IN the second of series of lee
lures on Journalism given yesterday
before the class in Journalism at
Colby college by Oliver L. Hall, man
aging editor of the Bangor Daily
commercial took for his subject Re
cent Developments in the Newspa-
per-, explaining how the policies of
the papers\of today varied from
those 20 years. ago.
Mr.. Hall continued his topic from
the last>lecture given week ago and
spoke OF the famous editors of the
New York papers two decades past.
lie said that in those days that it did
not require huge capitals to start
paper as 1t does in these times, giving
the example of three of the out
standing editors in New York, Ben
nett, Greeley and Purifier. Mr.. Hall
SAID that Bennett and Greeley came
to New York with less than So in
their pockets and that when Pur-
liter landed in the city that he slept
IN the parks until n kindly janitor of
hotel let him sleep in some small
unoccupied rooms, 10 years later,
Purlitzer purchased this hotel for
more than Il half million dollars and
tore it down for a site of his New
! York World
The speaker said that journalism
has made great leaps ahead in the
past two decades because of the
/ hundreds of inventions and of the
| many improved ways of transmitting
| news. He spoke of the mail, tele-
graph. telephone, wireless and auto
mobile as u few of the most pictur-
esque examples of the strides for

! i'll the printing of the newspapers.
he said that this was one of the
| greatest problems that faced the pro-
I fcSSiOn today. In Il report by gov
eminent experts recently, Mr.. Hall

| timber used in the manufacture of
wood pulp for paper was more than
| three tifthS gone and that the many
concerns manufacturing pulp were
using the timber four times as rast
as it was able to he reforeSted. Also
| that more attention is being devoted
to different processes by which the
/ paper NAV be manufactured by the
use of old paper. rags. cane and
other materials. Mr.. Hall said that
/ Maine was tho second state in New
| ENGLAND for the furnishing Of paper
and that the New ENGLAND states
| furnished more than third of the
I entire output of the United States.
Maine furnishes 11.9 per cent. Of the
paper, over 80 ner cent. of the news
paper and wen over 40 per cent. of
! the pulp.

EXPLAINS MEANING OF STOCK
DIVIDEND
No One Better or Worse Of for !.
Says the Farm Journal

There is much Shrieking and grind
ing of teeth by congressman and 9TH
ers-lncluding some farm paper edi-
tors who ought to know better. we
are sorry to Say-over this question
of huge stock dividends by corpora
tions.
Here are the facts. and we hope
our folks will take the trouble to ex-
anime them, and save their wrath for
the bootlegging business, or some
place where it is deserved and will do
some good.
a corporation surplus is the undi-
Vided profits of past years. AS the
profits We're earned. after 1909. they
were taxed. The surplus is what is
left after taxes. During and after
the war many of them also paid war
profits and excess profits taxes. Each
surplus is paying capital stock taxes
to the government, and in many cases
to states also.
When the surplus is turned into
stock dividend and the new shares
given to stockholders. what horrible
things happen? Merely that the
stakeholder has another nicely lith-
o2raphed piece of paper to show his
wife and lock up in safe. lie is not
one cent richer than he was before.
He gets no more dividends or other
income than he did before. He has
nothing more to sell than he had be-
fore. His dividends received on this
new stock will be taxed at regular
income tax rates. If his sells the
stock he will pay regular income tax
or any profit he makes OH the sale. :,
In short, neither the corporation.
al H.
workman. the Senate, the treasury,
Kaiser Bill. or any one else WhatsO-
ever is one cent better off or worse
off for the declaring of these divid-
ends. and the terrible cutlery about
them is Dl1re bunk

10000, Tons of Coal
Arrive in Portland
HarbOr Monday

Portland, Feb. 10-Approximately
10000 tons of coal, the largest
amount to arrive in Portland harbor
in one day for a number of years.
was brought in today by one steam
err. a fleet of five sailing vessels and
three barges.
The greater part of the coal is
bituminous and will relieve the
acute shortage in industrial plants
in various parts of the State. About
1000 tons of anthracite was brought
into port by the three barges and
as this amount will be discharged
for local consumption, it will aid in
relieving the shortage of household
grades of coal in this city.
I More than 10000 tons of bitumi
nous coal came to Portland for dis
tribution in various parts Of the
State in the holds of the five big
sailing vessels. This fleet consisted
of the six-masted schooner Wyom-
ing. the largest siX-masted vessel
afioat, the SiX-masted schooner Ed
ward j. Lawrence, commanded by
Captain Joseph H. York. of South
Portland, and managed by crew
composed entirely of South Port

Dorothy Palmer, the four-masted
schooner Courtney c. Houck and
the four sticker Ella Pierce Thur
low.
With the exception of the Palmer,
the vessels left Norfolk, Va, on
Feb. s, and were forced to battle
against gales and rough seas all the
| way up the coast. Head winds,
binding snow storms, with intense
cold. made the voyages decidedly
hard for shippers and crews of the
big fore and afters' For two or
three days the schooners were an
chored on Nantucket Shoals waiting
for a change in the wind, which
came on Saturday. While the decks
of the coal carriers were awash,
many times. all rode out the gales
without serious damage.
In addition to the feet of sailing
vessels, the Danish steamer Ark
ansas arrived here yesterday from
Barry, England, with $500 tons of
coal. Two other steamers had pre-
viously arrived in port and are dis
| charging coal at local piers. A great
part of the bituminous coal will be
shipped by rail to points down
state for us in industrial plants.

Rio Grande Ratification

As a result Of destructive floods in
recent years, it is seriously proposed
to undertake extensive alterations in
the river channel in the FL Paso dis
trict. Progressive rise of the river
bottom and the water table in and
around the city have now reached
the point where very moderate flood
stages in the stream entail heavy
property losses. A scheme is out-
lined for shortening the channel, by
Strengthening, to such an extent that
a materially sharper run-off may be
obtained. The necessity for secur-

ton is apparently the chief obstacle.
