THE RUMLEY DEAL i Shows How a $250,000 Concern Has Grown to b£ One of the World’s Largest. A WORLD’S MARKET 1 . Is Advocated by Mr. Rumley —Senator Kern Will Return From Chicago, * i Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 22—A big item of business at tne office of the i secretary of state Saturday was the granting of increase of capital stock to the M. uvuuney &. tu, Of,L&po?te. The records show that their first incorporation occurred in 1887 when they incorporated for $250,000, and this capital was increased in March, 1909, to $750,000, and in November of that same year another increase made their capital stuck $2,000,000, and to this amount of capital another million was added in January, 1911. The increase Saturday makes their total capital million dollars, and the fee to the state of Indiana was $19,037.70. It )s an original Indiana corporation, one among the largest too, by tnb- way, and likely one of the most successful in the country. They manufacture threshing machines, engines and farm machinery, and this latest increase in capital was partly for the purpose of buying up the Uaar, Scott & C®., of Richmond, Indiana,! and the Advance Thresher Co., of Bat- 1 1 tie Creelr, Midi. The National Har J vester Co. is their only rival and this new combination makes it certain! that the M. Rumley & Co. will soon j be the leaders in the manufacture of farm machinery. The head of this gi-1 gantic concern is a young man, Dr. 1 Rumley, and he is proving to lie a I wizard in the manufacturing business I and necessarily a wizard in finance. | At the summer meeting of the Indi- j ana Democratic Editorial association j at Laporte, yyung Rumley. in the course of an address said that the! newspapers of the country could not! do a better thing for the business interests of the country than to start ! a movement advocating a world's mar- | ket, and that a protective tariff was more of a hindrance than a help to the

I manufacturers of the country. This ! ! was a new song for a manufacturer to 1 j sing, but it shows the change in sen- ! timent from the good old days when \ it was popular to advocate a protective tariff for the benefit of the laboring men of the country and the infant industries, and when a world market meant nothing hut a competition with the pauper labor of Europe. Now we see the head of one of the • largest manufacturing institutions in > this country advocating a world mar-1 ket, and at the same time is turning : up his nose at a protective tariff, which a few years ago was thought , vital to the success ol' manufacturing, j | Times do change. Senator Kern is coming home Thurs- j day from Chicago, where he has been since early in October as one of the Lorimer investigating committee. They have been unearthing some new and important testimony and there is not much of that which will help the , blonde senator retain his seat in the United States senate. The committee adjourns this week and will take '' up the investigation later in Washing ton. The senator and Mrs. Kern will go to Washington for the opening of congress on the first Monday in De j cember, but they will both he hack in Indianapolis for the holiday season. The state printing board opened bids for stationery and printing, and now the clerk of the hoard is figuring tho bids and as soon as this is completed the board will verify the fig ures and award the contract to the lowest bidder. W. B. Burford, The Sentinel Printing company and Thornton, Levy & Co., were tho bidders. 1 The meeting of the democratic state 1 committee on November 28th will j likely bring the unterrified in num- j hers, and democrats from every part of the state will be here lor that occasion. In reality that will open the I campaign for 1912. for the selection of ! delegates to the district meetings will 1 soon follow and then comes the elec- | tion of the members of the state comI mittee, and then the organization, ! which is scheduled for January Bth. I By that time the time and place for ! the national convention will have been fixed by the national committee. ! There is already some talk for a state ! convention in march, and it would seem that such a date would not be out of place. J. H. Heller and Master Dick were Indianapolis visitors over Sunday i
