What Finance Forgets Is Good
Management.

Management.
The National City Bank assumes
that we have an ''inadequacy of rail
road facilities" because railroad in
vestments no longer command the
confidence of the public" Upon this
the Bank bases plea for retaining
the Esch- -Cummias law 1t is all very
clever, but it is also all very mislead-
ing.
Nothing is said about railroad man
agement and there is no explanation
as to why the bankers wish to have
kept on the books law under which,
according to their own statement,
railroad investments have not been
able to command the confidence of
the public" Apparently what the
bankers want is a guarantee of in
come and government guarantee
that labor will stay in its place"
Regarding the idea which the pub
lie is alleged to have that the rail
roads are owned by few rich bank
ers," something very much to the
point is to be said. Railroad stock
of course are owned by large groups
Of people. Stockholders are scattered
all over the country and the great ma
most in the minds of bankers. There
very little railroad stock Whether
or not few rich bankers" or a few
powerful banking groups actually own
controlling interests in great railroad
systems they actually do exercise con-
troll through devices which are per-
fectly we'll known to bankers and
which are in common use throughout
the whole financial world.
1T is interesting to note that the
National City Banks whole discus
sion of railroads is a discussion of the
financial and political phases of rail
roading and these are always upper
most in the minds of bankers There
is nothing said about the management
phase of railroads and that is one of
the main reasons why the National
City Banks pronouncement is pure
propaganda put forth in the interest
of high finance which means high
speculation.
Old Hol<um's Bucket Pours Forth It's
Flood.
The New York Trust Company is
sues a publication called The Index.
The Index is not as venturesome as
the National City Banks publication
and sticks more closely to matters
falling within limited field of inter
ests to the financial world. In its De.
cember number it INDUCES in a
lengthy defense of the stock dividend
seeking to make it appear that the
stock dividend is merely device for
giving to stockholders something
which they already have This is one
of the seasons best jokes. The main
purpose of The Index in discussing
stock dividends seems to be to reas-
sure high financing that it need have
no worry about having to give up the
stock dividend trick
Those who use publications of this
kind carefully will find them interest
ing and informing. Others run the
risk of being chloroformed. One of
the purposes of modern corporation
and banking publicity is to create an
atmosphere of scientific exactness to
serve as smoke screen under cover
of which to provide generous draughts
from the old hokum bucket.

OPPOSE COAL TAX

Hazelton, Pa.-Officers of anthra
cite mine workers announce opposi-
ton to the new coal tax, which has
been upheld by the United States su-
preme court. The miners will urge
its repeal by the state legislature.
1--WE are opposed to any divvy of the
swag," said District President Ken
nedy. The union official declared that
this is another scheme to put up the
price of coal and is another element
the miner has to contend with in Sc
curing living wage.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend. for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact.
so many people claim, that it fulfills al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism

UP To FRANCE

Whether the international conference for the set
tement of the German reparaton question amounts to
anything will depend France. The French govern
ment has accepted the American proposal "in princ
ple Will it accept in fact and go ahead in good faith
to make such conference successful?
Most American observers have lacked confidence
IN the Poincare policy of debt collection all along Re-
cent events have given point to the oftrepeated ques
tion whether France really wanted payment from Ger
many. The suspicion has strengthened that what the
Poincare party, at least has wanted, is the partition of
Germany and the annexation direct indirect, of Ger
many's richest industrial sections.
Various efforts at secession the part of the
German states especially that of the Rhneland frank
y encouraged by Poncare have seemed to be carrying
out French program. AS reparation faded from
sight there opened up the prospect of French enrich
rnent and assured safety only through German des-
truction.
If this is the case the reopening of the reparaton
question in conference of allied and associated credit
most of whom concerned with getting German
her feet and enabling her to pay, must be embar
raising to Premier Poncare.
At any rate, having accepted even ''n principle,
that statesman and the French faction he represents
cannot much longer conceal their real purpose 1t
should be known soon as the conference plans pro-
ceed, whether France is going to help make the kind
of peace that Europe and America need and want, or
whether she is going to insist cutting Germany to
pieces and set up military system of her own, doml
mating Europe completely than the Prussian sys
TEN did.
