Not Over Capitalized.

The extraordinary over capitaliza =
ton which characterized most Of the
large industrial consultations of the
period, 1898 to 1901, was absent in the
case of the International Harvester
company, says Mr.. Conant. The origi-
nal capital of s12O,0O0,000 included
100000, 900 in cash and 100000 600
representing the appraisal value of
plants inventions, etc.
Excessive valuation, the commits
sioner particularly points out, was
placed upon the ore leases of the Deer
ing Harvester company. 1t was APP
praised at $7,9S3,750, estimated by Mr..
Conant to have been $7,o00,000 too
high at that time. These ore Valua-
tionS, he adds caused much dissatiS-
faction among the combining interests
themselves. especially the McCormicl<s.
1T is important to consider" the re-
port declares. that the bankers who
dominated the organization of the In
ternational Harvester company also
organized the United States Steel cor
poration. officers of which had, only
a few weeks before, in important liti-
cation then pending against that com
feet that the value of its ore, taking
lease holdings and fee indiscrmi-
nately. was $7OO. 100000. or approXi-
mately 81 per ton. Mr. Perkins, to
whom was left the appraisal of these
ore properties and who also was chair
man of the finance committee of the
steel corporation, was therefore in no
position to deny any excessive valua-
tion for this Decring ORE
The stock of the company" Com
missioner Conant says, has been
closely held ny the former interests,
the Mccormick and Dcering families
having throughout held a large ma
jority of the totals, while considerable
amounts also have been retained by
other stockholders.
This fact he continues, assumes
especial Importance in view of the
pending dissolution suit of the govern
ment against the company"
Pointing to the recent action Of the
company in splitting into two cor
porations, each with $4,000, 900 capital
stock, one retaining the old harvester
machine plants, and the other taking
over the new lin,s and foreign bust
ness. Mr.. Conant comments:
IF this is intended as part Of a
plan for ultimate dsintegraton Of the
combination, in the opinion Of the
bureau, it is unsatisfactory."

Mental Hygiene Is Now Pre-.
scribed for the Insane.

l read this extremely interesting
statement from Prof. ]. E. W. Wallin:
Irrespective of whether the cause
is chiefly physical or mental, it is be-
ing recognized by a number of the
leading present-day psychiatrists"
Chose who study mental diseases)
that drug treatment for the majority
of the insane, whether Juvenile or
adult, is secondary to the educational
treatment. Instead of merely prescrib-
ing physical hygiene for the insane,
leading alienists are now prescribing
mental hygiene. The cure is being con-
ceived in terms of process OF re-edu-
cation. Moreover, so far as concerns
the mentally unstable child in the
schools, the chief reliance is obvious
ly on hygienic and educational guild
ance."
There you see in almost every line
the magic word education" We can
all understand that. We must accept
this term in a virtually new sense.
