The Democratic wool bill oC:JFif

the House, this time by a vote of

When he vetoed the bill last year

hat the tariff board had not made

louse proposed a wool bill calling
or a reduction of 40 per cent In

han the bill which the President
etoed.
The tariff board, therefor^, vindiates

The Democrats knew, lone

hat the wool rates were too high,

TUB RUSTED OIL TRI'UT
The Standard Oil Company, whiclr
the Supreme Court of the United
States solemnly "dissolved" some
Pew weeks ago. has declared a dividend
of 2,900 per cent. This action
was taken by the Standard Oil Company.
of Indiana, and was made for
the- purpose of concealing the enormous-profits
of the company. It was
what is called a stock dividend, that
is, for every share of stock owned
by a stock holder, he was given 29
additional shares. To do this it was
necessary to increase the capital
stock of the concern from one million
to thirty million dollars. No
gew capital was added, however.
Th<* incrcaso was declared out of the
surplus.
Since . the "dissolution" of the
trusty several melons of this sort
have keen cut. The Vacuum Oil Company,
another subsidiary, recently
Increased its capital stock from $2.[>00,000
to $16,000,000. and it is reported
that the Standnrd of Kentucky
will declare a dividend of 2.500
per cent. "Naturally,"
says the- Wall Street '
Journal, the official mouthpiece of
(he big business, "the old Standard
Oil stock holders are elated over the
Supreme Court's decree "
ALU)WING THEM TO VOTK
Prcsldcnt Taft in a recent letter
to Calrmau Keening, of the" Maryland
State Republican committee,
used this language: (
"I hope you .will h?c ?n it >><?? >?
