GRAND JURY SUGGESTIONS.
County is Put to Heavy Expense by
 Ones Sided Investigations.

Editor Sentinel-Record
 I have thought that upon the eve of the convention of the Garland county grand jury it might be we'll to make some suggestions regarding the deliberations of that body that might rebound to the welfare of the county. It is well known fact that in the past many indictments have been re- turned against individuals upon unre- liable information and in instances in which the investigation extended to only one side of the case. In all such instances. convictions have failed for lack Of sufficient evil denee. and thus the county has been forced to bear the burden of expen- Isiye trials and court proceedings which might have been easily avoid ed.
 In cases in whichit is impossible to procure reliable information from both sides, cannot see the expe- drency or wisdom of returning indict- ments at all. The people of Garian,i county have been taxed enough, heav- en knows, in the trial of cases in which there was no question of the guilt of the defendants. without incur ring additional expense in wild goose chases. l do not mean in this commu. nication to cast any reflections upon our grand juries, but simply desire to remind those Who serve the public in this capacity of the vital importance of a thorough investigation of both sides of case before returning an in- dictment.

A Glimpse of How the TRUSTS Work.

A fine illustration of the power OF
monopoly and how that power is used,
is afforded by the recent report on the
American Tobacco Company by Her
bert Knox Smith, United States Com
missioner of Corporations. We can
not do better than to reprint the fo:,
lowing summary of it's contents as
given in the New York Outlook:
''The huge profits secured through
monopoly are illustrated by the his
tory of the Tobacco Combine or Com
bination of Corporations shows in his
just published report, that Combina-
ton three years ago. controlled four
fifths of the whole domestic tobacco
industry, except cigars, and from 1904
to 1908 the average profit was 10 per
cent, or $4,000, 10000 a year. But the
earning power of such control appears
even more strikingly in particular
branches. In the snuff business, for
instance the Combination had SO per
cent-that means almost a complete
monopoly-of the whole business; in
1910 the common stock of the snuff
company, originally all water paid
27 per cent in dividends. In the high
ly controlled smoking tobacco bust
nesss, the average earnings. of its inn
portant factors increased in 1908 to no
less than 55 per cent. Now, On the
other hand, in the cigar business, of
which the Combination controls not
over Is per cent. the rate of earnings
has gone higher than 8 per cent.
"The result of the Spanish War tax
on tobacco products throws light on
the power of monopoly. That tax was
imposed in 1898. Prices rose in CON
sequence. Three years later the tax
was reduced to it's former basis. Did
the Combinations prices come down?
1t was actually able to continue them
on the higher level.
$50 much for earning power-the
first feature to strike one in the To-
bacco Combination. Excessive capt.
talization is the second feature. The
Combinations capitalization is much
greater than it's actual investment, the
difference being in the value called
good will. The Bureau of Corpora.
tons finds nc less than 1874, 900, 1000
out of $148, 100000, out of a total Of
$148, 100000 entered as good will to
be Observation-Disclosures.
"A third feature to be noticed i
that, through. adroit and frequent ad
justment of the Combinations securi
ties a very large part of its e
earnings have gone to a small grour
of insiders. These insiders have
throughout controlled the voting pow
| er.
Perhaps nowhere have we a NOR
startling example of the advantages O.
monopoly than in the Tobacco Com
b~ination."

reached bar some very clever singing,
dancing, clever and thrilling special

most tuneful music one wonld care to
listen to, full of ginger and life, with
not dull moment from start to finish,
something is going on all the time the
curtain is up. It is an up-to-date show

spersed with several specialties of the
better class. If you want to have a
good laugh, enjoy the evening and go
home whistling, happy and contented,
this is where you will get full value for
your money.
