then can they be pre-
vented, or at least regulated, SO
ais to do the least possible harm to
the general public? I think this
can be done by the passage ofuni-
form laws governing corporations,
by the state legislatures. It is
true, we have the Federal Govern
ment, with the Sherman Law and
the Interstate Commerce Law,
but these are only effective in GER
tain cases involving interstate
commerce. The individual states
are in different and much strong
er position. These corporations
are created and receive their life
from the state, consequently the
state can pass such laws as it sees
fit, for the granting of corporate
rights. The state laws as they
now stand take extreme care of the
producer, but very little protection
is thrown around the consumer.
By making the question of the
regulation of combinations and
trusts an issue, the people of each
state can force the Legislators to
pass such bills as will allow per-
sons to incorporate only under re-
strictions that will prevent water
ing stock and compel stock to be
issued for a fair valuation. Laws
that will compel corporation to
confne itself strictly to the bus
mess for which it was created and
not invest in other business that
gives it complete monopoly in
raw material as we'll as the finish
ed product. Laws that will place
the corporations under the control
of state officials appointed for that
purpose, thus preventing the use
of secret methods.
It is these secret methods that
enable corporations to give and
receive determinations. William
j. Bryan suggests the following
plan: "a congressional act requir-
ing a license to be issued. No
corporation, without this license,
allowed to do business outside of
ita own state Tho Econca 70 hol

s ~ { corporations and from
private corporations in.
to the present combinations Of
corporations or trusts is easily
traced. The first step from part.
nerships to corporations was made
for two main reasons:
First, on account of the question
of liability. In most states the
stakeholder is responsible for twice
the amount of his stock, whereas
in a partnership each partner is
responsible for the entire liabil-
tiles of the firm.
Second, because the life of a
corporation does not end upon the
death of any Of the members, but
is continuous. In a partnership
the death of a partner dissolves
the partnership. The next step,
that is, forming the private corpor-
atoms into one large combination,
was taken of course to control
prices and kill competition.
There is great deal of misun-
derstanding as to why nearly all
the trusts are incorporated under
the New Jersey law, the general
supposition being that the New
Jersey laws are loose in deal
ing with the granting of corporate
rights. This, however, is not true.
The laws of New Jersey in this re-
:spect compare favorably with those
of other states in all but one par
ticular, that Of liability of stock
holders. AS before stated, the laws
of most states hold stakeholder
responsible for twice the amount
of his stock; under the New Jersey
law he is liable for but one-half of
his stock. This is direct bid on
the part of New Jersey for the fees
attached to the granting of corpor-
ate rights, without regard to the
security of creditors.
The first step in forming the
trust is getting the partnerships or
private corporations into one CON-
bination, appraising the value of
each and then issuing stock. Usu-
ally there are two kinds of stock
issued, preferred and common
stock. The preferred stock repre-
sents about the cash or actual
value of the various concerns
brought into the combination.
The common stock represents moth
ing tangible, but is largely COM
posed of what has come to be called
"Water," i. e. nothing. The ap-
praised value of the concerns
brought into the Tobacco Trust
was less than five million dollars.
Upon the combination being per-
fected, 25 million dollars in stock
was issued. The Whisky Trust
issued six hundred thousand dol
lars in stock for every one hundred
thousand dollars of value that was
put into the combination. The
American Tin Plate Company is
sued fifty millions in stock against
a valuation of eighteen million.
All the other trusts recently
formed are on the same basis of
watered stock.
The first problem that confronts
the board of directors is how to
pay dividends on this enormous
amount of water. We can at once
see the evil effect of the watered
stock. Dividends must be paid
and the managers are forced to
take steps to accomplish this end,
steps that would not be necessary
under honest conditions. Two d.
rect ways force themselves upon
the manager. First, he can cut
down expenses. The larger part
Of this cutting process falls upon
labor. Second, he can put up the
prices to the consumer. Plants

WHAT IT COSTS FOR
TORRENS LAND REGISTRATION

The Registrar of the Court of Land
Registration has compiled a table of
costs of court from which an applicant
may compute the costs of registering
his title to land. It will be seen that
the costs Of court may be estimated
very closely on the basis of s31 and $3.50
per thousand dollars Of assessed value
of the real property.
This rule is close enough for all or
binary purposes, and is made UP from
the costs shown in the accompanying
table. The cost to the applicant is
light for all ordinary homesteads or
properties under 500, 10000. The costs
(s1s1) do not amount to the sum paid
for an abstract and opinion on the sale
or mortgage of property worth $780,,
900, and yet the government for this fig
ure insures the title to the purchaser,
and the boundaries are finally settled.
For a property worth $4,000, s46 is
charged, less than the costs of a deed
and opinion on title in each case of
transfer of the property.
