cone touch of nature makes the
whole world akin" and to watch a
certain store window downtown leads
one to believe an analogous conclu-
sion might apply to fishing, with the
bonds of sympathy perhaps only a
little less inclusive.
In the window is a miniature mill
pond. On the bank a venerable
fisherman peacefully snoozes, and
now and then his floating cork hobs
under with a n~aturalness that is
startling. Any mild spring day one
may find a fascinated group of men
w%lstfully watching that cork. The
drowsy old MAI does not heed the
tug of the line, and it is too much
for the imagination of any man who
has ever felt the pull of a fish and
ITS wriggling resistance as the lift of
the pole draws it out. There is a
@fraternal, sympathetic glance among
the men who stop there, and when
they pass on each seems to wear a
reminiscent smile. - indianapolis

Washington Letter,
CLYDE II. TAVENNER.

Washington, March 81 One
hundred dollars annually, This
is the amount the crime of
Fovercapitalization, or watered
stocks, costs every American
family!
This statement flows easily
from the pen, but it can be best
demonstrated by a little arith-
metic.
Various prominent financial
students and authorities are re-
sponsible for the statement, and
their conclusions are wholly sus-
tanned by reports of the United
States Commission and the. pub
lished figures of the National
Corporation Tax Returns, that
about $4,000, 900, 900 of the
stocks of orr industrial or tariff
trusts, represent only water.
o. this stock dividends of
abont 81, 800 600, 900 are being
paid yearly, amounting to APP
proximately SIS a person or,
nearly 800 an American family
This 81, 5OO,O 900, 900 is not pick
ed up out OF the streets. Where,
then. does 1t come from? The
answer is: from the pockets of
the consumers. There is not a
dollar Of water" or initiation in
'he capitalization of corporations
which deal in commodities, or in
railroad or ether public service
corporations, that does not i'm
pose burdens upon the consum-
ers and producers of this coun-
try.
The above figures, which may
be excepted as fairly conserva-
tive in view of the fact that
United States Senator LoFollette
and various other students of
the question assert that the a
mo mt of watered stock is more
than double the amount estimated
above, means this: That the
average family in this country
is plying a tax of $500 a year
in supporting the over-capitaili-
cation of our industries. Can
there remain any doubt, then, as
to over-capitalization's being one
reaSCn, a 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 but it is
also an important cause of the
present unsatisfactory condition
Of labor. To pay these divi-
on watered stock, the
trust magnates must either hold
dowl wages abnOrmally low, or
raise prices artificially high. The
fact is they are doing both.
DISQUALIFICATION, therefore,
is obviously one of the most i'm
portqnt problems confronting the
American PEOPLE today. Politi-
for some reason, refer to
t less than they should, The
subject ought to be one of the
political issues.
Five hundred glaring illustra-
ions Of the crime of o~ver-capi-
,alizations could be cited. They
would average like this: The

ID $4,000, 600. When turned

we are nov entering, the Mis-
sour farmer is filled with good
chec" The outlook in almost
every line IS favorable. There
is no scarct Of feed such as has
existed at some other times and

communication to the Omaha Bee:

to the public in cleaning up the
dandelions in OMAHA writes DR..
Mcknight, 81 have tested out pre-
paration and find that it will destroy
the plant, root and all, complete.
Take Kreso Dip, which can be obtain
ed at any drug store, five drops into
the crown of each dandelion. This
can be done with common oil can
with long nozzle. One dose will
kill the plant in three days. The
price of Kreso Dip is only ST.. 80 per
gallon, and one gallon is sufficient to
kill all the dandelions that can grow
on lot 50xl00 feet. 1 hope this will
