ROOFS TRUE MEANING.

4
AS the smoke of the conflict over
Secretary Roots speech rolls away
1t Is seen that the portions of II
which caused the commotion were
more in the nature of a warning
than of aggression. His idea was.
not to obliterate State lines, but to
spur the States on to the enactment
of reasonable and beneficial legisla-
ton. He did not mean to assert the
National power to encroach upon the
rightful local power of the States,
but to urge the States to do what
they can for the common welfare.
Thus. the pressure fora the Ma
tional control of corporations arises
from the fact that the States do
nothing In the charters which they
grant to prevent overcapffalIzation
textortion, and other abuses. There
is no effective provisionssas a rule,
against imposition, graft, unfair
combinations. and undue intrusions
into the domains OF other States by
corporations enfranchised by any
State. 1t 10. true that 1t may be diff
cult for State to fully guard
against abuses and the expressions
imposed upon the people OF other
States by the corporations. which 1t
creates. But no attempt has thus
far been made by any State to pre-
vent such abuses, nor to7control in
reasonable manner the corpora
lions which 1t authorizes to do bust
ness all over the country. There is
no requirement of sworn reports in
detail there is no provision to pune
ish for perjury the making of false
reports; there is no prompt method
of dissoiving such corporations when
they betrayA the trust reposed in \
them. So there has grown up sem
'timent In the country at large in
favor of making the Nation the GUS
todian Of the power, in cases where
the operations of the franchise ex-
tend into two or more States. This
sentiment includes railroad COM
panles, ana legislation has recently
been enacted as to them in accord |
with the general popular sentiment.
It extends to banks of issue. andeI
these are. and for many years have
been, under National control. 1t ex-
tends to insurance companies, both
life and fire. but SO far no National
statute has required either of these
classes of corporations to take out
National charters. and there are.
grave doubts whether 1t Is in the
power of Congress to extend juris-s
dtction over them, though the life
insurance abuses and lootings show
how ineffective the State supervis-
ION has proved. 1t is true that New
York has recently passed strict laws
governing the life insurance BUSH
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1907-01-05
ness. bur the companies doing this

ness nut the, companies doing this
business can at any time get out
from the Jurisdiction of these laws
when they find them in the way OF
| plots and schemes, by moving their
headquarters to some other State.
And though fire insurance compan-
les have escaped the fierce scorch-
Ing that life insurance compan MES
! have been subjected to, their OPP
presstve increases in insurance rates
and the failure of 30 many compan-
! les to meet their San Francisco obli-
cations have created a feeling for
their regulation also under National
auspices.
The matter of pure food Is one
which one would suppose could be
effectively dealt with by the States.
To be sure. the States could not in
terfere with the bringing in. and the
sale Of goods In the original pack
ages; but the moment those pack
ages are opened and their contents
are offered for sale. they are subject
to State inspection In the interest
of the public health, and to condem-
nation II they are found deieterious
thereto or offensive to the senses.
But the States failed to act, and in
the interest of the public welfare
the Congress took up the matter,
and after many years effort and dis
eussion, passed the Pure Food
Bill" But Il the States had exer-
cised their undoubted prerogatives
in this matter. and had enacted and
vigorously enforced appropriate and
competent Legislation. there would
have been neither need nor propriety
in Congressional action.
/. It. is this phase OF the big aues-
ton that Secretary Root. sought to !
bring forcibly to the attention of
the American people. He meant to
say. and did say, that in such cases,
when the States allow their powers
to lie in abeyance; when they ere
ate corporations without easily con-
tfolled supervision and ready check
to ravage the Communities of other
States, there Will be an inevitable
demand for action by the National
Government. ana some way will, be
found to exercise National jurisdic-
ton. This 'evident fact Is Clearly IL
Illustrated infhe example given above,
in the passage OF the pure food bill,
and 1t will be seen in other direc-
tions. as in the railroad rate act.
For when the popular demand is
strong enough, and persistent
enough. Congress- will be sure to
ind some way to act. that win stand
the test of the courts.--salt lake

Trade Formulas May BE Secret.
The new law does not require
the manufacturer of foods and food
compounds to disclose trade formu-
! as i'm case the foods do not contain
added unwholesome ingredients. 1t
! does require. however, that all adul-
terated foods shall be so labeled and
makes the misbranding of any ar

call it corn syrup with sorghum

Potted ham and tongue must now
be branded correctly ana new labels
call them potted meats with ham
and tongue flavors. Rochelle salts
lime. alum and ammonia will no

ing powders. All the brands of new
baking powder bear labels stating
that they do not contain any o
these articles. The cheap bucket jel'
lies will no longer be labeled as hav-
ing the favors of these fruits.
The new granulated sugars which
grocers say conform to the require
ments are as white as ever. although
indigo is used i'm the bleaching pro
cess. The manufacturers maintall
that the indigo is eliminated by the
