NEW INDUSTRY LOOMS NEARER.

Tho interview given bv w T. Toch to The En-

establishment CT pulp and paper manufacturing
enterprise at Thanc contains the most encouraging
news heard by local residents in many months RE
fact that option has been let by the officials of
the Gastineau Company indicates that activity may
be expected open up within reasonable une.
While Mr.. Tolch guarded in his statement OF
the terms of the option and conservative in his pre-
dictons through the whole account CT the proceed
ings runs a thread of optimism that cannot be over
looked by the casual. 1t is to be hoped that the
present deal progresses satisfactorily and that the
option will be exercised without undue delay.
The management of the Gastineau Company have
been fighting uphill game since the mine closed
down in their efforts to secure investment OF large
capital in the local enterprise 1t has made strenu

briefly by u. s. Forester Greeley in his annual report

Pulp prices slumped, money for investment shy

La Toilette, New Political Arbiter.
Cincinnati Enquirer. J

Overlooked for the most part by the country amid
the hurry caused by the upheaval general cleo
TONS is the remarkable majority achieved in Wscon
sin by United States Senator Robert NJ La Toilette.
This surpassed $50 900 and carried into office an
array of his followers nominated the state ticket
and what is more important, nine congressman, who
are tacitly committed to be guided by his leadership.
This victory was the greatest in his career of thirty
years in political life.
1t is calculated to give pause concern to
the leadership of the Republican party nation
which, it may well be admitted by all, is not
pleased by his presence powerful factor in the
situation. Whether the newly launched drive for the
abolition OF the seniority system is flank attack
upon him and other radical members of the party in
the Senate is an incidental matter. If it u.s. the effect
will only be to bring open hostilies all the
sooner. Senator La Toilette will lose time in any
event in exercising the power newly placed in his
hands
His control of the delegation in the lower
branch and his utilization with Shipstead, Frazier
and other leaders of the agricultural bloc of the
Northwest, gives him weapon in the House of Rep
resen atves almost effective his alliance in the
Senate. The narrow Republican majority in the
House may be said to be his mercy. He and not
Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, must be regarded
as the commanding general of the third, so-caled
progressive, and undoubtedly influential faction in
Congress-
United States therefore is in the Eastern and Southern
Democrats in both branches who represent sections
which are not yet given over to radicalism. 1t is
quite true that the retirement from the minority
leadership of the Senate by Underwood, of Alabama
is not assuring in this direction, but then there
nothing in the selection of Simmons, North
Carolina, which is disturbing. Curously enough it
is even possible that the Tammany Congressman from
New York City may be the stablizing factor in the
next House
These matters of environment, created unconscouly
by the electors, may prove to bring into existence
the conservative political party or group advocate by
President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia Uni

LEADER IN MODERN RETAIL TRADE.

The death recently of John Wanamaker took away
from America one of the pioneers and founders OF
modern retail merchandising. More than any other
one individual he broke trail away from the cid
customs of trade and led the vanguard to higher
ground making possible the present big scale of
retail merchandising.
Honesty in his business relations with both en-
poyees and the public of the cardinal prin-
ciples employed by him in building up his establish
ment which was known throughout the country. He
is said to have proudest of having inaugurate ed
four reforms in the early days of his career which
were revolutionary when first launched. These were:
cash payments the spot to working people on
completion of the work; shorter business days; not
two prces-one price only one; taking back anything
sold and returning the money if unsatisfactory He
also took a great deal of pride in providing social
features in his both employees and patrons.
The bent of his mind is well illustrated in some
of the little editorials whrh appeared in his ad-
vertisng fer number of years. One of these, quoted
by B. c. Forbes, economic writer, in commenting
on Wanamakers death said: when patrons say
that we have their confidence, shall have reached
the goal of desire
Mr.. Forbes also quotes the great merchant's
autobiography which is contained in six words: TRY

those foolish customs that starting with little

On December 5th, bill establishing these refugees
was reached on the House calendar. Represent atve
Mondell, Republican floor leader of the House an
nounced that it would net be considered and when
asked why by Representative Anthony sponsor of the
Dill, responded that of the members did not
think 1t wise Mr. Anthony replied that he did nat
think the House would bow to the gentleman from

retcrted Mr.. Mondel I'D just as soon take the bill

just cut out all reference every other section of
the country except Alaska and clutered I'D the land

Stock Dividends as Tax Evasion.

per cent
This seems to be flying in the face of rather
obvious conclusions. These accumulated earnings

clared to be earnings going beyond the needs Of the
business to produce reasonable profit on the old
capital and keep the concern within a safe margin of
working liquid capital. They are accordingly earn

permanent capital They, in other words, represent
process of compelling the public to contribute new
capital for more extended operations of the
stockholders who should be the contributors If that
Is not going beyond the reasonable needs of the bust
ness in the meaning of the law then it is mpos-
sibe for corporation to do any such thing.
Stock dividends have largely been outlawed to
public service corporations for the one reason
that they shall not make the public contribute new
capital additional to generous earnings on the old
capital. Private corporations have also become
affected with public interest in relation to their
income taxation, and the public is properly concerned
over their stock DIVIDENDS thus used for purposes
of tax evasion. The question will not down Rep
