IN N WE TRUST.
An Up-To.nate Suggestion BY n
Special Contributor.

EDITOR ARGUS
The remarkable development OF
new trusts dnring the last six
months despite the outcries raised
against them; despite hostile lsgis-
lating; despite committees Of IN
vcotIgntion and tho ruling If courts.
'e 'ds ms TO make a suggestion MS
follows
The country is now divided into
forly-dve States, each sovereign
within certain limits. now for the
most part, mere i'm ginary lines,
arbitrarily drawn. There is moth.
ing IN nature to correspond TO
them. They are mere barbarious
relies Of the DAYS when geographic
cal location meant something Of
tho days whom locomotives. tele
graphs and long distance telephones
were not dreamed Of.
70 got "a real, up to date nation,
we should ~reorganize, not accord
ing 10 imnginury lines, but accord.
ing TO well defined distinctions be-
tween industrial realms. Let us
give up the old nation Of an iadis-
soluble union of indestractible
States and have instead a union of
industrial realms.
One realm we would call the
"Rallroad Realm" another the
petroleum Realm;" another the
"Electric Realm" another the
"Sugar Realm :" another the
Cereal Realm" and so on till all
the real branches of industry were
included. Since these realms are
already organized into trusts, there
would be under a reorganiz ,tIen
no miserable necessity upon us of
holding elections to decide who
should reign over each realm. The
executive committee of each trust
would Of course attend to that and
would furnish rulers without all the
turmoil Of campaigns. Everything
would work smoothly. The dirty
pool of politics would be removed
from public views-and the people
would no longer need to worry
their brains over tariff bills and
financial systems. The monarchs of
each Industrial realm would come
together and settle all questions of
national policy.
As it is now we have to support
a dual form of government, that
by States and that by trusts and of
course there is more or less lack of
harmony. 1t is very costly, toe. to
support both forms of government
and to pay taxes imposed by the
Legislatures. The people have
been vexed by this double govern
ment aud have been trying to sus-
pend one form, that of the trust.
but without success. If we must
submit to trust rule, we prefer to
have it in direct form, without
keeping up the pretcnse Of popular
government.
If Il suggestions meet with
general favor from the LimekiIn
Klub, we will proceed at once to
draft a now FEDERAL Constitution
along up-to-date lines, changing
the name Of the nation to the
~ nited Realms Of Industrial
Trusts" and doing away with all
such suPerfluous and costly ma
chiAery ss Congress and the Leg
i%slatures. Up TO DATE.
