CLUB WANTS TAXES
LOWERED IN COUNTY
Commercial Organization to
Take Matter Up Within
Short Time.
RESOLUTION PASSED
Indorsing George Seidel For
Appointment on Penal
Farm Commission.
RESOLUTION PASSED

With the penal farm question set
tied and the Hakins lake project I'M
der construction the Richmond Com
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 -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 OF
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 las,
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 pena
farm bill.
The fact that more young men dc
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.

OF ALL INDUSTRIES
This Is Issue AS Big AS the
Tariff-Cost Per
Family.
BY CYIDE n. TAvENNER
Member Of Congress

HSUHbSt "
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 i 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 United 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
s1,50o,0O0.0 900 are being paid yearly,
amounting to approximately SIS a per-
son or nearly 500 an American fam
fly!
This $1,5o0,O00,O0o 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
tons, that does not impose burdens
upon the consumers and producers of
this country.
The above figures. which may be ao
cepted as fairly conservative in view
Of the fact that United States Senator
La Toilette and various other students
Of the question assert that the amount
the amount estimated above, mean
this: That an average family in this
country is paying tax of 800 a year
In supporting the over-capitalization
of our industries. Can there remain
any doubt, then, as to over-capitalfza
tons being one reason, a 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 OF
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. The fact is they are doing
both
Disqualification, therefore, is oh
viously one of the most imp ortant 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 s30,oo0,OoO. When turned
over to the purchasing syndicate in
1899 it was capitalized at $4,000, 900
The people are not going to forever
permit the Perkins and the Morgan's
and others financiers to strap upon
their backs the burdens of these enor
nous oveRcapitalizations, which con
stitute one of the principal causes Of
the increase in the cost of living.

"RAWEST' KIND OF
BALLOT STUFF|NG
Kerr Talks on Suffrage of
Mexico Under Madero
Regime.

CHICAGO, March 25.-Suffrage in
Mexico under the Madero regime had
the rawest kind of ballot box stuff
ing" ever known in the United States
outclassed, according to statements
made to the Chicago association of
commerce by r. J. Kerr, local at
torney in practice also in Mexico
City.
THE Madcro 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, I want to vote had his
vote registered. Moreover, if his en-
ployes 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
ficers 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
ed Gustavo, claimed to hold the key
to the treasury house of Mexico; any
one who wanted a concession, a 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 $10,000,0O0 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: I want TWEEN
gave 1t to him and he speht it, and
when they asked him what for. he
replied: None of your business 1t
was Congress who made these re,
quests. the lawful representatives of
the people, elected to disburse the
public funds"

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 il congress
voted for the highway appropriation
he would ask to have 1t 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
a 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,
Or. Charles Bond, Charles w. Jordan,
DR.. ]. M. Wampler, Lawrence Bertsch,
R. j. E. Weller and other members
of the club attempted to show Mr..
Gray that the National road would
be an impetus and a stimulant to bus
lpess and would be 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.

Lord Rosebery's Talk TO Boys.

The decay OF manners was the subject of
au address by Lord Rosel cry to the boys of
the ROYAL Grammar SchUo, Gnilford, in pres
enling the prizes at Speech Day on Monda,.
He referred to a school statute framed 300
years ago that courtesy and good manners
were to be established by all good means"
and proceeded:
The men of the 18th century were, | sus-
pect, the %grcntcst b eed Of Englslmen ever
produced, partly because they possessed
good manners then selves and partly because
they realised the enormous importance of
courtesy and good manners i'll the common
transactions of llfe.
| think there has been q decay of manners
in England and cotland and all over the
world.
Good appearance and good manners have
an enormous commercial value in life.
Good appearance, you may say, is not ut our
command. | do not agree. Good looks are
not at our command. They are the gift of
the gods, but IL good, straightforward, manly
appearance, an appearance without self-con-
sciousness, which is the most disagreeable
feature, perhaps, of all appearance, is Within
the command Of every boy.
Manners are even more important than
appearances. Say three boys are applying
for the same situation. One boy may not
have the abilities of either Of the other two,
but if be has good manners, if, instead Of
granting an answer like the first one. or
giving only an inarticulate sound like the
second, he gives q clear, respectful-not

STEERING SHIPS FROM SHORE.

The following account Of II recent expert
mrut, which seem to be an extension 10 the
wireless Of methods already applied to the
steering 10y WIRE OF torpedoes, IS given by
MIR. V. j. Youmans III HE New York eve

Tor was the subject OF the experiments:
The wizard ashore appears to have been
Dir. Lirpa of the Gesclischaft fur dlahtlose
Tele graphic, OF Berlin. His apparatus was
apparently similar in principle to that
described by Wirth two years ago, and illus
trated ON u small scale both at Berlin and
Nurnberg. II is SAID that Dir. Ljrp4 was
able to change the course of the Imperator
against the VIII of her pilot, and could also
prevent the latter from carrying out the
manoeuvres ordered by the captain.
At first sight it might seem that the pow
er to interfere with the steering Of a mann
moth liner Tor batt!e-ship) from Il shore
station or fort was II thing Of vast naval
Importance and almost limitless possibilities.
In naval battles and for coast deteuse such Il
power would be Of iuconceivable value. A
moments consideration makes it clear, how
ever, that such control must depend upon
the presence IN shipboard of delicate
receiving apparatus connected in a porticn-
lar way with the steering mechanism. At
any rate, it is highly improbable, to say the
least, that Dr.. Lirpn's machines could make
any serious imp ession on the ordinary cleo
trical apparatus of II liner.
AS it is hardly likely that the enemies
ships would go to the trouble of equipping
their pilot-houses with DR.. L rpa's receiving
apparatus, the practical value of his discoy-
cry is likely to be limited to the control Of
long-distance torpodoes, and perhaps to a
few peaceful applications -Outlooh, aug.

ELECTRIC WEIGHT EDUCER.
Painless Agitation OF The Muscles.

Professor f. Naselschmidty the inventor
Of the famous ''diathelmy treatment" who
is on q visit to this country, on Wednesday
lrfoI med two operations with the dathtI~
mic apparatus Installed at the London Hos
pital.
The treatment is used both in medicine
and in surgery. The medicinal tYeutment
consists Of passing electric rays of Il very
high temperature through the diseased part.
II the surgical form the current reaches the
tissues from the edge Of a knlfeIike applica-
tor and acts as II bloodltss cautery. In two
minutes the professor removed a large blood
tumour on the inside of the cheek, inopera-
Bile by ordinary methods on account OF the
possible fatal loss OF blood which might have
followed. The second operation was the re-
moval Of IN extensive lupus patch(a chroniS
form of tuberculosis of the shiny, which I'M
dr. the ordinary methods of treatment wolld
have taken many months to cure.
Professor Na9elschmidt has also discover
@ u new electric current which, when applied
+, Il patient, causes rhythmical muscular con
fractions, extremely intense but quite pain
less. Since the result Of such muscular con-
fractions IS theimmrdiate using up of all the
spare fat IN the tissues, Professor Nagel-
schmidt has used the current us the basis of
d scientific treatment for the reduction of
obesity.
Forty patients have been subjected to this
new treatment. Between them Professor
Nagelschmidt concluded. 'they have been
deprived Of a total of 500tb. of uuwanted
fat.-IMd
