Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 51 Uncle Sam's Business Oligarchy Ninety-two principal banking houses, banks, life insurance companies, trust companies, railroad and industrial, and miscellaneous corporations in the United States, representing by their capitalization more than one-fifth of the total wealth of the country, are managed by 1,469 directors and partners. There are so many directors in one company who are also directors in other companies that as a matter of fact these ninety-two corporations and firms are controlled by about 1,000 men. More than a quarter of the directorships of these ninety-two corporations—or, to be more definite, 410 directorships—are held by 72 men. None of them is a director in less than two of the companies; some of them are directors in ten or fifteen. These remarkable facts go to show the extent to which concentration of financial power has been brought about through the simple method of exchange of directorships. Of the 1,000 men controlling these corporations and firms, 814 are directors or partners in only one concern. There are 227 others who hold 757 places, and of these 227, there are, as has been said, 72 which hold 410. The majority of those who serve as directors in only one company are men who are hired servants of that company; others are simply representatives of the larger financial interests which control it—in other words, "dummies." There are others whose interests in the company is large, and who, having no outside investment, give their whole thought to the single trust which they hold; but it is safe to say that these ninety-two corporations are, speaking boardly, controlled by the 257 individuals who hold 757 directorships, or one-half of the total number. A closer analysis would show that the 227 individuals who hold nearly a majority of the directorships of these institutions are in general subject to the influence of the 72 who hold 410 of the directorships. In selecting the companies and firms on which to base this conclusion, the idea was to take those which most conspicuously represent the financial power of the country. The three banking houses selected are J. P. Morgan & Co., Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and Speyer & Co. The six life insurance companies are the Mutual, the Equitable, the New York, the Metropolitan, the Prudential and the Provident Life & Trust. The banks selected are the City, the First National, the Bank of Commerce, the Park, the American Exchange, the Hanover, the Chase, the Corn Exchange, the Chemical, the Fourth National, the Citizens' Central, the Seaboard, the Manhattan and the Bank of New York, of this city; the First National, the Continental and the Commercial of Chicago; the Shawmut, of Boston; the Philadelphia and the Fourth Street, of Philadelphia; and the Third National, of St. Louis. The trust companies selected are the United States, the Union, the Security, the Morton, the Guaranty, the Farmers' Loan, the Central and the Mercantile, of New York; the Illinois Savings & Trust, of Chicago; the SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1905 Old Colony, of Boston; the Union, of Pittsburg, and the Industrial of Providence. The railroads in this list are the following: The Pennsylvania, the New York Central, the Erie, the Lackawanna, the Lehigh Valley, the Delaware & Hudson, the Baltimore & Ohio, the Reading, the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Louisville & Nashville, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Missouri Pacific, the Great Northern, the Atchison, the Rock Island, the St. Paul, the Illinois Central, the Wabash, and the Southern Pacific. The industrial and miscellaneous corporations include four of the six concerns, making the so-called beef trust—namely, Swift & Co.- Armour & Co., Morris & Co., and the National Packing Co.; the U. S. Steel Corporation, the Standard Oil, the American Sugar, the American Tobacco, the Mercantile Marine, the Western Union, the Commercial Cable, the American Telephone & Telegraph, the U. S. Leather, the International Paper, the International Harvester, the General Chemical, the American Locomotive, the Pullman, the National Biscuit, the Associated Merchants, the American Smelting, the Consolidated Gas, the Interborough and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit. This is an imposing list of American corporations. Yet about 1,000 men control them; and of these 1,041 men there are 72 who stand out as the dominating force, the business oligarchy of the United States. Their names are: J. W. Alexander R. A.

There are perhaps as many as 50 financiers of the first rank among the 1,000 men controlling the greatest banks, and insurance, railroad and industrial corporations of the country. These 50 men may be termed "the senate of American finance." It would not be too much to say that they are more powerful than the 90 men who constitute the senate of the United States, for they, who control the purse strings of the country—its productive and distributive energies—control the country—Wall Street (N. Y.) Journal. POLITICAL POT=PIE James D. Hoge will be surprised to learn on his return from the East, that his father-in-law is not only not secretary of the state board of control, but has no job at all. John W. Hanna, backed by Mr. Hoge, became an applicant for the secretaryship of the aforesaid board and, it is reported, Gov. Mead not only promised him the job, but told him to quit his $80.00 per month position with the city of Seattle, which he held, and to get ready to accept the position which he had tendered him to take effect the first of May, this Mr. Hanna did and went to Olympia a week or so ahead of time and was shown through the office and the duties of the secretary by the retiring official, but Hanna now realizes that there is many a slip between a political promise and the commission in his pocket, for on the first of May instead of being given the secretaryship he was informed that he would only be the bookkeeper for the board at a salary of $75.00 per month instead of secretary at a salary of $150.00 per month, which former salary is $5.00 less than the position he had quit paid him, and he would be compelled to live in Olympia all the time besides. It took Hanna just two seconds and a half to inform the governor, the board and all concerned could take their $75.00 per month job and go to —, where they did not have to build fires mornings, so far as he was concerned. Even political promises should be kept and the successful candidate who breaks his promises, when he is in office, will soon run his political course. No intimation as to the complexion of the railroad commission has as yet leaked out from the gubernatorial sanctum. The appointment of Fairchild still seems to be a thorn in the flesh among leading Republicans and it is the concensus of opinion that the people could not have been administered a worse rebuke than his selection. The Piemaker believes he speaks words that cannot be successfully contradicted when he says, "Among the Repulbicans of King county Fairchild has not a single advocate and all Republican would unhesitatingly declare the governor made a most serious mistake in his appointment." In Eastern Wash- eee ington,”’ said a prominent Republican poli- tision, who is a strong railroad commission man, ‘the appointment of Fairchild is unani- mously condemned and is considered a com- plete surrender on the part of the governor to the railroads. THREE CENT FARE. AML BOLEMIOM £0, APUICLE Le, OF the otate VONn- stitution, it is provided thus: ‘‘AIl rail- road, canal and other transportation com- panies are declared to be common earriers and subject to legislative control.’’ In section 18, same article, it is provided thus: ‘‘The legislature shall pass laws es- tablishing reasonable maximum rates of charges for the transportation of passengers and freight.”’ It will be seen by an examination of the constitution mentioned, that the legislature has absolute control and the right to regu- late the charges for the transportation of passengers and freight; that the next legis- lature of this state can enact laws fixing the rate of transportation upon street car lines within cities of the first class, or upon street car lines of the state the same as upon other railroads. In facet, they ean fix the fare to be charged for passengers and freight upon boats, railroads, street railroads and other common carriers of passengers and freight. The fact that an ordinance provides for a five cent fare can make no difference, as the ordinance was enacted after the adoption of the present constitution, and all ordinances of the city are subject to the constitution of the state. The same kind of a question was decided in the case of San Antonio Traction Co. vs. Altgelt, May 4, 1904, reported in 81 S. W. 106. The opinion is a thorough one, well sustained by authorities, and the court decided that under the constitution, similar to the constitution of the state of Washing- ton, notwithstanding the ordinance and con- tract fixing a five cent fare by the city of San Antonio, the legisltaure had the right to regulate the fares for transportation of pas- sengers and freight over street car lines. In the case of the city of Indianapolis vs. Navin, decided by the supreme court of In- diana, June 11, 1897, reported in 47 N. E. 525, the supreme court decided: ‘‘ Acts 1897, page 201, limiting fares of a street railway company to three cents does not impair the obligation of any contract made with the city when the company took possession of the streets, as the city has no power to de- termine stich fares as against the legisla- ture.”’ This case is so directly in point that argument is unnecessary. The legislature of this:state, under the constitution, has the power, notwithstanding ordinances of the cities fixing the rate of street car fares, to fix the rate of fares and freight. If the city of Seattle does not want to have municipal ownership at this time, it can get an act of the legislature fixing the fare at three cents instead of five cents. The horse car and mule ear fare of five cents, being a relic of the past ages, can be changed to a three cent fare under electric power. In fact the companies running electrie cars can make money in Seattle at a two cent fare. It is for the citizens of Seattle to say whether they ean afford a two or three cent fare or whether they will allow the Boston capitalists a profit of from two to three cents on every passenger and take their money to Boston THE -SEATTLE REPUBLICAN instead of leaving it in Seattle. Why should Chicago, Illinois, Cleveland, Ohio, San Fran- cisco, California, and other cities in the United States, in the near future, have a three cent fare or less, and Seattle, with the cheapest power of them all, continue in the old regime of a five cent fare? When Glas- gow, Scotland, and other cities, with muni- cipal ownership, make a big profit and have a surplus with an average two cent afre, why cannot we do the same? | TALES OF THE TOWN ee ee ee Quite in keeping with the efforts to secure a cleaner Seattle is the report of healthy pu- pils in the Seattle publie schools. Practically no contagion exists among the school chil- dren. In the Minor school two children who had such light attacks of scarlet fever that they were not sick enough to stay at home were found. They were then in the peeling stage, but their parents did not know that they had been afflicted with the fever. They were sent home and quarantined. It is as pleasing as it is surprising to note that in a city of Seattle’s size so little disease exists in the publie schools. Hach principle of the many schools keeps a close lookout for all simptoms of, contagion, and as soon as the least sign is appar- ent the child is sent home with instructions that a certificate from the board of health must be secured before it returns. Each absentee whose excuse is ‘‘sickness’’ must explain to the principal what the na- ture of the sickness was. By these means the general health conditions of the schools are far better than have been for some time. * oe # Those who live in the outskirts of the city can most appreciate the fact that ten addi- tional letter carriers have been put on for the outlying districts. The settled portion of the tide flats south of Atlantic street will be ineluded in the routes assigned these new men, and the deficiency which has hereto- fore caused no little amount of inconvenience will be overcome. * 8% In view of the fact that extensions are be- ing prepared for and additional eireuits are to be installed, it was decided to make a test of the municipal lighting sub-station, to see what would be the result when it was taxed with a capacity load. At the present time the plant is operating with bui a small por- tion of its eapacity load, but when the strain was put upon it, the station and circuits stood it ina most satisfactory manner. This is highly pleasing to those who are broad enough to see the advantages of municipal ownership, and the plant’s worst assailants ean not but admit that the station did not burn down, as-had heen predicted. ** # i There have been quite a few ripples upon the metaphorical waters of the license and revenue committee, caused by applications for the establishing of saloons on and near Pike street. Whether or not to extend the saloon limits on that street has been the question. It has virtually been decided to do so, and a saloon license has been granted to A. E. Hansen in the Federal hotel, on Third avenue, just west of Pike street. This is the same prospective saloon which caused FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1905. so much disturbance among the members of the First Methodist Protestant church, of which Rey. T. P. Revelle was pastor, owing to the fact that its doors, as they were then planned, would have opened directly oppo- site to the church doors. The present appli- eation contemplates the location of the sa- loon in the west corner of the building, thus relieving the close proximity to the church. Atlanta, Georgia, licensed saloons on one of its once busiest streets until the liquor houses crowded out all of the other places of business; women and children soon stopped traversing the street, and eventually it received the name of ‘‘The Bowery.’’ It is to be hoped that Pike street and its imme- diate vicinity in Seattle is not to be so doomed. ; * * * Superintendent Cooper and his co-workers showed much thoughtfulness when they ar- ranged that the city school exhibit for the Portland fair be placed upon exhibition for the benefit of the general publie before it leaves this city. There are many who will attend the fair, walk proudly through the Washington building, and also view with great pride the Seattle school exhibit. To them the exhibit in Seattle will be received gratefully. The parents, generally speaking, do not know enough of their children’s ad- vanecement, are not posted upon the methods used in teaching them, and are not in close touch with their instructors. The exhibits of the Seattle school children will be a rev- elation to many. * * * Now that the season for outings is fast approaching, and, as has been their wont heretofore, the citizens will go to Lake Wash- ington’s front, to the parks, for recreation, the park beer garden agitation is beginning to again loom up. No one blames the man who puts money before all else in life for wanting to sell to the pleasure seekers who go to the parks for recreation ; no one blames the man so addicted to the habit of consum- ing strong drinks that he is rendered miser- able without them for wanting the park dis- figured and the general public inconven- ienced, but there are other people and there are also other places where such drinks are sold in beer gardens, small parks in their way, and these are and ought to be sufficient. The individual members of the license and revenue committee have stated that they are not favorable to granting such licenses, but the board has not yet passed upon it, as di- rect applications for such licenses have not yet been made. ‘ Mi ommnlnomenst nifinns nt. Gaattla hace The employment offices of Seattle have been notified that Japanese laborers will not be accepted by the strawberry raisers on Vashon Island this summer. They claim the Japanese did such poor work last year that many of the boxes of berries were rejected by the dealers. They will endeavor to take only white workers, the preference being given to families. The picking season begins about June the Ist.

If you want a free trip to the Lewis and Clark Exposition, read our proposal in this issue of The Republican. There may be some varieties of "beer unfair," but the average union labor man even in Seattle is not aware of the fact. Cheering Roosevelt to the echo on the part of Democrats sounds good, but it must taste bad to the Tillman-Vardeman whelps. The American Federation of Musicians, in convention in Detroit, Mich., adopted a resolution requesting strong disapproval of all child labor, including juvenile bands. A magnificent municipal ownership campaign for Seattle is being planned by leading Republicans for the next municipal election, and some good work along this line may be expected. The writer of "A Fool's Diary," in the Mail and Herald, says: "When a boy I could sit patiently hour after hour watching the ant hill industry." He seems to be doing the same fool thing. What a pity. As law-abiding citizens you have rights that even corporations and capitalists must respect, but as anarchists you have no rights that the President of the United States will respect.—Theodore Roosevelt. Report comes from Italy of a young man who has two extra ribs and two hearts. Seattle possesses no such freak, but when it comes to men with two faces, why that's another proposition altogether. Members of the recent railway congress are in bad humor because they had a railway rate message from T. Roosevelt, and all because that message demanded fair treatment for the millions on the part of the "seventy-five.". ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Nan Patterson has signed a contract to appear in a New York music hall.

What a wonderful looking storehouse the bottom of the sea must be, for, we are told, something like 3,000 vessels of all sorts disappear in the sea every year, never to be heard from, taking 12,000 human beings and involving a money loss of $100,000,000. Now that the spring and summer building is being rushed every man who has a horse or two is pressing them into service for hauling purposes, and the humane officer needs to get busy. More than one horse unfit for labor is hauling loaded wagons on the streets of Seattle. A newspaper offered a prize for the best answer to the conundrum: "Why is a newspaper like a woman?"

Rockefeller intimates that the $100,000 gift to the Congregational missionary cause is but the beginning of a general distribution of his vast wealth. Well, if Uncle John does not move more rapidly along this line he will not be able to give the interest of his investments away before he dies, to say nothing of the principal. The mayor of Seattle wishes the Curfew ordinance enforced. The law as it stands is defective, but such as it is it ought to be enforced to the letter. Some of the children who are out alone after 9 o'clock are under 12 years old. Where are their mothers? If they have none, some kind of protection in the way of restraint ought to be supplied by the city. Governor Folk, in an address before the general Baptist convention of Missouri, said: "There has been too much of making laws to please the moral element and then not enforcing them to please the immoral element." The same is true in more states than Missouri. It reaches Washington, which includes Seattle. In seeking to further its own interest the Chicago & Alton railroad has taken a step which will in its reaction greatly benefit their employes. The employes are forbidden to drink, gamble or frequent places where intoxicants are sold or gambling permitted. The general traveling public will also derive apparent benefits from the same.

For instance, if one of them has to sew a button on his trousers he does not take it as mental relaxation at all. When Nan Patterson was being tried for murder the public had to be informed on many points concerning that part of her life in which Caesar Young had identified himself, but it is rather a pity that such eiaborate statements describing scenes reeking with the odor of saloons, beer gardens, and illegitimate meetings are given so much space in the newspapers. The "Then I said this and Caesar said that" grow repulsive to the average citizen who wishes to read a daily paper. In Russia every woman of the peasant class marries or pretends to marry. If she leaves her home for a time and returning, claims that her husband is dead, no embarrassing questions are asked, for among the peasants it is considered bad form to mention a dead man to his widow. In Seattle they have another way: The unproducable husbands used to go to Omaha, but now they go to Alaska. To inquire when they will "come out" (of Alaska), is where the bad form comes in. A measure has been brought forward by Alderman J. B. Buxton of Chicago which provides that landlords or their agents who refuse to rent a flat or house because there may be children in the family of the applicant be guilty of misdemeanor and subject to a fine. The alderman has since been notified by an anonymous letter that he may expect to depart from this land of sunshine and flowers at most any old time if he pushes the measure which he has introduced. Seattle stood in a fair way of needing just such a measure passed, but the situation has been somewhat relieved since so many "For Rent" cards are in evidence. "The man who dies rich dies disgraced," says Andrew Carnegie. The thought Mr. Carnegie doubtless wished to convey is, this busy world is so ripe with opportunities to aid the needy that, one who possesses the "wherewith" to do so and does not do it has failed to perform his duty. The thought is beautiful, but just then we turn the paper and learn that the wedding dress of Duchess Cecilia, who is to be married to the German crown prince, Eitel Frederick William, costs $2,400. The conclusion is, that people differ about the distribution of wealth, taste and some other things which go to make up a well rounded life. Dr. Richard Darlington, in attendance at the Friends' yearly meeting in Philadelphia, said, that violent forms of sport, commonly called athletics, caused the death of over 200 youths in the United States last year, and resulted in injuries, more or less serious, to 900 boys and young men. President Swayne of Swathmore College spoke in favor of the sports. He said, that experience of twenty-five years with the young convinced him that --- ATTENTION---ATTORNEYS HOW ABOUT YOUR LEGAL NOTICES?

There is the happy medium in the world of sports which, if struck and stuck to, will relieve the extreme situation as either man regards it. Plans are being matured by the owners of the Syracuse Smelting Company to install improvements and additional machinery to cost $20,000 principally to utilize scrap tin. The management states that enough scrap tin can be secured from the canneries and tin factories to keep the plant busy. When completed the factory will employ between seventy-five and a hundred men, which will materially strengthen Seattle's bucket brigade. The leading materials to be made include lead and tin pipe, shot, traps and sinker phosphor tin, wire and triangle solder, sash weights, etc. The sash weights can be made with the sediments left after the scrap tin is used up. There is said to be a demand for the above named articles in this city. ____ ITEMS OF INTEREST A French artist has just completed the largest picture ever painted. The subject is the funeral of M.

NEWS OF THE WEEK The national government officials have refused to enter the Yakima valley to reclaim arid lands unless the state with its private concerns withdraws completely from the field, which the state refused to do. At Pekin, Illinois, true bills of indictment have been returned against two of the high officials of the Standard Oil Co., and the governor has issued requisition papers for the accused. Mueh trouble seems to be brewing for this company. President Roosevelt ended his bear hunting outing Friday and returned to civilization, having succeeded in baging quite a number of bear and other big game.

President Roosevelt in a speech at Omaha on his return trip from his hunting tournament, declared he meant what he said immediately after the late presidential election that he would not be a candidate for the presidency again. The president said in conclusion: "There must be some good railroad legislation done by the next congress or there will be trouble for some one." An express train near Harrisburg, Pa., ran into a freight train loaded with dynamite and two fearful explosions followed resulting in the instant death of some fifty passengers and the injuring of as many more. President Roosevelt reaches Chicago on his homeward march and is banquetted by the Iroquois club, over which James Hamilton Lewis, a former Washington congressman, presided.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" is drawing the largest audience of the present season to the Third Avenue Theatre. The production is the best ever seen of the old play in Seattle, and is attracting hundreds of people who have seen the play many times before. "Little Eva" has the same interest for the children and the various characters are well portrayed by the members of the Daniel Stock Company. The twenty Negroes add much to the interest of the performance by the introduction of their Southern melodies, cotton picking and dancing. The play will continue throughout the week, with the usual Saturday matinee. Beginning with a matinee Sunday, the Daniel Stock Company will open its seventh week at the popular uptown play house, with an elaborate production of the beautiful Irish melodrama, "Robert Emmet." Mr. Charles E. Verner, the popular Irish character comedian, will be seen in the cast. 1922.12.20 (2) Sarah M.

Grace Van Studdiford's magnificent voice will be heard in the title role of De Koven, Klein and Cook's romantic opera, "Red Feather," at the Grand on Sunday night and three following nights. Lovers of music need no introduction to Miss Van Studdiford; her undisputed triumph in this most superb operatic production has placed her at the head and front of American singers in the musical world. The company of artists, comedians and singers, which has been provided for the support of the star is an exceptionally competent one and the result is a constant commingling of melody and humor. The chorus is large and composed of excellent singers. During the action of the opera Miss Van Studdiford renders some glorious numbers in which her powerful and highly cultivated voice is heard to brilliant effect. One in particular, the dashing bravanna song, "The Merry Cavalier," is a mastering of vocalization. The production as a whole is acknowledged to be the most magnificent and complete of modern times. The famous comedian, Nat C. Goodwin, will appear at the Grand Opera House next Friday and Saturday nights in "The Usurper" and "An American Citizen."

Tomorrow we’ll start the sale of this Stupendous Sample Collection in the same manner in which we bought it—at about half usual selling rates. Now is the time to supply your traveling needs for some time to come. It’s a rare opportunity. Come early. fn Ae pene Tene SEES Yes INTA SHEART ' ft HEART, ing ‘ Sein w |=) Seal NY PERSONAL. Rey. A.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NEGRO DYING OUT. Many people look upon the race question as one hopelessly without solution; but Prof. William Benjamin Smith, in his récently published vol- ume, “The Color Line,” is of quite another opinion. He believes that the race question is solving itself day by day, and the argument with which he backs up his belief is startling in the extreme. The conclusion reached in his book, frankly stated, is this: That the Negro race is gradually dying off, its poorer stock and its lack of endur- ance making it incapable of resisting the influences of modern civilized life. Just as in a few years we shall have no Indians te speak of in the United States, so thinks Prof. Smith in a few centuries we shall have no Negroes here. These statements he backs up by a strong array of statistics that make his argument practically im- pregnable.—Walla Walla Argus. What a beautiful theory for the man’s mind poisoned with race preju- dice, but what damn poor facts for the man’s mind that knows the truth. The Negro race in the United States is only increasing by natural means, while the white race (conglomerated) is not increasing by natural means, but at the rate of 12,500 in 24 hours by the immigration means and yet the Negro is more than holding his own.
