in the type of a corporation. but an

corporations 10 which trust powers
were given were chartered under

from the trust company of a half

country's later-day development. To
meet the ever-increasing demands
for larger loans than most Of the
banks could grant: for loans of

Quite naturally. when an increase

nothing in the realm Of modern
banking more remarkable than the
development OF the trust company.
Their story is a veritable romance,
and it is the purpose Of these articles
90 deal with the general subject OF
trust companies in comprehensive
manner To begin at the beginning.
II may be said that their growth has
been exceedingly rapid. for IL was
not until 1922 that legal authority
was given a corporation 20 exercise
fiduciary power
Since that date they have grown
steadily in numb ers. but the devel-
opment was very slow in the early
years From various unofficial
sources. there having been no Off
cial reports of the trust companies
until a relatively recent date. il APP
pears that there were but a half
dozen regularly organized institu-
tions as late as 1853 BY 1875 they
had increased 10 So. by 1889 10 120.
and by 1896 10 500 Thereafter they
grew by leaps and bounds until the
recognized statistical authority on
the subject for 1916. the latest pub
lished issue presented the summar-
lied details of the operations OF
.932 corporations showing total re
sources of ST.654.791,7SO. They

$5O,OO00OO
This, then, is the terrible effect of the pound
rate for second-cIass mail, and of the conse-
quent increase of magazines and other second
class matter this is the result of the shameless
subsidy" of the sS9, 900, ,000-a-year loss caused
by the magazines; that from 1879 to 1916, uUith

taken the place of deficits and there has been

This evidence has NOT been used in Congress
or by the National One Cent Letter Postage AS
sociation.
Does it help to substantiate the $S9,OOO,OOO-
loss-caused-by-the- e-magazines" myth?
Is it evidence on which magazines ought to
be strangled by sudden increase of more than
300 per cent'in their cost of delivery to sub

The name of representative magazine has been
given to members of Congress with the following facts
of its most recent four months operation:
1t paid the Postofice during these four months for
delivery to subscribers S8,676.04.
But during the same period it purchased 2-cent
stamps to the amount of $20202.06.
1t purchased 1-cent stamps to the amount of
$24255.49.
1t paid parcel post charges of $3196.20.
Here are direct purchases from the Postoffce,
tirely apart from its poundrae payments amounting
for four months to $56,32979
The above for outgoing mail matter.
Incoming showed for the months 258,272 sealed
letters with postage stamps affixed in addition to post
cards and parcel post deliveries.
So far, we have payments, in only four months, to
the Postofce of SCI 49523 and above the pound
rate payments of S8676O4, in ransacting the direct
business of the magazine
But in addition during these four months 800 ad-
