"It bas ' come . te the, point" be said, "where three or fire gentlemen can as semble In '.a room, lay a silver dollar on a table, call ft assets, capitalize at a million dollars, get a state seal on a charter, pocket the dollar, and go . on witb the enterprise. Tia9.aB06scuF A few; weeks ago tbe country learned that corporations were capitalized at fifty times above their real value. It has come about that no man knows what corporate Investment to. trust The government' states, cities and schools dispose of bonds to Individuals, the dividends are paid regularly and the principal at maturity. This Is teaching bondholders to favor, govern ment ownership. Private bonds of cor porations which cease payment of div idends and in the end default payment are potent factora against private own ership. I hope to live te see some polit ical par$y; get into, power that will compel corporations to protect stock holders as the banks and insurance companies now are regulated."
