New stock Exchange Rule saves
Each Member $40 Year.

A. result. Of an amendment to the con

the cost TO the members or the special
life Insurance they receive from the stock
Exchange will he reduced by about $50
annually The amendment affects the dis
tributiou Of the net income OF the gra

Through the gratuty fund the Stock FIX
change pays IN the heirs of each member
$4,000. This sum is subscribed by the
other members each paying $40 into the
sra,uity fund when a fellow member die
As there are loo members, and only So
600 is paid out each time. the fund has
grown constantly. II now amounts 10
more than Sl,50O.O0o and tn net income IL
about SOS. 900 a year
Heretofore the constitution provided
that the surplus revenues Of the fund
could only be distributed to the members
in case the number OF deaths exceeded
fifteen In any one year lnasmuch as in
the last ten years there have been only
two years when the deaths exceeded
fifteen. the members have not benefited
from this provision
Under he amendment the surplus in
come OF the fund will be distributed among
the members as an offset TO their other

TAFT SAYS BUSINESS
HAS BEEN OVERDOSED
Declares That Remedies Have
Exceeded the Bounds Of
Wise Moderation.

BLooMtNGToN. Ind, Ian. 2l.-FN-Presl-
dent Taft, In an address at The cclebra-
ton OF the ninety-hfth anniversary II
Indiana University declared to-day THAT
business corporations have mad an over
dose OF remedies and that the peopl"
should return TO wise moderation and
iustic- in dealing with business.
I'VE need not 90 back to the conditions
that led 10 the great reforms and we shan
not do So" said Mr. Tafl. Corporations
have been driven out OF politics, and while"
q course, corruption is not ever absent
the danger Of plutocracy has disappeared
and the publication OF politics has constl-
tuted a real reform. for which all good
citizens must be grateful.
Popular indignation cannot he really
aroused or the lcvlathan Of the people be
stirred to action. such as they have thus
taken, and stopped short at tho line II
wise moderation. Part Of the costs Of
the original disease is m the incidental
damage from the inevitable excess OF
remedies
The hostility Of legislatures and Con-
gress, consciously or unconsciousS, has
come TO be directed against all successful
investment of capital without discrimina-
ton Nothing Is so timid AZ capital, and
nothing Is so easily able 10 take care OF
what It has.
THE inqu-sitoral, nagglng character OF
the powers of commissions created for
the close supervision OF corporate activi-
ties, have so frightened capital as to
shrink investments ana stop the normal
exhaustion fthe business OF the country
'''rhe sad feature OF such excess of
remedy" continued Mr., Taft, "howcNer
well hkencd. is that the persons who
suffer most are the least able to bear
suf.ering-the wage earners, whose COM
fort and living are dependent upon con-
slant employment
The eX-Presidcnt defended he railroads
by saying that the close and absolute
supervision over the management and the
restriction upon the rates, together with
the increase or maintenance "of wages
through the power Of trade unions have
ground the railroads between the upper
and neither millstoncs and prevented a
Fair return upon their capital
The solvency a, some of them IL
threatened" ho added land all this to the
detrimcnt of the business Of the country,
| and especially to the coE.fort and happi-
| ness of wage earners, dependent upon
normal business and normal demand for
| labor"

Some Securities for PROPERTY.

The noteholders' committee of the As

posed of Albert H. Wiggin, Samuel Nc
Roberts and Walter T. Rosen. has sent
out 10 the holders OF the per cent notes
COPY OF a report made by G. NJ. =.
Murphy. vice-president OF the company.
In which he suggests that security hold
ers might be willing to exchange a por-
ton or all OF their notes for properties
OF the company. It IL now practically
impossible TO push the sale OF the com
panys properties except at a great sacri-
nCe,
Owing to the fact that the semi-annual
interest payment Of the company calls for
$4,000 Il is necessary to keep a con-
siderable amount of cash on hand and
as the best properties Of the company are
sold It will be increasingly difficult Ia
meet this payment The committee agrees
with Mr.. Murphys views, and adds: III
