SLATON APPOINT SMITH
POLITICAL WHEEL o. FORTUNE
BRINGS ABOUT INTERESTING
SITUATION IN GEORGIA.
TO Be INTERIM APPOINTMENT

Roth United States Senators Must
Receive GubernatOrial FavOrs In
Order to Fill Gap of Four Months
in Their Service.
Senator A. o. Bacon's term as
United States senator will expire on
March 4th, and as there is an interim
of nearly four months until the gen.
eral assembly meets to formally elect
him it will be necessary for Gov
ernor Brown to make an ad interim
anpointment. which he will undoubt-
eddy do in regular form.
This action is necessary at the con-
clusion of each term of the Georgia
senators, due to the changing of the
sessions of the legislature from Oc-
tober to June.
One wonders what will happen on
March 4th, 1915, when Senator Hoke
Smiths term expires, and he will, IL
reelected, have an ad interim APP
pointment to seek at the hands OF
Governor John NJ. Slaton.
1t will be recalled that Senator
Smith as Governor Smith issued his
own commission as United States
senator just before yielding the reins
of the state government into the
hands of Mr.. Slaton.
He did not wait and allow Gov
ernor Slaton to do this, but issued
and signed his own commission.
It is very probable, therefore, that
he will have to come to Governor
Slaton in 1915 seeking this ad int
rim appointment of some four
months.
Inasmuch as he did not trust Gov
ernor Slaton to issue his commission
the first time those of a speculative
turn of mind are wondering how he
will arrange it this time.

BANK MADE MILLIONS
MONEY TRUST PROBE HEARS
FROM GEO. BAKER HOW FAB
ULOUS FORTUNES GROW.
DIVIDENDS WERE ENORMOUS

First National Bank in FOur Years
Has Paid Dividends of More Than
Twice the Capital Stock of Ten
Million Dollars.
WASHINGTON, D. Enormous
profits by the First National Bank of
New York were recounted today by
George F. Baker, chairman of the
board of directors of the bank, as a
witness before the house money trust
committee
Mr.. Baker furnished the committee
with records showing that since its
organization in 1868 with a capitali-
cation of 100000 the bank has
made profits of more than $S0,0O0,-
600

The gold output in the United
States last year was less than for any
year since 1907. Most of us will
testify hat the outgo was up to the
standard, however.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1913-01-14
Millions of Profits.

In the four years since 1908, Mr..
Baker told the committee, the bank
had paid dividends of 226 per cent,
or more than twice the total capital
ization, which is now $1O.O0O.0OO
When the capital was increased to
that amount in 1901 a special divi-
dend of $9,5O0,0O0 was declared, Mr..
Baker said, to enable the stockhold-
ers to take up the additional invest
ment. In 1908, in order to provide
100000 of capital for the organ
ization of the first securities company
to take over the business, which the
bank could not do under the law, 3"
Mr.. Baker said, special dividend of
$40, 100000 was declared. This was

Enormous Dividends.

Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee, from the figures supplied
by Mr.. Baker, calculated that since
he assumed the presidency of the
First National in 1873 that institu-
ton has paid dividends of 1850 per
cent on it's original capitalization.
Mr.. Baker fatty opposed the sug-
geston made by Mr. Untermyer that
national banks be required to make
public their assets in order that de-
posftors and stockholders might
know the nature of securities held
by the banks, the witness dee aring
that he saw no possible good that
could come of such provision.
That there is no impropriety in one
man holding directorships in two or
more potentially competitive banks,
railroads of industrial corporations
was another stand taken by Mr.. Ba-
ker.
