The murder of Elsie Sige,

has occasioned ii world OF
comment against the Chinese

used.
There may be many argu-
ments and morals to be drawn
from the fact that the slayer
OF Elsie Sigel was a China
man, but the connection OF
the Oriental with the case
rather serves to bring out the
fact that crime among the
lChineSe is rare.
In proportion to the mum
Der of Chinese in America,
the amount OF CRIME com
mitted by them is relatively
small.
Under ordinary circum
stances the Chlnaman or the

criminal.

again the tax can be removed. 1
One of the best features of the plan
is the insurance that will be given to
investors in the stock of corporations.
The government will extend it's super
vision over these corporations, and
hence they will be subject to gov
ernmental scrutiny. Their books will
be open, and there will be no chance
to play high finance with the money
of estates, widows, orphans and poor
people. The officers of corporations
will be on oath. Their reports will
:; not only be made to boards of d.
rectors, but to government officials
Stocks cannot be juggled, assets Sc
GREETED, nor earnings falsified. The
stockholders will have a chance to
know how their money is being hand
led. This is the plan that is followed
in England, and it has proved highly
satisfactory. The meetings of boards
; of directors there are public, and
their proceedings are published.
| Government control Of corporations
engaged in interstate commerce is a
necessity. 1t is bound to come. The
more progressive business men of the
country understand this, and are
anxious to have the reform made.
The present plan to tax corporations
extends to all corporations, whether
engaged in interstate commerce or
not. After the deficit shall have been
met, it may be that congress will re.
move the tax and repeal the law ir
so far as it may relate to corporations
not engaged in interstate business
The plan, however, offers short cut
to the end desired, which is govern
mental supervisor Of interstate cor
porations, and, therefore, it should ap
peal to the progressive elements of all
parties. The details of such supervis
ion can be worked out as experience
points the way. d,
President Taft has solved the prob
lem that confronts congress and the
country. His plan is simple, effective
and progressive. 1t disposes of pres
ent emergencies and takes a step for
word toward desired reform. 1

gress, without regard to party lines
