properly subject the company to the severest criticism in its treatment Of these beneiciaries, many of whom must be subjected to no little suffer ing and distress by this seemingly ln- excusable procrastination on the com pany's part in the payment of its just debts to policyholders.'
 In 1895 the department recommend ed that the company establish a sink ing fund to offset the depreciation Of leases. The suggestion was adopted but, says the examiner, the fund "ap- pears to have been abandoned some time ago, for in ten years it has reached but $56,94S.76. The sum of $42, 900 has, however. been borrowed from this fund and is charged to nor tuary account. The balance, there fore, after the loan to the latter ac- count, reduces the leasehold sinking fund to $14,94S.76 instead of $165,000, the amount which should now repre- sent it, under the recommendation made in 1895 by the appraiser of the insurance department"
 The report alleges that commissions paid by the Mutual Reserve Fund for securing the membership of the Northwestern Life Assurance company of Chicago in 1900, never seems to have been received by it. The receiv- ers' reports since the reinsurance was effected show no revenue from this source. The commission went to third parties.'
 The names of the executive officers of the company and their salaries are reported as follows:
 Frederick A. Burnham, president $39O00; George D. Eldridge, vice pres ident and actuary, S31, ,000; George Burnham, jr., second vice president $17,OO0; G. W. Harper, treasurer, $6,5OO; J. W.

LAwsON's FRIENDS DIsAP-
 POINTED


 Tom Lawson's admiring friends are showing signs of impatience at his de- lay in ruining Standard oil and indi- vidual members of that group. In the face of his positive assurance that everything bearing the Standard Oil brand was about to be involved in over whedlning catastrophe things have been moving in much the same way, any change noticeable being rather for the better than tfe worse in the affairs of that wonderful and mysterious cor poration. There has been rise in Standard Coil stock of more than 16 points in the last two weeks and there is we'll defined talk of an increase in it's dividend disbursements during 1905 over the distribution of last year The earnings of the Standard Oil Company are not greatly affected by the rise and fall in the price of crude oil, the margin of profit being about the same under any and all conditions. Refined petro- leum and the by-products move up and down with the crude and it's all the same to the monopoly. During the last year the Standard oil has invested many millions of dollars in new pipe lines and additions to the machinery for manufacture and distribution. It is not the policy of the management to increase it's cash surplus or working capital beyond the point established years ago. Its policy during the last five or six years has been to distribute practically all current earnings among stockholders. About $5O,000,00O will be passed around during 19O5.-Wall Street Letter.

The city council chamber contained
a large number OF visitors last Monday
night. Most of the visitors were mem
bers of the allied printing traces VINO
are interested in the label ordinance
introduced by Councilman Stewart. The
ordinance had been referred to City
Attorney Strobe, and as that gentle
man was ill and unable to attend the
meeting the ordinance was not brought
up. 1t is more than likely that it will
be taken up at the next meeting, and
the printing trades will be well repre-
sented in the council.
Councilman Malone created some ex-
citement and favorable comment by
opposing Chief Clements recommen-
dation that certain firemen be given
an increase of wages. Mr.. Malone
made it plain that if any firemen were
to be given an increase all would be.
given it. He was playing no favorites
He believes that the firemen are en-
titled to more money, belief shared
by every union man in the city. And
if Councilman Malone will undertake to
secure the increase he will have the

laborer is worthy of his hire.

VOL.1 1
The Facts

The Star of las Wednesday evening
contained an interview with a men,
her of the legislature, name not given,
who seems to be laboring under a mis-
apprehension. This legislator, think
ing that the convict brand" bill was
not open and above board, said:
1T seems to me that there are three
combined influences working against
the present prison contractors in the
interests of certain other persons who
are engaged in the same line of busi-
ness. The first is the legislation in
troduced to brand prison products as
convict made, the second in the binding
twine bill and the third is the re-or-
ganization of the American Broom
company. The legislation to brand con-
Wet goods as such would operate as
boycott in favor of the wares of a
concern like Harrlsons. This, I pre-
sumo is intended as an aid to the busi-
ness in the case the twine factory is
not established to wipe out competi-
ton"
This unknown legislator has had
three guesses and shot wide of the
mark each time. The convict brand"
bill was introduced at the request of
the Central Labor Unions Of Lincoln
and Omaha. The Central Labor Unions
have absolutely ~ interest in any fac
tory or factories in the state save as
workingmen anxious to assist in max
ing successful the business of any and
all men who employ labor and pay
good wages. The intent of the bill is
to protect men and women when they
purchase articles OF common use, such
as brooms. Hundreds of thousands of
people, object to using convict made
goods, and they are asking only that
they be given an opportunity to know
what goods are convict made. The
law is similar in every respect to the
oleomargarine law. Manufacturers of
oleomargarine may sell all the oleo
they please, provided it is not colored
tc initiate butter and is plainly stamped
"oleomargarine." The Lee Broom
and Duster company, or any other
company, may employ all the convicts
it sees fit or is able to employ, and sell
its wares wherever it can, provided it
does not deceive the people but gives
the people an opportunity to know the
truth by branding the wares convict
made"
That is all there is to this bill II
has no ulterior motive. 1t Is plain, ii
is direct, 1t is simple and it is abso-
lutely just and honest. This unknown
legislator should investigate more
thoroughly before impunging the mo-
tives of men just as honest as he or
any other member of the legislature

There is trouble in the printing busi-

warned to steer clear of the city at

private reports from Kansas City are
to the effect that the trouble is spread

most of the job printers now employed
there.
