A CORPORATION JUNGLE.

Lincoln Journal: Readers of what
the packers say in Washington must
be deeply impressed by the packer
figures as to profits and dividends.
They are magic figures. Mr. Armour,
Mr. Swift and Mr.. Morris 90 on the
stand and present figures as to the
packer profits which make the sym
pathetic soul feel like offering them
a half of It's last quarter dollar with
which TO buy a bite-or would it be
only half bite-of dinner
II was Mr.. Armour, we believe,
who proved to the committee that
his company had earned early last
year only 9 per cent. on capital stock.
That was not unreasonable, at least
by comparison with the American
Beet Sugar company, which had
earned 3S per cent the year before
But some pesky senator was there
to inquire as 10 the source of that
capital stock and the down-trodden
packer had to admit that three
fourths OF it had been built up out
of the profits OF the business, profits
added to capital after handsome divi-
dends had been paid. The stock was
three-fourths represented by stock
dividends. At this point the soft
hearted pnliaDtnrOplSt taxes his quar-
ter and buys with it five and a half
ounces OF bacon wherewith TO stop
the mouths of his clamorous babies.
Day before yesterday Louif F.
Swift went on the stand with two
pennies in his pocket, his share of
each dollars worth of business done.
But il turned out before Senator
Gore was through with him that S-4
two cents represented a 10 per cent
profit to capital stock, with heaven
only knowing how much of that stock
was water or a contribution, as in
Mr.. Armour's case, from the ultimate
consumer. And Senator Norris in
jected here a hint that there might
be SURPRISES to account for in the
Swift case, in addition TO dividends.
Another packer who told admir-
ingiy OF the beggarly profit he takes
on a steer had 70 admit that the
profit he named did not include
horns and hair, or even hide. Pack |
ers deny that they own stockyards. /
but why the mystery OF the Chicago |

stockyards owned by a Maine corpo-
ration with a president in Maine. a
secretary in Massachusetts, and
stockholders of whom these know
nothing, to whom dividends are pay
able to bearer as If stockholders in
that company would not for the
world be caught at it?
The general packer system Is a
vast razzle-dazzle, a jungle the COM
mon herd cannot hope to pierce But
a few things we can CLEAN from the
hearings at Washington. One is that
packer dividends give no clue to
profits. Another is that stock has
no relation to packer investments.
Another is that the packer state,
ments OF earnings and dividends sell
dom If ever contain the whole truth.
The packers oppose any movement to
decentralize their industry. They
ask us to concede their control of
the meat industry. If we are to do
that We should certainly have to do
as was done with the railroads and
then some more. We should have to
require sort of bookkeeping calcu-
lated to throw light instead of dark
ness upon the business. And with
that would have to go creation of
some connection between stock and
investment, and withal a public con-
troll Of profits.

THE PRIMARY AND. THE BOSSES

found wanting. 1t has helped nobody,

candidates claim for themselves,
what is being claimed for them by
organizations financed in their In

the Systematically circulated charges
against them. Such voters as restrict
their expression to the candidates
concerning whom they have what
they deem reliable information, find
their intelligent, conscientious action

voters, Influenced by the looks of
names, the arrangement on the bal
lot or the advice of political bosses.
Several times dead men have been
nominated to office. Very often the
place on the ballot has determined
nominations. Ingenious devices for
arrangement of names of candidates
are confession of the futility of
the primary.
