To Consider Stock Increase

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Texas Pacific Coal and
Oil Company, to be held at Thurber,
Texas, on April 16, a proposal to
authorize an incease in the capital
stock from s5,O0O,O0O to s6,OO0,0 900 will
be voted upon. 1t is stated that with
the approval of the authorization the
directors plan to offer the $1,O0O,OOO of
new stock to the stockholders on a
selling in the market around $1,000 a
share, so that the rights to subscribe
to the new stock will be worth approx
mately $3.50. In 1918 the company in
creased the capital stock from $4,000

Earnings Smaller

Per Cent on Common
Stock

Net earnings of the National Lead
Company for 1918 were $4,692.815, con-
trastcd with S4,896,953 the preceding
year. The annual report issued yes
terday, however, made no allowances
for tax reserves, the reason assigned
being that the amount for last year
cannot yet be definitely stated. at is
believed that the tax reserve created
will be ample" the report said.
Preferred dividends at the rate Of 7
per cent absorbed S1,705,732 of the
1918 profits, leaving a surplus of ST.
9S7083, equivalent to 14.45 per cent
on the $40, ,655 400 common stock, COM
pared with 1914 per cent earned in
1917. In addition to the payment of
this issue last years dividends in

Comparisons of the net operating
income of the railroads during
February, as shown by the advance
figures reported to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, largely sup
ply their own comment. Net operat-
ing income was $10,015, 700, the
lowest in a number Of years, and
$2,25O,O0O below that of February,
1918, probably the worst February
from an operating standpoint in
railroad history. While freight traf-
fic fell off 13 per cent as compared
with February a year ago, higher
rates brought total revenues up to
an increase of 23 per cent. But the
greater increase in the cost of labor
and materials raised expenses on
this smaller volume of traffic by "a
per cent, leaving a net operating
income decrease of IA per cent

New-York tribune., 1919-04-05

The information elected by in
curing stockholders at the annual
meeting of the American Interna-
tional Corporation has significance
not only for the company but for
the whole nation. The New York
Shipbuilding Company, which
started with $500 employees, is now
employing $4,000, and will soon in
crease its working force to $4,000.
The company has capacity for
building twenty eight ships at one
time, and is booked for two years
ahead. The senior vice-president of
the company said that ships can be
built as cheaply at Hog Island as in
any other nation. He remarked also
that the cost of construction was
the crucial point, and not the cost
of operation. Wages paid to seamen
constitute only about Is per cent
of the total cost Of operation. All
these facts have the greatest i'm
portance, not alone on the imme-
date future of our shipbuilding in
dustry and the employment it will
give, but on our continued ability to
maintain our place on the seas, and
to carry our enormous exports in
American bottoms.
The old economic text books
taught us that gold was the "stand-
ard of value and the medium Of ex-
change" It's function az a stand
ard of value is still undisputed. In
order to grasp their comparative
values quickly we must compare the
values Of goods with each other in
terms of common good, and for
this purpose nothing better than
gold has yet been found. But as
medium of exchange gold is
rapidly becoming antiquated. 1t
is being gradually crowded out of
the way by confidence. We COM
mon folk hardly ever see gold now
adays. 1t has been slowly gravi-
tating from US to the vaults of
banks. The war greatly acceie-
rated the process. The present me-
dunn of exchange, when we con
sider bank deposits (Which are
swapped around by means Of
.checks), as we'll as bank notes
consists of about nine-tenths con
fidence and one-1enth gold
In fact, gold used as a medium Of
exchange nowadays is sign of alb
normality. Gold shipped across thu
Atlantic means that something ha
gone wrong with exchange. (iolt
paid by Germany for foodstuf'
means an abnormal lack of trust
Gold is something tangible, slow t,
increase but never, save by rar
ac c d e n t, declining. Confidenc
grows swiftly and diminishes easily
The German bank statement 0
March 22 reveals further increas
OF notes and further falling OF
in gold; so that the gold backing
against notes, not to speak Of de
posits, is only per cent. Moderl
currencies are composed Of an in
creasing proportion Of confidenc
and decreasing proportion of gold
But what will become Of the Ger
