MODERN BUSINESS VICES.

A stockholder Of the United States
Express company has asked that re-
ceiver be appointed for the concern,
not because it is In any way financial
ly embarrassed, but because the of.
1clals, by action apparently within
their legal authority, are diverting its
profits to themselves. There are va
rlous ways OF doing that, says the San
Francisco Chronicle One is by max
ing improvident contracts with other
concerns In which the interest OF the
officials is greater. Another is by
voting to themselves enormous sal
aries for services whose performance
requires no special ability. Still an.
other is by the use OF corporate funds
in speculation All these and perhaps
other abuses are charged by a stock
holder in the United States Express
company, who states, moreover, that
there has not been a stockholders
meeting for the election of officers for
forty-siX years. What merit there
may be In the claims of this stock

frequently to declare that the most Sc.

probably true that the public suffers
far less from corporate abuses than Is
imagined and the stockholders far
more. Presidents and managers OF

often receive salaries far above those
