earnings.
This conclusion is reached by the very
simple process of multiplying tons pro-
duced by $15. The experience of years
shows that the steel corporation aver
ages just about SIS per ton. on output.
The prospect thus presented Is one which
is an unceasing come on" for IN
for 1910 is for at least 20 per cent earned
on the common stock. and makes 1t prac-
tically certain that after the first of the
year 1t will be put on at least per cent
basis, with possibilities for increase
which are certainly alluring. Surely 15
per cent surplus will not long be required
to make up depleted accounts drawn upon
during the last two lean years. The $40
100000 additional required to complete
the Gary plant will also be made up
long before the next year is over. The
common stockholders will then come into
their own. and come a-whooping.
insiders" Expect Big Business.
While on the subject of United States
Steel mention may be made of an in
spired paragraph which is going the
rounds to the effect that insiders expect
the corporation to do a gross business of
81 1000. 100000 next year. For insiders to
sponsor such an estimate or encourage
It's circulation speaks i'll for their candor.
BY the peculiar system of accounts in
vogue in the offices of the Steel Corpora
ton the total figures of gross business
done are greatly exaggerated. Material
is bought and sold by subsidiary compa-
nies Of the corporation to each other,
and these dealings figure on the books
as separate transactions. The result is
a duplication of amounts and showing
much larger than is really the case at
the end OF the year. One result Of this
bookkeeping practice is to give q decep-
lively small percentage on net profits on
the volume of business transacted.
A safe way to get at the sum total is

MADISON DIRECTORS WIN.
Judge Fellows Decides Famous Case
in Favor of Board. Other
Matters Disposed of.

The May term of the district court
finally closed on Friday morning,
after being convened in session at
varying intervals by Judge Fellows.
About the only case of public inter-
est disposed of during the week was
the Madison township school case,
which has been in controversy for
IA number of years. The final deci-
sion is for the defendant, in favor OF
the board of directors, in effect that
they have done their duty according
10 law, as they saw it. The DEGREES
IN this and the other cases are as
follows:

Court that the Board is in good faith
seeking to subserve the best inter-

school Houses. and the Board is
ciothed with io authority to- divert
the fund to other purposes. Pecu-
liar difficulties are to be overcome
which requires time to adjust so as

suits. The Board has a wide dis

QUICK ACTION NEEDED.

AS the days go by 1t becomes more
and more evident that the time is
not ripe for an adjustment of the
tariff on scientific principles. Most
of the ooEgressmen are hustling for

the general interest of the country.
The mCvement for q business tariff
is therefore wrecked for the time
being. It remains to save what Ne
can ut OF the pieces and to set the
