THAT BIG CORPORATION
BY A SHAREHOLDER

One of my faults through life is the
fact that / always acknowledge the
corn when / have been in the wrong,
and, while in the past j have not been
in the wrong, have not been on the
right track. 1t has just dawned on
me that am entertaining sneaking
affection for Hawaii, land what it
means to be citizen Of the best ter,

The other evening, while was max.
ing a trial with some of the new vel
low shoe polish, it occurred to me
thatsI was a shareholder in thriving
joint stock corporation, the assets of
which were almost limitless,t and yet
my liabilities in this paying concern
are a mere bagatelle as compared
with citizens in other cities, and it
also makes me swell with pride when
I"refect that at the same time, they
are as large as the next mans. And
another feature that makes me feel
as if | needed shoe horn to assist
in putting on my hat is the fact that
no matter how rich a man may be
here he can own only one share of
this stock that have mentioned. Do
you know, that before | had finished
shining that pair of shoes, was tax

beautiful grounds, yes, and even the
supervisors who seem to be doing, or
trying to do the right thing, but some

ancestors may have been up to in En-

of one thing-those who hurt their ev-
