The seriousness of creating a body corporate and granting certain individuals cor. porate existence and powers has never been fully appreciated, and the result has been the tolera- tion of many abuses. Interlock- operations, though often complicated, are simple in prin- ciple. Men owning or controll- ing fifty-one per cent. of, say, the-stock of a railway company control it. They can organize themselves into a car-building company in which they own, say, ninety per cent. of the stock. As a car-building company they can sell cars to themselves as a raii- way company and pay an exces- sive price. For every dollar the railway company loses through an unfair bargain they lose fifty- one cents and gain ninety cents. This illustrates the principle underlying a multitude of dis- honest operations through inter- locking directorates. Many rail- ways are impoverished by sub- sidiary companies. The men who of fifty-one per cent. of the stock of bank can organize themselves into other companies is ing secure control t a Sn) (ees |themselves for various projects. |}Men in control of a realty com- |pany ean distribute its funds to by buying property from themselves, or can organize themselves into a building con- struction company and make ad- vantageous contracts with them- selves.

The grave abuse of over-capi- talizing and over-honding rail- way companies would be re- strained, according to the presi- dent’s suggestions, by authority to be conferred on the interstate commerce commission. It is in- tended that bonds and stocks shall be restricted in par value to money actually invested. Railways are sometimes by mis- management loaded with bonded debis that make their capital stock of little or no value. Stock is issued for variuos services and on slender pretexts.

Buyers of inflated stock who do not know that it does not represent actual invest- ments claim that rates should be allowed sufficiently high to pro- vide them dividends the par value. The public feeis an obli- gation to provide such dividends, so over-capitalization becomes a public charge.

GOOD TORY money actually invested can WHO SEES NO WRONG IN BOWSER EVERY DAY SEES GOVERNMENT CRITICIZED IN LEGISLA- TURE—CONTINUAL CONCENTRATION OF EXECU- TIVE POWER By John P. McConnell.) Press Gallery, Victoria, Jan. 30.—Not a day has passed in the the debate on address began that one or members have not taken a slap at the administration, at either its methods or its policy. Lorne Campbell of Rossland landed a resounding whack on the extravagance of the govern- ment in spending huge sums on fire wardens and wardens when tbe money should be spent on useful public works. He it was impos- sible to travel ten miles in Brit- legislature the more since constables, frame said A LOVELY EVENING CLOAK Of the softest electric blue silk brochu, artistically draped with black chiffon velvet, sup- plemented by a becoming hood surmounted with a snow white 1S DISLIKED ish into one or the Columbia without other bumping of these officials, and he recommended that a system of mounted police who ,could perform all those du- ties should be adopted. In this contention he is on all fours with the Liberal party. So we have now seen the land policy, the timber policy, the agricul- tural policy, the taxation policy, the administration of justice, the extravagance and lack of foresight of the government one after another ail condemned and criticized on the floor of the house by its own supporters. No wonder Sir Richard plain- tively pleads for criticism from the opposition. Criticism from political enemies would be duck soup compared to that which is handed out by the government's own supporters. W. Manson of Skeena, Pooley of Esquimalt, and McKenzie of Delta are so far the only speak- in the ers who see no evil ernment and no good in the Lib- erals Skeena and Esquimalt both roundly condemn the tour of Liberal leaders in this prov- ince. In their eyes this tour and the things the leaders say are little short of lese majeste. Both these gentlemen represent the good old type of Tory, who be- lieves that that the earth and the fulness thereof belongs to the Tories, because- forsooth the Tories made all the good things therein. They gov- complain that the Lib- eral policy is mot constructive, but is only destructive. If there were a few Liberals in the house the Liberal platform might be cited to show that every plank in it is constructive and progres- sive, and it might also be pointed out that the government's record has been destructive of almost every tenet of political morality. But as there are no Liberals in the house to answer these gren- tlemen they are permitted to get away with their foolish state- ments, even though they are made before a house that yawns and engages in conversation or entertaining reading while they are getting off their fulmina- tions. Not the least of the causes of dissatisfaction with the admin- istration in Victoria is the per- sistent concentration of execu- tive powers in the various de- partments, especially those for which the attorney-general is responsible or over which he ex- epcises his domineering proclivi- ties. Session after session of the legislature sees more and more of local control of affairs, public and private, pass into the hands of the lieutenant-gover- nor-in-council, That mouth- fox collar. filling phrase does not mean the | actually understood the duties of be} that the lieutenant-governor has the office to which he aspired. anything to say in the various matters which come before the council.
