The gen- eral result of the system of fin. is to deprive the legitimate origi vestors of their chances of making a fair return out of thew investment. The bondholders, as a rule, have provided all the capital expended and ur all the risks; the stockholdc have invested nothing and have no responsibilities. The great evil of over-capitalization 1s in the unjust taxation upon the pub- lic by exacting a compensation in excess of a fair return upon the capital actually invested, which amounts to a direct charge and bucden on the trade of the country. limiting the ability of the Am in Drudu(,u‘ and merchant to compete with those of fo cign nations, and checking the develop- ment of our vast national resourc *“I'he hundreds of millions of wealth, says Mr. Clews, “so suddenly acenmu- lated by our railroad monarchs is th measure of this iniquitous taxation, th perverted distribution of wealth,” The pooling system having proved a failure as an expedient for permauently regulat- ing competition, Mr. Clews is of the opinion that ultimately competition will adjust the profits of the companics to the alent of a fair return npon a true valuation of the properties, that is, a value measured by what they ible to earn under the conditions of ffree compe- tition and the now current cash cost of providing like facilities. The legislation Mr. Clews advises wonld Limit the issue of stocks and bonds against any railroaa hereafter built to the amount of the true cash cost of .the property, restrict the is- sue of mortgages within sixty per cent of the true cost of the proverty, prevent incorporators from becoming construct- ors of their road, dircetly or mdireetly, require contracts for construction, equip- ment, ete., to be made upon open com- petitiye bids, prohibit issues of stock for any other than construction and equiy ment purposes, forbid the p dividends not actually earned, and en- force the amplest publicity of dotails lating to the current tralic affuirs of the companies, Mr. Clews warns the great railroad capitalists to look out for the seeurity of their investments if the increasing public feeling against their methods and the working of the railroad system shall be forced to take form i legislation, “The dash of agovernor's pen is all that stands between the railroad millionaire and the sudden extinetion of a large portion of his inflated paper wealth,” and Mr. Clews obviously believes that the demand tor that dush is very likely to be forcibly made and responded to in the not remote future. —_— Violating National Hospitality. Judge Barrett of New York, i sen- tencing u few ys ago the boycotters who were convieted of extorting money from the individual against whom a boy- cott had been directed, the men convieted being unoaturalized forcigners, made a leading point of the breach of mnational hospitality involved in their erime. The judge observed: *“The moral guilt at- taching to the crime of which you have been convicted is heightened by the fact that you are not American eitizens. Such socialistic crimes as these are breaches of national hospitality.

Less than $5,000 has been reecived as yet on account of liquor license in Troy this year. By persistent drumwming, as herctofore, the amount may possibly be inereased to $12,000 or 14,000, But it is nevertheless true that a large proportion of the retail rum business in this city Is done without license and in vio- Intion of law. Under the high license sys- tem, strietly enforced, a revenue of at least $100,000 wourd be derived from the liquor traflic here, with wholesome restraints also interposed to chieck abuses now so general. Omaha, with wtion less than that of Troy, realizes an income of $120,000 frow this source, and the il, far less of law breaking and demoralization from the traftic than here in Troy -~ The ¥ > of the Choir, Christian Advocate Half a bar, half a bar, Halt a bar onward !
