the nearest plants, and the expense in
transportation was practically done away
with. Meanwhile, Coleman du Pont had
bought in stock at low prices, but when
he came to sell out more than ten years
later he got nearly $2O,0OO,0 600 for it.
He Works With His Men, Not
Over Them
A MAN with enough strength of char
acter and force will succeed in any
thing. Coleman du Pont was not afraid
to leave the coal business to become presi-
dent of powder company, trade about
which he knew nothing But still more
remarkable was his sef-restraint in selling
out his powder stock just as the European
war started, knowing as he must have
that it was sure to become immensely
more valuable. But he had started to put
up, almost alone, $3O,OOO,OOO building
for the Equitable Life Assurance Society
in New York. And, although he knew
nothing about life insurance, he bought
the company itself. He had finished his
work with the powder industry, and few
millions more didn't matter.
He is big man physically, very strong
and skilful with his hands. He has in
Vulnerable hobbies, loves every variety of
animal, and has always worked with his
men rather than over them. He was al
ways able to do any work that his men
could do. Although perhaps the most
prominent man in Delaware for number
of years, and member of its best known
family, he was called by his first name
even by the negro porters at the railroad
station. When he was president of the
company, a far greater number of be-
grimed laborers entered his office in
day than superintendents, bankers, and
fnanciers. He always had time to listen
to any complaint or to see anybody.
should say that young man born
without riches has just as much chance to
succeed. provided he has both brains and
the necessary energy, as the sons of the
rich. If Coleman du Pont had been born
with another namo he might not have gone
into the powder business, but he would
have made great success elsewhere.

News Of Especial Interest to

STATES INCOME DECREASES
Receipts for Last Fiscal Year Show
Loss Because Of Falling of in
Railroad Earnings.

Minnesota had an income of $22,-
481,933.11 for the states fiscal year
ended on July 81, which is about
100000 less than the earnings for
the previous year, by the figures of j.
A. 0. Preus, state auditor. The loss
is due to the falling off in the gross
earnings of the railroads and would
have been much greater had not the
three big counties of Hennepin, St.
Louis and Ramsey made their spring
settlements in July instead of Au-
gust.
The gross earnings for railroads
was $5,004,0O0 for the last fiscal year,
which is $4,000 less than was shown
the year before.
Direct taxes were somewhat great
er, as the general revenue tax of $3,-
$4,000 is $500,000 more than was col
lected in the corresponding period for
the previous year, and the road and
bridge tax of $1,312,OOO is about $780,,
900 greater. On the other hand the
general school tax of $1,377,000 re-
veals a falling off of more than $780,.
900.
The states prison tax, next to the
railroads, gross earnings taxes and
the state revenue tax, is the greatest
revenue producer for the state.
In the fiscal year reported by Mr..
Preus this institution brought in $2,.
055 1000, increasing its earning capacity
by S4O0. 900. Iron ore ROYALTIES reach.
ed $234,000, a loss of 100000, and
timber sales $423,000, a decrease OF
$4,000.
Grain inspection brought in reve.
nue. of 100000, gain of nearly $780,
900, and the automobile licenses came
in with $148,000. Interest on the per
manent trust funds netted 1892, 2,715.36
a considerable gain, as the funds were
increased over the previous year.
