New Jersey Charters.
Savannah News,
There is no doubt, of course, that
New Jersey charters are good, but
the state is getting a rather hard
name for issuing them with such a
free hand and without investigating
the character of the applications for
them- The New Jersey authorities
must know that many of the appli-
cations have nothing but wind be
hind them, and that it is intended
to make the charters valuable by
means of water—that is, water in
jected into the shares.
A question that is being quite
frequently asked aB this: Is there
not a moral obligation resting on
New Jersey to issue charters only to
companies or trusts that it knows to
have ample means 40 carry into ef
fect the purposes for which charters
are granted? It may be sajd that it
is none of the state’s affair if it is
the purpose of those seeking a char
ter to defraud the public, u’hat is
an untenable position. By granting
a charter without knowing whether
or not it is to be put to an honest
use it puts itself in the position of
not caring whether or not the pub
lic is defrauded.. ,
It has been recently stated that
the amount in fees and taxes whioh
New Jersey has collected from char
(era is over $18,000,000. That
amount went a long way towards
paying the taxes of the people of
the state for a number of years, and
doubtless had the effect of prevent
ing an outcry against the liberal law
under which dharters are granted.
Of course, a large amount still comdB
into the state’s treasury from taxes
on charters and some from fees, but
the amount from fees isn’t any
where near what it was during the
boom time of the trusts.
The trust business was overdone.
Hundreds of the companies formed
under New Jersey charters have
been unable to dispose of their se
curities. It is claimed that the an
nounced capital stock of all the trust
companies to which New Jersey haB
issued charters within the last few
years is greater in amount than the
value of all the railroads in the coun
try. In fact, it is equal to seven-
eighths of the valuation of all the
property of the United States.
Some time ago we called attention
to the faot that the governor of New
Jersey had cancelled nearly a thous
and charters of trusts in a single
week for failure to comply with the
provisions of the law, and in all
some 2,300 of these New Jersey
corporations have gone into oblivion
because they have failed to keep
their records with the New Jersey
tax collectors clean. If all the cor
porations had succeeded in floating
their shares there would be many
fortunes wrecked and a large amount
of savings lost when the trust boom
bursts. There is a chance of being
trouble enough as it iB.

The largest production of hemp
for one year under normal oondi-
itons in the Philippines was 110,000

islands being made to produce suffi

whole world. Hemp needs no culti
vation. Oare must only be taken
that it is cut in the proper season.
The natives cannot be excelled the
world over in the preparation of
hemp for the market.

this year will aggregate in value one

PERSONAL
To Sufferers From
Kidney and Bladder Diseases
No matter how long you have suffered, FOLEY’S KIDNEY
CURE will help you. This we will GUARANTEE.
It has cured many cases of Bright’s Disease and Diabetes that
had been thought incurable, however we do not claim that it will
cure these diseases in advanced stages as no medicine can make
new kidneys for you, but
will positively cure every case of kidney and bladder trouble if taken
in time, and even in the worst
cases of Bright’s Disease and
Diabetes it always gives com
fort and relief.
He Could Not Straighten Up
ma.de “robust and rosy cheeked” by
the use of this marvelous medicine;
Remember when the kid
neys are affected the work of
destruction never ceases, so
commence taking FOLEY’S
KIDNEY CURE at once and
avoid a fatal malady.
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE
is made from a prescription of
a specialist in kidney diseases
and was used for years in pri
vate practice before it was
put on the market.
Thomas Maple, Birbeck, 111., writes: “I had a very bad
case of kidney trouble and my back pained me so I could
not straighten up. The doctor’s treatment did me no good.
Saw FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE advertised and took one
bottle which cured me and I have not been affected since.
I gladly recommend this remedy.”
Three Physicians Treated! Him Without Success
,W. L. Yancy, of Paducah, Ky., writes: ‘‘I had a severe
case of kidney disease arid three of the best physicians in
southern Kentucky treated me without success. I then took
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE. The first bottle gave imme^
diate relief and three bottles cured me permanently. I ^
gladly recommend this wonderful remedy.” * , '/
Suffered Twenty-Five Years
Seymour VTebb, of Moira, N. Y.> writes: “I had been ^
troubled with my kidneys for twenty-five years and had
tried several physicians but received no relief until I bought
a bottle of FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE. After using two
bottles I was absolutely cured. I Earnestly recpmmehd
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE.” 1 . - ,
