H year and aa to the time of sunrise and sunset in the latitude of
H Ogden.
H The shortest days are on December 21 and 22, when the sun
H rises at 7:30 and sets at 4:34. The large mountain to the north of
H Ogden ia tipped by the sun's rays at 7.20.

B SOCIALISTS OF GERMANY.
B T"6 Socialists have made large gains in the elections in Ger-
B many. They have won seats from thc Liberals and Conservatives
B and now 2ivo Promiso of bcins M strono as tu&y wer m 190?' .
B The Socialists of Germany differ somewhat from the Socialists
B of America in that they have a well-defined policy and place hm-
H itations on their demands as to industrial changes, although as a
B political force, working within a monarchy, they arc comparatively
H more radical than the Socialists of this country. Here arc a few
H of their principles:
H Abolition of the monarchy.
B Abolition of the bundesrath and thc upper houses of the state
H Bej?islatures.
B Abolition of thc standing army and creation of national guard.
B Responsibility of thc cabinets to the parliaments.
B Election of all officers by popular vote.
HI Initiative, referendum and per capita representation to all
H legislative bodies.
H Nationalization of all means of production.
BrN Heavier tax assessments of the great fortunes and incomes.
B Manhood suffrage and ballot for women.
H 1 Abolition of indirect taxes and of the duties on thc necessaries
H i of life.
H Shortening of hours of labor by law.
t Prohibition of child labor. ".;'.'; "
Hh Stringent women labor laws.
Hi Compulsory better safety devices.
V Creation of industrial courts on broader lines.
H, Improved inspection of industrial plants and home industries.
H Home rule for the communities.
Br The Socialists of Germany would make fairly good reformers
fl In thc United States; they are, in fact, advocates of a republican
H form of government. With Germany marching onward toward a
H better government, with one of its moat successful parties cham-
B pioning greater reforms than any party in thc "United States, it be-
H gins to look as though this country is no longer the only cradle of
Hj liberty.
j There arc forty parties in Germany, but only live nave an
B large foUowing, and they are thc Center, Conservatives, National
Bl Liberals, Radicals and Socialists. The Socialists have no friends
B om'ong the ot'her parties and arc hated, by thc emperor, who has
B ' termed t'hem "the arch enemies of thc empire," Their growth has
B oeen almost phenomenal. In 1S71 they polled 113,048 votes; in
H 1877, 493,258; in 1890, 1,427,298, and in 1907, 3,258,000. This growth
B nns comc 'm thc face of most dctermiucd opposition from the gov-
B ornment, which suffers no Socialist to hold any important govcrn-
H ment position or to receive any political honor, decoration or title.
B Tlie Conservatives are, above all, a government party and the
B representatives of the great landed proprietors of North Germany,
B especially Prussia, thc eastern provinces of which form their strong-
B hold. They are strongly monarchists, opposed to every step that
B ma.v lea1 to a more direct participation of the common people in
B governmental affairs and opposed to the general franchise, favoring -
B instead "a franchise based upon the organic groups of the people."
H The Center or Catholic party is thc strongest party numerically
HI in thc Reichstag and has been the strongest almost without excep-
M tion since 1874. From this it comes that thc Center has always held
B the decisive vote on all questions and the government has always
H had to reckon with it. Its moving principlo is the protection of the
B interests of the Roman Catholic church and its equality before the
m law with the evangelical or state church. It supports a high tariff
m and since 1S98 has been a government party, allied with the Cpn-
H servatives on all important questions and building thus what is
H called the "black-blue block."
1 The National. Liberals, since thc formation of the black-blue
Hj block, may be said to constitute a middle party, midway between
M the extreme monarchists and the extreme democrats. Once the all-
' powerful party of Germany, whicti, supporting Bismarck, played an
H important role in the formation of thc modern empire, the National
M Liberals have fallen from a high estale.
Hi The Radicals, who term themsolvgs, the "Progressive People's
HI Party," arc made up of three previously existing radical factions
B the Radical Peoplo's party, the Radical fLeague and thc German
1 People's party, all of which had delegates in thc last Reichstag. In
H March, 1810, these three principal parties 'of thc left wcro united.
H The Radicals arc an outgrowth of thc old Progressive party, which
Hi "was organized-in 1848 by advocates of- free trade. The present
M coalition advocates a systematic abolition of the protective tariff,
H and equal rights for all citizens and all 'religions, with absolute re-
HT ligious freedom for the individual. The program flatly demands a
M "responsible, collogial imperial ministry" Peaceful arbitration of
H all international disputes' is a cardinal point in the party program

' both financial and commercial sentiment The improvement was T
not so observable in any increase in the volume of business
as in the recognition of the fact that, while copditions arc conflict
ing and in some respects unsatisfactory, corrective forces are stead
ily at workt Hero and there arc signs of abatement in general un
rest which is beginning to show itself in a more rational attitude
in political circles toward large corporations. The only exception
is a fresh outbreak of thc investigation mania in form of an inquiry
regarding thc allcgod "money trust." While. trusts and the tariff
aro still the first subjects of importance in the public mind, the
chances of their being reasonably dealt with arc much better than
three or sis months ago. No radical action on trusts is probable
during the present session of congress, which will bo chiefly devoted
to active and possibly somewhat heated discussion. There is, how
ever, some prospect of positive action on the tariff question, the
greatest likelihood being a sharp cut in the steel schedules and the
placing of iron ore on the free list As for cotton ind wool sched
ules, these also may be revised, but at the moment it looks as if
the steel would comc first. Thc labor outlook is somewhat uncertain,
but the sorry disclosures connected with thc McNamara cases 'havo
had a sobering offect upon lnbor, and arc likely to result in thc selec
tion of a higher type of leadership in tho future, a result which
would benefit labor and capital alike by moderating class warfare
and facilitating settlement of the differences between employer and
employe b discussion and not force. The issues of the Presidential
campaign arc now sharply defined, and their outcome can already
be somewhat foreseen. Public sentiment is pretty definitely formed,
and the chief doubt regarding the future is that of personality con
corning the different candidates. This, of course, may remain un
settled until the conventions next summer, although it is not im
possible that the successful nominees will be correctly guessed at
in advance. -
On the Stock Exchange there has been a quiet and fairly hope
ful feeling. Thc investment demand, however, experienced in Jan
uary has not thus far made itself felt with the usual freedom. Bonds
are disappointingly dull. This may bo explained by the general
feeling of caution among investors and the unwillingness of largo
buyers to take hold until conditions become more settled. Another
factor is insistence by the holders of capital for better returns. Lpw
interest-bearing mortgages and bonds are slow to sell in spite of
safety. This desire for safety in investments is illustrated by the
phenomenally large output of bonds during 1911. Thc actual out
put of new securities last year is now estimated at about $1,730,000.
000, including approximately $990,000,000 bonds, over $390,000,000t
short-term notes and only about $352,000,000 in stocks. This tre
mendous preponderance of bond issues over stocks is highly signifi
cant. It means not only n large increase in the fixed obligations
for railroads and industrial concerns, but also shows the strong pref
erence of investors for bonds in order to escape the uncertainty at
tending ownership of stocks. Recently the new issues announced
have been comparatively small, but it is understood that important
issues arc still pending and awaiting favorable conditions. In this
connection it is interesting to observe that somo of our financial
institutions arc contemplating the issue of notes and mortgages bear
ing more liberal rates of interest than have previously been custom
ar In other words, they are willing to raise their bids for new
capital. Undc present conditions it would be bettor for our rail
roads to issue short-term notes than bonds. Investors would take
thc notes more readily than bonds and thc roads would avc'l fur
ther piling up of long date fixed obligations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12
4- Andrew Carnegie concluded UIb -t-
testimony today before the
. house '"Btoel trust" Invcstlgat- -h
ing committee. He admitted -t-
that In 1900 he 'contributed
$15,000 to oppose tho policy
-f of Imperialism and the annexa-
tlon of tho Philippines, that
ho assailed Wall street and
branded "stock Jobbers" as
"parasites," urged the Roose- -f

to that of President Taft, and
asked congress to consider
carefully that problem.

After a day of examination on many
subjects, Mr. Carnegie wbb subjected
to a Are of questions which put him
on his mettle. Chairman Stanley elic
ited from him an attack, on stock job
bing -which" would probably influence
legislation to be proposed by tho com
mittee, and Representative McGilll
cuddy of Maine took the Ironmaster
over some unexpected political jumps.
"Mr Carnegie," asked Chairman
Stanley, 'In the organization of the
Carnegie Steel company of New Jer
sey, why did you divldo your stock
Into $1,000 shares?"
"To keep them off ihe stock ex
change," was Mr. Carnegie's quick
roply.
"Why did jou want to keep tiieni
off the stoek exchange?"
Keep Employes From Speculation.
"Because I did not bollevo in stock
jobbing. Becauso I did not wish to
have my partnors in business tempted
to speculation I never in my life
bought or sold a share of stock on
the speculative markot. I was roared
differontly. I had a grandfather ruined
In Scotland by stock speculation; 1
resolved that it was ruinous, wbon a
young man. Throughout my business
careor I never bought long nor sold
short."
Chairman Stanley, producing an old
document, read from a statement
made by Mr, Carnegie many years
ago in which the ironmaster said:
"Stock gamblors aro parasites feed
ing on values and creating none "
"Are you still of that opinion?"
"Mr. Stanley, the other day yoa
referred to something I said about
competition, and you ald you would
like to have it engraved on a mem
orial tablet." Mr. Carnegie answered.
"I wish you would take the quotation
you have juBt read, engrave it on a
tablet and put it in tne stock ex
change." "Do you bellevo that a corporation
should by law bo given the right to
sell and buy Its own stock ?n the
stock exchange?"
"That Is a now question. Mr. Car
negie answorcd, hesitatingly 'Tvq
never heard It raised before. I should
liko to think that over and write you
a note of my views."
Agalnot Stook Gambling.
"Do you bollevo It la a safe policy
in the Interests of shareholders who
do not gamble and do not bollovc In
It, for it to bo posBlblo that any cor-
poratlon might gamble in its Btocks?"
"I am against all stock gambling."
"If thero haB to be gambling, would
not It be better for men to gamble
at cards or on horses instead of on
broad and meat and industrial
stocks?" asked thp, chairman
"It would be bolter for you, Mr.
Chairman, not id gamblo on any
thing." Mr. Carnegie replied, pointing
his finger at tho chairman. " don't
like to draw any distinctions."
Representative McGIllicuddy con
fessed Mr Carnegie with a fire or
questions seeking to show that a plan
was formed to organize the United
States Steel corporation before Mr.
McKlnley was elqctod President in
1900 and that thei()deal waa consum
mated soon after', his election. Ho
brought out the fact that Carnegie
had told McKlnley to have nothing
to do with Imperialism or the acquisi
tion of the Philippines.
"Were there any negotiations be
tween you and J. P. Morgan prior to
1901 regarding the formation of the
steel corporation?" asked tho states
man from Maine.
"I never hoard of any till Mr.
Schwab camo to mo In 1901 with Mr.
Morgan's offer to buy my property, '
Mr, Carnegie answered.
"Wero thero not some negotiations
as early as 1900?"
"I never heard of any."
Opposed to Imperialism.
"In 1900, wore you not vory much
opposed to tho policy of imperialism ?"
"Yes. I was; and I asked Mr.
McKlnley not to have anything to
do with It. I was opposed to tho ac
quisition of the Philippines."
"Is It not also true that In early in
1900 you were opposed to William
McKlnley for President?"
'iSo," Mr Carnegie replied, giving
evidence of confusion. "I do not

know of anything that yould "have
made mo oppose Mr McKlnley."
"Is It not a fact that In January,
1900, you attended a meeting of antl
lmporlallsts at which you pledged
vourself to contribute $2.000 to pro
ent tho nomination and re-election
of William McKlnley If they would
raise a llko amount?" Mr. McGllllcud
dy asked
J. H. Reed, attorney for tho Steel
corporation, objected to this question.
Chairman Stanley overruled the ob
jection, Mr. Carnegie looked at his
counsel nervously and replied
"I can't tell vou about that. I do
not recollect that I over did nnythiug
to opposo thc nomination or re-olcc-tlon
ef Mr, McKlnley 1 was deeply
opposed to the Phllipplnos, but can
not beliovo I opposed McKlnloy for
presldont"
"Don't you remember that you ac
tually did contribute $15,000 of that
?25.000 to thlp fund?"
"I do not recollect, but It may be
so If you know the facts. I am sure
It was not agnlnat McKlnley that I
gave tho money, hut against' tho ac
quisition of the Philippines."
"Why, after contributing $15,000,
did you not contlnuo with tho othor
$10,000?" Mr Gllllcuddy asked.
'I do not recollect." "
"Didn't some of the Morgan people
come to you and tell you that It wa3
necessary to elect McKlnley In order
to form this United States Steel cor
poration?" "No such thing ever occurred?" Mr.
Carnoglo answered sharply.
"After McKlnloy was Inaugurated
in March, 1901, and Philander C
Knox, who had boon attorney for your
company, was made attorney genoral
In his cabinet, is it not true that
within 30 days your steel corporation
actually was formed?" Mr. Gllllcuddy
pershted.
"Why .do you say 'your sleol cor
poration?' " Mr. Carnogle retorted Im
patiently. "I had nothing to do with
the stool corporation. Never Invest
ed a cent In it I merely sold my
proiHjrty,"
Morgan purchased Property.
Mr. Carnegie again related thc
story of tho plan of his company to
extend its business and erect an en
ormous tube plant nt Conneaut Har
bor, which plan aroused Mr Morgan
and led to tho immediate negotia
tions for the purchase of his prop
erty and the formation of tho cor
poration. Ho described in dotal! how
Charles M Schwab had figured thit
tubes could bo made for $10 a ton
loss than any mill In the country could
make them. This led Mr Carneglo
to the observation that the steel cor
poration made a mistake In not car
rying out his plan
Chairman Stanley told Mr Carneg
lo of intimations that ho was about
to be enmeshed by Morgan, Gary,
Gates and a gigantic competitive
company Just before tho steel cor
poration proposal was mado and sug
gested that there wero reports cur
rent that ho was a sick man who
could be easily Induced
"Well, I sttjl was able to take sus
tenance," said Mr. Carnegie "But
they approached me at a good time
I had determined that I would not
spond my old age in making raoro dol
lars I had all tho money I wanted
and I demonstrated that somo tlmo
before -when the Moores sought an
option of tho works and I had left it
to my partnors to doclde "
Dealings With Moore Brothers.
Tho committee led Mr Carnoglo
Into a discussion of the time tho
Moore brothers, W. H. and J B.,
sought an option on his plant when
his partner, H. C Frlck, conducted
the negotiations and Mr Carnogle de
manded $2,000,000 for the option, be
causo tho names of thc prospective
purchasers wore not disclosed it
was brought out that his partnors.
Frick and Phipps, wore Interested In
the option, which eventually failed.
Mr Carnogle told the committee all
that he learned afterwards about tho
deal He said ho heard that Frlck
and Phipps -were Interested In It and,
if thev had succeeded In putting it
through, each was to get $5,000,000 in
stock of the now company
Ho testified that ho accepted tho
forfoit of $1,180,000 deposited to hl3
credit when tho negotiators failed to
raise the rest of tho $2,000,000 de
posit "If Mr Frlck and Mr Phipps en
tered Into a contract w-lth the Moore
brothers, by which each was to get
$5,000,000 in stock of thc now com
pany and never told me anything
about It." Bald Mr Carnegie, "you don't

them anything now of the forfeit mon
