The government, through the force Of
experts Of the Bureau OF Corporations.
has begun an inquiry into canal and wa
ter transp0rtations Of the United States.
This fact has been made public by Com
missioner Garfield in his annual report.
He announces that investigations Of the
tobacco. steel. sugar, and coal industries
are well advanced. lie further states that
other phases Of the oil industry than that
Of robauHg are being investigated
The commissioner declares that the
work Of the bureau during the past year
presents very strikingly the power OF in
efficient publicity for the correction Of
corporate abuses wholly apart from the
penal or remedial processes Of the court
He cites as an example. the fact that in
most of the cases Of railway discrimina-
tiOns in favor OF the Standard Oil Com
pany, the system was stopped as soon as
the officers Of the railroad became aware
that the discrimination had been discOv-
cred.
This action on the part of the railroad
officers" he says, was ali the more strik-
ing, inasmuch as it could hardly have
been taken with a view 70 escape from
criminal liability. because that criminal
liability, if existing at ali, had already
been incurred and could not be mitigated
or evaded by cancellation OF the disCrim-
inatory rate or regulation; and further.
the fact OF that voluntary action was d
convincing admission Of the unfairness of
the rate or regulation. IN short, the eX-
perience Of the bureau indicates that en-
forced publicity Of facts is a most eff
.cient means Of putting an end 20 such dis
elimination -

Trges Incorporation Law.

The commissioner, in advocating a Fed

vent the corporation from being the hid

about the Yale games has been the small

which Harvard will enter the great
battle.

ton OF Kersberg are In good physical
condition. Kersberg will take only light

result OF this game II is more than likely
that Orr will be hifted TO left end and

offense.
