Manage Quakers
Coming Season
CBy Associated Press) q

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-William F.
Baker, owner of the Philadelphia Nation
al league baseball club, admitted tonight
to the Associated Press that he will not
retain Erwin K. Wilhelm as manager Of
his team next year, but he denied that
he is negotiating with Hugo Bezdek to
take charge as reported from state col
lege, Pa.
Mr.. Baker returned today from a
months hunting trip. and said he will
go to Philadelphia tomorrow to begin
plans for the 1923 season. It haven't
been in touch with anybody and haven't
been negotiating with BeZdek, I've got TO
have a new manager and I don't know
who he will be- he declared. He de-
clined to say whether Bezdek will be
considered for the job.
Wilhelm took charge of the Quakers
during the season of 1921 and finished
last, climbing out of the cellar to seventh
place this season. He formerly was
pitcher and has been in major league
baseball since 1903, except from 1914 to
1921. He first was with Pittsburgh, and
then with Boston, Brooklyn, Baltimore
and finally Philadelphia.

SECRETARY MELLON ANSWERS
Mr., FREAR

1t was just as we'll that Representative
Frear should raise the question of
whether the provisions of the tax law
were being observed in connection with
the distribution of stock dividends by the
Standard Oil Co, because it has enabled
Secretary Mellon to reply not only to Mr.
Frear but to all those Throughout the
country who may have such doubts.
1t is quite understandable that there
should be feelings of resentment among
a large part of the intelligent public if it
were thought that the Standard Oil Co.
were making a distribution Of 400 per
cent dividends, for such profits would be
beyond all reason and would be chan-
enged by every automobile owner, as well
as by every other consumer of Standard
Oil products. Such, however, is not the
case, This distribution represents an ac
cumulated surplus of several years, and
instead of~being carried as a surplus it
will be turned into new stock and distri
buted among the stockholders as stock
and not as cash. AS Secretary Mellon
points out, it is really a dilution of the
capital stock of the company and the
stockholders will not be obtaining, for
the time being, at least, any increase in
net returns.
1t is not within reason to suppose that
even the most prosperous of the STAN
dard Oil companies could multiply its
pital stock by four and Immediately
set that capital to work and have it main
tain the same degree CT earning power
as the original capital. If such a thing
could be done it would mean the eNpan-
sion of wealth beyond mans widest
dreams. 1t may be counted as a certainty
that the Standard Oil Co. is already earn
ing every dollar that it can earn at the
present time, and that if there were any
more earning possibilities in sight it
would not be because of lack of capital
that they had not been developed. At the
same time it is a matter of industrial
strength that the company should have
this amount OF capital instantly avail
able for whatever needs may arise.
Representative Frear and others who
follow his line of thought would do Well
to consider whether it would be a greater
public benefit for the government TO
seize such wealth wherever it may show
itself. by means of high taxation, which |
is undoubtedly the thought which prompt |
ed his letter to Mr.. Mellon, or whether
greater benefits would arise from setting
this capital to work and to allow it TO |
earn new dividends. The latter would |
furnish new taxable values, which could |
be assessed. but capital at |
work is what brings prosperity. Before |
there can be any dividend distribution |
there must be wage distribution, for cap !
ital cannot earn dividends when employed |
i'm industry without the aid of labor. +
Capital thus employed also brings about |
q distribution OF funds in the purchase |
Of materials and in fact gets back TO the |
proposition that prosperity |
is based upon money in active circulation. |
We are accustomed 70 consider various |
factors as contributing TO prosperity, |
