s Jone 227 1905: New York, Matter. k Row vss Mall to ty ime i NO, 16,011 —, VOLUME 46...... a HENDRICKS'S REPORT. ‘ : (7 After all these years that David B, has denounced mammon that he) ¢ Should become an Equitable mercenary at cut rates. Mr, Odell edited out all about his friends and dilated on the counsel $ 4 fees of his enemies, Depew, Root and Hill. Except this, what was there in the Hendricks report on the Equitable | 4 that the people did not already know? | Nothing was said of the Great Ryan mystery or why the Insurance Department has tor years allowed the corruption its report discloses. What other men in politics besides Depew, Root and Hill have md their hands in the Equitable treasury? ss “HONEST GRAFT.” ) ' Some thirty odd years ago there flourished in New York an arrogant, (ostentatious person named Tweed, He be the public long before the late Mr. Vanderbilt, but being a man of less education his language wales incisive, His methods also were crude, He sold cuspidors and carpets and chairs to the city at absurd prices, and paid himself out of the city treasury over and over again, He issued fraudulent warrants and | Magrantly stole. Raut attr all he stole only a few millions, much less than a little street railroad or gas franchise is worth, and the lawyers and the black- mailers took most of those few millions away from him. He was a be- nighted man who in his ignorance overlooked his best opportunities, They do things better now, lawfully and honestly, using the word honestly in the sense the courts of law construe it. Nobody in politics does crude and criminal things now. Those are left nowadays to the high financiers in Wall street, to life insurance officials and the great banks and trust companies, | No more stealing, no more corruption. Nothing left but what George Washington Plunkitt calls “honest graft.” $ D OTe eee THE GREAT FRANCHISE TRUST. | ‘ ' When the Great Ryan Mystery is unveiled the Great Franchise Trust | will be revealed. | When the savings of the people shall have been used for their en- When all public utilities are concentrated in one man he will be the fuler and he needs no official title to confirm his power. Whoever controls the savings of the people has a power beyond that of Czar or Emperor. WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM? Another palatial hotel is to be added to the accommodations of the very rich, The more expensive the hotel the more quickly its rooms are filled, and the higher its restaurant prices the more necessary it is for the svnewly rich to be seen dining there. The wonder is not that there are so many expensive hotels, because the profits on the investment account for that, but where all the people who live in them get the money to pay their bills, There are forty thousand private houses in New York where no one swith an income of less than eight or ten thousand dollars a year can afford 0 to live, It is estimated that the expensive apartments outnumber three » to one the private houses, Even with close watch over the expenditures, F Tiving in such quarters and with such surroundings cannot be had for dess than twenty times the average census earnings. These people cannot five permanently on credit, although the losses of the tradesmen who trust them are much zexger in proportion than to people of moderate The money to keep up the show and pretense to pay the expensive rents and the costly and varied apparel must all come from somewhere. N’ fhe question is whence it comes and how the individual members of b this class of the population contrive to get hold of it.
