high as 10 per cent dividends on its dealS
in New York and Brooklyn apartment
houses. The frauds are alleged to aggre'
gate 100000.
The Monaton company was incorpo-
rated I'm 1907 at Albany, capitalized at sl,-
100000 IL is charged that the company,
after securing title to property in gooc
neighborhoods in this city by paying
small sums and giving mortgages for the
remainder. contracted to sell N,OOoOO
worth of interest bearing bonds, and ac-
tualy disposed of s350,0O0 worth, based on
security in tho title of the property.
Thirty-seven of these parcels were IN
Brooklyn and twenty or more in Manhat-

According to Julian Hartridse, assist
ant United States District Attorney the
preferred stock was distributed among the
promoters at as much as $50 a share and
between 1907 and 1919 about 100000 In
dividends went to the inside crowd. At

on the common stock from new subscrlp-
tons, and late In 1909 the company re-
ported it's assets as 81, 49,, 500 80. Mean

retired from his pulpit to take the job,
and the Rev. Charles e. Nash, Baptist
clergyman OF Manhattan, who also re-
signed to take charge of the agencies.
Among the managers was w. F. Ken

Members of the Christian Science Church
invested heavily.
Complaints against the concern began
to come in to the office of District Attor-
ney Whitman and w. T. Emmett, State
Superintendent Of Insurance when The
regular October dividend failed to ap-
pear. The State Insurance Department
found the company was not selling insur-
ance, although some OF It's gold certii-

war, Is the lack of tariff that would
protect the business and make Sc
cure the money invested in 1t by
Americans. This is the belief of men
heading numerous large concerns in
timately connected with the dye and
chemical business.
On the other hand. failure to either
get the dyes from abroad or make
them here, means that one million
men employed in the textile indus
tries will shortly be out of work.
OF course there is a slight chance
that small quantities of dye stuff will
be brought out Of Germany by way
of the Rhine, through Holland and
thence to the United States. Need
less to say, if the business gets big
enough to supply the American de-
mand, the allies who are fighting Ger
many will find method to cut off
this trade with the enemy.
1t is up to America to solve the
problem by making for itself the dye
stuffs that have been secured from
the Germans in the past. This can
only be done by encouraging Ameri-
can manufacturers of dyestuffs to
make the huge investments that will
be necessary to build up the business
here and the kind of encouragement
they demand is that congress guaran-
tee them against ruinous competition
at the end of the European war. In
other words, they want protective
tariff and when they get it the in.
vestment of millions Of dollars will
be Forthcoming. Germans have in
vested some S35.OOO,OOO in dye-mak'
ing and the higher wages that are
paid in America will mean that even
more will have to be invested here ii
this country is to ultimately acquire
the dye trade of the world.
The democratic administration pro,
tests that it seeks to stimulate Ameri
can industry and is intent upon assist
ing business wherever possible. This
emergency creates an unusual oppor.
tunity. The public will not waste
much thought upon the incidental de,
parture from democratic tariff doc
trine if protection is extended where
it will help save one million men from
idleneSS.

CUTTING FEDERAL PAY.

What treason is this, that Senator
Sheppard would perpetrate? News
dispatches Wednesday credit him
with having introduced resolution
in congress to cut the salary of fed
eral employees in the interests of
economy. His plan would be to shave
two per cent off the salaries Of gov
eminent employees who draw $4,000
a year and graduate the scale SO that
it will take five per cent off the sal
aries of those who get as much as
$4,000 year. Again We ask, what
treason is this? Why, such a resolu-
ton would hardly hit the civil service
list at all. 1t would cut the salaries
of the men who get their jobs by
political pulls or by clever campaign
ing. 1t would include congressman,
some of whom are on the job nearly
half the time when their duty does
not interfere with their private in.
terests or detract from their pleas
ures. 1t would hit Offices that have
often been refused by capable poll
ticians because the duties of the Of
fees would interfere with private
business. It is awful to contemplate,
but it is not hard to figure out what
congress will do to that resolution.
Economy, unlike charity, does not be-
gin at home in the minds of poll.
