Gambling With Other Fellow's Money Among the myriadsof gambling stock promotions that are being continually used to entice the public's dollars from safe investment channels is the following. A moving picture company is organized with a capitalization of $500,000 preferred stock and $500,000 common. The preferred stock is to pay ught percent dividends and with each share of preferred stock goes a bonus of two shares of common stock, one share of the above mentioned company and one share in a second corporation having $500,000 capitalization, aQ common stock. The first company is formed for the purpose of financing and producing one feature film, the scenario for which is' the product of the company's president. The public is asked to provide all the capital for the undertaking by subscribing for the $500,000 of preferred stock at par. It is estimated the first feature film will be very profitable. The company's prospectus mentions that "The Birth of a Nation" film is supposed to have returned over 3000 per cent profit and is still running, and suggests that if the company's film "nets as much percent as 'The Birth of a Nation', every $100 invested will return $3,000, and every $1,000, $30,000." It's funny how small a cleverly written prospectus can make that little word "if" appear! To continue, out of these "if" profits the $500,000 preferred stock is all to be paid off together with its eight percent dividend. Thereafter forty per cent of the profits are to go to the common stock holders of the first company, forty percent to the promoters and twenty percent h to be paid into the treasury of the second company. The second company then and thereafter will continue the profitable production of feature f Jims and its profits will be divided as provided for in the case of the first company. ' Now note these points. The public is to furnish all the money required for this enterprise by buying the $500,000 preferred stock. The promoters apparently risk none of their own money. It will cost this company in the neighborhood of twenty-five per cent for organization expanses and for selling the preferred stock. So the $500,000 received from the sale of the preferred stock will have shrunk to $375,000 by the time the 'company is ready to proceed with business. Of course; all this will not matter "if" the company's feature film is as profitable as "The Birth of a Nation". That word "if", however, makes this proposition a pure gamble instead of a business enterprise. For "if" the feature film is a flat failure instead of a success, every cent of the public's money back of the project will be lost. i

The savings account at the paltry three per i

cent is better. In that case you have the growth represented by the three per cent as well as your principal intact. In the above case the chances are many to one you will never make the profits dangled betfore you for bait and will lose all your principal. Better still will it be to invest in good five percent, bonds or to make five or six percent on your money by owning your own home. Then, if you have the ability and perseverance to study the science of investing you can learn to inviest in equities. Thus you can build your way step by step to-financial independence, as the masons or carpenters construct a house in its logical sequence. But you will lose your money practically every time you try to get rich quick, and hand your hard earned savings over to some slick tongued stock salesman who promises huge profits.

Employers Must Make Returns Organizations and individuals generally are advised by Collecter of Internal Revenue Peter J. Kruyer to underscore on their calendars May 15. the last day for the filing of returns of information, giving the names and addresses of all individuals to whom payments of salaries, wages, rents, interest, commissions, and other gains, profits and income of $1,000 or more were paid during the year 1918. An extension of time from March 15 to May 15 was granted by the commissioner of internal revenue for the filing of these returns. "All employers of labor, whether in large or small numbers, are required to make these returns," said Collector Kruyer. "Organizations, such as corporations, companies, partnerships, etc., are required to file returns showing the salaries and wages paid to the officers and employes. "A separate return for each employe whose salary for 1918 was $1,000 or more is required. "Banks, trust companies, and similar institutions must make returns of information showing interest paid to, or credited to the account of, an individual if the amount so credited or paid was $1,000 or more. "Real estate agents are required to report the gross amounts received in rents or other income and remitted to their principals if such amounts for 1918 were $1,000 or more. The bill provides that whenever necessary the name and address of the recipient of the income shall be furnished by the person, corporation or partnership paying them. Returns of information must be filed with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Storing Division, Washington, D. C. Collectors of Internal Revenue are not authorized to receive such returns. Form 1099, upon which reports must be made may be obtained however, from the offices of collectors. "Returns of information must be accompanied by a letter of transmittal on Form 1096 showing under oath the aggregate amount of the payments. These forms also may be obtained from collectors. "The penalty for failure to make a return on time is a fine of not more than $1,000."

THEY'RE HARDLY THAT CRAZY, AL Houston Post. From the way Albert Burleson does things to make himself unpopular, hanged if we don't believe he is afraid the common people may kiss him, unless he keep3 them mad.

NIX ON THE "UNGRATEFUL CHILD" STUFF Indianapolis News. We've enjoyed rearing the Philippines so much that we hope, now that they're of age, they don't go out and marry some one that will turn them against us.

ANOTHER DREAM BUSTED Chicago News. It has been demonstrated that the women vote just about as the men do and that the world will have to get its millenium from some other source.

WHO IS OPENING THE GRAVES? New York Sun. Now that Felix Diaz has bobbed up again we may expect at any moment to hear from the Grand Duke Nicholas and William Sulzer.

ISN'T THAT "CRUEL AND UNUSUAL?" Anaconda Standard. Eugene Debs's prison sufferings are aggravated by the fact that necessarily he is also kept closely confined with his own thoughts.

ALRIGHT, NOW LET 'EM DO IT Toledo Blade. After deliberating three months or more the Peace Conference has decided that something ought to be done.

Too Much Wheat?

From the New York Times. THOSE who have been worried by the "vast food surplus" wSll have their worst fears confirmed by the official report that the outlook for the winter wheat crop la tlw best ever reported. The condition is the highest ever known ,on the largest acreage ever pown. The outlook is for nearly double the average production before thp war and Is 60 per cent above the production during thw war, when our exports were marvelous. There Is liLely to be 837,000,000 bushels of winter wheat, for which the government is pledged to pay $2.26 n bushel, or $1,89L620,000. That is a quarter billion more bushels than last year and 152,000,000 bushels more than the previous record. There is a similar alarming prospect of abundance of rye. We may not be ruined by too much cotton. The- farmers have taken the highest advice, and are assured that there is ample authority in law for them to coepire to reduce their acreage to suit themselves. If they keep faith with one another, there will bo a small enough yield of cotton to make it abnormally dear. If ever there was a country distressed by excess of materials for food and clothing, this is the one. However, there are considerations to alleviate the woe of those who think rather of supply than of demand. The director general latest statistics showed that there were 2,035 cars of provisions at this port awaiting export. At North Atlantic ports there were 10,256 cars of export food stuffs awaiting shipping to take them away. We are using 120 ships in bringing our soldiers home, and we are using every ship we can control in sending food to the starving. This combination of sense and charity is

moving congressmen to lament that we are thus engaged while other nations are making money. It's hard to suit everybody. There may be some who would be better pleased if we were doing the things they complain of others doing. But there are also those who are glad that our soldiers are coming back by boatloads and that the emptied ships go back full of $2.26 wheat. We are to have a vast surplus, but there will be a vaster need which it will meet, and, likely as not. at a profit rather than a loss. Not until all the world is fed is there any prospect cf wheat going begging. Those counting the cost rather than the good done are performing useful service. They keep the world in memory that there is abundance only because we risked a billion to produce it, and by that same token are entitled to ask fair payment from those able to pay and offering their credit where they have no ready cash. Nature is good to us, perhaps because we are good to the world. Let those anxious about the billion we are in danger of losing think more of the priceless service we are doing, and rejoice that it is in our power. As for the cotton conspirators. It is a privilege to feel that they may come to grief in their usual manner, by betraying one another. Usually those who enter cotton "combines" plant a little more individually in proportion to the prospect that the total planted will be reduced. There are almost always good crops in years like thlsrjust as there is almost always cheap cotton in "hold your cotton" years. This promises to be a dreadful year for those who think that abundance of new wealth from the soil spells ruin.

NOTICE3 TOO LATE Editor's Note The Palladium Is anxious to publish news of the activities In each of the Richmond churches every Saturday evening, but It cannot do so unless the ministers co-operate In the matter of turning In their notices early enough for publication. The Palladium's desire to publish all the church notices would be greatly facilitated If the minlstrs would arrange to have the notices reach The Palladium office not later than Friday evening. Several ministers submitted their church notices today too late for publication In this Issue.

What News Did Early Papers Offer Readers?

The nirif-Kt Richmond newsDaDer on

file it the Morrison-Reeves library is a Public Ledger dated May 7. 1826. This 13 not the first number published, however, as the paper was started in 1824. The Ledger was the second Richmond newspaper, the Intelligencer being the first. The aged newspaper is about the size of the Junior Palladium. It is very well printed, and the paper has lasted well,( although the sheets are frayed around the edges. It was printed and published every Saturday by Edward Buxton, on Front street opposite the Richmond hotel. The first page is devoted to poetry, fiction, and to a long article, telling in parable form the advantages of taking a newspaper. The parable is a tale of two brothers, one of whom subscribed for a newspaper while the other did not. The four sons of the one grew up honest, intelligent and manly and filled the high places of an intelligent farmer, a respectable trader, a manufacturer, and a law Etudent, while the sons of the brother who did not subscribe became a corporal in the militia, a horse-jockey, a fiddler, and the youngest went to the penitentiary. A feature story, about a beggar found dead of cold and starvation in a New York street, with $270 in his ragged pockets, clippings from other papers, a complaint of the mail service the mail lay in Centerville, the county seat three or four days before it was sent oh to Richmond, complained the editor, an account of voyage of the first steamer to travel down the Monongahela river near Pittsburg, which had just occurred, and other happenings, make up the other columns of the paper. The advertising column is headed, "New Goods." "Thomas Owens, Jr., has Inst received from Philadelphia a

1 new shipment of goods which were

purchased before the recent rise in prices, and will be sold on the usual

i terms," reads one advertisement

which sounds strangely fami.iar. Simon Quill, a local wag, conducted a "colyum," which took up the entire back page of the paper, under the of the "Fool's Cap." He carefully explained that the name did not refer to his "colyum," but to the paper upon which he wrote it.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

SAFETY-VALVES

I once heard a woman friend of mine, of large affairs, state that at times she would like to go out into the middle of the street and Just scream. I advised her to go ahead and do it that it would do her no harm and do lots of people good for the simple reason that so many people feel exactly the way she felt. The saving power of humanity seems to be its safety valves if they are used properly. But our civilization i3 so mixed up and runs so cross-wise that it really becomes a discouraging thing just to live at times. I have never been a believer in "pent-up" emotions. I have always noticed that the person who gave away to tears or even to temper, cleared the atmosphere and made themselves a better and more livable person, afterwards. It's the bad things in us, that we throw off and eliminate, and leave and drop and walk over, that make us more capable along the lines most worth while. If you feel like crying go ahead and cry. There's nothing disgraceful about it. In fact, it is one of the finest safety valves that I have ever heard of. We all have our enthusiasms and many of us have enthusiasms for things beyond our reach but all within our imaginations. Now to lose out on this fine force growing up within us, would be very disastrous. Then why not use our safety valves eo that there may be no overcharging of these fine elements that are sure to be demanded as our life develops towards its meridian? One of the most promising signs of the times is the increased activity of women into the affairs of general life. Much more than a man, is a woman an emotional mechanism, and her fine sensibilities, quick instinct and accurate discernment, demand as wide a field for conquering, as that of a man. She, too, must have the safety valves given to a man. So into every phase of useful activity should both men and women enter. For every new interest Is a safety value through which caged up forces may leave, to serve their good in the world and to make possible the new creations in a character. v
