TOBACCO TRUST DECISION.

The decision of the United States cir
cult court that the American Tobacco
company is operated in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law and in restraint
of trade is the most important opinion
handed down by a court i'm this coun-
try for many years. If sustained it
must ultimately bring about the dis
solution of the giant corporation, and
as a matter of course all the other
trusts will be brought to book. The
court hesitated when it came to ap-
pointing a receiver at this time.
Notwithstanding the general paral-
ysis of business during the past year,
this company has been able to main
tain its enormous dividends. Its con-
troll of the tobacco trade is world
wide. two-thirds of the stock of the
British-American Tobacco company,
capitalized for S5O,OOOOOO, being held by
the American concern. which is cap
italized at s1SO.OeO,OOO.s The British
company. being on the other side of
the Atlantic with its books and bust
ness. may be able TO dodge the appli-
cation of the antitrust law and con-
tinue the vast business.
It has come to light that many of the
trust magnates. fearing adverse deci-
sions in the trust cases, have been
contemplating taking up their residence
abroad if a way can be found to re-
tain the rich sources Of their income
on this side of the Atlantic 1t is
known that some of the most noted
corporation lawyers of the country are
working on this problem of avoiding
the unpleasant consequences of anti
trust legislation This plan might be
worked out in the matter of protection
against restraining laws passed by the
states. but it would hardly succeed
where federal statutes were involved
AT the time when the Northern Pa
cifq-Great Northern merger was at
tempted the promoters carefully con-
sidered the question of making it a
foreign corporation with headquarters
in London. The plan was finally
dropped and the company forced to dis
tive at this time in discussing foreign
Incorporation. but ii is not known that
any papers have been filed or that they
win be in the immediate future.
The government has a suit against
the Standard oil company at the pres
ent time, which win be forced to dis
solve If the decision in the case of the
tobacco company holds good The pow
der trust is also being prosecuted and
the same result will follow If these
corporations are to be split up, the eff
feet upon business will probably be
disastrous for time, but there is no
other way out. If the decision of the
federal court in New York be not up
held. the effects viii be still more dis
astrous in the long run. The outcome
wiz be awaited with intense interest.

FORESTRY IN JAPAN.

Mhile this country is struggling with
the problem of protecting its forests
from complete destruction, and of i'm
proving the waterways, it is interest
ing to know that the Japanese have
been successful in this very matter.
The evil results sure to follow the de-
struction of their extensive mountain
forests were foreseen by the busy
brown men of Nippon. and they safe
guarded themselves by placing all these
under government control.
The practice of forestry has been
carried on in Japan for a longer time
than in any other country. For ]. 200
years the people of Japan have been
planting and growing forests, with a
success which is claimed to have been
but little short OF marvellous. Under
careful management the Japanese for
ests yield very high financial returns.
This high yield is only made possible
by the close. utilization of every bit of
the tree so that scarcely "a twig is
wasted, and by the Improvement of the
growth of their forests by carefully
conducted thinning and tending. The
woods are first thinned at the age of
thirteen years. and then every five
years after that up to the time of the
final harvest, at 100 years.
1t was with the opening up of the
hitherto inaccessible mountain forests

GUARANTY OF DEPOSITS.

II seems that the bank guaranty
proposition took root in New York to
the sxtent that many surety companies
are doing big and profitable business.
dispatch dated New York. Nov. s.
election day, reads as follows:
Since Mr.. Bryan first advocated the
guarantee of bank deposits many surety
companies in this city have built up a
large depository bond business which af-
lords the protection to depositors hither-
10 lacking under the banking system
a canvass Ct some of the representa-
tive companies showed that the business
OF guaranteeing the individual depositor
mad assumed such proportions that a
special department had been created in
many instances to handle applications of
this kind
tory banks since the recent financial de-
preston. Bonds asgregating many hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars. represent
ing comparatively small deposits have
been written by the companies during
the last year.
a representative of. one company said
that such bonds were issued in some
cases directly to the prospective depositor
without disclosing the fact to the bank
that the depositor had applied for protec-
ton.
These bonds are issued for a premium
of one-half of per cent. The deposit is
limited to $4,000 by some of the compa-
MES. Other companies will insure much
larger deposits.
Virtually all of the surety companies
go on the bonds of the banks as guar
antors of the deposits of state, county and
municipal funds to the extent of millions
OF dollars. In this case practically the
same principle OF bank deposit guarantees
is involved
After reading the above. it will read
lily be seen that the defeat of Mr..
Bryan does not necessarily mean the
abandonment of the plan. Indeed, it is
likely that the Republicans will formu-
late and pass the guaranty law in the
near future
