‘< _ADVERTISEMENTS ‘Not 1 But 4649 | Stockholders THE Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is owned by 4649 men and women—not one own- ing as much as 10 per cent of the total. The Company is not personally owned or controlled by oné or . two men. ' L The stockholders have conferred ! ~ full authority and sole responsi- ‘ bility for the handling of the | Company'’s affairs in a Board of Directors of seven men. These men have come up from ‘the ranks and risen to their pres- ent position because they have demonstrated unusual ability in their particular division of this > N highly specialized industry. ; The Board of Directors measure b the success of their trusteeship I not by earnings alone, but by T the service the Company ren- : ders the people at large. r They know that the earnings . available for dividends are al- : waysin direct proportion to the £ degree of usefulness and char- ; acter of service rendered. % It is this ideal of management - which has developed the Com- . ° " pany to its present proportions - as a public servant. ' 1 ~ Standard Oil Company o . (Indiona) : 3 ~ 910 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, 4 ¢ 3. A Legislature Changes Its Mind (Coritinued from page 3) Our Compiete Price List on nents was George H. Sullivan of ; 2 ‘Washington county, who was elected- - s over W. W. Wilcox, Leaguer, at a spe- 3 cial election after the reactionaries P . g had succeeded in unseating Mr. Wil- ' COX. It was the fight of the League mem- bers of the legislature which succeed- ed in putting the bill through. The insistence of the Leaguers at the last session and the public sentiment for the bill which has become apparent since the adjournment of the regular session, due in a large part to the publicity given it by League members and League publications, forced many of these men. who voted against the measure at the last session to switch. The soldiers’ bonus bill, too, was largely due to the efforts of League members, and in not a small part to the example which North Dakota set. Before the special session members of the legislature were put in an ex-: ceedingly uncomfortable position when facing returned soldiers. While North Dakota had passed a bill giving each of the returned men $25 for each month in the service, the Minnesota legislature haggled over and finally killed a bill to give the returned sol- diers $5 ‘for each month spent in the service of their country. ~ This condition finally resulted in the passage of a measure appropriating $20,000,000 for the payment of these bonuses. Nonpartisan league and la- bor members of, the house fought for a bonus of $20 a month, but the meas- ure failed, and the other measure went through unanimously. - At the last moment the appropria- tion for calamity relief was cut in half. Originally an appropriation of $1,000,000 was asked, but later ‘this was cut to $500,000. This includes relief for sufferers from fires, floods and cyclones. One of the points mentioned in the governor’s call was that of the cost of living. This virtually went by the boards through the political play in- dulged in by the legislators. A cold storage regulation bill, and appropri- ations for an investigation by the commissioner of agriculture were passed. Neither of these measures is expected to afford any relief. There was no pretense mmade that the inves- tigation would do more than give the profiteering “pitiless publicity,” and there is every possibility that the in- vestigation will prove no more than a whitewashing party for the profi- teers. " Nevertheless, the special session did as much in 10 days as the regular ses- sion did in 90, and only the fact that the governor vetoed the tonnage tax prevented the session from being a complete success-for the people of the state against the special interests.
