! MUCH NEEDED STATUTE.

Every state and the national gov
iernment should make it unlawful for
any person to act as, a director In \
more than one corporation engaged
IN the same line Of business. With
out such statutes Of what avail are are
the new decisions which deprive the
big trusts Of corporate existence?
"A big criminal trust Is q co 'l1la

in the same or a simiaar business.
The courts. can dissolve such hold ID
ing companies Of combinat tons, but but
as the law now stands the courts
cannot prevent the stockhold ers Of

LITTLE LESSON IN TRUSTS,

A LITTLE LESSON IN TRUSTS.
4 Herbert Knox Smith, commiss' one1
of corporations has been delving into
the history Of the tobacco trust. Here
are some OF his findings:
In; 1890 the TRUST had 1875, 900, 900
capital" In 1908 this capital,
had grown to 1915, 100000. y
A part Of this capital" is listed
under the head of good will"-$14S,-
100000. Whose good will" is not
stated, but certainly not that of to-
bacco growers or tobacco users.
In 1885 one part of the trust, the
Duke Sons company, was worth the
modest sum OF s250,O00. By the mere
process Of joining the trust it swell
ed to s7,5OO,000 and, later, was
treated to a further dose OF $22,OO0,-
600 in "securiti ties" Yes, and
learns 10 per cent on that.
Now, what profits do you think
this little measly Duke proposition
Of $25O,O0O has earned" in %
years? oh, a matter Of $4,000, 900,
or 1880 per cent.
Really, gentlemen Of high finance,
how long do you expect the Amerir
can public to stand this game OF
watered stock, industrial monopoly,
rising cost OF living, and commercial
lied politics?
Don't you imagine the worm VIII
turn, sometime Wichita (Kan.)

THE NEW JERsEY IDEA For 20.
LlTicAL CONVENTIONS.

LlTICAl% CONVENTIONS.
Considerable Interest is being tax
en- in the new style OF political con-
vention provided for by the recently
enacted New Jersey primary law.
The direct primary abolishes, or
takes the place Of much that was
done in Sthe old style convention.
The new law, however, provides
for conventions to draw up plat
forms, but the conventions are com
4 posed Of candidates nominated at
primaries, hold.over legislators,
members Of the state committees
snd other persons Of official posi-,
tionS and responsibility Such con
8ventions, the theory is, i will be more
5amenable and responsive to public
opinion. The platforms are made
by those who must stand ON them
ana carry out their pledges by men
who have passed muster, faced politt-
ical music, met voters at meetings e
and polling places, and have been been
sobered by reality.
It viii be interesting to watch the the
results ot this innovation.

IMAGINATION IN BUSINESS.
A Fresh Application Of it Now Go
ing on in the Periodical
Trade.

Imagination, as applied in business
foresees what the public needs and
then makes profit by furnishing it.
An interesting new case is shown in
a general development now gong on
in the periodical business.
In the past, readers of periodicals
have obtained their copies in one of
two ways-either by mail through a
yearly subscription, or by purchase
at newsstand. The yearly sub
scription method is a permanent in
stitution, accommodating both to
publishers and to a large class of
customers. The new movement that
is taking place is toward the devel-
opment of the newsstand trade.
Many newsstand dealers WI now
take your order for a periodical and
deliver it to your house each month.
In this manner the customer is saw
ed the trouble of going to the stand
and carrying his PERIODICAL home.
The system tends to induce the GUS
toner to buy more periodicals and
to buy them much more regularly
than does the accidental purchaser
who drifts from one newsstand to
another and in stormy weather stays
away entirely. The general results
are extension of business and stabil-
ity.
Newspapers of course developed the
delivery of their product to the in
dividual customer years ago, but deal
ers in periodicals have not generally
done so. An occas 'onal dealer may
have accommodated an occasional
customer by delivering his periodi-
calls, but the movement has never
become general as it now bids fair
to become.-Woman's Home Com
panion.

a VERY. SAD CASE.
From New York World.

From New York WOrlO.
The Aldrich currency system is
urged by Banker James G. Cannon
upon the approving study of all as
something prepared by the bes.
banking minds in the country" But
he regrets that the plan has got in
to politics" an1 that sides are being
taken.
This is indeed unfortunate and I'M
expected. There is no politics IN
the commission which presents this
plan; only the ''best banking minds. =
Chairman Nelson W. Aldrich OF
Rhode Island is not in politics. He
has been out six months in just for
ty years. Then there are such we'll
known banking minds as ex-senator
Burrows of Michigan, ex-senator Hale
of Maine, ex-senator Teller OF Colo
RADIO and ex-senator Money of Missis-
stppi-aN out of politics as indicat-
ed-and Secretary Knox. Senator
Burton and Senator Bailey, who are
above politics, not to mention half a
dozen members and ex-members OF
the House who went to Washington
as hest banking minds and not as
politicians.
What a shame that after so much
care to keep It out of politics the
Aldrdch commission plan should get
into politics.

| The Tobacco Trust has "d'ssolv.
ed" Within few weeks this, trust
will submit its plan Of disintrega-
ton to the circuit court Of this
southern district OF New York for
approved, and as socn as the court
accepts the plan the trust will be
no more. Touched by the magic of
the Supreme Courts famous ere :
sonable' decision this huge cor
poration will wither up and vanish
form the face Of the earth. Th
trust itself admits that this is what
Will happen.
What is the plan of dissolution?
Under the plan for breaking ur
the trust and doing away with 1t
there will cease to be an " American
Tobacco Company On the contra-
ry there will be tour separate an
distinct companies. Each one of
these four companies will take over
an allotted part Of the present COM
pany, and will substitute its, own
securities for those ct the American.
None Of the four companies will
have amy interest in or relation to
the others, although they will Of
necessity have many stochho' d. r.

by the parent trust.
Commenting on this plan, a repre-
sentative OF the independent tobacco
interests declared the whole scheme
to be a ridiculous sham, under which |
the appearance Of disintegr.tion
could be accomplished, while at the |
same time control of the business
could be retained in a few hands.

In all the history of Licking county
the criminal docket of the common
pleas court has never been as heavy
as IL is at the present time. There
are now pending trial 2S5 criminal
cases, among them being 105 cases for
alleged violation of the Rose law,
while there are also a number OF in
dictments for drunkenness and pro-
family
Thore are Ia cases wherein first
degree murder is charged in addition
to the cases already disposed of Of
the cases growing out of the lynching
about 50 have been disposed of. Half
of this number were charged with mur-
der in the first degree and others for
q lesser degree of crime
The following named persons, in
dicted "or first degree murder, yet re.

Don Moreland will be tried on the
charge of killing a young girl near
Pataskala about year ago.
Regarding the other cases, they are
nearly all for different offenses. It
is quite probable that another Judge
will be secured to try the cases still
pending, which grew out of the trouble
on the night of July 8, 1910.
