GRAB" PUT IN NEW FORM
fiIcor Introduces Substitute for
GoodseU Bill.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

Alhanv Anrll 2-In new and still more
pernicious form the Goodsell grab bill was
reincarnated to-day in a measure introduced
by Senator Wilcox at the end OF the days ses-
sion The measure embodies all the bad
features OF the Goodsen bill. artfully changing
the wording but not the intent. In addition to
this il includes the undesirable Grady bill,
which affects the filing of certificates Of rail
way Incorporation, a measure opposed by New
York City through its Corporation CounseIs
office
This sudden change of face is understood here
TO mean that the friends of the Goodsen grab
bill have become alarmed at the publicity The
Tribune and other newspapers have given to its
bad features and have despaired of passing it
against the public outcry. They have accord
ingly sought to blind the public by substituting
another bill. practically identical but to be
considered as the Wilcox bill Senator Wilcox
Is chairman of the Railroad Committee of the
Senate.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Whitman, who
examined the measure which has not yet been
printed, made the following comment upon it
tonight:
This new measure-Senator Wilcox's-is prac-
1lcaIly loentical with the GoodseH grab bill
II eInbooies all the very worst features Of that
measure and adds the undesira bic provisions
OF the Grady bill. We stand exactly the same
in our opposition TO this measure as to the
original Goodsell bill
Yet another significant illustration Of the
manner in which street railroad legislation is
being treated was furnished yesterday in the
Senate Committee Railroads. when favorable
action was taken on the Foley bill, already de-
scr1bed in The Tribune practically removing
the possibility OF enforcing the transfers law.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Whitman yes

the railroad corporation. He was informed by
Senator Wilcox that this would be possible

United States Treasury Surplus.
1t is well to go slow in believing what
you read in Republican newspapers
about political matters The audacity
and mendacity of the statements made
by them are beyond belief and yet
many good, honest souls are fooled by
their utteranceS.
One of the late announcements is
that 'the vaults of the United States
Treasury are crammed with hundreds
Of millions of dollars" This extrava-
CANT statement was made to deceive
those who read it into believing that
Uncle Sam has an overf1owing treas
ury, and that enormous appropriations
are therefore excusable. Now the facts
are that the surplus in the United
States Treasury on March 10 was only
$221 ,903, ,361; of this there Is deposited

inadequacy of Fines.

Great stress is laid in Congress on
the fact of the inadequacy of some OF
the fines stipulated in the antitrust
provisions. 1t was cOntended in the
House that the HOar bill was too weak
kneed against violators of its provis-
ions and the Elkins anti-rebate bill
was regarded by the advocates as far
too moderate in the matter of fines
The whole history of English attempt
TO suppress monopoly by terrible fines
shows how futile it is where the spoils
are sufficient to risk violating law.
Wrong systems never We're abolished
by fines. The true remedy is to abOl-
ish the laws which make the system
possible. Until we repeal some of Ilie
laws under which the trusts We're i'll
