INSTRUMENTATION OF OUR

Especial to The Democrat.) - one
hundred dollars annually! This -els
the amount the crime Of overcapltalll-
cation. tor watered stocks, costs every
American family!
This statement flows easily from
the pen, but it can be best demon
strated by little arithmetic.
Various prominent financial stu
dents and authorities are responsible
for, the statement, and their conclu-
sions are wholly sustained by reports
Of the United States Commission and
the published figures Of the National
Corporation Tax Returns, that about
$50, 900, OOO,O 900 Of the stocks of our
Industrial or tariff trusts represent
only water.
on this stock, dividends Of 81 ,5OO-
900, 900 are being paid yearly, amount
ing to approximately SIS a person or
nearly 500 an American family!
Ahis 81, 500 ,O0O, 900 is not picked up
out Of the streets Where, then, does
it come from? The answer is: from
the pockets Of the consume s. There
is not a dollar Of water" or infla-
ton in the capitaliz ton Of corpora
tons which deal in commodi ties, or
in railroad or other public service
corporations, that does not impose
burdens upon the consumers and pro
ducers of this country. -
The above figures, which may pc
accepted as fairly conservative IN
view OF the fact that United States
Senator La Toilette and vatious 9th,
err students OF the question assert
that the amount Of Watered stock Is
more than double the amount estl'
mated above, mean this That an .av.
erage family in this country Is pay

living
Watered stock is not only. one OF
the prime causes for increased prices
OF commodities, but it is also an i'm.
portant cause. of the present uns ats
factory condition of labor. To pay
these dividends on watered stock, the
trust magnates must either hold dow
wages abnormally low, or raise, prices

Oyer-capitalization, therefore, is OBJ
viously one of the most important
problem confronting the American
people today Politicians, for some
reason, 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-capitalizatio1
could be cited: They would average

One Hundred Thousand Workers Out
of Employment.
Chicago, Dec. Cover 100000 men
and women wage-earners in Chicago
are idle, according to statement
from John Fitzpatrick of the Chicago
Federation of Labor.
Fitzpatrick said that this estimate
was the result of reports made to
him by labor agents and others in
touch with the problem of unemploy-
ment.
AS result of this condition Profess
sor Charles r. Henderson, chairman
of the city commission on employ
ment, will ask Mayor Harrison to pre-
sent to the council some plan to re-
lieve the distress which he believes
certain to follow existing conditions.
Of the total number of idle Profess
sor Henderson estimated that 100000
are the summer workers, whose occu>
patton usually fails on the approach
Of winter. The balance, according to
labor leaders, results from the cur
tailment of labor in the steel and al
lied industries.

Common Sence Decisions

The Minnesota supreme court is
substituting more and more common
sense for the outworn legal docu-
ments that have blocked the wheels
of Justice for generations past In
the decisions handed down Friday,
the court held that a conversation
with a dead man before his death
was admissible as evidence in GER
tain cases. A man named Finding
had struck boy who died soon af-
forwards and before his death, told
the county attorney that Finding
was the man who had injured him.
The county attorney testified to
this, and Finding got forty years in
prison under the habitual criminal
act. The court holds that the act
is constitutional and that the evil
dence was admissible.
In the same lists of decisions the
court holds that an indictment is
valid even thought the crime charge
ed was not committed at the time
which the document specifies. Mar
garet Dufor was indicted for run
ming disorderly house, the indict-
ment charging that she conducted
the place between May II and June
3, in Polk county. The evidence sub
mitted to the jury related entirely
to prior dates, but the jury found a
verdict of guilty. A few years ago,
the court would have promptly set
such a verdict aside on technical
grounds but in this case, the SUI
preme court finds that the time was
not essential so long as guilt was
proven and upholds the verdict.
Another decision handed down at
the same time is to the effect that
a Minnesota summons made in an
other state is valid
The courts are. slowly reaching
the point where they are willing to
brush aside moss-grown rules of
evidence and get down to the ques-
ton whether man is innocent or
guilty.-Fergus Falls Journal.
