:E5s.t do you think will remedy the
me ilrst place l think a joint high
nlssion should be raised by the gen
porernment in connection with the
and the labor element operating
"A ods Inc first thing for this COM
'nn n inquire into will be the cost of
( y W rsllroad property in the country.
"A csp be arrived at by an estimate OF
|DsInq engineers. Upon this estimate
= reasonable, liberal allowance for

4 ,itute the cost total, and upon the
z ! the public shall be taxed upon
t,,ents an amount as will be sufficient
IN expenses and a reasonable per
a on the investment"
HOW do you proposeIto prevent the is
lrce OF what is known as watered
bon
h making the states one party Of the
Il and allow them to look into the
Il and have representative present
directors meetings, which they
II right to in all corporations sub
IN nv the public. In other words,
lbublic in general way should go
n partnership with capital, for the
I'M that the secrecy of the doings of
corporations begets mistrust when
= labor element see and know that 1t Is
&tural for gigantic fortunes to spring
IA II by magic in one day. This abb
Ihal condition of affairs begets mis-
and hence the antagonistic relation
moor and capital Capital is supposed
represent surplus labor, and when
Imam, or set of men, own more money
al that produced by the surplus brain
nfmusole, it is clear that somebody has
ia robbed, and labor being the opposite
3pltsl it is not strange that strikes re.
t|ang in riots and rapine should be OF
c|{ient occurrence"
Do you think the financial condition

do. think what the country needs
C4 pre- money, and in this connection II
NJ BIT be well enough to say money is the
p;1esentatlYe of surplus labor and is
>|la0le only in proportion to the number
Il es in which it can be employed, ent
IVA e It is in a silver-producing country
br Is a good currency for all purpose:

iMnk we transcend our authority AM
