Portrait of a Tired
Radical

lie use1 ~ 1e a radical too 10 or ~ years ago-a
IL radical who sort of specialized in Socialism the
Embattled Farmer, Justice for All, and such semi
bourgeois deology.
But now he is tired.
Now he says the Movement is dead. He says it
takes very long time to make a radical, which is
true. But, in his case it hasn't taken long to make
reactionary.
A few times he went on the soapbox
He used to spend night after night arguing Marx
ian theory-d lodging MARKHAM revolutionary tactics.
Now, being tired, he says America is too young too
raw, too prosperous for social revolution. When
you right down to it. he never was a radical
at ALL at least in the drect-action proletaran rad
cal sense, he was never a radical He always had a
pretty easy time of it and succeeded in know
ing what it to be class-conscous. He probably
doesn't know today that the proetariat is born not
made, and that they have to fight to live and not
merely to please the inteectuals and irritate the
capitalists.
His radcasm pale, bloodless creature but
he liked it then Trouble is he never could get out
of himself. He never succeeded in being detached
objective, with feeling for the powerful class and
social demands proletarian radical revolutionary
tactics
Now, being older and very tired, he gets his pleas
in romances and good food He is able to say too
damned decisivey even for a tired radical grown
bourgeois: "The American working man is the hap
piest and most favored in the world it has no kick
coming. Capital has made the lot of the Amer
lean working better than any other working
man knows and that is why he is satisfied
There are no socially oppressed classes in America
The farmer the poor white, is not So
cially oppressed. He could produce and more
economically if he would buy improved machinery
and more land. Great art is fostered and nour-
ished by capital To have great art you must have
great wealth. Marx was one of the profoundest
of social economists, but the American working man
does not need MARKHAM doctrine. When the ma
jority of American workingclasses want new deal,
then-and only then-will there be social revolu-
tion And not before. There is serious need
for radical press in America, and do not believe
in supporting and substituting publications that have
popolar demand"
He confesses that he is making it better now than
at any other time in his life. Better pay now. More
leisure. "A homS wife, and kids He's satisfied.
Smugly content to settle down for his declining
years No kick coming against the fat guys
But I say he's very tired.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Effect of Stock Dividends.
gY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

The conclusion that a stock divi-
dend of itself does not increase the
value of the holdings of "a stakeholder
NAV be arrived at by studying the
difference in price between the ola
shares and the new shares OF the
United States Steel Corporation.
When the directors announced their
decision to distribute additional stock
to the amount of 40 per cent United
States Steel common was selling
around 1853 The next day 1t went
to 100 and on the Curb Exchange
trading was begun in the new stock,
meaning the shares that will be paid
out as a dividend. The price for these
new shares at the start was about ll5.
Now there will be absolutely no
difference after the stock dividend
between the new and the old stock.
Each share, new or old, will have
the same equity in the assets and
the profits of the corporation. After
the stock dividend the market price
Of the two will be precisely the same.
Let US see how this works out,
using a price Of $3.50 a share for the
stock before the stock dividend. Then
an investor who has 100 shares will
have holdings worth at the market
SIC 900. After the stock dividend he
will have lao shares still worth
SIC, 900. If we divide $4,000 by 40
we have ia 81, which is approx
mately the market price of new"
Steel stock on that basis. His stock
brings the same whether he sells be-
fore OF after the stock dividend, ex-
cept as the day-to-day fluctuations
govern the price. Before that time
the market for Steel shares might
ductuafe over wide range as specu-
lative sentiment is optimistic or the
reverse, but in no event would there
be any change in the value of any
single block of stock because of the
stock dividend.
AS was explained in a preceding
article the benefit to the Steel share
holder comes in IT, as is expected, the
ST dividend is continued on the ad
tiitional stock That expectation, how
ever, IS reflected In the market price
before the stock dividend.

WHEAT SCORES GAIN

Wheat trade appeared to be largely
a reflection of bullish statements yes
terday by a leading operator giving
an optimistic view of the price out
look. The grounds given by him con
tinued to form the chief basis of
buying, smallness of European crops,
delay of shipments from Argentina
and the fact that Chicago is success
fully selling domestic wheat for ex-
port in January.
Corn tended upward owing largely
to backwardness of the crop move
ment and to suggestions that when a
big movement fails to arrive in season
it never arrives. Notice was also
taken of predictions of firm livestock
prices throughout the Winter and of
consequent prospective heavy feeding
demand for corn.
