Show MONDAY, DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. BIG CORPORATIONS . A new mining1 company has been incorsouthern part of porated for operations in the this state, the capital stock being fixed at $30,000,000. This sounds gigantic, but probthe substance. ably the sound is more than while Why didnt they make it $60,000,000 had they were at it ? If the incorporation been made in Utah we could readily understand why so modest a sum was named ; here we collect two bits on every thousand dollars of capital named, whether held or not ; but this particular company was brought into existence under the laws of the state of Maine, where they are not so particular. It is not so much that we need the money, but largely for the purpose of shutting out schemes whose office furniture greatest possessions are their and stock book, but which in some cases might otherwise lie able to make the world regard And them as having the Kohinoor in stock. when a company incorporates with a string of ciphers in its statement of assets as long as bull train, it looks a little an suggestive anyway. Corporations are useful, sometimes indispensable things. They make it passible for sums large enough to float great enterprises to be gathered together from small sources when no other plan would lie feasible. And it is not altogether improper to make capital stock stretch out some distance beyond the actual assets, thus providing a means of raising needed revenues in an emergency by methods which amount to, perhaps, the least objectionable and most available form of indebtedness. But all this does not justify the going beyond a rational limit to which so many promoters and speculators are given. It is such things that cause corporations to be looked upon as just objects of suspicion if not antagonism and the reason in chief why they are always at a comparative disadvantage when the merits of a contention between themselves and private citizens are being tested. On behalf of the Utah mining companies, we are free not only to admit but to assert that they are less addicted to inflation than are those of some other communities. Such a thing here is doubtless the exception and a rare one at that. There is more than one reason for this. Investors long ago learned that not the showing on paper but the showing in safes, in actual property and in ores in place are what give vitality to shares and that any attempt to advance such values by other means are of necessity more or less fraudulent; also they have learned by sad experience that mining enterprises, however meritorious to all appearance, are not more risky than any old-fashion- ed others. We know but little of the possessions of the company spoken of, but have some general information. It undoubtedly has some good property a great deal of it. It is sincerely hoped, and will be believed if belief is created by a showing of the facts, that it has thirty million dollars worth. But tha t is a good deal of money, a sum whose equivalent in mines would mean that the region in which said companys property is situated is the richest, not only in Utah, but in the whole Western country. We are all more than As practical willing for that to be case. workings are promised at once, to be pushed right along without let or hindrance, the public should not have to wait very long to get a 1904 same.
