How Inventory Was Taken.

The most expert accountants and appraisers to be had were put at the task. Their labors lasted over eight months. Their report and it's publi- cation by the company marks an ep- och in finance
 It began by recommending an ad- Justment Of the difference between the appraised and book values by a charge of s5.595.0S9 against sur plus. Book values of securities held were reduced to market values, bad and doubtful accounts were "charg- ed off, an allowance of s2.0O0 900 was made for depreciation. another Of so0OO00 for reserve" and so on. until the old surplus of s1S,S67 ,00O came down to S5,136. 900.
 It required courage, the publication Of this statement to stockholders, say ing in effect: The property of your company has been reval- ued: the surplus isn't nineteen mill. ions, as you have been led to be- lieve, but five millions" but it was the truth, and President Vail did not hlnch. Accuracy and publicity" he declared was essential. The stock holder has right to know. The shares of this company are scatter ed from one end of the Union to the other. This is more than q private corporation. It is a great national enterprise. The public is entitled to the facts"
 
 The report was ordered published forthwith. Financiers of the old sehoos and spectators generally were aghast. What would happen? Would the bottom drop out of Western Union when the shareholders realiz- ed that their property was worth Sl3,oOO,0o0 less than they had sup posed? But the amazing thing happened. The stock went up and stayed up. The public had respond ed to this remarkable display of frankness and confidence: to the new motto, Accuracy and Publicity
 The full significance of the action or the new board is stated concisely by Harper's Weekly in these words /:
 Is this policy of publicity and of open-handed dealing with sharehold- CTS and public the forerunner of a similar movement on the part of oth- CT big corporations? Certainly it is to be hoped that 1t is. Tn the case of these big companies. dependent upon public patronage and doing busi. ness under public franchise. can there be any question of the right of the people to know?
 That right is being recognized. It Is recognized now in this erochal act on the part of the telephone and telegraph interests. It Is the dawn or new era in corporation finance" "

FORREST CITY. ARK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 9O
TURNING ON LIGHT l
PRESIDENT valC'S BOLD MOVE MARKS EPOCH IN FINANCE.
Accuracy" Reduced Western unlon's Surplus st3,ooo, o,ooo.-"Publicity" Inspired Such Confidence That
 Its Stock Went Up.

Are the great financiers of the country beginning to see a new light? Time was. until recently in fact. when the men at the head of the big cor porations kept their business to themselves as far as the law would allow. Capable men at the head of the big concerns, long realized the weak ness of their position. but what was needed obviously, as in all great re- forms, was an unmistakable occasion and courageous man. The occasion arose in the purchase of the Western Union Telegraph company by the American Telephone and Telegraph company. and the man appeared in Theodore N Vail, President of the purchasing corporation
 It was last December when public announcement was made that the Gould holdings of Western Union had been taken over by the Telephone company.
 On account of the high esteem in which the management of the tele- phone company is so generally held, great things were predicted as a re- suit of the absorption of Western Union. By the press of the country the deal" was most favorably com mented on, it being widely pointed out that under the direction of such men as Theodore N Vail and his as- sociates, the telegraph company was bound soon to work itself into a po- sftion where 1t could offer the public far more efficient service than 1t had ever before been able to offer.
 But a very few months had elapsed when it became apparent to the new management that modern and up to-date appraisal of the company assets would make possible a far greater degree of Efficiency of oper. ation. Here" they said to them selves, we've bought control of this property and we know It's immensely valuable. but we don't know just how valuable. These appraisals o real estate and securities owned were made long time ago. If we have a complete inventory made of every thing we've got we can announce the facts to the public. start a new set oi books, and begin our responsibility to stockholders right there"
