THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. El JUGGLER SEEN Says Revolutionary Spirit Is Ram pant, Which Presages Laws to Stop Manipulations. / By B. C. FORBES. “How did they make their mil lion*?” • « • That question is often put to me when I seek to defend certain finan cial, railroad and industrial leaders against grave charges. I’m tempted to mention names that are freely held up as example* of men who got rich quick—too quick. For some of them no defense can be offered. They have been out-and-out >uggiers, polite swindlers, suave crooks. • * • “How can men working on salary —even $100,000 a year—become mil lionaires in a few years without hav ing been dishonest?” is another form of the query. * * • Well, the most charitable explana tion. and one near the truth in many instances, can be given in two words: “Inside information.” * * • LAWS ARE COMING THAT WILL FORCE “INSIDE INFORMATION” TO BE TRANSFORMED VERY PROMPTLY INTO PUBLIC IN FORMATION. THE “INSIDER’S” PRIVILEGES ARE TO BE CUR TAILED RADICALLY. * • • I have been tremendously impress ed by the depth and warmth of pub lic discontent over the tactics of speculating directors, over the in iquitous habit of many “insiders” in using exclusive^ information for their personal aggrandizement. * • • Directors are servants of security holders, not their masters. They are elected by stockholders TO SERVE them, not to deceive them. Too many directors forget this. Too many of them forget their responsibilities in their anxiety to turn their conferred powers into cash for their own bank accounts. • * • The handwriting points to import ant changes, to much-needed laws governing the action of directors and officers of corporations. • • * Guilt must be brought home to INDIVIDUALS, not to corporations. Some PERSON is responsible for every act committed. Very well, let the new laws aim at punishing the criminal MEN. * * • I hope to prepare a short, simple digest of the excellent British laws which cover this subject. These laws are singularly effective. They fasten responsibility on individuals, never on corporations. Occasionally there are financial scandals in Eng land, but Whitaker Wrights are thrown into prison there, whereas they go into palaces here and be come, instead of convicts, “gentle men” of note, fawned upon and flat tered and kow-towed to because of their wealth. * * * In this country we have sought tp hold the New York Stock Exchange accountable for financial exploits which ought to be dealt with by the law. The Exchange was wofully. lax in days gone by, but it is really be stirring itself now. Yet its power is limited. It cannot reach as far as the arm of the law. It is impotent to cure many evils that urgently need to be cured, and WHICH WILL BE CURED. * * • Let “insiders” hug no delusions on that point. THe people are nursing their wrath. The intensity of their indignation has been a revelation to me within the last few weeks. I al most tremble to contemplate the laws that are bound to be evolved out of the latent anger. * * * Huge fortunes will be rolled up less easily and at more risk by flim- flamming in the future. The public will find a way to learn “Where did you get it?” There will be fewer financial mysteries, fewer sensational episodes in the stock markets, fewer bursting bubbles—and more convic tions of high-placed individuals for schemes designed to enrich them selves at the expense of the public. Every dollar seized by the unscrup ulous manipulator has had to be earn ed by the toil of some genuine worker. Dollars do not spring into existence by printing stock or bond certificates. Someone has had to sweat for them. * * • This will bring upon me the cen sure of certain financial people. They will call it “yellow.” If these, my critics, were brought as dose to the oublic as I am by reason of the na tion-wide circulation of the Hearst newspapers and the confidence of the public in the honesty of our purpose, they would spend their breath, not 1*1 condemning me for voicing a warn ing, but in exhorting their own class to remove every occasion for reproach and every necessity for revolutionary laws. CASTOR IA Fur Infant* and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought HE NEVER M RATTLED Doesn’t Take Job Too Seriously, but His Tax Bill Has Every one Guessing. Representative Francis Adgate Lip scomb of Clarke, is poise personified. He never gets excited about any thing. and he always affects the cool- est-looking clothes he can find. No matter how accommodating the weather man may be by way of sup plying refreshing zephyrs and making unnecessary electric fans, Lipscomb comes forth from his lair daily ar rayed in spotless white or cream of lilies. Even when making a speech—which now and then the gentleman from Clarke does—he smiles continuously his most engaging smile, as if to say. “Don’t be aiarmed ; I really hate to do this} thing myself, and wouldn’t if it were not more or less necessary in my business!’’ Lipscomb, in other words, takes his legislative job seriously enough, but not too seriously. Most of his colleagues see in that a commanding and winning virtue. They recognize Lipscomb as a mem ber, earnest and purposeful enough, but w illing to give and takq—to com promise upon sensible grounds, when necessary, and to give the other fel low 7 credit for honesty of opinion *and the right to do his own thinking. In Athens Mr. Lipscomb stands high in the business world. He has served a number of times in the City Council and gave a fine account of himself there. Generally, he is looked upon as safe and sane, and apt to get his bearings right enough on any question. His proposed tax equalization meas ure is the most talked about bill now before the Legislature, and Is, in many ways, the most important bill pend ing. If it passes, and It is predicted that it will, Lipscomb’s will be the well de served glory. , U.S. TE1ISIE1 BETTING FURITE Americans and British in First Day’s Play for Davis Cup at Wimbledon Courts. J PRIZE PONIES Hot .Air Marks Claim To Perpetual Motion TURIN, July 25.—Tests have been made before -scientists here of a ma chine invented by a mechanician named Florio. by which, it is claimed, perpetual motion is demonstrated. The machine collects the inex haustible caloric energy of the air and transforms it into mechanical energy. The air is supplied auto matically, and the apparatus is in continuous motion by reason of the passage of the gas from the warmer atmosphere to the colder water.
