Over Capitalization.

Rudolph Spreckles, the sugar king, is
of the opinion that the unrest in the
business world is due to over capitaliza-
tion. On his departure from London for
America the other day he granted an in
terview in which he said:
English bankers with whom | have
talked are satisfied with the fundamen-
tai soundness of conditions in America.
My personal opinion is that the trouble
is due to over capitalization throughout
the world. believe the United States
is in a better position than Europe, be-
cause, with our resources not yet devel-
oped and with our opportunities of ex-
pansion, we have the power to absorb
the over capitalization with less depres-
sive effects thaa other countries.
II firmly believe all the real econom-
ic factors are favorable TO the continued
prosperity of the United States. There
is no legitimate reason to fear a panic in
America. Should there be one it will be
the result of the spread of disquieting
statements by financiers with deliberate
intent.
81 have, however, such confidence in
the courage and ability of President
Wilson, that believe that he will be
able to crush any such deliberate at
tempt to foster a panic. do not be-
lieve the present tariff bill is detrimen,
tai to the country. Although | am re.
publican, and therefore believe in pro
lection, feel that tariff revision down
ward is necessary"

For The Honor of The State.

The new governor of Georgia, John NJ,
Slaton, told the audience assembled to
hear his inaugural address, that the
States appropriations must not exceed
the revenue, if a financial dishonor is To
be avoided. Whatever be the tempta-
tion to the wise citizen to spend more
than his income, he curbs his desires
and limits his expenditures according
ly," said the Governor. "A State which
desires to maintain its credit and COM
mand the respect of the people at home
and abroad, cannot do otherwise than to
observe the course of every honest
man. Besides being just, it is fitting
that the State should set the example
to the citizen which is essential to his
welfare" said the governor.
Georgia, be it known, is half million
dollars in debt.

A Dutchman'S One Per
Cent"

The moving picture shows are making
a 'Dutchman's one per CENT" accord
ing to the statisticiaus who have com
pleted figures showing the number OF
patrons, the door receipts and the total
amount invested in moving picture en-
terprises.
IL is shown that $3.50, 900, 900 persons
see the movies" in a year in the Unit
ed States, paying $3l9. 900. 900 for the
pleasure and $50, 600, 600 is invested in
the industry. Nearly 400 per cent. is
cleared upon the investment.
OF course, it is not possible to manage
theatres upon the principles that govern
moving picture houses, but when the
profits of vaudeville and moving picture
shows are considered, color or probabil.
ity is given TO the declaration of some
investigators of the theatre problem that
more democratic prices could be charg-
ed with greater profit to the producers,
and without cutting down the expense
of production or the salaries of players.

New Orleans, La.-When the New
Orleans Board of Trade passed reso'
luton to the affect that it was the
sense Of that body the Ransdell-

the entire South became united on
one plan to prevent the Mississippi
river floods and over-flOws. The peo.
pie of Louisiana will be called upon
to hold a mass meeting in New Or
leans In the immediate future for
the purpose of urging upon congress
the necessity of passing the Randsdell-
Humphreys bill.
The prevailing impression that the
people OF Louisiana were divided In
sentiment as regards the flood bills
had been regarded as the obstacle in
the way of passing the Ransdell-
Humphreys bill at the coming session
of the congress. Now that this i'm
preston has been dispelled, it is be.
lieved that the S60,000,00O levee meas.
ure will be passed, the people of the
South being united in it's support.
After the New Orleans Board OF
Trade had acted, Senator Ransdell de-
clared th&t the people of the flooded
states had the best opportunity they
have ever had for securing federal
protection from the floods. That
| echoes the statement of Representative
Mcclellan of Memphis, who stated thai

fight.
The New Orleans Board of Trade
will assemble on November s, at which
time plans will be made for the mass
