Sorrowful Indianapolis has had

which inaugurated it's
Death on the great motor speed
Speedway. way. Seven killed,
and number in
jured, is the heavy sacrifice made to
the craze of the automaniacs for
driving their machines at terrific
pressure. What pity it is that the
tyrants of ancient Rome did not
know the savage delight of mang1ing
by this method; they could have
added so much ecstacy to their rou-
tine sports. Merely by ordering one
of these races on the programme
they could have insured the neces-
sary brutalities for the occasion, with
the delicious uncertainty as to the
victims, and whether they would
have their brains dashed out, or be
ground to pulp under the wreckage,
or even be burned alive by flaming
gasoline. The tedium of planning
monotonous tragedies, and the weari-
ness of seeing the same old kind of
holocaust all the time would have
been spared the estimable emperors
could they have sent their gladiators
blithely "bubbling" forth to win a
cup.

some distrust and misgiving as to the
entire national banking evil, and the
proposition to make it worse will not
be met with acclaim.
There is only one reassuring fact
in connection with the famous "Mon-
etary Commission" and that is, it is
so hopelessly besmirched by Aldrichs
presence that any plan it makes may
meet defeat. If Aldrich were in
spired by the purest motives now,
his record is such that no other i'm
portant work is apt to succeed in his
hands. He should be content with
having served the corporations we'll
in the tariff mess, and retire upon
his laurels-and other more substan-
tial things so faithful a mental should
receive from his bosses. And as for
seriously crediting Aldrich with
pure motive-it would argue lack of
common intelligence on the part of
the creditor.

The soldiers are telling this story OF General
Funston. In fact, they got it from the general
himself. He was in the smoking car of a Pullman
and fell into conversation with man from Kansas.
After they had talked while the Kansan said:
Say you look good deal like Fred Funston.
He's general in the army now
DO you know Funstonsv asked the general.
Il should say do He's from our state"

A MERELY TECHNICAL PLEA


this letter is that Pinchot paper has publishedit
A MERELY TECHNICAL PLEA
like to see man come back smiling after he
has taken beating | am quite ready to concede
Mr.. Shorts sincerity Of position. He would be
poor lawyer who could not at least convince him
SELF and without that faculty he certainly could
not hope to persuade others. But Mr.. Shorts
attack is merely lawyerlke, that is to say wholly
technical He objects to the exaction of this
charge by the federal government, but [ don't
think it is unjust to say that he would be equally
opposed to its collection by the state Of California.
In fine what he wants and his clients want is the
right to acquire in perpetuity the fee simple OF
these water rights.
This is the real line of cleavage between him and
his school on the one hand and what may be called
If you like, the Roosevelt school on the other hand
which holds that the unearned increment of value
in public utilities should never pass from the
people Whether the people in this case are repre-
sented by the federal government or by the state
is a mere detail, to be adjusted one way or the
other, as may be argued on.
THE UNEARNED INCREMENT
Sometimes it is the municipality and sometimes
the state, or again the federal government that
holds title to this increment of value, but all OF
them are merely other names for the people.
This may appear to be comparatively new doc
trlne but it is already well settled policy. 1t is
recognized COnCluS1VeIy IN the settlement OF the
traction question in Chicago where the operating
companies paying the city 55 per. cent OF
the net receipts for transportation. That IS per
cent represents the increment of value in the street
car lines, due not to the work or investment of the
companies, but to the growth of population.
NOW IN SAFE HANDS
In twenty-five years from now the water powers
OF the Sierra will have acquired enormous value
due to the demands of an increasing population
and that increment should belong to the people
You will say that the state has already permitted
the appropriation of vast numbers of these water
powers that had come under its control. That is
unfortunately true, and it was a great mistake OF
policy whose repetition or extension it is desired
to avoid for the present. at least, by leaving the
property in federal control, where it will be safe
at least, SO long as Pinchot is on guard
1t may be urged that the application of this rule
gives an unfair advantage to the present owners
of water powers already appropriated and that is
quite true but when the principle of the unearned
increment is finally recognized, as it must be- we
shall be able to adjust the difference by taxation
All this may be far in the future but for present
the purpose is to avoid complications by holding
on to the title tothese water powers nown reserve
MELANCHOLY TOM
If it were not that melancholy had marked Com
missioner Gator for her might suspect him

IN STRANGE COMPANY

What the devil is Walter Macarthur doing in
that galley? 1t is grim joke, like Falstaf's
halfpennyworth of bread to this ntolerabe deal
of sack. With the exception of Macarthur and
Charley Wheeler every maniack of them, from
Gillctt down to his office boy, owes his political
being to William F. Herrn. The list only lacks
completeness because it does not include Frank
Short and John P. Irish
Do not let me be misunderstood l have no
quarrel with Governor Gillett because he made up
party of his own friends and his own sort That
his privilege and his right and I would have
had more respect for him had he been more con
sstent in the exercise of that right It was piece
OF weak minded and futile nonsense to include
Macarthur, who is not at all Jolly good fellow
being OF the puritan enthusiast type and is wholly
out OF sympathy with the methods and aspirations
OF the governors true friends In fine why not
make it unanimous?
ISoLATING TAFT
The point OF all this lies in the question. What
chance has Taft to learn from that crowd what
his fellow citizens of California are thinking and
what they want done in national way? These
men, with the exceptions noted are all of the
courtier class, skilled in making themselves agree
able to the powers. They think of the plain people
as "the rabble' and in private call them by that
name. They are of the sort that before now have
led rulers to their destruction. They goze and
Aatter and fawn. The truth is not in them
AMONG THE CoURTIERs
In such a crowd Macarthur would be as useful
as a SNOWFALL in hell. They would lose him in the
shuttle if they did not take him into camp bodily
as they have done before with other men in like
case. The fattery OF notice by those who sit in
the seats OF the mighty has subtle and prevailing
force. When a man of the people begins to wear
a swallowtail coat and drink champagne he is in
danger
shall hardly escape, that courtiers and aatterers
create about them corrupt and poisoned atrnos-
phere by which the truth is hidden or distorted
Mr.. Taft is good, easy man, Of whom it has been
said he will do nothing that he can't do sitting
down" He likes to have things pleasant and is
persuaded that he can reconcile the irreconcilable
If he will listen to that crowd they will assure
him that he Imagine, for instance, the presi-
dent asking Alfred Holman or General de Young
in their temporary capacity as representative
citizens of California what they think of the graft
prosecutions in San Francisco, or of the Payne
tariff or of the conservation of national resources
