In this situation what is left for the third party in corporate activity, stock- holders, whe originally contributed and are: now contributing the life blood of corporate existence? * Stockhclders, strange as it may seem to some people, are a class of persons of small means often past their time of industrial vigor amfl capacity, who have saved and invested surplus wages in cor- porations under tbe implied promise of the public_to the-right of such reason- able profits as the business af the cor- porations may warrant. Such persons have made investments with the just- ifiable expectation that the nominal in- come from their investments would be made to harmonize with existing condi- tions because society sad permitted this from the time when corporations were originated down to recent dates. What now is the situation in this re- gard? The cost of living has nearly doubled in the last six years, mot merely for the dear public and the employees of corporations, but for the sibekholders as well. It is not to be forgotten that stockholders are mere humans like the Test of us. To illustrate this, asume an investment of $100 in stock in a cor- poration which six 'vears ago yielded an annual income of $6 per annum, which was then no more than a reasonable return on the investment, as all will ad- mit. Since then In mrst cases the eor- porations have not increased the then nominal dividend, and in many cases the nominal dividend has been decreased. We will amsume the same dividend has bosn continued. If 6 per cent was six years ago no more than a reasonable return on the investment obviously the same nomin- al return now is wholly unreasonable, because the purchasing power of such a dividend' is now not more than one half or two thirds of what is then was. What then is the situation of a stock: holder who Jmade his investment with he ‘should have a reasonable income in the event that the business of the corpora- tion in which his money was Invested justified? Measuring the value of the div- idend by its purchasing power, such a stockholder Is in the position now of actu- ally having an income of only one balf or at best two thirds of what he received at the date of his investment, while the other two interested factors in corporate activity have their income vastly in- creased. The public receives this in the shape of enormous new taxes and the employees In .ae shape of wages from 30 per cent fo 100 per cent higher than those of 6 years ago. Is it just now to assert that the corporation is, wrong- in glving its stockholders some iccrease. and to assert that such corporation ought to limit the dividend to the old rate, and spend the excess of its income for the benefit of the so-called public? Is this fair and right to the stock- holder? T submit it is not. In the instance of the Telephone Com- pany we have one great public utility corporation with the foresight and wis- dom to recognize its obligation to the essential third factor in cormorate activ- ity, viz: the common stockholder. In this recent action this corporation has treated the stockholder as etltled to on increased dividend in view of the chang- ed conditions of the world, and that as the public and the employees are receiy- ing so much more, that the common stockholder is also entitled to some slight increase in his income in harmony with that, of the other interests referred to, This action is now criticized as an in- stance of corporate greed, and I sub- mit_most mistakenly. Were it pertirient much might be said respecting the enormous debt which the public itself owes to this agency, which has_enabled , individuals of the entire civilized world to receive almest instant- ancously information -of ‘events where- ever occurring, a debt so great that hu- manity jtself must recognize that it can never be paid, except in part. This is a debt owed In large part to people of small means who risked their accumu- lated wages In an enterprise that within memories of many readers of The Pul- letin was regarded as a speculative and visonary venture which could never sue- sud. These people thus invested their accumulated wages, instead of squander- ing them for some temporary and often tiMes wasteful luxury. The public and the corporate empioyees who now pro- test against this trifiing Increase of the dividend rate have short memories if they have forgotton these facts. As the telephone officials have declared in con- necticn with its increase of dividend, tha company needs and will need capital, and simply cannot get it unless it offers in- Qucements similar to those offered by other corporations. That situation alons justifies this inerease, Trrespective, however, of that reasom, the one above elaborated calls for com- mendation of this increase instead of criticism. It is an act of mere common justice to the stockholders of the com- pany. Mr. Lincoin's letter has much to say capital for public, service, and instances the effect of ‘that grest motive in the recent war. know,. however, ‘when the life of a nation at stake its people act from what they do in times of impute to humanity the ‘mo- tives is a credit to Mr. Lincoln's heart, but it is a mistake to ignore other motives- also, Cromwell'’s advice to his soidiers was wise when he sald “Put your trust in God but keep your ler dey.” Expectation of reasonable dividenas adjusted to the conditions of the time when Daid, to those whese accumulated wages is askel for by corperations and indeed by the publie is not to be ignored in corporate finance.
