CLUB WANTS TAXES
LOWERED IN COUNTY
Commercial Organization to
Take Matter Up Within
Short Time.
RESOLUTION PASSED
Indorsing George Seidel For
Appointment on Penal
Farm Commission.
RESOLUTION PASSED

With the penal farm question set
tied and the Hakins lake project un-
der construction the Richmond Com
mercial club will next consider the
proposition of how the taxes in
Wayne county may be lowered with
out materially affecting the public i'm
provements of the city.
Every one owing just taxes should
be made to pay" says S. E. Swayne,
president of the club.
The question of how delinquent tax
payers can be made to pay their just
taxes or how sequestered taxes can
be found may be discussed by the
club.
The three-mile-road law is not con-
sidered fair one by the officials of
the club as it is now being absued
President Swayne said. According to
the law a road may be built in the
rural districts three miles in length
leading into Richmond and the tax
payers of the city are compelled to
help pay the cost of the Improvement.
The residents of the rural districts
and it is not deemed fair.
According to President Swayne the
roads are not merely macadam or
gravel improved roads but in some
cases curbing and cutters are also be-
ing built making an unnecessary ex.
pense to the city tax payers. The
tax increase table recorded by Coun-
ty Auditor Bowman was discussed by
the officers of the club last night.
A resolution endorsing George Sci
del for the appointment as one of the
trustees of the Penal Farm commits.
sion, was unanimously passed by the
club.
Secretary Jordan and President
Swayne interviewed the governor last
week and recommended that Mr.. Sci
del be appointed on the commission
Mr.. Seidel was chairman of the origi.
nal committee appointed three years
ago by President Swayne to look into
the advisability of framing a penal
farm bill
The fact that more young men dc
not belong to the Commercial club is
regretted by the members. Chairman
John Mccarthy of the membership
committee reported that a campaign
may be started to obtain larger mem
bership of young men.

"RAWEST' KIND OF

Kerr Talks on Suffrage OF
Mexico Under Madero
Regime.

CHICAGO, March 25.-Suffrage in
Mexico under the Madero regime had
the rawest kind of ballot box stuff

made to the Chicago association of
commerce by r. ]. Kerr, a local at
torney in practice also in Mexico
City.
The Madero slogan was effective
suffrage and no reelection" he said
But what did Madero do? Twenty
four of the twenty-six governors elect
ed after Madero went in as president
were elected by the same methods
that Madero criticized in Diaz. The
election officer had his book in the
election booth and anyone who came
up and said, I want to vote had his
vote registered. Moreover. II his EN-.
ployes could not come over that day
and vote, he voted tbr two or three
thousand employees. 1t is known that
in some cases the election officers did
not think enough votes had been re-
recorded to satisfy their superior Of
ficers and they put down as many as
, they thought ought to vote, whether
they did or not
The first of the Maderos to be kill

to the treasury house of Mexico; any
one who wanted a concession, con-

OF ALL INDUSTRIES
This Is Issue AS Big AS the
Tariff-Cost Per
Family.
BY CYLDE n. TAVENNER
Member Of CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, March 25.- One
hundred dollars annually! This is the
amount the crime of overcapitaliza-
ton, or watered stocks, costs every
American family!
This statement flows easily from the
pen, but it can be best demonstrated
by little arithmetic.
Various prominent financial stud
ents and authorities are responsible
for the statement and their conclus-
ions are wholly sustained by reports
of the United States Commission and
the published figures of the National
Corporation Tax Returns, that about
$40, 900, 000, 900 of the stocks Of our in
dustrial or tariff trusts represent on
ly water.
On this stock, dividends of about
$500, 100000 are being paid yearly.
amounting to approximately $1S per
son or nearly 800 an American fam
lily!
This $500, 100000 is not picked up
out of the streets. Where, then, does
it come from? The answer is: from
the pockets of the consumers. There
is not a dollar of water" or initiation
in the capitalization of corporations
which deal in commodities, or in rail-
road or other public service corpora
lions, that does not impose burdens
upon the consumers and producers of
this country.
The above figures, which may be acr
cepted as fairly conservative in view
of the fact that United States Senator
La Toilette and various other students
of the question assert that the amount
of watered stock is more than double
the amount estimated above, mean
this: That an average family in this
country is paying tax of $500 a year
in supporting the over-capitalization
of our industries. Can there remain
any doubt, then, as to over-capitallza-
tion's being one reason, a sister reas-
! on to high tariff, for the ever increas
ing cost of living?
Watered stock is not only one of the
prime causes for increased prices OF
commodities, but it is also an import
ant cause of the present unsatisfactory
condition of labor. To pay these divi
dends on watered stock, the trust mag
mates must either hold down wages alb.
normally low, or raise prices artificial
ly high. The fact is they are doing
both.
Disqualification, therefore, is OBJ
viously one of the most important pro.
blems confronting the American peo
pie today. Politicians, for some reas
on, refer to it less than they should
The subject ought to be one of the
foremost political issues
Five hundred glazing illustrations OF
the crime of DISQUALIFICATION could
be cited. They would average like
this: The Chicago & Alton was CAPT
talized at $30,OOO,OOO When turned
over to the purchasing syndicate in
1899 it was capitalized at $4,000, 0OO
The people are not going to foreve,
permit the Perkins and the Morgan s
and others financiers to strap upon
their backs the burdens of these enor
nous CONGRATULATIONS which con
stitute one of the principal causes OF
the increase in the cost of living.

CONGRESSMAN IS
OPPOSED TO ROAD
Says the National Highway
Would Not Benefit the
Masses.

Fifty members Of the Richmond
Commercial Club attended the meet
ing last night fully expecting they
would hear Congressman Finly Gray
tell how he would fight for the pro-
posed National coast-to-coast high
way. but were disappointed as Mr..
Gray in a very frank manner told
those present that he was not in IA
vor of the project but if congress
voted for the highway appropriation
the National road which was origin
ally built and maintained by the gov
eminent.
Mr.. Gray gave as his reasons for
his stand that the rural roads needed
development and the government did
not have money enough to do both.
The development OF the roads in the
country will tend to give the farmers
better opportunity to send their
goods to market, he said. The farms
can be connected more efficiently with
the railroads and the price of food
products will be consequently lowered
according to Mr.. Gray "The Nation
al highway from coast-to-coast would
only benefit those who have automo-
biles, and l do not consider that it
would help the Masses" Mr.. Gray
said.
President Swayne of the club to-
gether with Howard Dill, Steve Kuth,
DR.. Charles Bond, Charles w. Jordan,
DR.. J. NJ Wampler. Lawrence Bertsch,
Dr.. J. E. Weller and other members
of the club attempted to show Mr..
Gray that the National road would
be an impetus and stimulant to bus
mess and would be model road after
which other roads could be copied.
One of the main features of the pro-
posed road, according to Mr. Dill,
chairman of the good roads committee
IF the club, is that Americans would
stop going abroad to spend their
money.
