These recommendations are based
on the central thought that the first
step should be taken by law aimed
at what are certainly known to be
unreasonable practices directly re-
strictive of freedom of commerce,
and by a law securing some gov
ernment supervision, as outlined
above.
A special act should be passed at
once to speed the final decision of
cases pending or to be raised under
the present antitrust law, providing
for the hearing of such cases by a
full bench of circuit judges, and for
direct appeal from the circuit
courts to the Supreme Court of the
United States.

of the Columbia State, a newspaper
which, since it's inception, has bit
terly opposed the Tillman faction in
South Carolina politics. The two
men have been sworn enemies for
some years and Tillman's animosity
was accentuated by Gonzales pro-
nounced editorial opposition to him
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor during last

The condition of the wounded man

STATE NEWS
Superintendent JOyner's Report.

erintendent of Public instruction
J. Y. Joyner. The report is an ex-
cellent document, and goes straight
to the heart Of the question.
In discussing the present condi-
tion of public education in North
Carolina, Mr.. Joyner uses a compar-
ison between the expenditures for
public schools in this State and the
average expenditures for the same
purpose throughout the United
States as shown III the record of the
United States Bureau of Education.
North Carolina expends for each
child enrolled in the State public
schools $3.17 per year. The average
amount spent throughout the United
States per enrolment is 5000. The
average length of the State school
term per year is 82.4 days for white
schools, and 1915 days for colored
schools. Throughout the United
States the average length of the
school term is 145 days per year.
The average monthly salary of our
white teachers is $26.78. The color
ed teachers get a monthly salary of
$22.19. While the average salary
paid teachers throughout the United
States is $48.
In presenting these statistics Mr..
Joyner has pointed out an important
source of weakness in our present
educational system.
We must spend more money per
capita for the education Of our chill
dren. We spend SLIP per annum
less for each enrolled child than is
spent on the average throughout the
United States. h..-
We are aware that the mere spend
ing of money will not insure us of
attaining the desired end. But we
are further aware of the fact that
our State will not take it's proper
place in enlightenment and prosper
1ty until a greater expenditure is
made. In some school systems, out
side the State, money is wanted, un-
doubtedly. But we need not fear
that such will be the result of a
greater expenditure in North Caro-
lima.
The average length of the school
term must be increased, and the
average salary of the teacher in our
school must not fall $21.22 behind
the general average.
Mr.. Joyner makes pertinent sug-
gestions as to the Improvement of
school houses in equipment, and
their enlargement in number.
But our schools must attain the
through the improve
ment of the teaching force, and the
strengthening of the supervising
force. To this end Mr.. Joyner does
we'll in recommending that an active
part be taken in summer schools,
and short college courses especially
adapted to the needs of the teacher.
The average teacher, honest and
faithful workers as they are, will not
derive much bennht from 1;c+o,o;

! of these oHenses who are, as pro
ducers merely, beyond national con
troll, a penalty should be imposed
upon the interstate and foreign
transportation of goods produced by
them, and Federal courts should be
given power to restrain such trans
portation at the governments suit
PRESENT LAWS INEFFECTIVE
Such legislation is necessary be.
cause the existing interstate com
merce law does not give an effective
remedy in this class of cases against
either shipper or carrier.
The casus omisyus in the inter
state commerce az, should now be
supplied by imposing a penalty upon
carrier and beneficiary alike, and
by giving to the courts the right to
restrain all such infractions of the
law.
The prohibition against carriers
should be limited to those subject
to the act to regulate commerce.
Only carriers operating a line of
railroad or a rail and water line as
one line are required to publish their
rates and adhere to them. It is i'm
practicable to control lines operating
wholly by water. Rates of water
transportation are necessarily open
to the freest competition, are inva-
riably low by comparison, and thus
naturally furnish the standard of
reasonablenes3 without express regu-
lation.
Tt should DC made unlawful to
transport traffic by carriers subject
to the interstate commerce act at
a less rate than published rate, and
Il who parti ,1pate in violating the
Jaw should be punished
Provision should also be made to
reach corporations and combinations
which produce wholly within a State,
but whose products enter interstate
commerce. This provision should
relate, first, to concerns which fatten
on rebates; second, to concerns which
sell commodities below the general
price in particular localities, or in
any other way in particular IocaIi-
ties seek to destroy competition.
SHOULD HAVE THE FACTS
There should be a comprehensive
plan to enable the government to get
at all the facts bearing upon the. or
ganization and practices of concerns
engaged in interstate commerce, not
with a view to hampering any Iegit-
innate business of such concerns, but
in order to Se in position to take
action if necessary.
To this end a commission, or a
special bureau, in the proposed de-
Dartment of commerce should be Gre
ated whose duty il should be to in
Vestigate the operations of concerns
engaged in interstate or foreign
to gather information and
lata enabling it to make recommen-
1ations for additional legislation to
report to the President. This would

GENERAL NEWS
THE ADMINISTRATIONS PLAN OF
ANTITRUST WARFAR

tions and Needs.
We believe that the widespread
public interest in antitrust legisla-
ton will justify us in giving a large
part of our General News space this
week to the abstract of Attorney
General Knox's recommendations on
this subject-the ali being
given out and virtu; endorsed by
President Roosevelt. The state
ment follows:
PRELIMINARY
The people do not desire the bust
ness of the country to be interfered
with beyond the regulation neces-
sary to control combinations where
they act improperly and to correct
any tendency toward monopoly. In
this country, where money is cheap
and abundant and within the reach
of keen and capable men, monopoly
will be impossible if competition is
kept free.
Small enterprises have certain ad-
vantages over large combinations,
and will live and thrive if assured of
an open and fair field Rebates and
discriminatory rates constitute one
of the chief restrictions on competi-
tiOn. They unjustly swell the earn
ings of favored concerns and, sup
porting a vast volume of capital
stock which represents nothing but
unfair advantage over rivals, con-
tribute largely to the upbuilding of
monopoly.
The situation respecting transpor-
tatiOn determinations and the entry
of Independent capital into new in
dustries has largely been improved. !
1t is now known that the amount
of capital embarked in independent
enterprises in the past two years at
least equals the total capital of the
great combinations formed within |
the previous twelve years.
ASSURED OF COMPETITION
Individual industrial experience
with the certainty of secure employ
ment of capital may be trusted to
compete effectively with such selfish
combinations as are not formed for
sound economic reasons, but merely
in order to capitalize the country's
prosperity for the benefit of their
promoters. The existence of most
of these combinations has not in
creased the productive capacity of
the country; they have merely ac-
quired the ownership of pre-existing
industries.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMMEDIlTE
LEGIS GATION
That all discriminatory practices
affecting interstate trade be made
