BLAMEs AUTO SUGGESTION
House Owner Says Tenant Only
 Thought It Was Cold.

Washington, Jan. i3.-Auto-sug. gestion with the aid of thermometer and a cartoonist's observations on the effect Of gazing into the mercury fill- el crystal formed the basis Of the answer to a complaint Just filed with the District Of Columbia rent com mission.
 Edwin Milstead complained that his apartment was not adequately heated. Miss Susan Guffin replied that Mir. Milstead's discomfort was due not to failure on her part to furnish heat but to ''the mental condition of com plainant and auto-suggestions arising from a constant study of the ther~ mometer and thermograph and the regulation of his precipitation or goose flesh according to its dictates.
 Miss Guffin filed with her reply copy of cartoon depicting woman who was comfortable until she looked at the thermometer and learned that instead of the anticipated 70 degrees, 1t registered 65.

Our discussion of this subject in the last number of this publication has evoked considerable comment, but none of it controverts the essential facts as therein set forth. These, restated briefly, are as follows:
 CD Corporation surplus consists of surplus assets above corporation lia- bilities, including outstanding capital stock. A surplus is frequently cre- ated for new corporation by issu- ing the stock at premium, for in stance at $l25 for a Sl0O share of stock. The object in so doing is to provide a margin of working capital in excess of the liabilities and a buf- fer to protect the legal capital from impairment if losses should occur in this respect a precaution against emergencies. As an example O. paid in surplus may be mentioned the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers' National Bank, of Cleveland, the capital of which was subscribed at Sll0 per share, thus creating sur plus of $lOOOO0 when the bank be- gan business. Aside from such pro visions, surplus is usually created by turning earnings back into the busi- ness, or, rather, allowing them to re- main, instead of distributing them to stockholders. Earnings thus retained become an indistinguishable part of the operating capital. They increase the earning power of the business and by SO doing increase the value of the outstanding stock. The extent to which earnings are thus withheld from distribution usually depends upon the opportunities for enlarging the busi- ness. It is way of providing capital for a growing business without going to the public for more.

SNOW VIGILANTES
 OUT AT MAPLE HILL
Sell Appointed Committee Mil Insist on Walks Being Cleaned

Residents af Maple Hill in the si' einily of Robbins avenue and sldt streets are watching with considerable interest the actions of an informal or gaRizati0R Of men, gha have heeh called, j0kiRglN ''fhe eeue hiuN klan," and who are said 10 have taken as their motto, Every Day ih Every Way, We're Training 'Rm bet- ter and Better
 The organization, which is nol seH eFet and wears only the usual eRll= fan clothes and meets only when eer easieh demands, was organized as a sort of an informal snow sheteieT's vigilance committee"
 For some time past women on their way 10 tFolleys and children on their way 10 school have complained that a few residents in that section fail 10 clean the snow off of their sidewalks,
 The vigilance committee was formed by four men residing in The neighhaFh0od, They met immediate Iy after the last snow storm and. armed with shoyels, cleaned on more than goo feet of sidewalk on the property Of one man, who Is said 10 be prominently identified with New Britain factory,
 While the cleaning process was ge- ing on. the owner of the property sat in the window Of his eoEy home. his feet on the steam pipes and his eye- ming paper in his hand, laughing at his neighbors cleaning of his walks, or at least SO the story goes,
 .Read Riot Act"
 But. "He laughs best, who laughs last" and the next morning the four men paid a visit to the delinquent citizen and proceeded 10 read inc riot act 10 him in no uncertain terms 1 He was informed Of what the duties | Of good citizenship consist and the requirements with which he must . comply 10 hold the respect and f esteem Of his neighbors and fellow citizens.
 Asked what would happen if he fails 10 clean of his walk after the next storm, one man who knows the situation and is in on the secrets re- piled, If he doesn't, we'll get him some other way" The inference was that if the worst comes to worst, the man may face some new method which will tend to convince him that snow should not be permitted 10 ac- on his sidewalk.
 The committee has three more owners on it's list and ef- forts will be made 10 try moral sua- sion or other methods on them, in the near future if their walks con- tinue to remain neglected. h

Adjusting Capital to Value

(2) In the course of time, where this policy IS followed, the assets of the corporation become so dispropor- tionate to the amount of capital stock outstanding that for various reasons explained in detail in the former ar ticle, it becomes desirable to bring them into more appropriate relations. It is common practice to have share of stock represent $l00 of assets, and certificates of stock generally so state. Each share, however, represents pro- portionate interest in the entire assets of the corporation, and as surplus ac- eun1ulates the shares often come to have a value much in excess of Sl0O each. A stock dividend" distributes to the stockholders additional shares based on the surplus accumulations, but the effect of this is simply to di- lute the value of the old shares. The corporation assets which the stock represents are in no respect changed by increasing the amount of stock. There IS no distribution of values from the corporation to the stockhold- CTS by means of the stock dividend" The word dividend in this connection is misleading.
 The most important effect of such . stock issue is in transferring cap- ita, which has been classed as surplus, and which is under the control of di- fecors and no. permanently dedicated so the business, to the form of pernis- ssrt capital. A board of directors msy draw or surplus for cash diri- dcnds. but wher capital stock has been isyued the asset behind i. cannot Dc except by act;cn of the usociAo1dsn.

NATIONAL CITY BANK OF YORK

United States dissolving the old Stand
 ard Oil organization went into effect.
 This was in 1911. The business, as
 is well known, dated back far beyond
 that. The company by the reinvest-
 ment of earnings had built up large
 surplus-according to Mr. Teagle's
 statement approximately $lo2,000,0 900 l just after the dissolution. These val
 ues existed in the company's proper
 ties in excess of the values represented
 by the company's stock. Of course
 the earning power of a company is not in its capital stock but in its physical properties and in this case the earn- ing power wns not simply $l0, ,000,-
 GOO, but nearly three times that. The company was starting anew af- ter the reorganization. It might have
 sold of $l9, 900, 900 worth of its prop
 critics and distributed the proceeds to its stockholders, and proceeded with
 as much capital as Mir. Frear gives it
 credit for possessing. Or it might
 have been recapitalized at that time by
 the conversion of surplus, in which
 case MT. Frear would not have com
 puted the later profits upon the basis
 of $l0000,0O capital. It proceeded, however, with an actual investment of $2o2,OU,00O.
 Since that time its annual dividend distributions, as stated by Mir. Bed
 ford, have not averaged 5 per cent. on the invested capital. The remainder of the earnings were Teinvestcd from year to year, and MT. Bedford has stated the average results computed upon the average amount of net cap ital employed in the business. MT. Teagle in his statement referred to above gave the profits for the years 1920 and 1921 and the first six months of 1922 as "$2l3,720,2l3, or at the rate of 9.6 per cent. per annum on the net assets" This is at higher rate of annual earnings, but lower percentage, than the l0-year average, showing how the reinvestment of prof | its increased the earning power in the l later years.
 Standard Oil has been an exception ally successful business over long | term of years, largely owing to the phenomenal development in the sup ply and uses of oil. Judged by per- centage upon the capital employed it has not been as profitable as some of the smaller oil companies, but luck is large factor in the oil business, and if the profits of all the oil companies could be measured against all the cap- ital that has been invested in the oil business the percentage probably would be lower than the average in other lines of business.
 As we have previously said, it is not strange that many people should not the complexities of corpo- ration finance, but lawmakers may be fairly expected to inform themselves 10 speak with some degree of accu- racy when addressing the House of The public has . right to expect that. and most people, .ven though unfamiliar with corpora ion bookkeeping would know that it made a difference in the profits whether a company was operating with only sl00.00000 worth of earn ng power or with an average for the ,eriod of over $500, ,000, 900 worth.
 Building by Means of Profits
