TO DRAIN SWAMP

Movementfor Reclamation Of I'm

Government.

Virginia Entitled to Many Dele

Dismal Swamp.
HOLD DRAINAGE CONGRESS

washington. d. O., OCT

washington, ~ u, Oct. 49,
The annual congress of the National
Drainage Association Will be held in
baltimore November 2dtn To it'll. sir-
g.nia Is entitled to at least fifteen
delegnteS Including the Governor. two
Senator's, ten members OF Congress.
two delegates from the Virginia Poly
technic institute. and, in addition.
Richmond, norfolk. Roanoke. Lynch
four delegates each. and all other
cities of the State to two each.
The association is fighting for the
general drainage bill introduced at the
last session OF Congress. which will be
pressed at the coming session. The
bill is drafted along the general lines
OF the law providing for the irrigation
OF arid lands by the genera govern
ment the cost OF the work to be as
sessed against the lands. and to be
paid taen the lands are sold to set
tiers. Thus the government is not
out anything. and the various States
in which such land is located have
thousands OF acres Of highly produc-
luoSlANc IdHO stAASu " St."tA rosoo'S
areas.
1t Is estimated there are so.o0o,ooo
acres of swamp land scattered throug a
the States of the Union. 1t is figured
that We're these lands reclaimed they
would yield produce sufficient to add
se,00o.000.00o to the wealth Of the
country every year.
It is presumed the Governor of Vir-
ginia will appoint delegates toA the
Baltimore convention, since there is a
great deal OF swamp land In Tidewater
Virginia. OF course, there is the DIS
mai Swamp. covering hundreds OF
thousands of acres. and susceptible of
drainage at comparatively small cost
but there are other. large tracts of
swamp and marsh in tho State which
could be converted into superb agri-
cultural land.
Representative j. H. Small. of North
Carolina, has had bill for some year:
which provides for the drainage OF the
Dismal Swamp. He has not succeeded
in having 1t reported, but now that
this national movement for drainage
by the general government has beer
inaugurated, and has assumed sucf
great proportions. 1t Is extremely prob
able that the Congress- will pass a gen.
eral drainage bill. In such case, Il
| would be we'll for the Virginia dele
CATION to be in position to claim the
| benefits of such legislation.

TRANSFORMING A TRUST.
The Chameleon Act OF the standar,
OIL COmpnny.Exp

+ e.. 4 4 s d
At last the government counsel in
the Standard OIL suit has got hold Of
enough OF the records Of the, company
TO solve the mystery OF the transfor-
nation OF the trust In name into a
trust In substance and a corporation
In name 1t has long been manifest
that the combination had never been
changed In character or in control by
the decree OF the Supreme Court Of
Ohio in March. 1892. declaring that it
was an un.awlul trust and must be
dissolved and requiring the sixty four
companies under its control TO be re-
stored to their corporate independence,
but 1t has not been known until now
Just how the nine "liquidating trus-
tees" contrived to eva5e the decree of
the court and perpetuate the trust in
new form.
The old trust certificates represented
3 1890 shares OF the sixty-four cor
porations which had been controlled as
one by the trustees. and the order OF
the court was that the shares be ex-
changed back for the trust certifi-
Gates pro rata and the latter be can
celed. The trustees themselves had
control of twenty OF these companies,
esnd before proceeding to the liquida-
ton they turned over to, these the
stocks OF the whole sixty-four, thus
concentrating the control Of the whole
in these twenty companies which they
had already well In hand. The, stocks
of these companies We're then divided
into twenty parts corresponding in
amount to the outstanding trust GER
ttticates. and some months later, near
the end of 1892. a bare majority of the
shares were exchanged for certificates
held by the controlling clique, con-
sisting mainly OF the trustees them
selves. which included the Rockefei-
lers. Rogers. Flagier, Arohbold and
other magnates. This left them IN as
complete control as before.
1t was seven, years later. In 1899,
when the present STANDARD Oil Com
pany. of New Jersey. was organized
practically as a holding company. that
the holders OF the minority OF the trust
certificates were given the oppor-
tunity of exchanging them for Shares
in that corporation. BY that time the
men who he'd constituted the original
thrust and those closely associated with
| them were able to exercise absolute
contrql over the holding company. an6
through 1t over all the constituent OF
subsidiary companies. The liquidation
Of the technical trust, was then com
plete, but at no time had control ovel
the numerous corporations which 1
bound toge ther been allowed to pass
out OF the hands of those who had con
trolled them as trustees for the stock
holders. The same control continue.
