NEW YORK. Feb. ss-Control
Of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com.
pany has been obtained from Dill.

and Otis e. Co.. it was learned to.
day.
In the offices Of Otis 8 Co. 1t
was stated that control Of Good
year Tire has been held for ap-
proximately a year and a half by
the Otis-Eaton interests. but that
they had not taken any active
part in the management Of the
company.
It is felt, however, that there
may be some change in the direc.
torship Of Goodyear Tire and Rub
Der and that the Otis and Eaton,
interests win seek more active rep
reSentation. Directors are sched.
uled to meet in Akron next Mon
day and may make some sugges-
tions to be acted upon by the
stockholders at the annual meet
ing in March.
For the last nine years-since
the reorganization Of Goodyear
Tire in 1921-DiIlon, Read have
been moro or less dominant in the
affairs of the company. Since the
dissolution Of the voting trust
agreement in the spring Of 1927,
however, they have gradually with
drawn from active management.
During this period the Eaton
and Otis interests have gradually
increased their holdings in Good.
year Tire and Rubber. Although it
is virtually impossible to trace all
the holdings of this group, it is
known that they hold working
control Of the company.
Through their interest In Con.
tinental Shares, Inc, an invest.
ment trust affiliate Of Otis Com.
pany, 75.800 shares of Goodyear
common ar held. The trust also
owns att out Of an issue of 1000
shares Of Goodyear Shares, Inc,
holding company for Goodyear
stock.
As Of December 81, 1929, Good.
year Shares, Inc, owned 285, los
shares Of Goodyear common. In
view of the fact that Continental
Shares has an interest Of 27.7
per cent in Goodyear Shares,
Inc, its equity in that holding
company represents 78,945 shares
Of Goodyear common.
This equity combined with ita
own holdings in Goodyear Tire
common, brings Continental
Shares total interest in Goodyear
to .l54,745 shares Of common or
Approximately II per cent of the
1903. .126 shares outstanding.
1t is understood, however, that
other large stockholders Of Good
year Shares, Inc, are friendly to
the Otis Eaton interests, thus Civ.
ing them further assurance OF
control.
Furthermore, it is known that
two other influential stockholders
OF Goodyear Tire, namely Edgar

friendly toward the Otis Eaton In

Fourth, those who are worth s~alvaging should be

Now It Is time for the lawmakers Of the senate and

the governor has suggested and do something for
all concerned-including the taxpayers as well as
those convicted and sent to prison for violation OF
the laws Of their state.
Action should be taken without delay. II a refer

majority Of the voters Of Texas would declare for a

Why Not Go All the Way

This for the lawmakers Of Texas: In prison loca-
ton and concentration. why not go all the way?
There is an open road. Wise men would take 1t.
There's a solution Of the prison problem along prac-
tical lines.
Constructive men believe in going all the way, and
not a part Of the way, in the solution OF a problem
which is economic in a sense, and which concerns
every taxpayer.
Location Of a new prison plant Is one OF the de-
mands OF the people. Accessibility OF the plant Is
another demand of the people
Labor for convicts Is by all the known
penologists Of the world.
They all say that idleness is a curse.
They say that above the cost OF maintenance the
convicts should be paid a wage for their labor.
They say that there should be a school for pris-
oners where the iliiterate should be taught to read
and write and given trained hands in order to be
able 70 earn a livelihood when freedom comes.
Gov. Moody has addressed the senators and the
representatives. They are well Informed as TO his
recommendations and the program Of legislators and
lawyers and laymen who have studied the problem
as well rs the D rison system from beginning to end.
First, society should be protected. Second. the
prison system should be as near self-supporting as

Science has been saved from adop-
ting wild dreams about the physi-
cal conditions in remote parts of
the universe, by the accurate mes
sages Of the spectroscope. The great
est fundamental message the spec
troScope has brought to an inquis-
tive world is that the laws con-
trolling matter are the same for dis
tant stars IS for our own world, and
that exactly the same kinds of atoms
exist in the remotest parts Of the
heavens Is do Immediately around
us. Those distant atoms react to the
same physical influences and tell
the same identical stories as do those
on our earth. Matter Is everywhere
the same. and under any given con.
ditions always behaves the same.

"Sons of Wild Jackasses" on War
Path

This for Texas livestock producers: Denied their
demands for a higher tariff on hides, western SEN
ators struck back in the senate Friday and swept
hides, feathers and shoes back to the free list, where
they have been for nearly 20 years"
Twice the western group tried to raise the duty
on hides but eastern republicans and southern demo-
Gratis were too strong against it. Then Borah Of Ida
no, known as the mountain eagle, leader Of the west
was on his feet with a proposal to deny duties then to
hides, feathers and shoes.
With the support Of southern democrats the Borah
proposal carried 46 to %. and 20 republicans, all
from the west. stood with the eagle. Twenty-four re-
~publicans and four democrats voted against 1t. 1t
is getting to be a battle between the producers and
the consumers.
All Americans wear shoes. A very limited number
Of Americans have hides to sell. Now foreign shoes
and foreign feathers and hides are on the free list
that is, If the Borah amendment Is accepted by the
house republican congressional leaders.
South America Is in "at the killing" Foreign
crude is on the free list. Hides are on the free
list. Sens. Sheppard and Connally OF Texas voted
with the Borah coalition.
In the long ago Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, presi-
dental standard bearer Of the democratic party
made this declaration: The tariff Is a local issue"
He was hooted and jeered and went down in defeat.
Isn't the tariff a local issue? II you do not believe
1t, read the record votes in the senate by the
United States.

nese delegates evidently cannot get
through their noodles is that Italy
under MusSolini is an altogether
larger caliber power than she was a
few years ago.
They persist in thinking Of her as
next after France-and quite a long
way after the latter. 4.
On the opposite hand. the Italians
now consider themselves as big as
anyone-the same people but in a
totally different frame OF nina,
which maybe really makes them diff
ferent. Al any rate, they say they
would build as big a navy as Eng
lands If they could afford IL. add
ing that they positively will have
one as big as Frances, If it takes
their last lire.
This is not in accord with any
previous calculation and upsets
everything.
II likewise would be a great ON
fort to all hands If each country
could satisfy itself how much avia-
ton will effect future sea warfare.
II planes actually can sink every
thing afloat, as enthusiastic airmen
say they can. naturally there IS no
point in keeping up big surface
fleets any longer, but most naval
experts deny that they can-admit-
ting that surface craft will be beat
en- without planes but maintaining
that planes will be helpless without
surface craft.
No che truly knows-perhaps Old
fashioned navy men are mere has
beens-perhaps aviators are over
confident. Peace time tests prove
very little; it will take a war to
settle the question.

mighty important II it DOES any
