THE MAGAZINE GRAFT.

The magazines OF today are burden
ed with surplus Of purity and wis
dom. Practically all honor and integ-
rity belongs to the magazine and as
for wisdom they all confess that their
special writer's can solve any problem
AS a rule these writer's haven't made
much of a success themselves but
they are quite ready to show others
how to get along The affairsof gov
ernment as a rule are not run to their
liking. Most any Of these writer's
could do much better. Yet with all
their honesty and integrity 1t turns
out that they are in on government
graft. They pay the same for pos
tage that the newspapers do, yet 1t Is
shown by the postoffice department
that the average haul for the mag
azine Is twice as far. Moreover the
magazine is much heavier and carries
more advertising than the newspapers
do. The magazine also charges from
is to 35 cents each and are published
more for the we'll TO do than are the
newspapers which are sold at a low
price. The magazines are rich corpor-
ations which make fortunes for their
owners. Their dividends are high and
they have found = profitable to regu-
late the affairs Of others and graft on

Liberal campaigners are now max

The "boy scout movement, organ

ranks, uniformed and drilled regul-

"Do not allow yourself to be myst-

engineered by wealthy manufacture

the Liberal campaign proclaimations.
The object of all this turmoil is
industrial enslavement and its meth

conscription and protection
"Conscription is TO provide the
force necessary to keep the workers
under, and protection is to rifle their
pockets with down. This is the inner

House, today, that illegal and law
breaking corporations will of their
own volition, not incorporate under
a federal law that would put an end
TO their Illegal activity. Under a
voluntary law, the so-called good
corporations, which are not the ones
really needing federal supervision,
would Immediately take out federal
charters. The so o-called bad cor.
porations--the illegal trusts which
have built up their business by vio-
lating this law--would continue as
they are today, scorning to hand
themselves over to the control of the

Many members OF congress, in
cluding myself, favor a compulsory
clause--if we must nave an incor-
poration law. All corporations in
Interstate trade, capitalized above a
reasonable figure, should, in our
judgment be given a limited time
say one year--to take out federal
charters. If they do not comply,

of the intention of the railroads to
plain overcharge claims and of their
delay in settling them, the interstate

severe lecture.
Calling attention to the fact that
when an under charge occurs 1t Is
promptly discovered and demand is
at once made on the shipper for pay
ment the commission says that over
charges are detected with equal fac
ility but that payment is only obtain
able after a great effort and delay,
Admitting that there Is nothing
In the law giving the commission au-
thority to establish any limit of time
for the adjustment OF claims. which
In ordinary cases, ought to be settled
within thirty days, the decision says:
Carriers owe 1t to themselves not

what, In their own interest and in
fairness to shippers, should be done
