■ EXPOSES THREE ; FINANCIAL FAKES ] Politicians Mislead Public fieI Qarding Corporations, Credit, I and Railroads, Says F. N. Shepherd. 3 FALLACIES MET WITH FACTS - Declare* People Will Make Short | Shrift of Those Deceive Them When Aroused to Truth of Own Interests. - Three great ipisrepresentaiions, by I which certain politicians have ad J vanced their own interests at the ex- | pense of public welfare, were recently T declared by F. N. Shepherd. Executive ■ American Bankers Assocla- £ tion, in an address at Kansas City, J Missouri, to be. the oft-repeated stateI meats that “Wall Street" owns the j corporations, that the Federal Reserve | Banks discriminated against agricul- -> tore and deflated the farmers, and that g there are seven billion dollars of “wa- ■ ter” in railroad capitalization and j rates should be reduced accordingly. What Facts Tell J In regard to the alleged ownership ■ of the corporations by “Wall Street," -> Mr. Shepherd showed that the setMiri- - ties of American corporations are very E widely held by the people. The Union Pacific, he pointed out, has over 50,000 | itockholders and the Pennsylvania “j. Railroad 147,000 stockholders, 67,000 g of whom are women, with an average • ownership of 47 shares each. Tne _ American Telephone and Telegraph F Company has 200,000 stockholders, 120,000 of whom are employees, and j the United States Steel Corporation bas 174,000 stockholders. According “ to a recent report of the Interstate o Commerce Commission, he said, Class 1 I railroads have a total of 777,132 ; stockholders, there being, therefore. < practically as many owners of shaies i M there are employees. | “The real capitalists of America,” .'onttnued Mr. Shepherd, "are these * ind the bondholders whose funds are invested in securities through their < thirty million savings accounts, and through their ownership of over 71 million life and industrial insurance policies. Once arouse these people to the fact that it is their interests which ire being attacked through these misi representations and they will make ; ihort shrift of those who deceive them* | Truth About the Federal Reserve t “As to the Federal Reserve System. 5 .nstead of its discriminating against t the farmer, exactly the opposite is true. During the period of greatest ~ iecline in the value of agricultural products, about which there has been i to much loose talk, rediscounts witti I Federal Reserve banks in non-agricul-J tural districts actually decreased by 23 per cent, but in agricultural districts rediscounts were tfctually inireased by 56 per cent. The Federal Reserve Banks of the big cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Cleveland poured into other Federal Reserve Banks in agricultural districts literally hundreds of millions of iollars. “As to the alleged seven billions of ‘water 1 in the railroads, a physical valuation of the railroad properties has been under way for the past ten years, as a result of the La Follette Act. conducted by a body of unprejudiced, non political experts by whom the valuation has been placed at $lB.>00,000,000. Although it has been officially stated, and reiterated, that, in arriving at this figure, no consideration whatever was given to capitalization. politically-minded men are still deceiving the public, and particularly the farmers, about the ‘water 1 in the railroads. Railroad stock today la aot watered. Any possible fair scheme of valuation today proves that our railroads are worth from one to two billion dollars more than their capitalization. No Railroad Income Guarantee “Further, demagogues are talUng people that the railroad Income U guaranteed. The Esch-Cummins Act doe* not puarentee any return to railroad stockholders, a* the demaeoguee constantly assert. By it* term* the Act simply provides a yard stick for /•ate making, which is that a fair railroad rate I* one which would show “I a return of 5% per cent upon the aotual value of the property used in transportation in a given territory. "This provision bears no relatloa whatever to tailroad capitalization *moreover, no relation to individual railroads, some of which might show earnings under such a rate-mak-ing provision in excess of six per cent, and some much less. No consideration whatever is given in the Act er in the administration of the Interstate Omaorea Commission to railroad capitalisation or any return upon it.” MIDDLEMAN’S PROFITS.

Ind., April 28.— The closed season on large and <mall-mouth black bass and blue rill starts May 1 and ends at nidnight June 15. Between such lates it is unlawful to take these •sh from Hoosier public waters This law was enacted in 1921 ecause unsportsmanlike people ersisted in taking fish off the lests during the spawning perod. As a protective measure to lot only save the game fish but o aid in reproduction, it has >een a great success, and accord ng to George N« Mannfeld, chief f the fish and game division of he state conservation department, these species have multilied greatly since the protectve season was established. Mannfeld says the spring sea-j ons of 1921 and 1922 were very! nvorable for reproduction of ( hese fishes in Indiana streams, I ut that due to the late spring f 1923 and the roily waters causd by heavy rains and strong vinds, that was not inducve to prolific reproduction. Bass nawned in 1921 now are over 10 nches in length, the required ize before they caij be lawfully aken. The Indiana law permits ne person to catch 12 black bass c day and if two. persons fish ‘ ’>om a beat they may take 20. r here is no size limit on bluenils but it is unlawful for one L o take or possess more than 50 >f these fish any single day. o REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS | (By Houton C.

Every county of the j state will have a delegation of ! students and in many cases a i number of other citizens there i for the anniversary of the open- ! ing of classroom work at the j state university 100 years ago. i The ceremonies will take the | form of a convocation of students j faculty and visitors during the i morning, and in the afternoon ) the placing of a marker on the j exact rite of the first building i and a pageant depicting the his- J tc-rical development of the uni- ] versify from its earliest begin- I nings as a seminary to its nres- j ent position at the oldest of the ] western state universities.
