The most careful observers have
been wondering where the Republican
machine got its impulse to destroy
all beneficial legislation, and what
made it think the people of Ohio want

manipulation, bossism and election
frauds, and big and little graft, with
the corporation managers running

The riotous market for common stocks
OF companies supposed to have war or
ders has raised an interesting question.
In several companies that have three
classes of stocks the common is selling
well above the second preferred. though
no dividends are being paid on either.
Maxwell Motors is the most prominent.
Its first preferred stock, on which divi-
dends have been started. Is selling about
where il should unless the back divI-
dends are paid, when II might be worth
more. The second preferred. which Is
entitled to & per cent, / per cent less
than the first, has. however, been selling
almost 10 points below the common.
Another similar situation is In Carbon
Steel, in which there has been u big
rise IN all three stocks in the last week.
The first preferred is selling ut e. to 20,
the second at "a to SO. and the common
paid. In Mexican Petroleum there is
ent class, The common is NJ 81 and the
preferred at 81. II the prospects IN
earnings of these companies are such
that the common should sell high the
preferred stocks, which are not now en-
joying dividends, but are to get them
before the common should certainly sell
above the common, AT least until the
earnings are known. The reason for the
higher prices for the common TX. of
course. hope Of earnings so great hat
more than the fixed dividends on the
preferred will he possible, The conclu-
sion is inc vitable-either the one is too
high or The other too low.
