SENATOR DIRECTS
INVESTIGATION
OF PRICES
BY GORE DISCUSSED
AT SOME LENGTH.
Wishes Statements Concerning Retail
Dealers ExtortIonate Prices
Thoroughly Probed.

Washington, May 18.-Senator
Cores resolution directing the COM
mittee on finance to conduct an inves.
tieation into wholesale and retail
prices of commodities was discussed
before tho senate today at some
length. Seeking to have the resolution
adoptd, Mr.. Gore said he wished to
have statements concerning the extor-
tionate prices of retail dealers fully
probed, so that the country might
know just where the responsibility for
high prices rests.
Senator Aldrich said 1t was evident
such an investigation as that contem-
plated could not be conducted before
the pending tariff bill was disposed of.
but he had no objection to such an in
vestigation being undertaken. Sena-
tor Carter pointed out that In doing
this work the finance committee would
necessarily cover the same ground
which the proposed tariff committee
would cover.
That the cotton manufacturers sell
their products with on agreement as
to the price at which they are to be
sold at retail was the substance OF
charge made by Mr. Owen.
Demanding proof Of this assertion,
Mr.. Gallinger said that what the coun
try is demanding is prompt action on
the tariff bill, He added that it had
been asserted that the business in
terests Of this country were losing
$10,00000 day by the holding up OF
the tariff bill
Referring to the pledge Of the Re
publican party to make the tariff rates
equal to the difference In cost of pro-
duction here and abroad, Mr.. Owen
said 1t was the duty of the majority
to inform the senate as to what thAt
difference was.
Mr. Aldrich replied that the com
mittee had done much to furnish such
facts, but the Oklahoma senator con-
tended that there was no available in
formation of the kind he wanted

peal for business like proceeding.

Mr.. Gore spoke at length Before the

WRITING OF AMERICANS ON
SHORT ACQUAINTANCE.

The Italian historian Ferrero, who
lately visited the UISte1 States,
analyzing the position occupied by
American millionaIres, advances the
theory that men of wealth feel them
selves surrounded by public hostility
and that consequently they are bound,
like their prototypes in ancient
Greece, to assume public responsible
tiles and vindicate themselves before
the people"
Signor Ferrero attributes much of
the former hostility to John D. Rookie
feller to his disregard for the public
curiosity and to the mysteries with
which he surrounded himself, and he
points out that latterly Mr.. RockefeI-
Ter has changed his tactics by pub
fishing his memoirs and granting in
terviews freely.
The writer considers that Andrew
Carnegie. on the contrary, has play
ed to perfection the role OF Croe-
seus In democracy.
He has given lavishly," says the
article. land maintained good rela-
tions with the public through the press
and his books and by fathering the
theory, now generally accepted in Am
erica. that millionaires are freely the
depositaries of their fortunes and have
we'll defined obligations.
I'm Europe the belief exists that
American millionaires are modern
Satraps, who exercise their power
ruthlessly and with the greatest au-
dacity and courage. This is true,
perhaps, SO far as business is con-
cerned, but in politics they are timid
and vacillating. They feel themselves
enveloped by animosity and menaced
ny growing opposition which makes
them conceal rather than display
their power"
Ferrero Is attempting too close an
analysis on too short an acquaintance.
No foreigner can obtain fair esti-
mate of Americans on a short VISIT.
Americans themselves are unable to
accurately Judge the millionaire for

INCOME TAX IN ENGLAND

There Is much debate in the United

to whether such tax would prove
constitutional and. II constitutional,
as to its effect on business. While
the senator's are debating those points,
the British Parliament Is considering
the advisability Of relieving the bur

by further increase of the present
British income tax rates. The Brit
ish chancellor has suggested that the
present income tax of 26 cents on
every Ave dollars be raised to- rs
cents on incomes more than S2.5O0 a
year; that on incomes above SEE, 900
it be 30 cents on s5; that estate dut-
les and collateral inheritance taxes
be so heavily increased that In tho
case OF certain bequests to unrelated
parties, 1t amounts to 25 per cent or
