Will the Knight companies discon tinue the payment of monthly dividends divi-dends in favor of quarterly payments? holders and speculators are now busying bu-sying themselves trying to solve, and its asking grows out of a rumor, well defined, but so far Impossible to either ei-ther confirm or deny. ' Not Denied. During the past lew days the ques tlon bas been asked many times, as to whether or not the dividend pay- menu hereatterareto be guarterly or monthly, and in an. effort to decide the matter for the benefit of readers and stockholders, the NEWS called upon up-on General Manager ,W. .Lester Man-gum, Man-gum, of the Knight companies, and asked him the question. "I am not prepared to say, at this time, whether or not the payment of monthly dividends will be discontinued, discontin-ued, and the practice of -paying quarterly quar-terly dividends, adopted in its- stead," was the answer. Questions of that kind must be answered an-swered by the directorates of the companies." com-panies." Would Be A Benefit. It is, however, a well known fact that a very large office force ia constantly con-stantly maintained for the principal purpose of attending to the payment of the monthly dividends, and that there Is hardly room in the Knight offices of-fices for the force necessary to attend to this part of the business. A great amount of expense could p saved. ty ine payment oi me aiviaenus quarterly, instead of monthly, in the reduction of the office force and "the other expense incidental to its employment, employ-ment, and. as expense saved ia equal to -revenue earned,, the difference would necessarily go to Increase the revenue of the stockholder, in one way or another. . , Tbes facts, which are apparent, taken In conjunction with the rumor and the fact that Manager Mangum will not deny the truth of the latter, lend color to the whole story to such an extent that It Is being generally credited by' the stockholders, and when the time of the next , meeting of the directorates of the Iron Dloa. mom end Colorado Conso'lds'ert oc-" oc-" cam. it wt ocrisfon ver-4Ht'e but prise If.
