Socialism in the Trusts.

From the New York Journal of Com
merce.
The formation of large aggregates of as
ISOLATED capital out of individual contri-
buttons, each bearing only its proportion
ate share of the common liability, has
supplied the foundation for the great edi-
flee of modern Industrial enterprise. To
go step farther and unite a number of
corporations engaged in the same line Of
business seems natural evolution of the
same process of combination. When 1t
follows the line of the memorable laws OF
trade. and does not run counter to the
obvious demands of public interest. the
process may be accepted as a CONNER
cially sound one. But when the only rea-
son for its existence Is an attempt to defy
these laws. and to rob the public of the
advantage which 1t derives from the
haggling of the market it becomes
phase of enterprise at once dangerous
and delusive. The argument most fire.
quently used to justify this form of COM
bination is that 1t tends to cheaper the
cost both of production and distribution,
as well as, incidentally, to restrict excess
sive output and to regulate prices The
argument Is, in many cases, a good one,
and in so far as combination in industrial
effort is confined to securing economies
in manufacture and handling, it rests on
a perfectly solid basis. But people are apt
to forget that with every advance in the
combination of industrial units of pro-
duction there comes a weakening of the
effectiveness of individual initiative. Just
in proportion as that initiative Is of value
in any department of business will the
limits set to combination become mar
rowed and the penalty of disregarding
them become more certain.

1t Keeps on Growing.

YEAR after year the promise is that
" the pension roll has reached it's
! highest point and that, hereaf-
ter. there will be a marked decrease in
the amount of money congress must
appropriate on account of pension pay
ments. That promise was given when
the pensions appropriation reached the
unexpected total of $SO,OOO,OOO That
was one hundred per cent. greater than
the total which soldiers, like Garfield,
Sherman and Slocum had said. would be
the highest limit a just pension appro-.
priation couids ever reach, =
The thing has gone on apace. The
farther we get from the civil war and
the smaller the number of surviving
veterans, the greater the annual appro-
priation for pensions. Sometimes the
roll is the subject of earnest dicussion
in congress, but discussion ends in
smoke, or rather, in a larger appropria-
tion than ever. 1t has come to pass
that the bill for pensions is the largest
in all the annual appropriations of the
government. This year the total just
voted is 1929, 800.
The bill passed the house with a few
minutes of discussion; the report of it
takes up less than a page of the Con-
gressional Record. The march through
the senate was little slower, but not
very much. That happened because one
or two senators thought that the time is
ripe for Kidding the pension roll of some
of it's worst features. Senator Sewell,
for instance, a republican who served
CALAMITY in the civil war, suffered
wounds at Charlottesville and Gettys-
burg and was breveted major general,
reminded the senate that pensions ought
not to be paid to widows who hereafter
marry pensioners or to their minor chill
dren. An amendment to that effect had
already been passed by the senate, but
the house refused to concur. It was
shown In the senate that while there
are only three soldiers Of the war of
| 1872 now living, pensions are still paid
| to 2,407 persons as widows of soldiers
| of that war. 1t was also shown that,
under the present system, the govern
ment will be paying pensions to wild
ows'' of the civil war as late as 1880.
1t made no difference. The big pen
sion appropriation went through with a
whirl, in the grand total above men,

In New England.

L rom lne IoTtlanu OregOnlaI.
Another change in New England is the
requirement of great estates by rich New
Workers, who buy great tracts of land
upon which they erect summer residences.
Some of these great estates include game
preserves, and their proprietors during
their summer life maintain kind of feu-
dal eXclusiveness toward their country
neighbors. The beauty spots on the shores
of Lake Champlain have been bought up
by these millonaires who maintain
keepers to exclude everybody from their
premises and are as strict and severe in
their prohibition of any sort of trespass
upon their woods or rocky shores as. the
grimmest kind of an English squire or
nobleman. Keep off the grass" was a
legend utterly unknown in rural New
England so years ago, but now 1t Is SO
common that if Nebuchadnezzar lived in
our day he would not be able to find a
field free to feed in from the Canada line
to Long Island sound.
