Attorney Draws Tears.

Acquittal was foreshadowed wher
one of Bixby's attorneys drew a
word picture of the millionaire de-
fendant in the midst of hs family and
caused two jurors to cry.
The case was given to the jury at

ecution and defense had argued six
hours. The verdict was returned af-
ter the jury had deliberated more
than three hours.
Bixby was charged in the indictment
with an unnameable offense against
Cleo Helen Barker.
The Indictment of BiXby was the
result of a morality crusade which
eliminated in a raid on the Jonquil

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 oyercapitaliza-
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 UNted States Commission and
the published figures of the National
Corporation Tax Returns, that about
| $50 600, 100000 of the stocks of our in
dustrial or tariff trusts represent on
ly water.
On this stock, dividends of about
| 81 500, 100000 are being paid yearly,
amounting to approximately SIS a per
son or nearly 500 an American fam
| fly!
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
tions, that does not impose burdens
upon the consumers and producers OF
this country.
The above figures, which may be &C
| cepted as fairly conservative in view
he 20 of TYpi
| 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 $1o0 year
In supporting the over-capitalization
Of our industries. Can there remain
any doubt, then, as to over-capital1za
tion's' being one reason, 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 oil
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. TIE fact is they are doins
both.
Disqualification, therefore, is OBJ
viously one of the most important pro
blems confronting the American PEG
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 over-capitalization could
be cited. They would average like
this: The Chicago & Alton was CAPT
talized at $30,O00,O00 When turned
over to the purchasing syndicate in
| 1899 it was capitalized at $4,000, 900
The people are not going to foreve,
permit the Perkins and the Morgan's
and others financiers to strap upor
their backs the burdens of these enor
| nous over-capitalizations, which con
stitute one of the principal causes OF
the increase in the cost of living.

CLUB WANTS TAXES
LOWERED IN COUNTY
Commercial Organization to
Take Matter Up Within
Short Time.
ESOLUTION PASSED
Endorsing George Seidel For
Appointment on Penal
Farm Commission.
ESOLUTION 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 a fair one by the officials of
the club as it is now being absued
President Swayne said. According to
the law 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
are not taxed for city improvements
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 do
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.

Kerr Talks on Suffrage OF
Mexico Under Madero
Regime.

made to the Chicago association of
commerce by R. ]. Kerr. local at

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, 4 want to vote had his
vote registered. Moreover, If his en-
pIoyes could not come over that day
and vote, he voted for 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
f1cers 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
cd, Gustavo, claimed to hold the key
to the treasury house Of Mexico; any
one who wanted a concession, con-
tract or a right recognized by the
government found 1t advantageous to
seek Gustavo. There were seventy
five members of the Madero family in
the employment of the Mexican gov
eminent. Uncle Ernest, Secretary of
the Treasury, spent S10,000,000 which
he had borrowed. They asked him
what he spent it for and he replied:
None of your business. Then he
went to them and said: 4 want TWEEN

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
he would ask to have it located along
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 1.-THE Nation
al highway from coast-to-coast would
only benefit those who have automo-
biles. and 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. M. Wampler, Lawrence Bertsch,
DR.. ]. 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 a 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.
