American Securities in France

From the North American Review.
The French government does not make
it difficult for foreign corporation to sell
Its securities in France so far as the pay-
ment OF taxes is concerned. The principal
difficulty is the practical one of placing
American securities In the hands of
French investors after the taxes have
been paid and all practical requirements
as to the form of securities and legal
requirements in regard to the registra-
ton of the corporation have been fulfilled.
This practical difficulty in regard to the
placing of foreign securities in the hands
of actual investors grows out of the
organization of the BUSINESS Of invest
ments In France. Formerly there existed
throughout France may private bankers
through whom individual investors made
their purchases Of stocks and bonds,
Some still exist. but in general these local
private bankers have been driven out OF
business by the organization of large
central banks (Societes de Credit with
of organization exists in all the principal
cities of France. The following examples
will indicate the character OF these or
ganizations: The Credit Lyonnais, with a
capital of 250,OOO,OOO francs. has its prin-
cpal Office and forty-four agencies in
Paris and nine agencies in the suburbs Of
Paris. The Compton National d Escompte

francs. has it's principal Office In thirty
four agencies in Paris and thirteen agen-
cies in the suburbs OF Paris. The Societe

SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
Christians Who Believe That Christ
Meant Exactly What He Said.

]. G. Pyle. in Putnams Magazine.
Three times at least. in ages many CEN
turtles past the policy laid down In
Christ's Sermon on the Mount has en-
countered life with great literalness.
The Christians Of the first century after
Christ. and. in great measure, Of the next
two centuries, did accept and act upon
the Sermon on the Mount as a rule OF
daily conduct. They followed it's precepts
literally and unto death. Were they over
whelmed by demands which were much
more destructive of both the individual
and the association in that age than
they could possibly be in this? On the
contrary, their example proved both so
contagious and SO conquering that 1t beat
down the mightiest power on earth. The
established social order saved itself from
being swept away by the innovation, and
lost in it. only by accepting 1t nominally
1t professed the doctrine in order that
1t might not be compelled to adopt the
practice.
For the second time. in the middle
ages, arose those who would restore the
Sermon on the Mount to the place where
Jesus enthroned it. The monastic sys-
tenn, in Its purity. was not a separation
of the religious and cOntemplative mind
from the worlds activities. 1t was a de-
lfberate attempt to reinstate In life the
practices as well as the virtues to which
beatitudes had been attached. At their
best, the members of these orders were
not exoterically withdrawn from the
world. They worked. they taught they
healed, they relieved distress by physical
ministration as we'll as by spiritual con-
ISOLATION. They also made such Roadway
that even supreme pontifcal authority,
hostile as it was. dared not deny recogni-
ton to Francis of Assist. The monastic
system FELL not because 1t was unequal
to contact with practical life, but because
the world again conquered the spirit.
In our own times, under the COM
petitive and individualistic system, the
experiment was tried. No thinker and
no critic should be ignorant Of the his
tory of the Society Of Friends. commonly
called Quakers- They lived in modern
society, under modern conditions, ac-
cepted persecution cheerfully, and stood
upon their high hazard that the words
of Jesus meant what they said. That
they matured noble types in personal
character and sustained an admira BILE
conduct of morals Is indisputable. They
have Jared i'll and lost ground precisely
in as far as they yielded to casuistry
and moderated the stern simplicity Of
their doctrine to suit the desire for
wealth, for conformity. for the very thing
which. in their own language, they call

Bridges of the Thames.


London's slowness in building bridges
across the Thames as compared with her
readiness to build churches and taverns
was favorite theme OF the writer's of
the eighteenth century. At time when
her population was well over a million
of the river she was apparently well con-
tent with her one London bridge. AT
last, in 1884, Westminster was seized
with the desire to have bridge of her
own. Application was made to parlia-
ment for powers, only to encounter the
fiercest opposition from the city, the 40
OOO watermen, the Inhabitants of South
wark and the West country bargemen, all
of whom implored the commons to pro
tect them against this new enemy. The
result was that the bridge was not built

anniversary of the famous battle. with

Duke of York. the Duke of Wellington
and q long train of persons Of the first

and Southwark bridge. neither of which.
like Waterloo. brought much grist to the
mill of their enterprising builders what
credit from the foreigner. The proposed
St. Paul's bridge is to cost five or SIX
times as much as any of the existing
bridges.
or all the bridges that have not been
built surely the one from Charingcross
to Waterloo is the most important. The
full tide of London flows at Charing-
cross But the vehicle that would cross
the river thence must make the detour
to Westminster or to Wellington street.
Even the foot passenger has only to

annex of the railway bridge. We are
still a long way from abolishing the
Thames as a dividing line. though we

aim, of course, being to get into the

pockets and roll back to the foot of the

into the center compartments cost the
player a forfeit. When proficiency in the

to direct the balls with accuracy into the

WOLHURST, Sept 22.-President
Taft, after passing the night at the
residence of Senator Hughes, arrived
here at 9 O'Clock this morning and
breakfasted with Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
f. Walsh. Only few guests were
present. At 1890 the President at
tended reception in his honor. Af-
Ter the reception he left for Colorado
Springs.
COLORADO SYRINGE, Sept. 22-
President Taft and party arrived
here at 2:20 this afternoon. By
proclamation of the mayor the day
was a holiday from 10 a. m. to
p. m.
After brief tour of the business
section of the city, the President and
his party proceeded to the mesa
overlooking the Panorama noun
tains and the Garden of the Gods.
The President then returned to the
city and reviewed 5000 school
children, making brief address. He
left for Pueblo at $3.50 p. m.
President Taft in his Denver
speech took up the corporation tax
q
bill and defended it against the pro-
position to impose a direct income
tax. which he acknowledged seemed
likely TO pass the senate when the
corporation tax was devised as a
compromise. The president strongly
urged that all the states should
adopt the proposed amendment to
the constitution. however, to make
an income tax possible in time of
need.
Mr.. Taft was joined here today by
the secretary of the interior, Mr..
Ballinged who will accompany him
on a part of the trip through the
far Northwest. 1t is likely that the
president desired a further confer
ence with Mr.. Ballinger, whose con-
duct of the interior department he
recently upheld in long letter
called out by the Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy, making a final exposi-
tion of the aims and objects of this
administration as To the conservation
of the resources Mr.. Taft probably
will not take up the subject now
until he reaches Salt Lake City,
where he spends Friday and Satur-
day; or he may wait until he ar
rives at Spokane, Wash, where, at
the irrigation congress, the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy really had
its first public airing.
The president today declared that
the corporation tax was in itself the
Best form of income tax that could
be levied, and pointed out that it
contained many of the best features
of the, income tax law of England.
In urging that the states should vote
for the amendment to the constitu-
tion permitting the levying of
direct income tax, without apportion-
ing the proceeds among the states,
according to their population, the
President declared that it would be
possible so to amend the corpora
tion tax as to include within its
scope the desired features of an in
come tax except the, levy upon in
comes derived from actual salary
and professional services.
