dividend on their investment, possibly
little higher than they had been get
ting under competition. The remainder
of the economies resulting from GEN.
tralization should be distributed to the
public in the form of cheaper prices for
iron and steel products. Mr.. Gary says
now he would be willing to let the gov
eminent take charge of the business to
the extent of debating prices and divi-
bends. 1t is, of course, too late to talk
of regulating capitalization except as
to the future. The capital of the steel
trust was adjusted under conditions
prevailing at the time of the consolda-
ton. 1t was adjusted in just the same
way as it would have been had the
combination been effected by bunch
of reform newspapers or magazines.
1t is hardly fair to throw up our hands
in horror over transaction such as we
might have figured in ourselves, if
some one had come along and offered to
buy us out on the same basis.
Some day we may be able to come
close to approximating our ideals in
regard to the conduct of big business.
When that day comes it may bring
with it realization that there ought to
be some ideals in little business, too,
but that the task of enforcing them is
wholly beyond us.-Sioux City Journal.

Capitalizing a Trust


Is the United States Steel corpora
ton, the so called steel trust oven
capitalized?
There never has been discussion OF
the steel trust, but the question has
been raised The capital of 1.-THE
biggest trust in the world is close tC
$500, 900, 900. 1t has been said time
and again that the common stock is
all water.
Chairman Gary, of the steel directo-
rate, has been giving frank testimony
regarding all the business details of the
big consolidation. There has been gen.
eral curiosity as to what he would have
to say in response to question about
capitalization. Judge Gary got around
to the point the other day. This is
what he said:
II want to say that from the stand
point of the original cost of the con-
Germs which were taken in and what il
would have cost to reproduce them at
the time there is no doubt the United
States Steel corporation was overcapi-
talized, but from the standpoint of
what all the properties were actually
worth, put together as going concern.
do not believe that the steel corpora
ton was overcapitalized."
When one comes to think of it, it
seems only reasonable to conclude that
the consolidation was effected upon the
best terms that could be made. Take
the Carnegie company. for instance,
the largest of all the subsidiaries. 1t
was a highly profitable concern. 1t
had made big money and was making
big money when the suggestion of sell
ing out came. For it was a sale.
although no money changed hands.
Mr.. Carnegie and the holders of stock
in his company took bonds in place of
their stock. In estimating the amount
of bonds they were to receive they did
not figure on what they had put into
the plant. They figured on what they
were ordinarily getting out of the
plant. And no doubt they demanded
bonds enough so that their income
under the new arrangement would be
about what it was under the old. 1t IL
not easy to see how they could find
advantage in sale on any other basis.
If new capital went into the trust as
q result Of the consolidation it was on
account of the earning capacity Of the
combined plants. As a business prop
osition the only essential was that the
capitalization Should not exceed the
earning capacity Of the plants. That
this consideration was kept in view Is
suggested by the demonstration that as
soon Is the new corporation got into
good working order it found no diff.
Guilty IN paying dividend and interest
charges on all its securities. If it die
not exact unfair prices in order to dc
this the public was in no wise injured
By the subs. tuition Of cooperation fol
competition.
From the public viewpoint there il
IN ideal way in which such consoli
dalton 81 was affected in the stee
industry should have been effected
The owners Of All the plants shouls
5 have put IN their plarts at the cost o
rsproduction, making the total capita
81 re examination equal to the com
bined physical value Of the vsriou
units. Then ~ holders Of stock j,
