Assessment for Development

opportunity to come into the new com
panies ON the same footing as those
that engineered the congratulations
Generally, half of the stockholders die
not accept the opportunity, and felt
that they had been badly treated, and
would have preferred that all should
lose rather that those who had faith
in the companies. and We're willing to
accept the conditions, protect them
selves in the only way possible
All on Equal Footing.
Every company should be assessable
as far as developing is conserved
When property in bought with stock
it might be necessary to have certain
amount of non assessable stock for
cash, the assessable stock should be
sold for an amount sufficient to pay fol
the property as we'll as to cover tho
cost of promotion, organization de-
velopment and the fixed charges con-
.trolled by the bylaws, the subsequent
sale of treasury stock, the price to be
increased equal to amount of assess
ment paid when sold. In this way
Iany shareholder would come into the
corporation on an equal footing at any
time, and it would be up to the stock
holder whether to sell treasury stock
for development purposes or be as.
Isessed for carrying on the work, This
would prevent the operations Of the
fake promoter and make the investor
realize that corporation Is q coop
Ierative concern, as well as the fact
that instead Of taking a flyer in any
stock offered, they would confine their

properties after creful investigation
and render all assistance posi- lie.

Reviewing the past few years briefly
ures in mining were not the fault of
the operators or promoters, and that
most of the criticism came from those
who have put a little money in min
ing as a flyer" or a gamble" indis-
criminately without any investigation,
says Mining and Engineering World.
These people had rather more than
ability-merchants, railway officials,
doctors, ministers and lawyers. 1t is
no wonder that the false promoter can
succeed, that the legitimate mine OPP
orator has been unable to raise devel-
tpment funds.
Troubles of Non AssessabIe Co.'S.
Following the panic in 1907, many
ION assessable companies were I'M
BILE to pay their debts or continue de-
Jelopment. Stockholders were APP
pealed to, meetings held, voluntary as
easements asked for, but most Of them
fliled and stockholders who We're will
ing to do their part would not unless
all responded according to their inter
est. This resulted in many cases in
reorganization as assessable cOmpan-
les. In some cases a sufficient num-
Der of stockholders would consent tc
enable them to change the company
from non -assessable to assessable, but
in most cases this was not possible on
account of the laws under which they
were incorporated. The companies
We're unable to pay their debts and
continue operations. Some, rather
than let their property go by default
PERMITTED it to be sold for debts
bought it in through a trustee, and
formed new assessable companies All

UNCULTIVATED LAND.

Only q per cent of the tillable land
of the United States is actually under
the department of agriculture, based
upon reports of $4,000 correspondents
to gain information as to the tillable
area of the United States the amount
of land that cannot be used for crops
that have to be plowed, but available
for pasture or fruit, and the total
number of acres that never can be
used for agricultural purposes. From
the returns which were generally very
consistent, preliminary estimates have
been made for each state and for the
United tSates. Further investigation
in the far western states may modify
somewhat the present estimate for
those states.
| The entire United States, excluding
foreign possessions, contains about t.
900. 100000 acres. OF this area about

may be brought under cultivation by
clearing, drainage. irrigation, etc.

estimated to be -tillable but valu-
able for pasture or fruits. Only 81
per cent. or 800 900 800 acres. was es
timated to be of no use for agricul-
ture present or future.
According to the census of 1909,
the land area in crops where acreage
was given was 100000 acres. This
is about 16 per cent of the total land
area or about q per cent of the esti-
mated potential tillable area of the
United States, excluding foreign pos
sessions.
In other words. for every 100 acres
that are now titled. about 375 acres
may be titled when the country is fully
/, developed.

Borah Talks on Lusitania Affair and
the Mexican Policy

When asked for an expression on
the probable attitude of the admins
tration on the Lusitania affair. Sen
ator Borah, who is a member of the
committee ON foreign relations, gave
out the following statement:
u do not anticipate any decisive ae-
ton or any change of policy upon the
part of the authorities at Washington
based upon the sinking of the Lusi-
tania. That disaster and the loss OF
the lives of American citizens would
be calculated ordinarily to arouse great
feeling throughout this country, and
doubtless the American people do feel
deeply upon the subject; but to my
mind the sinking of the ship of foe
upon which happens to be found Am
erican citizens is by no means to be
compared with the act Of hunting out,
robbing, ravishing and numbering AM
erican citizens found in a neighb0ring
country.
1--WE have lost more citizens in Mex
leo than we will lose on the Lusitania
and as our policy with reference to
Mexico seems to be we'll settled and
accepted, there is no possible reason
why we should expect a different pol
icy toward Germany who, while sink
ing the vessel of a foe, destroyed the
lives of our people, I do not antici-
pate, therefore, any change Of policy
because of this unfortunate affair.
Not for "Peace at Any Price"
"Of course, you understand, ] am
expressing my view as to what our
policy win likely be rather than what
1t should be. | do not hesitate to say
that do not agree with the peace a.
any price" policy although | know IT
to be popular
"War Is the last thing we as peo-
pie want, but / would protect Ameri-
can citizens on land or on sea and
upon whatever part of God's footstool
they might be found so long as they
were obeying the laws and pursuing
peaceful avocations in the country in

While April dividend disbursements

1913, they We're of an encouraging ma
ture as compared with the payments
made in the last several months and
We're indicative of the great improve
ment that the mining industry in gem
eral is undergoing. From reports
made to Mining & Engineering World
1t is learned that SS7 American mining
companies paid dividends during the
first 4 months of 1915 amounting to
include the 1922, 944, paid by five Sc
eurities- holding corporations, whose
profits are secured from holding in
other companies and from the opera
ion of their own mines Added to
the disbursements of S78 companies

companies of $30112.466, certainly not

1t is not only coWardly but it is
both immoral and un-Christian for IA

selves up in the cloak of utter selfish
ness and contentment and feel no con-
Germ about and exercise no power OF
protection over their fellow citizens

pei of peace it is nevertheless the

low countrymen. ] accept no such
doctrine. This republic should face
la world in arms rather than have
it said that American women may be
ravished and American citizens muir
ldered on the doorsteps of the republic.
Best Way to Avoid War.
And yet in saying this | would not
expect war as result of such a pol
icy. We are far more likely to keep
out of war in the long run by a bold,
determined policy of protection to
American citizens than by the policy
of Indifference The world accepts the
standard we ourselves set up and
treats us accordingly.
ut is curious position we occupy
in this peace propaganda. We are SELL
ing millions of dollars of arms to en-
able fearful carnage in Europe to
proceed. We are not willing to with
draw the instrumentalities of slaugh
ter and demolition for they bring us
money In this respect We foment war.
On the other hand, so dearly do we
love peace that we permit the lives Of
our citizens to be sacrificed and then
parley over the corpse as to what its
value was to the widow.
Some day the American people will
see this sorry plight and they will say
that If we are going t. be the abettors
of war it will be in aid of the lives of
our own people and not alone in order
that we may increase our exchanges"
