The Christian Science Society, of I
Hay City, is making preparations for i
u free Christian Science lecture, to I
be delivered in this city on Thursday
evening. October 19
Invitations will soon be issued to
as many as a thousand people to
hear the lecture, which will be deliv-
ered by Paul Stark Seeley, of Port-
land. Oregon
Mr. Seeley Is a member of the board
ot lectureship tor the Mother Church.
New Vork. Sept. 21 Henry Ford,
according to the Wall Street journal,
is tlie richei t man In the world. His
wealth iirpa ses that of John D
Itocieleller.
Henry l ord has in the Ford Mo
....' Company Hie large, t income, and
Il capitalized, the large-1 fortune in
Hie world, the Journal says. "His
neonie ad d i a ng to his boundless
v.-aitb '..110,(111(1 a day through the
u > ea on, is probably unequaled Hi
i'I history.
I’r.dit i.elore taxes tor 192J will;
•■x< i ed $125,1)00.01)41. After tuxes they
will be $110.0011,0011. about $100 a car.
With these earnings the Ford Motor
Company could lie capitalized at $2,-1
lion.ooii,one, and pay 5 per cent on
that capital.
Ford condemns bankers, but with
$1X11,1(110.0(10 eash he hiluself Is the
largest individual banker in the
country, if not in the world. Michi-
gan sugar licet growers and automo-
bile manufacturers have little need
for such a stupendous sum and only
'a lew millions are bunked in Detroit
Wall Street, the finance center of the
country, absorbs the other millions
and Ford accumulated profits expand
ind multiply with Wall Street’s as-
sistance.
Ill his newspaper interviews Ford
says that Wall Street and the gold;
standard have outlived their useful-
terest. This is more than $6 for ev- ;
try car he produces.
"Even a republican congress!
unites to add to tile Ford wealth. The
company paid more than $.*(0,000,000 i
;n federal taxes in 1921. Because ot i
(he abolition of the excess profits
levy it will pay only $16,000,000 in
1922. The Fords are $34,000,000 rich-
er though if they were to draw the
riches out they would pay more than
50 per cent additional in personal in-
come taxes
So Ford continues to pile up in his
business the millions which find their
way into Wall street. His replace-
ment purls business is so profltabue
that lie could chop off his manufac-
turing profit of probably $90 a car
Hid make more than $15,000,000 an-
nually. or $14 on each car produced

"He could distribute this $14 as a
icnus t<> his workmen and still make
he $6 a car profit from interest.

■st, parts and ears, $58,000,000 in the
record ten months ending last Feb-
ruary. despite the heavy taxes. $110.-
>00,000 in all probability after taxes
in 1922.
"Henry Ford is a Wall Street in
himself, and the few blocks of Wood-
ward Avenue running apst his fac-
tories in Detrot form a companion
thoroughfare with the few blocks of
Wall Street from Trinity Church to
the East River.
"If he continues to pile up cash at
this rate lie cannot long denounce
Wall Street or the money power of
the country.
Henry Ford will be that
power."
