SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM TWO VIEWS. Even the most thoughtless among newspaper readers will note the striking dissimilarity in the views expressed almost simultaneously by Cyrus H. McCormick, head of the International Harvester Company, and President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe Railway system. Mr. McCormick, a far-seeing business man, finds no occassion for alarm in the present attitude and _actions of “No honest cor- poration,” he declares, * can com- plain of proper [federal] regulation Such a statement is From such a man itis impressive. So great has been the outcry of protest attending the i efforts of the government to compel certain industrial combinations to observe the rudiments of law that not a few well-meaning—though not over-intelligent — ‘persons have {assumed without question that capital was “‘getting the worst of it” iat the hands of President Roosevelt. Mr. McCormick’s frank statement will prove an efficacious tonic in the present incipient epidemic of “nerves.” As for Mr. Ripley, he is unduly pessimistic. Unquestionably public confidence has been shaken, but the cause of alarm, outside of the professional Wall street market, has not been the attitude of the federal authorities, but the act of those whom that government has striven and is striving to control. And these recurrent disturbances will continue until the government regu- lation favored by Mr. McCormick and other able men of affairs has been extended to the great cor- porations which hitherto have been alaw unto themselves. Laws unduly oppressive can never be enforced against capital, for the will of the .people” would not suffer such a thing to be done. It is only those who are finding a profit tendencies. The more speedily and decisively theiractivities are checked, controlled or prohibited, the sooner the’confidence of the investor will be re-established.

Kellogg, the govern- ment’s counsel, called attention to the balance sheets of the Standard Oil company of Kansas for 1899, on which the stocks of the Southern Oll Tank line, Mutual Oll company, the White Golden Lubricating company, C. P. Wagner & Co., H. Garlick & Co. and the Protection Oil company appeared as assets. Mr, Fay said he could not explain why the balance sheets in the follow- ing years did not show what had be- come of all these assets and why they were Written off. I A balance sheet of the Standard Oil | company of New York for 1906 showed It carried its pipe lines as an asset, which it valued at $84,833.

ORE LAND ASSESSMENT. Minnesota Board Finally Fixes It at $191,000,000. St. Paul, Oct. 1 —The assessment of the iron mine properties in Minne- sota will remain at the figure fixed by the state tax commission, approxi- mately $191,000,000. This is an in- crease of fully 150 per cent over the figures of last year and the determina- tion to permit the new figures to stand was reached by the state board of equalization after a heated discussion, Commissioner Heinen offered the motion accepting the tax commission’s valuation, $191,000,000. Commissioner Meighen, who headed the movement for a stiffer valuation, countered the Heinen motion with one increasing the tax commission’s figures 25 per cent and later Commissioner Hodges, in the interest of harmony, as he ex- plained it, tendered a motion making the proposed increase 10 per cent. On the roll call six voted for the in- crease and it was declared lost. Commissioner Nolte raised the point | that even the tax commission’s valua- tion was unjust and proposed a cut in the figure, making the total $150,000,- 000. He only received the support of one other member. The Heinen motion, accepting the tax commission’s figures, was voted upon and passed with one negative vote. BIG FAILURES PREDICTED.
