STEEL TRUST TO
GUT OUT ITS
BONUSES
PLAN TO SWELL DIVIDEND FUND
HOLD ERs OF COMM o N
SHARES START MOVEMENT
WHICH JoLTs MANAGEMENT

PITTSBURG. April 20.--There Is
trouble in the United States Steel cor
poration which will be thrashed out
behind closed doors at the annual
meeting In New York. Holders OF
common stock hays made a demon
strauon, the effects OF which have al
ready been felt in the Pittsburg dis
trict. whore the goods OF the corpora
uon are manufactured.
Word has been sent here and quiet,
ly passed around that there will not be
any more immense bonuses passed
out at the end OF each year to fav-
cred ones, from the president, w. FL
liz Corey, down to the smallest fav-
o.ed superintendent OF mills In the
:iittsbury district.
This Is what the holders OF COM
mon stock have just demanded. They
ask a return to the old per cSIIt an
nual dividend as soon as possible, and
as the first step Ia this direction have
suggested that the millions which
have been paid out annually In the
last Ave years as bonuses" 10 on
cials OF the corporation. as well as
heads OF departments and others Sc
lected by the finance COMMITTEES. be
cut or and diverted To the common
dividend.
$4.o0o.o0o In Bonuses.
The astonishing statement Is made
here and appears to be- borne out In
the sixth annual report Of the corpora
ton. now Ia the hands OF the common
stockholders, that In 1907 there was
paid out In bonuses to president, man.
ayers, officers. superintendents and
others more than $4,000. 900. while at
the same time the total OF dividends
paid to the holders OF common stock
In the entire corporation was $10,166.-
O50, or about two and one-half times
~ mach as the officials and others got
as gifts, aside from their salaries. In
the last I'VE years there has been paid
cut In bonuses, In round figures about
$11, 375, 900.
This Is leak which the holders or
common stock have demanded be plug
ged and word is given out here that
II has been plugged The contention
is that all those in authority In the
Steel Corporation are paid enough
salary to incite their best work In
stead OF voting a bonus

Questions growing out Of our colon

to the control and regulation Of great
combinations of capital will crowd
upon the next President for settle
ment. And more than al any time
in our history will questions concern

ssd. Something more than the abil-

but he has neither the knowledge Of
constitutional law. nor the tact that

dent. Taft is on the right side Of
every great question and We believe
that the same wise Provi dsnos that
provided Abraham Lincoln for the
emergency needed, has been just IS
careful to give Us the big brainy gen

IS our bid was made in good faith,
and We are ready at any time to car
ry out our contract.-Published in
Holly Chieftain and .epublished in
Lamar News.
The above item was known to be
malioiously false both BY the author
and the man who republished ii. It
only shows to what dirty methods
both Of these alleged republicans
will stoop in order to try 10 injurs q
republican Board Of Commissioners.
The Commissioners did not allow
Geo. B. Merrill S134.4O for Station
cry" and never did allow half that
in any one month for stationery to
us. They allowed that sum for print
ing two warrant calls, the oommiss.
toner's proceedings and $40 worth Of
stationery. The Holly Chisftain did
not try to save the county any mon
ey on the stationery contrast and did
not bid 900 per inch On printing the
delinquent list. II seems he has to
falsify even on the smallest items,
Just his nature most likely. He did
bid 93c per inch on the tax list which
on the average of the past few years
might have saved the county $25,
but his bid also included prices fally
40 per cent higher tn sn the Register
ON stationery, which would have cost
the county several times that amount.
Although not called on in any way
to recognize the bids of the Chisftain
man, who had just barely arrived in
the county and probably won't re-
main till the tax list is published, or
the socialist editor Of the News, the
commissioners awarded the printing
to the lowest bidder.

Good Ticket. Good Platform.

It will be found that the universal
opinion of thinking Republicans is
that the presidential ticket for 1908
is we'll balanced. Mr.. Taft represents
the kepublissn party In . marked
degree upon many issues which will
confront the people during the cam
paign. He is 9 maa of the highest
character, of recognized ability, and
he possesses such personal character
istios and habits of mind and man.
ner IS will appeal to the best sls-
ments Of the American people. II
he has a any time gone too far in his
advocacy ofTariff tinkering, he has
not been able to carry the Rspubli-
can party with him. He is given the
nomination under terms embodying
the best possible endorsement Of his
party, and a vote that should be
gratifying not only to him but TO
every friend of American institutions
The platform is 9 chart for his sd-
ministration, made In accordance
with what has been asked for by
sound and sane Protectionists the
country over. namely, q chart which
il followed by the ship Of state.

July Brvan's Month But
November Taft's

Walter Wellman, the last Of the
independent newspaper writer's who
held to his faith In Bryans prospects
has seen q great light and awakened
to the weakness Of his idol. The
following from his pen will show how
he finds the situation in the greet
oenters of the east:
Bryan will get the nomination,
but johnson could win the election
Such is the opinion Of all the anti
Bryan Democrats. It is also the
opinion Of many Republicans.
The Bryan Democrats believe th 9
Nsbrssksn the strongest candidate
their party could name. And in this
view they are supported BY q few
neutral, Independent observers.
Now that Taft has been chosen the
Rspubliacn standard bearer, and the
nomination of Bryan at Denver seems
insvissbls, it il interesting to take
stock Of the great diversity of opin-
ions held - to the outcome Of the
campaign by men whose judgment
il usually Of value.
It is far to early for student Of
politics, who has no partisan lean
ings to influence his judgm ent. to
attempt to form an opinion as to the
result in November. That shoald
not be done until several months
from now, and then only after thor
ouRh study Of the field.
But even at this early stage Of the
presidential osmpsign-before the
campaign has begun-ons fact as to
the state Of the public mind stands
out conspicious and impressive. 1t
may or may not prove to hs an atti-
tuds of mind that is wholly errons
GUS, based upon unsubstantial facts
and Aeeting impressions. With the
question whether it is right or wrong
we now have nothing to do, being
for the moment concerned only with
9 statement of the existing conditions.
This is the widely prevalent be
lief among business men and men Of
affairs that Bryan is sure to be NOM
mated, that he is Is sure 10 be de-
feated at the polls, and that, with the
Denver convention doing that which
it is generally expected to do, the
battle for the presidency is already
virtually over, and Taft is a. good
IS elected to sit in the high chair.
10 this view the business and fin
aneisl worlds are already adjusting
themselves and their affairs. They
wait only to see if the expected hap,
pens st Denver. If it does they will
for the most part, 60 about their sf-
fairs with the serene faith that moth
ing is likely to happen to place the
result in doubt. Whether these men
are or are not justified in holding
that view remains to be seen in the
future. The important fact is that
they do now hold it and are proceed
ing accordingly. And those who
hold this opinion are Democrats as
well Is Republicans.
