Tariff and RIoated Fortunes.

The tariff on cotton and woolen
goods Las built up group of bloated
fortunes in New England almost equal
to those built up in Pennsylvania by
the tariff on iron and steel.
Take cotton tariff first.
The owners of New England cot
ton mills get some Of the most fam
tastic dividends ever paid.
In eight years ending with 1907.
the Union, one Of the largest mills Of
New England, paid total Of 1873 per
cent dividends; or an average of 23
per cent per year.
In the same eight yeccs, the Troy
mill paid 1S9 per cent, or an average
Of 1882 per cent per year.
In the same eight years, the Laurel
Lake mill paid 100 per cent cash di.
vidends, and 100 per cent stock divi-
dends, total of 29O per cent, or 1925
per cent per year. ....
But the Dartmouth mill holds the
record.
In 1905, the Dartmouth paid 20 pei
cent dividends.
In 1906, the Dartmouth paid 26 per
cent dividends
In 1907. the Dartmouth paid 66 pei
cent dividends.
In 1908, the Dartmouth paid 66 per
cent dividends.
In 1909, the Dartmouth paid stock
dividend Of 100 per cent, and 13
per cent dividend in cash.
These dividends were paid out OF
the tariff. The bloated fortunes Of
the spindle aristocracy Of New Eng
land are gouged by the tariff out OF

WICKERSHAMeIN ERROR
INADEQUATE DEFENSE or TAFT's
TRUST POLICY.
Decision In Northern Securities Case
Affected Only Forms, Not Sub
stance, Of Control.

Win de1enSo OF the Ta1t pollcy OF
dealing with the trust question. He
recites what has been done by the pres
ent administration In the way OF pros
ecuting offending corporations under
the Sherman antitrust law. pointing
to the court decisions secured In favor
of the government, as II that were all
that need be said on the subject.
Mr.. Wickersham cites the decision
of the United States Supreme court
In the case of the Northern Securities
company. The holding corporation
that was formed for the purpose of
taking ever the ownership Of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads, built as competitors, was
not allowed by the courts to go ahead
with its program. However, COM
petition between the two companies
was not thereby restored The con-
troll of the two properties ss still sub
stantially the same as IL would have
been under ownership vested In the
Northern Securities company. The
two railroad systems are operated In
harmony.
In commenting further on the situa-
ton Mr.. Wickersham naively re-
marks: 1T is true that the stocks
Of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railroad companies sold in the
market after the dissolution at higher
prices than before, but the peril that
was averted was the effect Of the pow
er of few men over the transporta-
tion facilities of the country. The
decision also established as legal
proposition that it was violation of
the Sherman law or of any other fed
eral statute for the same individuals
to be owners in like proportions Of
the stock of two competing COM
panies."
Only the forms of control-not the
substance-were affected by the de-
cision in the Northern Securities liti-
cation. AS is inevitable in the case
of public utility concerns, the rail-
roads are coming into more harmon
lous relation with one another every
year. Rate wars are scarcely men
toned any more. While the railroads
thus act in harmony public control
over them is far less effective than 1t
would be made il their business were
frankly recognized by the government
as natural monopoly. Mr.. Wicker
sham fails utterly to draw a distinc-
tion between public utility concerns
like railroads and other business un-
dertakings that are supposed to be
conducted on a competitive basis. II
congress were to legislate anew on
the subject today it is impossible to
believe that it would fail to draw this
distinction.
The error made by Mr.. Wickersham
is not in defending the litigation car
ried on by his department, but in as
Stunning that more litigation Of the
same kind offers a solution Of the
trust question. 1t was we'll enough
in the past to conduct prosecutions,
in order to discover what useful qua
lities this procedure might develop.
But in the light of experience thus
gained 1t is folly to maintain that the
Sherman antitrust law Is all right as
1t stands and does not require moditi'
cation.

OF the fiscal year ending June 80,

trend of railway net revenue has

The summary for April, 1912, shows
that net operating revenue was less
than for April, 1911, by s6,026,440,
equivalent per mile of line to 1873, or

revenue, which in the aggregate
amounted to s56.362,945, averaged

each day of April of last year. This

DIMINISHING RAILWAY RETURNS

Confidence in the ability of a rail-
way company properly to continue its
operations and adequately to main,
tain and extend its facilities depends
in greatest measure upon its net
operating revenue. That is what is
left of the receipts from traffic con.
stituting the total operating revenue,
after the operating expenses have
been met. AS the mileage of the
railways tends to increase year by
year, an accurate measure is obtain
ed of the operating revenues, operat-
enue by ascertaining what they have
amounted to for each mile. 1t may
be, for example, as was the case in
March, that while in the aggregate
net operating revenue has increased,
it has decreased when measured per
mile of line.
Monthly summaries of the reve-
nues and expenses of the steam rail-
ways of the United States have been
compiled by the bureau of railway
economics from the reports filed
month by month by the railways with
the Interstate Commerce Commiss-
sion, for the twenty-five months from
July, 1910 to April 1912, the latest
month for which returns are avail
able. Net operating revenue per mile
of line for the railways as whole
in comparison with the correspond
ing months of the previous year de-
creased in eighteen of these months,
and increased in but four. The de-
crease per mile of line per month
was as great in amount as $53, and
as great in ratio as Is per cent.
The greatest increase for any one
of the four months showing increas-
es was $31, or AL per cent. This
was in February, 1912, and was ex-
ceptional as this month contained
one more day than February, 1911.
The highest average net operating
revenue per mile of line for any
one month of this period was $4O9.
the lowest $203.
Seven of the ten months from
July 1911 to April, 1912, show de-
creases in net operating revenue
per mile of line as compared with
the corresponding months Of the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1911; and
eleven of the months of the fisacl
year which ended June 30, 1911,
showed decreases in comparison with
the respective corresponding months

New York, July S.-A call to the
people of the United States who are
in sympathy with the National pro-
gres2ive movement" to send dele
gates to a national convention in
day by Senator J. NJ Dixon OF Mon.
taua. Roosevelt's campaign manager.
The call is signed by members of
the committee chosen at a meeting
held in Chicago and also includes
signatures of Roosevelt followers in
forty states
The territories have no place in
a national convention and will not
be considered" declared Mr.. Dixon
in commenting upon the signatures.
AS FOR the missing eight states, the
most of them probably will send del.
egates, although they have not taken
part in the call.
Maine, for instance, postponed any
definite action because there is now
a strong campaign on in the prima-
ries with sympathy running in ia
vor with the progressive movement.
Delaware, North Carolina, Arkansas,
and Nevada probably will take part
in the convention. Mississippi and
South Carolina may possibly be uu-
represented.
The call lays down no rules as
to methods of choosing delegates,
since each state will be expected to
select it's delegates by its own para
phernalia The representation will
be cut down to just one-hah 'Cit
that of the previous conventions. This
was considered advisable since this
convention is to be notably delib
erative body and Will certainly be
con. posed of a class of men alto
gether different from those who usu-
ally attend conventions. In all prob
ability the convention will adopt the
name, National Progressive for the
new party hut can not say defi-
nlLely what will be done. Thus far
no issues have been authoritatively
stated and of course the platform it.

breach in the party can be healed.
These men include members OF

lures which will elect senators,
state and county officers and party
candidates. If the movement to pc,
tition Mr. Taft to withdraw succeeds
in gaining any volume, it is said
these same men, in the interest OF
party harmony may ask Colonel
| Roosevelt also to withdraw as a
prospective candidate for an indie
pendent nomination and permit 6
compromise selection of some man
ager able to handle both factions o.
the party. 1t is the desire of the
promoters of the scheme that a de-
cision shall be reached before Aug
ust 5, when the Roosevelt faction
plans to hold convention in Chi
cago
The circulation of petitions, it was
declared Monday, will be started
within a week. 1t was said the
movement would begin spontaneous

now are circulating blank forms of
petitions and appointing supervisors,
who in turn will engage canvass
ers to solicit the signatures of re-
publcans. The authors OF the plan
expect to offer to practically every
republican voter in the United States
chance to express his opinion of
Mr.. Taft's candidacy.

The movement is in the hands Of
several well known members of con-
gress. They are being aided by
many of the extreme Roosevelt re-
publicans. The enlistment of the
national progressive organization in
the movement has been sought and
it was stated Monday that Senator
Dixon's organization is willing to CO.
operate.
Information that the petitions We're
to be put before the voters leaked
out Monday. No particular person
is authority for the statement and
members of congress concerned were
unwilling to stand sponsors for it
until the movement is under way.
In the circulation of the anti-Taft
petitions an effort will be made to
get them signed by organization re-
publicans and others who have stood
with the president, as well as by
citizens who have occupied neutral
ground. There will be no special
effort to get progressive republican
signatures as it is believed that to
confine the petitions to that faction
would encompass the defeat Of the
Those behind the plan say one OF
it's first results will be to let Mr..
Taft know If there are any consid-
erable number of regular republicans
who believe he should step aside
