Substantial Buying of Dividend Pay

BY W. 6. NICHOLAS

New York, February 15.-(Special)-
Never since the day IT was born has the
stock exchange been in a state Of greater
turmoil. 1t is being dragged over the
Goals and bludgeoned by merciless enc
mics and critics and is in fair way tc
set what is coming to tia delayed and
much merited course of discipline II
las been guilty of many sins and mis-
.emeanor and until now has paid lofty
disregard TO attack and criticism. Il
has been a law unto itself and has arro-
eantly assumed to hold the position oi
being above and beyond the laws govern
ing the rest of mankind.
1t has been deaf, dumb and blind tc
every suggestion Of reform in its method
and OF changed attitude towards the
public. II is having a great awakening
and is under the harrow as never before
The greatest abuse of the public by the
exchange has been touched upon so fal
Very lightly but it is one of the things
which will be used with deadly effect be-
fore the agitation is over. 1T is the per-
alstent recklessness of the exchange au-
thorities in listing questionable securities
and thereby giving them the moral stand
ing of open Endorsement and support. Sc
long as a security promises to be ac-
tive. and fruitful of big commissions, the
question OF its merit receives scant con-
slderation, or none at all. The exchange
las never acknowledged the slightest re-
sponsibility to the public for securities
that have gained its approval to the eN-
tent of being traded in on the floor.
Robbed By Doubtful Securities
Fine and time again the public has
been flagrantly robbed by the Introduction

tremely doubtful value-stoeks that have
been lSited up into the clouds and by

Favors an Income Tax

II was pointed out to the senator that
the income tax had been ratified by three
fourths of the states and was certainly a
progressive policy, and he was asked how
he stood on that question.
Il have never opposed the principle OF
an income tax Theoretically It is the
farest Of all taxes said the senator.
/, THE very rich man should pay to the
public treasury larger percentage of taN
on his income than man with a smaller
income Still the income tax should he
spread over the general body of taxpayers
without an exemption which would be SO
high that the great majority viii pay no
tax of this character. and thereby have
no sense of responsibility in voting as to
the public expenditures.
so far as any proposed income tax
bill in the next Congress is concerned,
continued the senator, 1T is so closely
interviewer with the democratic policy OF
free trade, to which, of course, the repub-
liean party is absolutely opposed, that
II is impossible to tell what course Will
be adopted by any republican. Should adj
ditional revenue be needed, | have no OBJ
lection TO the income tax, because 1t Is
an income tax. and | would prefer 1t In
many ways to the federal corporation tax
provided in the Payne Aldricf law

Is Also a Conservationist

Referring TO conservation. which is con-
sdered the acid test of a progressive,
Senator Penrose said; Il do not wish to
speak too personally, but | may say since
early boyhood l Travelled tile western
country as few men have Travelled it, On
hunting trips I rode over most OF Mon
tana Idaho and Wyoming long before the
country was much settled. This gave me
practical and effective realization of con-
servation. As result / favor wise legis-
lation for conservation of our natural re-
sources. Just how water powers should
be conserved must be determined by ex-
pertinent. investigation and development.
The question involves state and federal
Jurisdiction. Regulation must not reach
the point which will prohibit financial in
vestnent, but at the same time the rights
of the general public must be protected %
Anyone reading this statement of the
senator can at once see his position. il
Is so very clearly expressed, and at the
same time 1t Is progressive.
Another progressive policy is the pop
ular election of United States senators,
which Senator Penrose has consistently
opposed. The senator said, however: mo
body would want the laws for popular pri-
maries repealed. ! consistently voted
against the proposed amendment to the
constitution for direct election of senators
by the people instead of the legislatures.
But my attitude on tfllS mas Deen largely
the result of my training at college and
as a lawyer. It is evident that direct
election of senator's will soon be the law
of the land, and 7 suppose in the long
run the same result will follow; public
sentiment Will prevail as before
The senator is in favor of letting the
people decide about woman's suffrage.
What Is Reactionary?
Thus does Senator Penrose Justify his
claim to progressiveism. IL he has made
good his case. It would be highly inter-
esting for him to point out who is and
what is reactionary.
Representative Henry r. Rainey OF IL
linois member of the ways and means
committee, says: IAN democrats are pro-
gressives. Unless they are progressives
they are not democrats" He adds that
"a rogressive-republcan is q republican
who realizes that the republican party has
outlived its usefulness, and whose con-
science tells him he ought to be a demo-
crat, and who has not the courage TO
openly sever his alliance with the re-
publican party. lie therefore simply al
lies himself with the so-called progressive
wing of the republican party, and does
what he can to insure defeat for that
party If he is a real progressive he will
in time develop enough courage to join the
democratic party: until he does this he Is
not entitled to recognition at the hands
OF the real progressves-the democrats"

LINCOLN AND FISCUS

The dreaded hog cholera that has
been killing scattering herds of hogs
over the neighborhood for the past year
and half has at last got under full
Roadway and the past month has seen
hundreds of the animals that have
made Iowa famous turn up their toes
and die. Farmers have lost all the way
from fifteen to nearly hundred head
or in other words a cash equivalent OF
from three hundred to two thousand
dollars. Henry Paulsen lost six and
another man fifteen in one day. II
seems as though the disease has beer
more prevalent since the heavy rains OF
a month ago. The heavy rainfall pro,
badly washed all disease germs into
streams, pools and ponds where hogs
are usually found thus giving them the
disease in nearly an incurable form.
When a herd is once attacked it nearly
seals their doom in spite of skilled
to make is to prevent it from spreading
into the neighbors droves. Most farmers
build fires and cremate the hogs which
is the safest way to stamp out the
disease. Hogs will probably have to be
imported next year to re.stock up the
farms That will be a difficult task as
the conditions are quite general through
out the state. Those farmers that
escape with large herds will probably
be able to sell in few months at ex-
cessively high figures.

Boys Must Quit Use Of Tobacco

Under the terms of a law that be-
came effective July 4, the Iowa school
boys must cut out the use of tobacco in
any way shape or form or quit school.
In the past boys have been in the habit
of indulging in the use of tobacco as
soon as they are a safe distance from
school The new law makes smoking
or chewing at any time by any school
boy punishable by suspension or expul-
sion. The law is one of the many that
passed the last Legislature without un-
due publicity and it is believed by
school authorities that it will have the
effect of reducing the consumption of
tobacco by boys of the public schools.

America rode in this division. Their pink coats and their high hats ap- parently were not thought to jar Jeffersonian simplicity" from it's seat. Pink coats were worn on the hunting field in Jefferson's day and in Jefferson's state.
 There were 1000 Princeton students in the civic section of the parade. Many of them wore orange and black sweaters and they were somewhat noisy though perfectly proper. Stu dents from seventeen other colleges and universities were among the marchers.
 Spectators Cheer Constantly.
 All along Pennsylvania avenue, from the capitol to point four block be- yond the White House, the spectators were massed in lines ten deep The cheering was constant and Woodrow Wilson cannot complain that the cere- monies attending his induction into office were not accompanied by ap- parently heartfelt acclaim of the peo- pie over whom he is to rule for at least four years.
 Every window in every building on Pennsylvania avenue which is not oc. cupied for office purposes was rented weeks ago for a good round sum of money. Every room overlooking the marching parade was taken by as many spectators as cound find a want age point from which to peer through the window panes. The roofs of the buildings were covered with persons willing to stand for hours in March day to see the wonders of the inaugu- ral parade, and many of them partic. ularly glad of an opportunity to go home and to say that after many years waiting they had seen a Democratic president inaugurated
 The parade passed the reviewing stand of President Wilson, who stood uncovered while the marchers saluted 1 When the last organization had marched by dusk was coming down The hundreds of thousands of electric | lamps were lighted and Washington at night became along it's main thor oughfare as bright as Washington ai day.

sion found expression in steady and abundantly noisy acclaim.
 President Taft and President-elect Wilson were escorted down the ave nue by the National Guard troop of cavalry of Essex county, New Jersey. The carriage in which rode Vice President-elect Marshall and Presi- dent pro tempore Bacon of the United States senate was surrounded by the members of the Black Horse troop of the Culver Military academy of Indi- ana. This is the first time in the his tory of inaugural ceremonies that a guard of honor has escorted a vice president to the scene of his oath talk ing.
 Parade a Monster Affair.
 The military and the civil parade, a huge affair which stretched it's length for miles along the Washington streets, formed on the avenues radiat- ing from the capitol. After President elect Wilson had become President Wilson and Vice-President-elect Mar shall had become Vice-President Marshall, they went straightway from lu6 CdpllOl lO Ll6 W ullt I1OQSS dl4o thence shortly to the reviewing stand in the park at the mansions front.
 The parade, with Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, United States army, as it's grand marshal, started from the capi- tol grounds to move along the avenue to the White House, where it was to pass in review. The trumpeter sound ed forward march" at the instant the signal was flashed from the White house that in fifteen minutes the new ly elected president and commander in-chief of the armies and navies of the United States would be ready to review This troops"
 It was thought that the parade might lack some of the picturesque features which particularly appealed to the people on former occasions. There were Indians and rough riders here not only when Roosevelt was inaugu- rated, but when he went out of off ce and was succeeded by William H Taft. The parade, however, in honor of MT. Wilson seemed to be. pictur- esque enough in it's features to appeal to the multitudes. They certainly made noise enough over it.

 For several nights Pennsylvania ave nue has been a glory of light. Today 1t was glory of color, movement and music. here are 30O,OO0 inhabitants of the city of Washington.

 Woodrow Wilson asked that "Jeffer- things which had to do with his in auguration. The command for Jeffer- Sonian simplicity seems to be suscep- tible to elastic construction.

 Throngs Vociferous With Joy.
 The inhibition of the inaugural ball and of the planned public reception at the capitol had no effect as bar to the attendance at this ceremony of changing presidents. Masses were here to see, and other masses were here to march. There was a greater demon Btration while the procession was pass ing than there was four years ago.
