Reserves for United States and Canadian income taxes of $1,530,262.00 reduced the net proüts to $ 11.1 56.401.07. These net profits exceed tho net profits of the entire year of 1921. $10,409.690.80 by 7.2 per cent, and exceed also by 9.6 per cent the combined net profits of the fit-Ht four years of the corporation's business 1911 to 1914 inclusive, which amounted to $10,181,266.99. "At their meeting today, the directors declared the regular 1 3-4 per cent quarterly dividend on the preferred stock, and 4 per cent on the common stock, payable September 1st to stockholders of record at the close of business August 10th, 1922. The directors decided to put the common stock on a regular 10 per cent bais and to pay extra dividends as conditions permit, and

hence the 4 per cent declared today covers the 2 1-2 rer cent regular quarterly dividend and a 1 1-2 per cent extra. "Freed from the restrictions of war service, immediately after the armistice, the corporation entered vigorously into plant expansion and sales development in order that its products might maintain a forenioat position in the markets of the world. The new automobile plant erected at f?outh Bend, together with the South Bend plant previously devoted to the manufacture of horse-drawn vehicle, and the Detroit and Canadian plants, were developed by January 1st. 1922, to the production point of 4 40 cars per day. as against 225 capacity in 1918. "The corporation thus prepared itself to benefit from the unprecedented demand for motor cars which has prevailed this year, but it could only participate to the extent of its capacity, and it one regret this year has been the loss of sales of thou5ands of cars It might have made had Its capacity been fifty per cent greater.

LOUIS. July 31. Wilsonian democracy hangs in the balance in the decision of voters in Missouri's state-wide primary Tuesday with the United States senatorial race the gauge of the people'.1 sentiment. The hectic campaigns which marked the democratic race were ended Saturday night by United States Senator James A. Reed, who seeks to retain his seat at Washington, and Breckenridge Long, aspirant to succeed Reed. The dormant league of nations issue was revived by Long in his appeals to Missouri democracy to uphold Wilsonian doctrines. A victory for Reed Tuesday means a blow to the Wilson democrats. Long, in hin speeches throughout the state, has charged Reed with being "unfaithful" to his party and with openly flaunting his record before the voters of the state. The most bitter assiult mo.de by Reed upon his opponent was In his speech to a mass meeting in the Coliseum here Saturday night when he termed Long as bein? ' the best bet ever entered in a Flow race where the last horse is declared the winner." He was referring to Long's succession of defeats for office in this state. The republican voters will have a field of six-candidates for United States senator to choose from on their ballot. The only "wet" candidate in the race. William Sacks, has conducted his campaign by voicing openly a promise to sr.pport a modification of j the Volstead act. j The result of the primary next i Tuesday will rank with Pennsylvania, Iowa and Indiana In political significance, regardless of whether Sen.

' "If the present properties were disintegrated after 50 years of urnfled and uninterrupted operation." the brief said, "the effect would be to create new managements where there has been but one since the origin the properties and also to create a new and untried condition which has no prototype." Not only were the two roads "built, operated and controlled by the same persons." but the Southern Pacific was "constructed as a continuation' of b a lines of the Central Pacific and to "prevent duplication." counsel argued, adding that the "builder proceeded upon the assumption that the lines wou!3 be operated together, and through the 50 years of their existence the properties have never been other than t. unified whole, made up Integral "barts which were the out - come of a normal, natural growth."
