WAY HE y REh LAX ~
SHOW THE Peep.
When a street railway company
doesn't want to show its books,
there's a reason.
ThatTeason is generally water
ed bonds and stock. Il
Practically every dollar Of
stock in most street railway COM
panies is water, and in many
cases there is water in the bonds,
too.
II men invest 100000 of
real money in a street railway
they'll capitalize it at from $780,
100000 to $5O,0O0,0OO,
They get franchise from the
people, and place a value on it
way up in the. millions. Then they
issue bonds for this franchise
value, and the people who gave
them the franchise have to pay
the interest on these bonds.
Then, in addition to the water
ed bonds, they issue millions of
watered stock, and make the peo-
pie pay dividends on that.
The first thing that has to be
paid after operating expenses, is
interest on bonds. After that
come the dividends on stock.
Chicago has an arrangement
whereby the city gets S. per cent
of the net receipts. But the net
receipts mean the receipts after
the bondho1ders have taken out
interest on all of the bonds, in
Guiding the watered bonds which
were donated by the owners to
themselves.

LE THEIR BOOKS
stock, and how much easy graft
the capitalists are getting on
bonds and stock issued without
any investment of real money.
And that would show that the
company could easily pay living
wages, if it were satisfied to earn
interest and profit only on money
actually invested.
Of course, if the company is
permitted to pay first, millions of
dollars a year interest on watered
bonds and dividends on watered
stock, it can easily show that it
can't afford to pay living wages.
. The board of arbitration should
force the committee to show up
its books, and let the representa-
tives of the street railway EN-
ployes find out the actual invest
ment.
If there were nothing in the
books that the company was
afraid to have the people know,
no fuss would be made about
showing up the books.
When the company refuses to
show the books, it is proof enough
that there is something in them
that the bond and stockholders
don't want the people Of Chicago
to find out.

The next instant I was bending over
the princess hand and listening to her
words of welcome and congratulation.
When turned to Lady Helen she curt

done for one Of her own princes.

said.
And as I raised her hand and kissed

whether she meant 1t or was only

Then we went in to dinner, and here
was a surprise for me also.
1t was the same room we had break
tasted In the previous day, but now
upon the wall fronting US as we en-
tered hung a full length portrait Of an
officer In the uniform Of the red huz-
Ears. 1t was the great Henry, but 1t

Surely, outwardly at least, he was my
alter ego.
Even Courtney's astonishment pierced
his heavy equanimity. and Lady Helen
stopped sharply and gazed at the paint
ing and then at me and then at the
painting again in silent wonder, for,
although they both knew generally of
the resemblance, it needed the uniform
to bring 1t out In full effect.
