THE DAY OF SPECIALISTS.

Doctor" said Mrs. Easleigh, as the
family physician entered, Il am awful

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The bill establishing a railroad
commission in this state has passed
the assembly and it now advanced to
the senate. If the vote in the lower
house is any sign the republican ma
jority in the upper house will not
allow it to get through.
The bill is decidedly radical in its
provisions. 1t practically places the
running of the railroads in this state
in the hands of the commission. This
is an enormous responsibility.
The strongest argument against
the commission is that men VINO have
had no railroad experience whatever
are to be placed in practically abso-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1907-03-28

lutte control over those who have de.
voted their lives to the business, and
this, too, without assuming any OF
the financial responsibility.
While the commission has many
arguments in its favor, we do not
believe it should be an elective body.
WELDING the influence that it would,
it should be kept just as free from
politics as the judiciary. Whether
the commission is established or not,
it should be an appointive body.
Then the governor, who would do the
appointing, could be held directly re-
sponsible.

PLEASING THE O

The street department has again
showed it's willingness to accommo-
date the people by bringing out the
sprinkled at the first appearance of
dust. This is the time of year when
we have all varieties of weather. The
March winds soon dry up the streets
and blow the dust in great clouds,
much to the annoyance of the pedes-
TRANS and hindrance to business.
Without delay the street department
is at work equal to the task and the
people rejoice. :.
Little fault can be found with the
management of the street department
during the last few years. OF course
there have been complaints, many of
them; some of them j%ustifiable and
more that were not, but taking into
consideration the amount of money
allowed for the streets. the i%ncreas-
ing number of pavements and the
miles of streets to be cared for, the
department is being handled in a
satisfactory manner. Let the good
work go on.

THURSDAY, MARCH 20.
X ROOSEVELT.

There is no doubt but that there is
considerable agitation against the
railroads in all parts of the country.
The ~financiers are trying to blame
this upon President Roosevelt. They
claim he started the rumpus by the
activities of the interstate commerce
commission. According to some, we
are now going TO have a big panic
and the country is going to the dogs,
nil because we have at last got a
President who is not afraid to enforce
the law.
All lawbreakers are enemies of
Roosevelt, This includes many who
are supposed to be the first citizens
of the country. These men like to
blame everything they can on Roose-
welt. The people know better, how
ever.
Laws, if they mean anything, NEAR
what they say. Oficials, If they are
in Office for anything, are there to
enforce the law. This is what Presi-
dent Roosevelt is doing nothing
else. He has stated time and time
agaja that those who are doing what
IS right need have no fear. He does
not intend to modest them. The trou-
BILE is, under the free and easy sys-
ten that has heretofore prevailed
nearly all the railroads got to doing
wrong.
If merely enforcing the law is go
ing TO throw the country into a panic,
the sooner we have the panic the bet
ter. Law is the foundation Of gov
eminent and if it is ignored in order
to uphold business interests, some
thing worse than a financial panic is
bound to be the final outcome,
Enforce the law; let come what
will. AS long as it comes as a re-
suit of such enforcement and not
neglect, the country can stand the re-
suit.

Railroads are the greatest factor in the upbuldmg OF the nation.
They are an INTEGRAL PART of our daily life, the foundation
of our commercial prosperity. They are held to be no longer private
corporations, but a part of the public service. This is the theory on
which the interstate commerce law rests and is made the basis of fed
oral and state regulation. There exists a UNIVERSAL AND
PRONOUNCED FEELING OF HOSTILITY toward these cor
porations and their arrangements, which is finding expression in many
states in radical and severely restrictive legislation.
80
AT the same time there is manifest everywhere a spirit of unrest
and distrust regarding general conditions and the con-
tinuation of our great prosperity. Publication is made from time to
time Of indications and of expressions by prominent men. There is
complaint among fnanciers that they cannot sell bonds Several rail
way companies have been compelled to issue short time notes AT
HIGH RATES OF INTEREST, instead of long term bonds, to
raise money to carry on their Improvements.
/ am not a financial expert, and I do not pretend to analyze these
monetary conditions. l have belief in the GENUINE PROSPER
ITY of the country, but I also believe that we are living in a time of
as great initiation as during the greenback days following the close of
the civil war. I may be extreme in my comparison, but the prices of
both labor and commodities cannot go on forever increasing WITH
OUT A DAY OF REIMBURSEMENT And the campaign of
fomenting dstrust of every kind will not tend to make easy this set
Element of disturbed conditions.
TENDENCY is TO GO TO AN EXTREME WHICH WILL NOT
SERVE MERELY TO REMEDY CONDITIONS AND PRACTICES THAT
NEED ATTENTION, BUT EXTENDING FAR BEYOND WILL so CHECK
AND IMPEDE THE OPERATION OF RAILROADS AS TO AFFECT
GENERAL BUSINESS INTERESTS.

hundred. The same is true of the sugar trust, which began with only
a few stockholders and now lcs six hundred. The tendency of the
trusts has been to increase the number of owners. The Pennsylvania
Railroad company has $4,000 employees, and it also has $4,000
owners. This certainly means the DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.
When Jesus lived men who had more money than they needed for
food put it into costly raiment or palaces, or they dug holes in the
ground in those days and hid their wealth away. THEY HAD NO
MEANS OF INVESTMENT, but now we put omr money in saw
ings banks, and the banks put the money into bonds and stocks of rail
roads and other enterprises, so that all of the capital of the people is
working for them.
We want more trusts and corporations and means of investment,
BUT WE WANT THEM CARRIED ON HONESTLY Two
great organizations, trades unions and corporations. are carving us

.NEWHOUSE DECLARES
SITUATION NOT ALARMING
Big Financier Says Shortage OF
Money Caused Slump Will
Recover.
Especial to The News.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 2.-Samuel
Newhouse, one of the best western
authorities on copper, has just re-
turned from Europe, and in an inter-
view in the Herald, has the follow
ing to say on the copper situation:
''Of course, copper is. down, but
don't blame the copper market for
it. Put the blame where it belongs
on the money market. There is
nothing radically wrong with the
copper. and | don think it will go
any lower. 1t will probably go
decided statements on the question
in this off-hand way. Spectators
are not the only people who are short
of money. The shortage is hitting
the big industrial men of the east
harder than anyone else. They can't
get money for necessary improve
ments. and this is having a decided
effect on the situation Bankers are
retrenching The stock market,
--owever, is going to recover, I be-
lieve.
Foreign investors, particularly
English capitalists, are badly scared
over the shrinkage in stocks, but it
doesn't take much to scare them,
and I believe that if the market
would take brace, in ten days time
those fellows over there would rush
to get in again.
Il found a decided impression all
over the east that general recon-
struction period is about due in this
country along every line as to values.
Everything is too high. Prices must
come down, and it means a general
reconstruction in values. Conserva-
tive financiers in the east are pre-
pairing to meet this situation, and all
of them are accepting it.
People don't want to be deceived
by appearances.
Wall street looks panicky, but 1t
isn't The big men of the street are
playing a big game, and the street
looks shaky, because they want it
to look that way Their game will
all come out in the end. The mar
ket will recover and healthy condi-
lions will prevail, | think. They do
prevail now all over the country
There is too much general prosperity
in this country at present to allow
room for alarm over local situa-
lions"
