NEW YORK, March 1O.-Great
oaks from little acOrns grow, and
great fortunes have in rare cases
resulted from the prudent invest
ment of small sums.
Any person in possession of the
Investors Sixth Sense" who
bought one share of the common
stock of the Standard Oil of New
York in 1912, at the prevailing
price of about $275, would find
himself in possession Of multiple
shares valued at $1,000 today, be-
sides having drawn dividends an
nually in the meantime.
Jump I'm Price.
In 1912 the outstanding common
stock of the Standard Oil Company
of New York amounted to 100000
shares Of a par value of 500 each.
Such had been the accumulation of
past, earnings and surplus. however,
that the book value of the stock
was we'll over $500 share, and the
lowest market quotation for that
year was $275.
In the following year the direc-
tors voted a 400 per cent stock divi.
dend, increasing the number of
shares to 100000. In 1922 a 200
per cent dividend was distributed,
and the par value of the stock re-
duced from 500 to $25 share.
AS a consequence there are today
5000 900 shares outstanding, or 60
shares for each share in 1912. AT
the prevailing market quotation OF
$45 a share, the holder of any
original share now owns stock with
a market value Of 200. A record
such as this makes it easier to un.
derstand why the cash dividend on
present stock is so low, only $1.4O
a share per year, or per cent on
the investment. But that dividend
is the equivalent of $84 a year on
each share of 500 par value out.
standing in 1912.
Present Capital.
The present authorized capital of
the company is $235 900 200. of
which $225, 900 is in the hands of
the public. The remaining $4,000.
900 is retained for sale to employees
of the company, at prices fixed
quarterly. The working capital of
the company is $134 .189 900. of
which cash and Liberty bonds
amount to 1000, 900. The com.
pany has only $4,000, 900 of funded
debt. In the ten-year period 1918
to 1922. net profits available for
dividends were $246. 606,570. an an
nuaI average of $2.74 a share on
the present capitalization.

BASES
PAY ON NEEDS
Of WORKER
Plan Sweeping Continent Dis
eliminates Against
Bachelors.
By MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER.

NEW YORK, March 1O.-A new
basis for compromising manual and
clerical workers has been sweeping
through Europe.
The idea is to pay men in ac-
cordance with their family require.
ments instead of according to their
productivity and usefulness. The
plan which affects no fewer than
5000 900 toilers, discriminates
against the bachelors.
Virtually every government in the
old world has adopted the new wage
system, which entails extra pay.
ments to married men for every
dependent child, and has been wide
ly accepted in France. particularly
by private corporations as well.
Born Of Necessity. -
AS prices kept climbing during
the war and after. wages chased
them up the spiral staircase. Work
men cried for a living wage, and,
in fixing what such a conception
meant in practical terms. employ
ers recognized that what might be
a living wage for a man with five
in the family might be excessive
for a single individual without de-
pendents. During the war. as pa
ternalism spread, governments ra-
toned food, and the division was
made in accordance with the size of

extent fingered after the emergency
disappeared.
Paul Fl. Douglas, of the Univer.
sity of Chicago, in commenting on
the system in the current number
of the Quarterly Journal of Eco.
nOmics," says:
Purpose I'm France.
THE French employers who have
begun the payment Of family allow
ances have undoubtedly been sway.
ed by variety of motives. A hu.
name desire to relieve the distress
existing in large families, wish to
help raise the birth rate and thus
at once to protect France more eff.
fectively from military aggression
while furnishing the industries OF
the country with an abundant sup.
ply of labor, are doubtless very
real motives on the part of many.
Many. however. desire to strengthen
the friendly ties between themselves
and their workers, while others are
swayed by the desire to check the
mobility of labor and see in family
allowances a means of stabilizing
their labor forces.
While all these labor purposes
have undoubtedly been operative 70
b greater or lesser degree. it NAV
well be doubted whether they have
been as influential as the facts that
large groups Of employers have seen
In the family allowance system a
means Of avoiding the payment OF
as large wage increases as they
would otherwise have been forced
to accord"
The system would scarcely seem
enticing to labor in this country
where standard Jof wages is higher
And yet the principle is not wholly
alien to American concepts. The
Federal Government, in assessing in.
come taxes. permits heads of famil.
les to make deductions of $500 from
taxable income for each dependent
child. Moreover the exemption from
! Federal taxes for heads Of families
is from $1,000 to 1900 greater than
Tor bachelors without dependents.

TO REGULATE FUR SHIPMENTS

Delegate Dan Sutherland of Alaska introduced a resolution in Congress to regulate the shipment of pelts of fur bearing and game animals from Alaska and for other purposes. The bill would forbid shipment of game animals from Alaska except under permit secured through declaration filed at postoffice or custom house in the Territory. Failure to comply with the provisions of the bill would incur penalty of fine of not more than s2000 Or imprisonment for as much as six months, or both. Peltries shipped in violation of the bill would be sub- ject to seizure and confiscati ton, the proceeds being divided equally be- tween the federal treasury and the Territory of Alaska. The enforcement of this bill would be placed in the hands of the Secretary of Commerce who would promulgate the necessary regulations.
 The legislature of Alaska would be authorized to place a tax on belts ot the kind covered by the bill and to empower officials and postmasters to collect any tax or license fee imposed by the legislature under the author ity herein provided.
