Phenix in 1926 totaled 81 1895, 994, the
annual rate being % per cent. In the
last 3 years the owners have received
$3,799,9S2 in cash or 76 per cent on
the par value of their stock. In 1926
the company also declared a 100 per
cent stock dividend.
Labor governments in Australia
have proved that insurance can be
handled profitably by the state at
great saving to the beneficiaries and
policy holders.
Utility For Stockholders.
Another drain on the modern home
owner swells the income Of privately
owned utility companies. This shows
up in the S14,554,178 profits of the
Electric B ID & Share Co., the great
Morgan utility trust associated with
General Electric. After paying pre-
ferred dividends this profit gives the
owners of common stock a return of
$52.21 share.
The profits of Electric Bond &
Share have been steadily mounting.
In 1922 they were S3,741 ,469; 1923,
$7,469,3 1858; 1924, $8,455 ,791; and in
1925, $1,000, 1866. Altogether in the
last years this Morgan trust has
taken profits totaling $46,523, 100,
5-year return of more than 100 per
cent on the common stock. After
paying generous dividends the COM
pany has accumulated surplus profits
Of S36,59S,181 nearly 1-2 times the
common stock, out of which it can
eventually declare stock dividends.

JARDINE INVITES
FARMERS TO APE
GIGANTIC TRUSTS
Secretary Says Relief
Not Desirable

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. Wv. NJ.
Jardine, secretary Of agriculture, yes
terday delivered an address to $500
farmers assembled at the Fifteenth
Annual Farmers Week at Ohio State
University. With perfectly straight
face, as. though he were in dead seri-
BUSINESS, he advised them that no form
of legislation would do them any good,
but that what they should rely upon
is forming themselves into big bust
ness.
Just Initiate Trust.
"The farmer today finds himself in
about the same condition that the
thousands of American manufactur-
ers found themselves in fifty years
ago." said Jardine. 1.-THE manufactur-
ers obtained relief through organiza-
ton and cooperation, finally evolving
into the great corporations found in
the United States today. They were
not legislated into this position. The
same condition confronts the farmer"
Jardine did not talk much about the
aid the corporations got from railroad
rebates, tax lodging, and protective
tariff, nor of the direct grants Of
public lands to some forms of cor
porate lands. He warned the farmers
not to follow too closely in the tracks
of the trusts, but approved of the
corporation idea of bargaining"
Divide And Conquer.
The secretary made an appeal to
the sectional interests of the farmers
Of Ohio, saying that any bills which
would assist farmers who raised wool
or cotton and bought wheat and corn
would injure the Ohio farmers. He
gave no adequate explanation of the
way in which cheap loans, money for
moving and marketing crops, and ma
tionalized grain elevators come to be
omitted from the proposed farm laws,
or would injure any group of farmers.

FROM THE CRISIS OF THE FRANC TO A WORSE
CRISIS OF STERILIZATION OF THE FRANC GO
FRENCH WORKERS DRIVEN ALONG BY POlNCARE

Inc Communist party of France
had long before the recent advent of
Poincare told the workers that all at
tempts to stabilize the franc would
mean increased misery to them. that
1t would inevitably sharpen the ris.
ing cost of living prices, and bring
about serious economic depression
with its consequent wave of unenr-
ployment and black reaction.
This is all being felt with the pass
ing of the old year. In Paris. in the
provinces, throughout the land. the
industrial wheel is visibly slackcnine.
Workers are being thrown out of the
mines, mills and factories by the
thousands. Bosses who still have
work fire the old men and take on
new at reduced wages. A great manv
establishments only work four hours
a day, or three days week. MANY
are the homes that are menaced with
starvation. The number of worker
suicides is on the increase as the gen
erai situation becomes worse.
Foreign workers are shamefully ex-
plotted and driven by the double whip
of deportation and unemployment in
to signing long contracts that amount
to slavery at unbelievable conditions.
The fee demanded of them in return
for limited right to remain in
France has been raised from So to
375 francs year. Their wives and
children must pay a like amount. Even
the hotel workers. who are mostly all
foreigners, have been thrown out of
work by the thousands, since the rise
of the francs value has frightened
off foreign visitors. Monte Carlo.
Nice, Cannes, the whole Riviera,
which could not find place for the
foreigner-parasites last winter, are
almost deserted this year.
Shared In Rel Tape.
A number of municipalities. have
opened labor exchange offices where
endless lines Of unemployed move
slowly to receive what is not sufficient
to buy more than few ounces of
bread. God pity those with "a large
family! And so strong is the red
tape system in France, that they are
lucky if aid is not refused them al

BY LOUIS De FILIPPIS
CIV NaiN

NICE, Jan 27.--The New Year in
France has opened its gates, on which
are posted in big letters, "unemploy-
ment," misery" war" These are
the pass words handed over by the
old year. In my last letter dealing
with the situation in this country. I
pointed out how French financial
barons. juggling with the franc, had
reduced the workers, peasants and
petit bourgeoisie to a pitiful state.
In the meantime, they impedad the
left bloc" government from carry
ing out its democratic policy of caus-
ing depreciation Of the franc by means
Of expectation.
Thanks to the vacilation and
scarce-crow policy adopted by the ma
iority of parliamentarians Of May II,
the barons of finance came out vic
torious and their victory has gained
the return to their service Of the man
who served them best in the past,
and who is their best hope for the
future-Poincare Of the war, Poin-
care of the Ruhr, and now Poincare
of the misery
''The Man Who Laughs"
This great man, who laughed at the
dead soldiers reposing in cemeteries,
who occupied the Ruhr to make Ger
many pay, who made six thousand
speeches.. on which he nourished the
starving nation during his ministerial
career-this great republican, "who
has saved the nation each time it
faced a atastrophe"--who better
than he could be chosen at the criti-
cal moment when the franc was pre-
cipitating into the abyss? In brief,
the vanquished of the 18th of May
have dislodged the victors from their
stronghold.
Franc Responds
On the very day that the left bloc
ministry toppled over and on which
echoes were rumored about that
Poincare would form cabinet Of
national unity, then, like magic, the
franc began to rise few points.
Since the great mans return to pow
err, the frame has speedily risen to
double Of its former value All the
dupes Of the nation rejoiced over this
happy resuscitation Of a man con
demned to political death by uni
versal suffrage.

sending five men to st. Joseph
county. to spend two weeks there,
Canvassing for Jackson in that ter
ritory. st. Joseph county includse
South Bend and was distinctly op-
posed to the Ku Klux Khan.
One of the charges made by Ste
phenson was that he spent a huge
sum to elect jackson and had a very
definite understanding about that
expenditure.
These checks, turned over to the
Times. a Scripps-H Howard newspa-
per which has been pressing the In
vestigation, with so other checks
and documents by Lloyd H. Hill,
attorney for Stephenson, at Stephen
sons direction. are believed to be
the same ones seen in the Nobles-
vile gail while the former Khan
chieftain was awaiting removal to
Michigan City state prison after his
conviction of the murder of Madge
Oberholtzer.
At that time Floyd O. Christian,
a Noblesville attorney related with
out contradiction. that Stephenson
was carefully sorting checks and
documents and pinning label to
each check as he prepared it for re-
production by photographers
1t was at this time that Stephen
son asked Christian to take charge
of the entire collection and give 1t
to officials if he were not released
within 90 days.
Christian refused to do so.
