for every share of stock owned
by stock holder, he was given 20
additional shares. To do this IL was
necessary to increase the capital stock

was added, however. The increase was
declared out of the surplus.

several melons of this sort have been
cut. The Vacuum Oil company, an
other subsidiary, recently increased
its capital stock from s2,5OO,00O to SIS.

allowing" Them To Vote
President Taft, in a recent letter to
Chairman Koenig, of the Maryland
State Republican committee, used this
language:
II hope you will see to 1t that all
voters are allowed to cast their bal.
lots at the coming primaries"
Apparently, 1t does not occur to the
President that as free born American
citizens they have the perfect and in
alienable right to cast their votes
without waiting for Mr. Koenig or any
body else to "allow" them that privil
! ege.
