HOW STANDARD OIL
MELON is GROWN
'The Lamp Organ Of N. J.
Company, Explains Develop
ment Of Surplus.

The current issue of The Lamp, off,
cial publication Of tie Stasdard Oil
Company of New jersey. contains as
editorial telling Of the nature Of that
company's surplus, out Of which a 400
per cent. stock dividend recently was
declared and how the surplus devel-
oped.
1t points out the impracticability
Of paying out its entire earnings In
cash dividends and says that to meet
the demands of improving and expand
ing its facilities the company reinvested
a good portion of It's income In tho
property in lieu of resorting to financing
through the sale Of securities.
The editorial says in part:
Year by year substantial part OF
the earnings OF the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey CSC per cent. since
1919 has been put back into the busj-
ness. and these now constitute thas
company's surplus and are represented
In its balance sheet by reflneries, pipe
lines. steamships. raw and finished prod
ucts and other investments In property,
both In this country and abroad. That
part Of the surplus which is cash Ia a
relatively small portion required for the
current needs of the business.
'Tn ten years from 1919 to 1921 inclu-
sive the company has shown net earn
iags before taxes Of SITS, ,260. OF this
considerable sum $115,517,677 has been
paid to the Government for taxes $222.-
065,226 represents aggregate dividends
for the period. and s437.580,357 has been
absorbed by the needs Of the business
referred to.
Large as these earnings seem as ex-
pressed In dollars. they have during the
last ten years averaged only 1915 per
cent. of the company's investment - a
rate Of return certainly not In excess OF
that considered essential to the pros
perity of a speculative business or this
character. During the same period the
common stockholders have received in
dividends 80 per cent. of the company's
aggregate net earnings.
"Another point of importance Is that
every dollar Of the earnings OF the COM
pany has been subjected to all taxes
applicable--income, excess profits and
others, both at homo and abroad The
years of highest excess profits taxes re-
quired such heavy payments on this
account that the company was deprived
of its normal sources OF new capital
and to finance the natural expansion of
its business found II necessary to create
and sell to the public the two issues of
preferred stock.
"It is manifestly evident that the
surplus, having gone into permanent
capital. could not be distributed other
wise than in the proposed form of addi-
tional stock certificates"

September Rail Earnings.

The first Of the preliminary reports
on earnings of Class 1 railroads during
September is expected to be made public
Monday afternoon. The situation as In
dicated from the, statements released
thus far is unsatisfactory. When the
final figures for August were published
1t was predicted that September earnings
would show marked Improvement. It
now appears that number of the roads
have adopted the policy of charging off
all their strike expenses for September
with tho idea of clearing the situation
for the remainder of the year and the
heavy traffic so confidently expected. II
this policy becomes general II is felt that
September will not make q good showing
In comparison with 1921.

Competitive bidding Killed.

Bankers who attended the railroad
securities hearing Of the. Interstate
Commerce Commission last week. ex-
pressed upon their return the conviction
that the proposal for open bidding on
new issues had been talked down to q
point where the danger Of such a method
was eliminated. 1t Is felt that the ar
guments presented for consideration by
the commission were sufficiently con-
vincing to dissuade the regulatory body
from further attention to the subject.
No announcement from the commission
is expected regarding its findings, and 1t
Is felt that no further mention vi tne
subject viii be heard. On Tuesday a
brief on the question will be submitted
by the National Association Of Owners
Of Railroad Securities.

uporganized labor has the right TO
cease work when wages and WORK
ing conditions are not adequate Tor
the comfort during and after work.
Charles MacGowan. former .presi-
dent Of the Tri-City Federation OF
Labor, addressed a meeting In Mar
ket square Saturday night. HIS
address was a defense Of labor
side in the railway shopmen's
strike.
The meeting was attended by
more than 800 people. Remarks by
Mr.. MacGowan. Ben Jacobsen and
Mayor Harry M. Schriver were
greeted with hearty applause. The
gathering was enthusiastic.
Mr.. MacGowan, now connectfo
with the American Federation Of
Labor, reported on activities OF the
United States railway labor board
and briefly outlined the conditions
under which the board has asked
the men to work in the railway
shops, asserting that the average
salary would be $500 year.
"As for the roads themselves,
said the speaker, have they moi
violated the transportation act and
the decisions of the railway labor
board? Even provisions OF the
Esch- Cummins law are disobeyed
The men had a perfect right to
strike. and in their present activ-
tiles they are being backed by every
organized labor union in the coun'
try"
Elsewhere in his address hi
went into the ethical questions in
volved in the subject Of the strike
indicating clearly to his audience
that the strike is justified and tha
the labor forces will win out.
