City CONGRESSMAN IS 0PP0SEDJT0 ROAD Says the National Highway Would Not Benefit the Masses. Fifty members of the Richmond Commercial Club attended the meeting last night fully expecting they -would hear Congressman Pinly Gray tell bow. he would fight for the pro posed National coast-to-coast highway, but were disappointed as Mr. Gray In a very frank manner told those present that he was not in fa vor of the project but if congress voted for the highway appropriation he would ask to have it located along the National road which was origin ally built and maintained by the gov ernment. Mr. Gray gave as his reasons for his 'stand that the rural roads needed development and the government did not have money enough to do both The development of the roads in the ' country will tend to give the farmers a bjetter opportunity to send their goods to market, he said. The farms can Hb connected more efficiently with the railroads and the price of food products will be consequently lowered according to Mr. Gray. "The National highway from coast-to-coast would only benefit those who have automobiles, and i do not consider that it would help the masses," Mr. Gray Bald. President Swayne of the club together witn Howard Dill, Steve Kuth, Dr. Charles Bond, Charles W. Jordan, Dr. J. M. Wampler, Lawrence Bertsch, Dr. J. E. Weller and other members of the club attempted to show Mr. Gray that the National road would be an impetus and a stimulant to bustjjess and would be a model road after which other roads could be copied. Dne of the main features of the proposed road, according to Mr. Dill, shalrman of the good roads committee )f the club, is that Americans would stop going abroad to spend their noney. ! STREET STORIES "There is nqthing like a couple of wire clips for keeping the loose sheets of your newspaperjn place if you're reading it in a crowded car," said a business man as he settled himself for his ride home and took some long, narrow paper clips from his pocket. "I always have some of these clips, and by putting them top and bottom of the center pages when the paper is fresh and evenly folded I save a lot of bother. When I throw the paper away I slip off the clips and pocket them for next time." BREAKS A COLD IN A FEW HOURS-PAPE'S

CLUB WANTS TAXES LOWERED 1(1 COUHTY Commercial Organization to

Take Matter Up Within Short Time. RESOLUTION PASSED Indorsing George Seidel For Appointment on Penal Farm Commission. With the penal farm question settled and the Hakins lake project under construction the Richmond Commercial club will next consider the proposition of how the taxes in Wayne county may be lowered without materially affecting the public improvements of the city. "Every one owing just taxes should be made to pay" says S. E. Swayne, president of the club. The question of how delinquent tax payers can be made to pay their just taxes or how sequestered taxes can be. found may be discussed by the club. The three-mile-road law is not considered a fair one by the officials of the club as it is now being absued President Swayne said. According to the law a road may be built in the rural districts three miles in length leading into Richmond and the tax payers of the city are compelled to help pay the cost of the improvement. The residents of the rural districts are not taxed for city improvements and it is not deemed fair. According to President Swayne the roads are not merely macadam or gravel improved roads but in some cases curbing and gutters are also being built making an unnecessary expense to the city tax payers. The tax increase table recorded by County Auditor Bowman was discussed by the officers of the club last night. ' A resolution endorsing George Seidel for the appointment as one of the trustees of the Penal Farm commission, was unanimously passed by the club. Secretary Jordan and President Swayne Interviewed the governor last week and recommended that Mr. Seidel be appointed on the commission. Mr. Seidel was chairman of the original committee appointed three years ago by President Swayne to look into the advisability of framing a penal farm bill. The fact that more young men do not belong to the Commercial club is regretted by the members. Chairman John McCarthy of the membership committee reported that a campaign may be started to obtain a larger membership of young men.

OVER-CAPITULATION OF ALL INDUSTRIES This Is Issue As Big As the Tariff Cost Per Family.

BY CYLDE H. TAVENNER Member of Congress WASHINGTON, March 25. One hundred dollars annually! This is the amount the crime of overcapitalization, or watered stocks, costs every American famijy! This statement flows easily from the pen, but U can be best demonstrated by a little arithmetic. Various prominent financial students and authorities are responsible for the statement and their Conclusions are wholly sustained by reports of the United States Commission and the published figures of the National Corporation Tax Returns, that about $30,000,000,000 of the stocks of our Industrial or tariff trusts represent only water. On this stock, dividends of about $1,500,000,000 are being paid yearly, amounting to approximately $18 a persqn or nearly $100 an American family! This $1,500,000,000 Is not picked up out of trie streets. Where, then, does it come from? The answer is: from the pockets of the consumers. There is not a dollar of "water" or inflation in the capitalization of corporations which deal In commodities, or in railroad or other public service corporations, that does not Impose burdens upon the consumers and producers of this country. The above figures, which may be ac cepted as fairly conservative in view of the fact that United States Senator La Follette and various other studepts of the question assert that t&e amount of . watered stock is more than double the amount estftnated above, mean thi: That an average family in this country is paying a tax of $100 a year in supporting the over-capitalisation of our industries. Can there remain any doubt, then, as to over-capitalfza-tion's being one reason, a sister reason to high tariff, for the ever increasing cost of living? Watered stoejc is not only one of the prime causes for increased prices of commodities, but it is also an important cavUe of the present unsatisfactory condition of labor. To pay these dividends on watered stock, the trust magnates must either hold down wages abnormally low, or raise prices artificially high. The fact is they are doing both. Over-oapitalization, therefore, is obviously one of the most important problems confronting the American people today. Politicians, for some reason, refer to it less than they should. The subject ought to be one of the foremost political issues. Five hundred glaring Illustrations of the crime of over-capitalization could be cited. They would average like this: The Ckjcago & Alton was capitalized at $30,000,000. When turned over to the purchasing syndicate in 1899 it was capitalized at $94,000,000. The people aj"e not going to forever permit the Perkins' and the Morgan's and others financiers to strap upon their backs the burdens of these enormous overcapitalizations, wlfch constitute one of the principal causes of the increase in the cost of living. GIRLS DROP MOTHERS AT POINTjF DEATH Daughters of Camden Woman Attempted to Carry Her to Safety. (Palladium Special) CAMDEN, Ohio, March 25. Mrs. Elizabeth McShane, an invalid, 65, is lying at the point of death here as the result of bruises sustained when she was dropped by her daughters who were carrying her to the second floor of the house to escape the water which was coming into the house. Mrs. McShane is unable to walk and when it was seen that the water was coming into the house her daughters attemptad to carry her to the second floor, when they dropped their burden.

"RAWEST" KIND DF BALLOT STUFFING

Kerr Talks on Suffrage of Mexico Under Madero Regime. CHICAGO, March 25. Suffrage in Mexico under the Madero regime had the rawest kind of ballot box "stuffing" ever know in the Unlteed States outclassed, according to statements made to the Chicago association of commerce by R. J. Kerr, a local attorney in practice also in Mexico City. "The Madero slogan was effective suffrage and no reelection, he said. "But what did Madero do? Twentyfour of the twenty-six governors elected after Madero went in as president were elected by the same methods that Madero criticized in Diaz. The eleiction officer had his book in the electjon booth and f-nyone who came up a4 said, 'I want to vote' had his vote registered. Moreover, if his employes could not corrje over that day and vote, he voted Jor two or three thousand employe's. It is known that in some cass the election dftlcerB did not think eiough votes had ben rerecorded to satisfy Heir superior officers and they put down as many as they thought ought to vote, whether they did' or not. The first of the Maderos to' be killed," Gustavo, claimed to hold the key to Ae treasury house of Mexico; any one who wanted a concession, a contract or a right recognized by the government found it advantageous to seek Gustavo. There were seventyfive members of the Madero family in the employment of the Mexican government. Uncle Ernest, Secretary of the Tteasury, spent $10,000,000 which he had borroweed. . They aaked him what he spent it for and he replied: 'None- of your business.' Then he went to them and said: 'I want twengave it to him and ne spent It, and when they asked him what for, he replied: 'None of your business.' It was Congress who made these requests, the lawful representatives of the people, elected to disburse the public funds." CHARLESMOORE HURT Fell From Hay Mow Face Badly Cut. Charles H. Moore, of the Cam of Moore and Ogborn, was injured at his home at Fifth street and Richmond Avenue, while pitching hay from the mow of the stable: Mr. Moore slipped at the top of the steps and fell headlong down into a stall below. He was 'cut about the face and his wrist was sprained. His condition is not serious. ARREST T, H. CRING AFTER LONG HUN1 Apprehended At Logtnsport Wanted Here For Embezzlement.

You 11 grow urea pi the old-fashioned way of washing, with its long hours, washtub slavery and backache. Then you'll try the Fels-Naptha way." It is natural to keep on thinking that one 's own way is best. Which probably explains why there are still women enslaved by the old, hot, hard kind of washday. But there are a million women who have gone over from the big range-fire, the overheated house, the steaming suds and smell, the scalded clothes and the hard-rubbing to the Fels-Naptha cool easy washday.
