Gariield's Report,

The annual report of Jas. Rudolph
Garfield. commissioner corporations
and member of the presidents
Kitchen cabinet" has aroused more
Interest than is generally stirred up
by a departmental document. 1t is a
clear, concise statement. and Its es-
pecial interest lies In the fact that IL
contains the same tone of caution
that marked the presidents message.
The plan of licensing big corpora
lions, as advocated by Mr.. Garfield,
also has as its advocate President
Roosevelt. and both urge It on the
same grounds. namely that some
system must be devised to bring to
a close the storm of unthinking and
unfair criticism levelled at all corpo-
rations because of the Illegal acts
of few. In summing up his report
on the licensing plan, Mr.. Garfield
says:
"Such a law will afford means
for gaining accurate information, so
that the people Of our country may
form an intelligent opinion of indus
trial conditions, and not be driven
to extreme and unwise action by the
clsmor of those who assail all great
corporate interests because some
have done H."
The enactment of such corpora
tion law in the opinion of the admin
istration, would also have a tenden-
cy to put to an end the passage Of
much state legislation that directly
endangers the commercial prosperity
of the country.

that some way may yet be discovered
TO insure progress. As the situation
