New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-06-23

On his departure for Europe the
other day Samuel Untermeyer, one of
the foremost corporation attorneys OF
the country, declared that the federal
government has not made any attempt
to curb criminal practices by the cor
porations. He criticised President
Roosevelt for giving immunity to the
steel trust and expressed the belief
that if efforts to curb the corporations
are suspended the country will have
an upheaval compared with which
'tthe mild and harmless experiments
of the last administration will seem
like a midsummer zephyr alongside
of cyclone" Mr.. Untermeyer acted
as counsel for Adolph Segal in the
recent suit against the sugar trust.
Asked as to whether his client had
declined to press such a prosecution
or take any active part in aiding it he
said:
"What would be the use. The
sugar company has been a consistent
lawbreaker ever since its birth. Its
activities in congress has been one OF
, the scandals of the country for many
years. It has robbed the people and
ruined it's would-be competitors. But
I it is no worse than many others in its
criminal methods and not quite so bad
as some.
ssThis suddenly aroused virtuous
adherence of it's methods is amusing.
It accidentally happens at the moment
to be the scapegoat, but as the govern
ment has waited until after the prin-
cipal offenders are dead, it doesn't
matter much.
Whenever the government really
wants to bring the criminal rich, those
who are managing these conspiracies
| that are VIGOROUSLY violating the
criminal law, within the penalties o.
| that law, it will not be difficult. There
never has been an honest, intelligent
effort to enforce the ample provisions
of the law against any of the monste,
monopolies.
ssThe government has had no Groublt
in convicting and driving out OF bust
ness few poor, struggling, compare
lively harmless combinations tina
were put together to prevent bank

Senate bill duty on champagne,

Senate bill duty on champagne,
54.3O per cent ad valorem.
Senate bill duty on WOODEN blankets,
166.42 per cent ad valorem.
In his address to the country when
the Senate tariff bill was reported
from the finance committee. Senator
Aldrich declared that the bill provided
for reduction of the duty on necessi-
ties and an increase Of the duty on
Injuries. Discussion has proved that
there is not line of downward re-
vision in the pending Senate bill and
no prospect of such line appearing.
The wooden schedules, which have
been adopted by the Senate, in the face
of bitter protests by Senators Dolli-
yer, La Toilette and other progressive
senators from the Middle West, con-
clusively show some of the jokers and
inequalities in the pending bill.
The tax on blankets valued at less
than 40 cents pound is LOT per cent
ad valorem. The tax is greater than
the price. Blankets that cost over so
cents pound are taxed Il per cent.
If they are more than three yards in
length and are valued at less than 40
cents pound, the tax is 'l65 per cent.
If the value is more than 70 cents, the
tax is 104 per cent. AS usual the
highest tax is on the cheapest product,
though all these taxes are monstrous.
The duties on the higher-priced blank
cts are II and 1O4 per cent, and those
on the cheapest blankets are 107 and
165 per cent.
No one will contend that the differ
ence between the cost of labor in this
country and abroad amounts to more
than the cost of the manufactured
article. The only answer is that the
high protection goes into the pockets
of the Wooden trust. The Baltimore
News has this very lucid explanation
of the way the tariff operates to the
hurt of the consumer and the enrich.
ment of the Wooden trust:
| The worsted manufacture of the
country is dominated by the Ameri.
can Wooden company. In making
worsteds, those woods are used which
shrink least. In making carded wool,
those woods are used which shrink

The New Editor.

In assuming the editorial manage
ment of the Review I fully COM
prehend the width and the breadth of
the responsibilities connected with this
work. I also know the Importance of
thes facts which if recognized as
sntegral parts of Newspaper work will
go a great ways to make up and to
publish readable Sheet
A weekly paper as regards its local
News is just exactly what the public
yaake it. If you withhold the news,
they can not be published. Therefore
If the little joker Amor has sue
ceeded in his efforts and the rings
were exchanged before the preacher
or justice, let us know.
If you intend to take trip publish
at. If sorrow visits your home permit
aus and the public to sympathize with
you. thereby diminishing your grief.
If Joy prevails publish the fact thereby
increasing your happiness. If the
sstork visits your home give the exact
date of this worthy gentleman's
arrival and the mature of his gift.
Our telephone call is 1Ol.
AS to editorials: You have an
opinion and you are certainly entitled
80 it. I ask to be given the same
prerogative. We may not always
agree. What of it. It matters little
between men who have but one aim in
view: To better our social, economi-
cal, industrial and political conditions
and they are worthy our best efforts
and to fight the existing evils. And
there are many.
On conclusion I wish to thank Mr..
e. w. Johnson for his kind words of
Introduction in last weeks Review.
I shall always endeavor to be his
worthy successor - which is not an
easy task-and to deserve the friend
ship of Mr.. Johnson's large circle OF
friends and the good will of the public.
He has certainly edited an interest
ing, clean paper which at any time
compared favorably with any Weekly
in Minnesota and the Northwest.
Mr.. Johnson who will now devote
ais entire time to his various bust
ness interests, can rest assured that
the esteem, good will and respect Of
the Review force will 60 with him and
that the pleasant relations of the past
will long be remembered by all. And
everyone joins with the editor in wish
ing him success and many happy
days.

most. But the duty is the same on
both. So it works out this way:
The carded wool man briggs in, say,
loo, 900 pounds of grease wool, and
pays II cents a pound duty. Then he
washes and scours it to get the grease
out, and he has left $4,000 pounds of
real wool. That makes his duty %
cents a pound. The worsted man
brings in 100, 900 pounds of the light
shrink wool suited for his business,
and pays II cents a pound duty. He
then scours it, and finds that it has
shrunk, not to $4,000 pounds, but to
about $4,000 pounds. The carded
wool man paid s11,O0 to get $4,000
pounds of actual wool past the custom
house. The worsted man paid S11 200
to get S., 900 pounds of his kind Of
wool past. There is joker No. l.
Joker No. lies in the fact that
Glass wool, washed on the sleeps
back, is taxed % cents, while Glass
wool, washed on the sleeps back, is
taxed only IL cents. Result: No
Glass l wool can be imported at all.
It's the sort of woot the carded
woolen-makers use. It's also the sort
of wool they raise in Utah, Wyoming
and the other states whose Senators
are so we'll pleased with the present
wool schedule. But Glass wool, with
only the 12-cent rate, can be imported
it's the kind the Wooden trust uses,
and the kind they raise in the Middle
West.
There is the whole thing. The
Wooden trust gets cheap wool, the
carded WOODEN people get dear wool
The trust makes big profits, the carded
wool people are going out of business
The raisers of Glass l wool make a
huge profit because no foreign WOO.
which will compete with them car
come in. The raisers of Glass WOO
make small profits because their duty
is low and they must meet foreign
competition.
And that explains the combination
between the New England Senators
who have the Wooden trust factories
as constituents and the far Western
Sen ators who raise the No. wool.

Pointsd Aphorism Of Wagner.

A privilege it is to serve those who
have lived life of helpfulness.
Man like water naturally finds his
level.
The meddlesome tongue of gossip
snakes & controls moral towards.
IN joyful abandon live the birds,
why not man?
we like Fido because he likes us
and shows delight in serving us.
The view of a valley is not lost to
the climber of heights overlooking
same, and the new point of vantage
may add transcending beauties beyond
the sight of those below.
Telescopes are not used for some
purpose as magnifying glasses.
The appreciation shown by a spouse
when treated as an object on which to
show our affection, brings satisfac.

as a mere convenience.
Love is boomerang.

Slowly, almost without feeling the
winter air. the procession moves up
the crowded street Here the magni
fcenT funeral Car, drawn by sixteen
black horses, here his old generals,
here the faithful companions of his
long exile, and here a remnant Of the
Old Guard which came to march with
their Emperor to his tomb. The
December day is bitterly cold but no
freezing winter air subdues the fervor
which makes the great city ring with
the cries of Live the Emperor. !" The.
palace is reached. the coffin is con-
veyed to the tomb, while all about
there hangs deathlike silence as;
over all the spell of a master spirit is
cast Then the awful stiffness of the
great ten pie is broken by the sobs Of
the gray haired soldiers, the trusted
and revered companions of his cam
paigns through victory and defeat, as
their master is quietly and calmly
placed beneath the stone.

OF nation is a criticism of its
civilization. Civilization has been
long in building and its splendor still
hangs over US. It's vineyards were
we'll planted and their verdure and
luxuriance still surround the massive
structure Yet deep among the
tender roots of the vines are the
destroyers ever at works the little
foxes, that, greater than all other
enemies, threaten the permanence of
our gardens. ''Take ye the foxes,
the little foxes, that spoil our vines /;
