Owners of Corporations I
The Democrat has so often given
one side, it gives the other now by
Frank Fsyant, offering at least inter
esting reading.
Two and one half million investors
own the American corporations. Twen
ty million thrifty Americans are indi
rect partners in corporate ventures.
These two dry-as-dust statesments of
cold facts contrast strangely with the
highly colored figures of speech of cer
tain yellow purveyors of written mis
information, and with the fantastic
fairy-tale pictures of the yellow car
toonists. The car-seat student' " of
, American affairs, who assimilates
pseudo-political enonomy from head
lines and cartoons, has been lead to
believe that a few "Magnates" own
the railroads, the industries, and the
banks of the country, and that they
are leaeued together to enslave "the
common people." But the cold figures,
as revealed in the stock books of the
corporations, tell a very different story.
The widespred ownership of the cor
porations is striking evidence of the
faith the great body of industrious,
thrifty Americans have in corporate
enterprise, despite all recent disclos-
uieB of the misuse of corporate power
by the unscrupulous. This faith was
shown, as it never had been before in
our history. In the recent disastrous
financial panic, when hundreds of thou
ands of small investors came into the
market place with their savings to take
railroad, industrial, and bank shares off
the hands of thoroughly frightened
speculators and capitalists. .
The popular fallacy regarding the
ownership of the corporations has been
in part due to a very natural miscon
ception. The rapid growth of indus
trial "trust" and railroad combinations
in the past ten years has centralized
control, and the careless observer has
mistaken this for centralized owner
ship. But the centralization of control
has been accompanied by the spreading
out of ownership.
The steel corporation concretely illus
trates this among the industrial com
binations. Before the formation of the
steel "trustleta" of the nineties, many
of the mines, mills, and furnacos were
privately owned. A few rich men
owned these independent industries.
The public did not participate in the
profits, except in the form of wages.
Now, with centralized control, 110,000
investors are partners in the steel bus
iness and participate in the proflits. A
good many investors, it is true, paid
high prices for their interest, but as
many more, who had the patience to
await their opportunity, paid very low
prices witness the 27,000 newpartnora
who joined the ontorpribo in the panic
of 1907.
Southern Pacific is a good illustration
among the railroads. When this was
an independent proporty under the con
rol of the.Hun ting tons, it did not have
3,000 shareholders. Now that it is
part ofMr. Harriman's railroad empire,
the bulk ofjits stock is divided among
15,000 investors, and 15,000 more Union
Pacific shareholders participato in the
earnings of the big block of its stock
held.for their benefit. In a word, 3,000
partners received no dividends in the
days of the Huntington ownership, and
80,000 investors now di.-ide $17,000,000
a year under Harriman's control.
It Will Probably Be Chnmberluid.
Senator Fulton doesn't seem to be
doing much In the matter of the sena
torship of Oregon. He discharged his
ammunition, poor stuff, and has been
resting. Tuesday noon, Jan. 19, the
great tost will probably divulgo tho
fact that tho members are true to their
pledges, and it is doubtful if a single
man goos back on his word to voto for
the Governor. Whon it comes to the
test thero are very few men in the
world who will deliberately violuto
their signed obli Rations. Tho best de
ment in tho whole country, regurdless
of politics, is declaring that the only
honorable course is for Oregon to elect
Gov. Chambcrlnin, and this not only
from democratic sources, but from
republican sources.
Tanipct'liih Villi the Gjiiij l ow
Portland huntors, like a good many
other people In Portland, just think
about themselves, regardless about the
rights of other people in tho state
This is illustrated in the movement
there among the hunters to have the
game law amended so that hereafter
ducks cannot be killed alter uec. l
This would be a great injustice to hun
ters through the Willamette Valley,
whore tho principal hunting of ducks is
done aftor that time, mostly through
Dccembor and January. The legisla
ture will certainly not stop into such t
trap as that. There will probably be a
number of changes in the game 'aw,
but this should not be one qf them.
Thero Are Ulhc-
The principal consolation about this
weather I: that It is worse somewhere
else Id the U.iS.i .except perhaps in the
southern tier of states, where warmer
weather prevails. Through the east
generally the weather has been fierce
this week. Besides the cold people
have been afflicted with hard winds and
blizzards, as one dispatch reported,
cutting to the core. There snow and
blizzards are a matter of all winter,
five or six months frequently of such
weather. Here it is only a matter of
a few days at the most, as a rule,
only a day or two at a time.
Saturday Night Thougntt-t
There may have been more impor
tant things in the world than snow; but
in Albany this has been the absorbing
topic. It had to be. It was all around,
a foot and a half of It, and a foot on
the ground at one time by actual meas
urement. Not much of an advertise
ment; but as it is a freak and a very
uncommon affair like this it simply
shows us what people in the east have
to stand for months at a time Instead
for a few days. It is bo wonder peo
ple flee from countries where it pre
vails. A few days make' snow weather
a terror. Please just excuse us from
much of it, At the same time it is
part of life and It has to be taken with
the sugar. It will soon be a memory,

Congress has been in session, about
the only thing happening being a quar
rel between the president and Senate,
a grandstand affair, somewhat like i
Mexican bull fight, or a Nevada pugil
istic encounter. However it goes it
will be a draw, and the public will have
been faked. ' ' '
In Oregon members of the coming
state legislature have been going to
Salem preparatory to the session to be
held on Monday, with prospeccB of the
same old story, members trading and
backscratching to get - measures
through, either because pets, or in the
interest of some one, regardless of the
entire state. It promises to be a rec
ord-breaker as a money-spender with
out much in sight for the people, sev
eral schemes ahead to do them if
possible.
The world has been interested in the
great disaster of Italy,, resulting in the
death of nearly two hundred thousand
people. This week the people of the
world have been pouring their money
into the stricken country, the warm
heart of the world going out for those
in distress, if After all when it comes to
trouble of such a colosBal character we
are all of kin.
