DISQUALIFICATION
of Our Industries
ny CLYDE n. TAvEHER,
Member OF Congress.

Washington correspondence of The Times.
Washington, April 7.-One hun
dred dollars annually! This is the
amount the crime of overcapitaliza-
tion, or watered stocks, costs every
American family!
This statement flows easily from
the pen, but it can he best demon
strated by little arithmetic.
Various prominent financial stu
dents and authorities are RESPONSE
bic for the statement, and their con
illusions are wholly sustained by re-
ports Of the United States Commits
sion and the published figures Of
the National Corporation Tax Re.
turns, that about $50, 600, 600 200 of
the stocks Of our industrial or tariff
trusts represent only water.
On this stock, dividends OF about
81 900, 600, 900 are being paid yearly,
amounting to approximately SIS Il
person or nearly 500 an American
family!
This 81 800 900 900 is not picked up
out Of the streets. Where, then,
does II 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 COM
modities, or in railroad or other
public service corporations, that
does not impose burdens upon the
consumers and producers of this
country.
The above figures, which may be
accepted as fairly conservative in
view Of the fact that United States
Senator LafOllete and various 9TH
er students OF the question assert
that the amount OF watered stock is
more than double the amount esti-
mated above, mean this: That an
average family In this country il
paying n tax of 800 year In sub
porting the over-capitalization Of
our industries. Can there remain
any doubt, then, as TO over-capitali-
zation's being one reason, sister
reason to high tariff, for the ever
increasing cost of living?
Watered stock is not only one of
the prime causes for increased prices
OF commodities, hut 1t is also an i'm
portant cause of the present unsat.
isfactory condition OF labor. To
pay these dividends on watered
stock, the trust Inagnates must eth
er hold down wages abnormally low,
or raise prices artificially high. The
fact Is they are doing both.
DISQUALIFICATION, therefore, is
obviously one Of the most import
ant problems confronting the Ameri-
can people today. Politicians, for
some reason, refer to II less than
they should. The subject ought to
be one OF the foremost political is.
sues.
Five hundred glaring illustrations
OF the crime Of over-cspitalization
could be cited. They would average
like this: The Chicago Il Alton was
capitalized at S30,00O,OOO. When
turned over TO the purchasing syn
dictate In 1899 It was capitalized at
s94 200, 200.
The people are not going to forever
permit the Perkins and the Morgans
and other financiers to strap upon
their backs the burdens of these
en- ormous over-capitalizations,
which constitute one of the principal
causes of the increase in the cost of
living.

President Wilson is no respecte
of precedents and traditions that
have nothing but mere forms OF
usage to back them up. Instead OF
sending a printed message to Con.
gress last Tuesday to be droned
out by the clerks of the Senate and
House, he went over to the Capitol
and delivered in person his mes
sage to Congress III the House on
the proposed tariff legislation for
which the extra session was con.
vened. lie has consulted and ad.
vised with the leaders of his party
in both branches of Congress in
regard to the tariff and other
needed legislation, and it seems to
be his purpose to get into close
touch with every member of that
body aud to work with them for
such legislation as he believes the
people demand and the country
needs. From all indications thus
far, his is going to be an open,
democratic administration, taking
the people into his confidence and
doing away with the frills OF red
tape as much as possible.

good buildings.

To those that have never seen
day fire works the stunt will be a
novel surprise indeed. Each
shot consists of bomb about the
size, shape and color of an egg
plant. A hole is made in the
ground about a foot deep, the
bomb placed in same and COW
cred with earth, the long fuse is
lighted and the trick is done.
The inside of these bombs is
filled with various tissue paper
designs, such as flags, animals
and many other designs which
shoot high into the air, where
they unfold. This feature alone
will be well worth seeing.
At the meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening the
Frontier Committee brought the
attention of the city dads" to
the condition of the present
grand stand and grounds and
begged that the council take
steps whereby the city could
purchase suitable grounds for a
fine park and grandstand and
upon the recommendation of the
committee the City Dads" will
appoint a committee to look af-
ter this matter and report at the
next regular meeting.

open Sept. End, 1913. During
the past summer many changes
have been made in the equip
ment and other phases of the
public school work. A generous
high school equipment fund was
paid to the local high school dis
trict by the Hon. G.. O. Case,
state superintendent of schools,
and as result of the unremit-
ting efforts of the local board of
education we now find the local
high school one of the best
equipped schools of it's type in
the state. Additions to the
equipment fund that were paid
for by the state were as follows:
Manual training shop, $500.
| Manual training benches, $3.50. :
Manual training tools, $3.50. :
Domestic science equipment,
1925; Physice laboratory, $500. f:
Chemistry laboratory, $500; Bi-
ology laboratory, 5000; Two
Underwood typewriters, 1900. +:
Eight bookkeeping DESKS; Up
keep and Maintenance, 500.
With the definite knowledge
that the state now pays a large
part of the maintenance of the
high school; and that state funds
may be used for no other pllr-
pose the local board found that it
would be possible to do some
much needed repair work to the
two public school buildings. The
roofs have been Overhauled and
all necessary repairs made. The
damage done by the recent fire
is now being repaired by a local
contractor.
STATE FREE TEXT BOOKS
It will be of great interest to
all parents to know that Ari-
zona's much herlal ded free text
book law is now in effect. All
books needed for the coming
year are now in the hands of the
board Of education, and are be
ing numbered and receipted for
at the present time. Free text
books will be loaned to all grade
school students from grades one
to eight inclusive. The last
legislature amended the original
law so that the texts do not be-
come the property of the child,
but of the school district; also
that any defacements, marks,
ETC., must be made good by the
parents of the holder of the
book. High school texts are not
furnished, but must be purchased
as formerly, with the following
exceptions, which are included
in the free text allowance:
