"I believe the fiend is a low-grade moron, with the appearance of a monkey,” the chief said. "All descriptions furnished by the women tally. He is small, heavy set, with long, hairy arms, which swing below bis knees. He walks with the slouch peculiar to a monkey. Matted, long hair covers most of his face. He

INDUSTRY to live and be sue- **■ cessful must earn sufficient money to compensate the three major factors who have investment interest in the enterprise. First, the stockholder who has invested his savings in the business; second, the employe who has invested his time and talents; third, the people who have given property protection and the right to do business. Ten years ago the Standard Oil Cofnpany, Inc. was dissolved under an order of the United States Supreme Court, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) became an independent organization, controlled by a Board of Directors elected by the stockholders. In the ten years of its existence, as an independent organization, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has paid in wages the sum of 335 million dollars to the employes who have invested their time and talents in the sendee of the Company. To the Federal, State, County and Municipal Governments, who have furnished property and police protection, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has paid, in the form of taxes, approximately 79 million dollars in cash, while the stockholders whose thrift and enterprise have made the business possible have been paid cash dividends of 74 million dollars. In a word the Company has paid, during the past ten years over 5 million dollars more in taxes than the stockholders have received as dividends. These payments have been possible only because the management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has conducted its business in a highly efficient and satisfactory manner, and has won public support through the sheer merit of the service the Company has rendered, and the superior quality of the goods it has made and sold. In addition to these cash payments the Company has succeeded in accumulating an invested surplus which has enabled it to largely expand its activities and intensify the service it renders the public by meeting the insistent demands for petroleum products which have become indispensable to our social and economic welfare.
