POLITICAL POT=PIE

James D. Hoge will be surprised to learn
on his return from the East, that his father
in-law is not only not secretary of the state
board OF control, but has no job at all. John
W. Hanna, backed by Mr. Hoge, became an
applicant for the secretaryship of the afore-
said board and it is reported, GoV Mead
not only promised him the job, but told him
to quit his $4,000 per month position with
the city of Seattle, which he held and to
get ready to accept the position which he
had rendered him to take effect the first Of
May, this Mr.. Hanna did and went to Olym-
pla a week or so ahead of time and was
shown through the office and the duties of
the secretary by the retiring official, but
Hanna now realizes that there is many slip
between political promise and the commits
sion in his pocket, for on the first of May
instead of being given the secretaryship he
was informed that he would only be the
bookkeeper for the board at salary of
$500 per month instead of secretary at
salary of $4,000 per month"; which former
salary is $500 less than the position he had
quit paid him, and he would be compelled
to live in Olympia all the time besides. 1t
took Hanna just two seconds and half to
inform the governor, the board and all con-
cerned could take their $500 per
month job and go to -, where they did
not have to build fires mornings, so far as
he was concerned. Even political promises
should be kept and the successful candidate
who hrna lzS his nrOmiseS when he is in office
will soon run his political course.

representing by their capitalization more
than one-ffth of the total wealth of the com-
try, are managed by ,469 directors and part

company who are also directors in other COM
panies that as matter of fact these ninety
two corporations and firms are controlled
by about 1000 men.
More than a quarter Of the directorships
of these ninety-two corporations or, to be
more definite, 40 directorships- held by
72 men, None Of them is director in less
than two of the companies; some of them are
directors in ten or fifteen.
These remarkable facts go to show the eX-
tent to which concentration of financial pow
er has been brought about through the sim
ple method of exchange of directorships. OF
the 1000 men controlling these corporations
and firms 814 are directors or partners IN
only one concern. There are 227 others who
hold 757 places, and OF these 221, there are,
as has been said 72 which hold 40. The
majority of those who serve as directors III
only one company are men who are hired
servants of that company others are simply
representatives of the larger financial inter
ests which control tin other words, dunn
mics" There are others whose interests III
the company is large, and who, having no
outside investment, give their whole thought
to the single trust which they hold; but 1t IS
safe to say that these ninety-two corpora
tions are, speaking boardly, controlled by the
257 individuals who hold 757 directorshlps,
or one-half Of the total number. A closer
ANALYSIS would show that the 227 individuals
who hold nearly a majority OF the director
ships of these institutions are IN general sub
iect to the influence Of the 72 who hold 4lO
of the directorships
