sh ould be passed to prohibit the use of corporate funds directly or 1ndi- rectly for political purposes; 1t Is still more necessary that such laws shoul6 be thoroughly enforced. Corporate ex- penditures for political purposes and especially such expenditures by pub lie service corporations have supplied one of the principal sources of cor ruption in our political affairs.
 Tt has become entirely clear that we must have government supervision of the capitaliza tion not only Of pub lie service corporations, including par ticularly railways, but of all corpora tions doing an interstate business. do not wish to see the nation forced into ownership of the railways If 1t can possibly be avoided, and the only alternative Is thoroughgoing and er- fective regulation which shall be based on a full knowledge of all the facts, including a physical valuation of the property. This physical valuation is not needed, or at least Is very rarely needed for fixing rates but it is need ed as the basis of honest capitaliza- ton.

Short-Lived Franchises

We have come to recognize that fran chises should never be granted except for a limited time, and never without proper provision for compensation to the public. It is my personal belief that the same kind and degree of control and supervision which should be exercised over public service corporations should be extended also to combinations which control necessaries of life; such as meat, oil and coal, or which deal in them on an important scale.
 T believe that the officers, and especial ly the directors, of corporations should be held personally responsible when any corporation breaks the law.
 ''The absence of effective state, and especially national, restraint upon un- fair money-getting has tended to create small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power. The prime need Is to change the conditions which enable these men to accumulate power which 1t IS not Tor the general welfare that they should hold or exercise We grudge no man a for tune which represents his own power and sagacity, when exercised with entire re- gard to the welfare of his fellows. But the fortune must be honorably obtained and well used. It Is not even enough that 1t should have been gained without doing damage to the community. We should permit 1t to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community. This, know, implies a policy of a far more active govern mental interference with social and eco homie conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now neces- sary

Dollars Must Be Earned

s.No man shoald receive a dollar un- less that dollar has been fairly earned. Every dollar received should represent a dollars worth of service rendered. The really big fortune, the swollen fortune' by the mere fact of it's size, acquires qualities which differentiaee it in kind as well as in degree from what Is pos sessed by men of relatively small means. Therefore, I believe in a graduated in- come tax on big fortunes, and in another tax which is far more easily collected and far more effective. A graduated in- heritance tax on big fortunes, property safeguarded against evasion, and increas- Ing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate.
 '"The people of the United States suffer from periodical financial panfcs to de- gree substantially unknown among the other nations which approach us In finan- cial strength. There is no reason why we should suffer what they escape. It is of profound importance that our financial system should be promptly investigated, and so thoroughly and effectively revised as to make 1t certain that hereafter our currency will no longer fail at critical times to meet our needs.
 Tt is hardly necessary for me to re- peat that I believe in an efficient army and navy large enough to secure for us abroad that respect which is the surest guarantee of peace. Justice and fair dealing among nations rest on principles Identical with those which control justice and fair dealing among the individuals of which nations are composed: with the vital exception that esch nation must do it's own part in interns tional police work. National friendships, like those between men, must be founded on respect as well as on liking, on forbearances ns well as upon trust In all this 1t is peculiarly the duty of the United States tc set a good example,
