is shunning newspaper headlines in
setting up rules which must be fol
lowed by all parties in a pi ox:
contest.
The main rule is that rival par

Public Interest
I
Everyone who owns a share ol I
slock in a corporation has a finan- 1
cial in:ciest in how that corpora- j
lion is managed. In most corpora
t.ons a majority of tiie slock is held
by small investors, and Uiese have
the right to vote 111 choosing the
mauag?.meui ol the corporaiion in i
which they hold shares.
When t\w? or more groups try to
I
gain control ?.t the management o.%
a corporation they send out proxies
asking the shareholders to give'
them the power lo vo.e tlieir shares
lor one of the parties in the con
test.
.Not long ago. for example inter
ests Jed by the late financier Kob- i
ert Young, wanted to get control ol |
?he great New York Central Kail
road. They wanted shareholders to
vote for the directors they nomi
nated.
It has been estimated that in that j
contest each side spent more than j
a million dollars on publicity, ad
vertising and sales plans, trying to
win the approval of the greatest
number of shareholders. Both sides
made conflicting statements and
claims.
Confusion and Distortion
Quite frequently in proxy con- j
tests shareholders are confused by |
the distortion of truth and. in som- 1
eases, unfounded attacks upon thr j
integrity or personal reputation 01

basis of the acreage of National
Forest within their limits.
Payments this year amount to
about 21 cents per acre, up trom
the usual 15 cen.s per acre paid
