SHALL TRUSTS OR
THE PEOPLE RULE?
Garfield Says Government Must
Find Remedy First, i
q Cure Later. -

Washington, Nov. 11.-Commissioner
Of fCorporations James R. Garfield, in
an address at the banquet of the Hard
ware associations here last night, dis-
cussed the questions of graft in the
government and the commercial and
Industrial evils.
"You have heard that graft in the
government is rampant, he SAID.
'sThis must not be taken lightly. 1t
is true that there are things in the fed
eral government that are wrong, but
when you compare them with things
that are good you will find them m
comparable. Things are wrong IN pri-
vate business affairs as well as IN the
public affairs.
"We should not attempt to apply a
remedy before we know what the dis
ease it. The inquiry conducted by this
bureau into the workings of the cor
porations means that the federal gov
ernment is the sovereign Of all the
man against the alliance OF others.
"The problems now are as mighty
and important as sever our forefathers
had to contend with. On every hand
we are confronted with commercial
and industrial evils. To attempt to
remedy them is useless unless the blow
be aimed at their root. At present 1t
is impossible to effect any permanent
cure. Only penalties can be imposed
where wrongs are discovered.
eff YOU, my friends, are to have the
advantages Of corporate formation, you
must submit, your affairs to the sover-
eign of creation. Let the, people know
WHO you are and with whom they are
dealing. The government must be vest
ed with the power to deal with incor-
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce, such as it has regarding the ma
tionaI banks, to keep itself informed as
to what they are doing, how they are
doing it and what their intentions are.
"The question is whether the cor
porations shall rule the people or be
ruled by the sovereign by which they
are created.'
Mr.. Garfield declared that in its ef-
forts to expose Irregularities of incor-
porations the heartiest cooperation of
the manufacturers is needed.

ROOT MAY TAKE OYER
THE INSULAR BUREAU

Washington, Nov. 11.-An echo of
the suggestion that the Isthmian canal
should be placed under the state de-
partment has been heard in a rumor of
the possibility that the insular bureau,
which grew up under the direction of
Secretary Root when he was at the
head of the war department, may be
transferred to the state department.
Discussion of the matter has not taken
any concrete form, but it is one of the
suggestions made to relieve the secre-
now resting on him in administering
not only the affairs of the army, but
the Panama canal, the Philippines and
other island interests. 1t is argued
that Secretary Root past familiarity
with the Philippines will enable him to
take up the work where it has been
carried by Secretary Taft.
