WHICH SHALL RULE?
James R. Garfield Puts Corporation Prob
lem in Nutshell to Hard
ware Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
Commissioner of Corporations James r.
Garfield, in an address at the banquet of
the Hardware associations here last
night, discussed the questions of graft in
the government and the commercial and
industrial evils.
Good Greater Than Evil.
you have heard that graft in the
government is rampant" he said. This
must not be taken lightly. 1t is true
that there are things in the federal gov
eminent that are wrong, but when you
compare them with things that are good
you will find them Incompatible. Things
are wrong in private business affairs as
well as in the public affairs. We should
not attempt to apply remedy before we
know what the disease is. The inquiry
conducted by this bureau into the work
ings of the corporations means that the
federal government is the sovereign of
all the people, and has a right to protect
one man against the alliance of others
Must Strike at the Root.
The speaker declared that the prob.
lens now are as mighty and important
as ever our forefathers had to contend
with. On every hand we are confronted
with commercial and Industrial evils.
ITO attempt to remedy them is useless,
unless the blow be at the general root"
he said. AT present it is impossible to
effect any permanent cure; only penalties
can be imposed where wrongs are discov-
cred
The Question in Nutshell.
IF you, my friends, are to have the
advantages of corporate formation, you
must submit your affairs to the sovereign
of creation. The government must be
vested with the power, to deal with cor
porations engaged in interstate com
merce, such as it has regarding the ma
tional banks, to keep itself informed as
TO what they are doing, how they are do
Ing it and what are their intentions. The
question is whether the corporations
shall rule the people or be ruled by the
sovereign by which they are created"
Fairbanks Is Non Committal.

dent Fairbanks, accompanied by Mrs

The medium sized fan, measuring
