Publication and Corporatation

Senator Daniel of Virginia is general
ly accorded the score of palpable hit
in his declaration that while he can en-
dorse 80 per cent of Mr.. Bryans speech
in New York he cannot swallow "the
politication of the railroads.
The Publication of the railroads man
ifestly means the conduct of railroad
operations by the degree of efficiency
that politics accords to public offices.
This would be bad enough, but it may
be disputed whether it would be worse
than the coordinate effect of the cor
poratation of politics.
The politication Of the railroads
would deteriorate the efficiency of their
management The corporation OF poll
tics would wipe out the limitations OF
integrity that exist in that ield, 1t is
worth remembering that our public
ethics have advanced far enough SO that
men holding public Office no longer
swell their riches by direct peculation
from public treasures. The political
light who lays up millions out of a
salary of few thousands has to do Sc
from the Archimedean pou sto OF
corporate affiliations. Therefore, the
enlargement of Senator Daniels word
coinage charges the corporatation OF
politics with the meaning that the hold
ers of political Office would be subject
ed to the temptation of the immense
gains within their reach by their repeti-
ton Of the methods by which corporate
management accrues millions for its
personal pocket.
The Nation does not need either the
politication of the railroads or the cor
poration of politics. 1t wants the
square deal and democratic equality
and honesty all around.-Dispatch.

States Big Income

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
is having an extraordinary year, finan'
cially. Thus far the revenues amount tf
more than $22, 900, 900, and there are yet
three months of the fiscal year. 1t il
estimated at the auditor generals Office
that the total of this year will exceed
sos, 900, 900. This will break all records
Two causes are assigned for the extra
ordinary increase in the income of the
state. One is the increased capital OF
merger Of corporations chartered, and
the great increases in capital stock and
Indebtedness to carry the big volume OF
business in the state. The other is the
vigilance of the auditor general in COM
pelling settlements from delinquent
corporations. The new law prohibiting
the issuing of certificates for increased
capital or mergers TO corporations that
have not settled all back claims of state
tax has also helped to swell the income
of the commonwealth.
