CULBERSON OF TEXAS.

Mr.. Culberson is rounding out "a
years in the Senate and desires re-
election. His health is not robust,
1t was not robust six years ago, when
he offered for the fourth term. But
with great pluck he entered the
canvass. and TO the extent of his
physical ability has been dlligent
since in his Office.
This man has had extraordinary
success in Texas politics. He was
serving as Attorney General OF the
State at 35, and as Governor before
attaining his fortieth year. Upon
reaching the Senate he made an ex-
cellent impression and some Is years
ago received much complimentary
mention when. before Mr.. Bryan
showed his wonderful come-backa-
tiveness, the Democratic party was
under canvass for a Presidential
candidate.
| Mr.. Culberson inherits his ability
and in some measure his unusual
home for his legal learning and serv-
ed for over 20 years in the House and
was much admired there and at home
for his legal learning and strong
character.
The son has advanced the family
name in the national scale. When II
full physical keller he was an up
standing figure of note and powe
among the Southern men in nationa
life. Even in impaired health he re
tains his place in that community.
This race will be more warmly con
tested than that Of six years age
Then Mr.. Culberson had an cas-.
triumph. Now he faces a large
field. and some of the entrants ar
politicians of considerable experienc
and no inconsiderab bic success

STEEL TRUST
HIDDEN PROFITS
Could Double Wages, Lower
Prices and Still Pay
Dividends

Washington.-Th recent 20 per
cent wage increase to its so-called
common labor will not affect profits
of the steel trust, as a 20 per cent
increase in prices will reimburse the
trust for paying the "princely" rate
of $3.50 for l0-hour day
In a public letter to Judge Gary
last year former Comptroller of the
Currency Williams gave an insight
into the tremendous profits of this
corporation which are concealed from
the public. Mr.. Williams stated that
in the year under discussion over
$100,000,000 were charged to operat-
ing expenses, for maintenance, re-
pairs, ETC. In addition to disposing
of these profits by this method of
bookkeeping it was shown that on
December 81, 1919, the corporation
was carrying a high balance of over
$200,000,000 to the credit of depletion,
depreciation and replacement funds, -
unexpended and available when need
ed.
The former federal official remind
ed the steel trust head that from
March 81, 1915, to December 81, 1919,
the trusts net surplus, after paying
of all interest, dividends and excess
profits taxes, and after setting aside
enormous reserve" funds for future
possible contingencies, was increased
by more than $400,O0O0O0, according
to the trust officials report.
Mr. Williams charged the steel
trust with hiding millions of dollars
of profit in depreciation and other
funds, and with blocking a return of
business by excessive charges He
declared that the trust is able to dou-
BILE wages, to lower prices and still
paw dividends.
