Operations a tie in the series, they

standard of Dividends,

Many interests contend that dissolu-
ton Of our big trusts would be a good
thing for the stakeholder but bad from
the point of view Of the country's well
fare. and they never tire in citations of
the experience of Standard Oil investors.
According TO compilation made yester-
day Standard OIL companies in the third
quarter of this year will distribute $26,-
20%.9lb in cash. not including the Galena
Signal Oil dividends. which have not been
declared. This will make approximately
SS0.000,000 for the nine months, or an
annual payment OF more than $l05, 0OO,-
900. This is equal to more than sos a
share on the capital stock Of the former
New Jersey company, an amount far In
excess OF any distribution In the palmy
days OF the trust. AS one company il
was peculiarly subject TO the force of
public opinion, but divided among many
companies no dividend other than the
$20.000.o0o approximately paid annually
by the present Standard Oil Company Of
New Jersey seems unduly large. Even
the Federal Trade Commission admits
that the earnings on net investment are
not excessive.
