FAT PROFITS
THE AMAZING DIVIDENDS
CORPORATIONS PAY
One Company Handed Out "a Per
Cent to Holders Of Common Stock
for the Year of 1924

Every time you eat bowl of Quakr
er Oats you contribute your share to
the profits of a corporation which in
1924 rolled up a net income of $5 1885,
923, giving its common stockholders
return of over 81 per cent on the par
value of their holdings. AS $5,500,00
of the 81 ,250,000 outstanding stock
was issued as stock dividends, 1924
profits represent a return of nearly
100 per cent on the money the owners
put nj.
The Postum Cereal Co. takes an
other bite out of your food dollar if
you use such products as Grape Nutes
or Posts bran flakes. Profits for
1924 amounted to $4,574,194, giving
common stockholders over "a per cent
on their investment. Compared with
1923, sales increased only 9 per cent,
but profits increased AZ per cent in
dicating that the gain was made at
the expense of workers and consum-
erS.
How many men paid their share of
the $10,000,000 tribute exacted from
self shavers by the Gillette Safety
Razor Co. can only be guessed from
the fact that in the last three years
it has sold 20,000,000 razors and l.
063, ,780,228 blades. The stockholders
return amounted to about 271a% % on
the nominal value of the stock. Trac-
ing the various recapitalizations, how
ever, it appears that a person with a
cash investment of $4,000 in the COM
pany received return of about Sd, 400
in 1924, or 49 per cent Consumers
and underpaid workers have increased
the value of the original investment
over $50 per cent in seven years and
in addition have paid the owners in
cash dividends SLOTS on each $1,000
| invested.
In soft drinks and candy the Coca
Cola Co. and Bunte Brothers featured
in 1924. Coca-Cola made a net prof
it of $5,700,993, equivalent to about
35 per cent on the value of the stock
Bunte gave its common stockholders
a return of over Al per cent.
Those are typical of corporations
which live by creatingSmass consump-
tion of a trademark article through
the expenditure of tens of millions Of
dollars in advertising and sales cam
paigns. Both the cost of the sales
campaigns and the exorbitant profits
constitute one of the great wastages
of consumers income produced by the
profit system.

VOL. VIII.

Washington - An economy
program and law enforcement
could be applied to the United
States treasury with benefit to
taxpayers, according to evidence
presented to the CouZens special
investigating committee of the
senate.
It is shown that the Atlantic,
Gulf and West Indies Steamship
company was permitted to salts
fy an assessment of $9,913,841
for $2,60O,000.
It was also alleged that Will
liam Boyce Thompson OF New
York, a former chairman OF the
finance committee of the Repub-
lican national committee, failed
to make returns on a profit OF
S6OO,OOO on the sale of mineral
lands.
The attorneys for the senate
committee stated that the ship
company's income had been un-
derstated and the payment OF
taxes evaded by failure to report
profits on sale of ships; re-
serves set up out of income; the
failure to capitalize permanent
improvements, instead of which
they charged as expenses; ex-
cessive depreciation charges and
the failure to report on income

The NOn-UniOn Mines
Lead in Fatalities

Charleston, w. Va.-The non-union
mines in this state maintain their
record for fatalities. The January re-
port of the state department of mines
supports the claim by organized coal
miners that the anti-union coal own
ers pay no attention to safety laws.
Of the 46 lives lost in January, As
fatalities occurred in the non-union
mines. Mcdowell county, leader of
the anti-union group, led the death
list. Logan county, next in its rec
ord as thug section, was
a close second in deaths. The same
proportion of anti-unionism and fatal
tiles was recorded in Raleigh, Fay
cite, Mingo, and other countries where
free government is unknown.

Eye Defects Common,
In School Children

Washington-Faulty vision is one
of the most common defects in school
children, according to the Medical So
ciety of the District of Columbia.
"Many children having eye defects
do not have good vision," it is stated.
"The trouble is that to see they have
to exert conscious effort, resulting in
muscular strain and firing the eyes.
This is reflected in nervousness or
headache, dizziness and nausea, or
maybe the more obvious manifesto
tions is an apparent effort to shirk
studies. In reality more children are
found to suffer from this sort of eye
strain than from defective vision"

Big Interests Evade Income Tax
Treasury Laxness Loses Millions

profit resulting from liquidation
dividends paid by the Mexican
navigation company.
Senator Couzens, chairman OF
the committee, said this was the
most astounding case he could
possibly conceive of.
1t was also shown that the
government lost at least $780,
100000 through erroneous de-
duction allowances to big cop
per interests. The Anaconda
copper company was the largest
beneficiary of this process. The
committees experts showed that
copper and silver mine manage
ments over-valued their proper
ties and treasury officials used
this as tax basis. Subordinate
officials favored a revaluation of
silver mines, but this was stop
ped by Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon in an order issued by
him on April IL, last year.
Oil companies used the same
methods to reduce their income
tax payments. These corpora
tions "set up a valuation for de-
pletion purposes which is alb
surd in the extreme" according
to consulting engineers for the
senate committee.
The steel trust and other cor
porations were likewise favored,
according to evidence submitted
to the committee.

CAN YOU ANSWER 1T?

Just why some persons persist IN
violating the law when a compliance
with its requirements is just as easy
and sometimes much less trouble, is
a question about as hard to solve as
are the cross word puzzles over which
so many people are now worrying.
A convenient place has been pro-
vided by the city in which garbage
and rubbish are to be dumped; yet in
spite of this, there are hundreds OF
individuals who persist in stealthily
hauling their trash elsewhere and de-
posting it in unsightly heaps where
it is an eyesore and nuisance. Doz-
ems of examples could be mentioned,
but two are especially prominent and
Objectionable. One is at our beauti

Albany, N. r., Jan. 15.--A citizen Is good or bad, as he is able to keep his house in order, Supreme Court Justice Ellis ]. Staley told 10s men and women he recently admitted to citizenship.

They follow:
 Employ and devote yourself to your own improvement and ad- vancement in mind, morale, under standing of things and affairs and in efficient performance of the duties of your labor and employment.
 Found a family, and have peace, love and good will amongst the fam fly.
 Be neighborly with neighbors.

MORE CHARGES IN
 KANSAS SCANDAL
Still Another Pardon Alleged
 Sold by Governors Son
By The Assoclated press.

By The Associated Press.
 Topeka, Kans,, Jan. 15.-Another charge that money was paid for a parole issued by Jonathan M. Davis was added today to the series of ac- cusations of trafllcking in clemency against tho retired executive, his son, Russell G. Davis. and Carl J. Peterson. state bank commissioner.
 The new case presented to the at- torney general and the Shawnee county attorney, who are conducting a sweeping in, estigation of the pardon scandal. involved the parole of Ernest Bartholomew, son of c. S. Earth olomew. wealthy merchant. The elder Bartholomew alleges in an affidavit he paid $1,250 to a man named Johnson" and received the parole for his son. who was convict ed of motor car theft.
 Johnson told him. Bartholomew stated, that the deal would be handled through Carl Peterson, state bank commissioner" and that the money would be divided $500 to Governor Davis, $500 to Peterson and $250 to Johnson.
 Peterson was charged in another affidavit made by A. l.. Oswald, Hutchinson attorney, with having solicited money for parole for Wal ter Grundy, bank wrecker.
 The bank commissioner indicated he would issue a statement today concerning the charges. The at- torney general several days ago planned to institute custer proceed ings but indicated last night this would not be necessary. Peterson conferred yesterday with Governor Ben s. Paulen, to whom he had in- tended to present his resignation before the pardon scandal broke.
 Edward Rooney assistant county attorney, was preparing to issue sub poenas today for persons linked with the cases under investigation The county attorneys office, 1t was announced, would conduct a formal inquiry in preparation for the prose- cution of former Governor Davis and his son on charges of accepting a bribe for a pardon issued to Fred w. Pollman, convicted banker. and with a view to instituting otlrei criminal actions if the evidence warranted.

$50,000 Gems Left as
 Owner Sails to France

New York, Jan. 15.-The Mar quise D'Orgetx sailed on the liner France yesterday with her husband and two children and left under her pillow in the furnished apartment they had been occupying here for the past three months a string of pearls valued at S50,000. The owner and superintendent of the apartment building were somewhat bewildered to receive radiograms signed by the lnarqmse telling them 10 Hook for pearls under the pillow in bed room"
 Although believing that they were probably being made the target for a practical joke, they had the radio instructions followed and discovered the string of 192 matched pearls with a platinum clasp inlaid with a large emerald lying under the mar quise's pillow. A radiogram was sent the marquise telling her that the pearls were safe and then the police were notified. The pearls will be kept by the police lost property depart ment pending instructions from the marquise.
