MONEY IN
THE BANKS
JUDGE GRosscUP OF CHICAGO ON
THE TENDENCY AGAINST THE
PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS.
Shows In An Article in the February
McClure's Magazine How People
Are Withholding Capital from Ac-
tive Private Enterprises-Wage
Garner Not Investing Own Cash.

Not how to crush the corporation,
but how to save it, is the text of an
able and lofty article in the February
McClure's by Peter S. Grosscup, judge
of the United States circuit court of
J appeals, Chicago.
Our sovereign national menac is
the increasing loss of individual pro-
prietorship, the ownership of the indus
trial property of the nation by fewer
people, in the form of corporations.
Judge Grosscup asserts kat the pres
ent tremendous bank boards of wage
%earners are a menace; that they ought
to be devoted to individual enterprise,
as in the early days of the republic;
and that to bring this about, proprie-
iorship in corporations must be made
safe and accessible to working people.
That the Institution of private prop
erty seems at present doomed by the
corporation, Judge Grosscup shows by
posts in 1880 with those in 1904. Dur
ing tina period, the population of the
United States increased about fifty per
cent; its wealth increased about sixty
per cent; while its bank deposits
representing the capital withheld by
the bulk of our citizens from active
private enterprise-increased from two
and a quarter billion dollars to eleven
billion dollars: over five hundred per
cent.
This means that wage-earners of
moderate means increasingly prefer to
let Others invest their savings for them
And Judge Grosscup's remarks on this
phenomena are memorable:
The transformation of the owner
ship of a country's industrial property.
from its people generally, to a few Of
its people only, reaches the bedrock
of social and moral forces on which.
alone, the whole structure of republi-
can institutions rests; for, under such
conditions, instead of depending each
on himself and his own intelligence
chiefly for success, the great bulk of
our people, increasingly, will become
dependents upon others. Those who
possess investible will come to
rely solely upon the great financial
institutions: and those who possess
nothing but capacity for labor, upon
the great organizations of labor. That
is paternalism; p%aternalism in almost
its final FORM
As able as the article is to this point,
it is in Judge Grosscup's three clear
suggestions of How to Save the Cor
poratinn' that we find its unusual and
constructive value.
Government control; putting aside
the five-and-forty b~ewildering state
hands. for the one great national
fand.'
Regeneration: cut out the stock

corporation: the mere vision of vision

SENATOR MAY
VISIT LARAMIE
HON. GEORGE S. NIXON OF NEvA-
DA EXPECTED TO STOP HERE
ON RETURN FROM EAST.
Writes Interesting Letter to Colonel
e. J. Bell, CompIimenting Latter
Upon Taking to Lecture Field,
Even if It Be the Salvation Army
Platform.

Colonel Z. J. Bell, manager of the
Millbrook Land n Live Stock com
pany, has just received a very inter.
esting letter from Hon. George S.
Nixon of Winnemucca, New, who has
been elected United States senator
from Nevada, and who will attend the
Inauguration of President Roosevelt a
month from tomorrow, and will be pres
ent also at the extraordinary session
of the senate to be convened imme-
diately after that event. Mr.. Bell
wrote Mr.. Nixon shortly after his cleo
ton. congratulating him upon the wise
choice the people of Nevada had made
in naming him, aside from the very
wise choice of putting a republican in
the place of y democrat in the senate
from that state, and inviting him to
stop here upon his journey to Washing,
ton this month and speak to the peo-
pie of Laramie. Mr.. Bell informed the
president of the Millbrook company
that he had taken to the lecture field,
and Mr.. Nixon makes a happy refer
ence to that. The letter relates to some
business matters. which are omitted in
the following extracts. Mr.. Bell giving
this paper permission to reprint a por-
ton of the very interesting epistle.
The Mrs. Lee referred to in Mr.. Nixon's
letter is the wife of the cashier of the
First National bank at Winnemucca.
and. Mr.. Bell says. undoubtedly the
finest singer in the state. The letter
is dated at Winnemucca on the
Both ult.:

east. | don't believe that it will be o

Nixon and Mrs. Lee will be with me.
and We will have to arrange Pullman
accommodations right through. On
our return, however, some time during
March, we will try n stop over and
see you for a day or two.
Il thank you for your invitation to
say a few words for the good people
of Laramie. but | will have to forego
this pleasure for a time.
Il am glad to hear that vol have
taken the lecture field; but, as l am
not wise as to the field which the lect-
ures you mention covers, l have Won
dered whether it had any connection
with the work of the Salvation Army.
You may say to some of your friends
there that, if they want someone to
give a short lecture, they should show
better judgment than to call upon you,
as l am of the opinion that you would
shine better on a long course.
We'll. old man, it has been a hard
fight and | am glad that it is over
Sparks was considerably disappointed,
and his friends-who believed him in
vincible-were simply thunderstruck
when the results of the election were
received. | felt all the time hat it
was a hard fight. but believed that
would win; hence you can understand
that | feel exceedingly well satisfied
over the result.
Il expect now to leave here about
the Goth of February and return some
time during March. Will take in the
inaugural ceremonies, and if you have
any word to send to Teddy, just drop
me a line and l will deliver it. Bust
