ROOSEVELT ON CORPORATIONS

In his speech at Cincinnati. Mr..
hooseVelt lald himself open to the
scathlng criticism of Mr.. Hill for mis-.
representation of the Hill roads. 1t is
very properly stated by President Hill
OF the Great Northern that that road
never received any Government aid
whatever. This, however, is an example
of the loose way of Mr.. NooseveIt in
dealing with public questions and In
making his points effective. The same
may be said in a general way of his
whole raid upon corporations. He
bends his attack upon them to the
point that they are corporations; that
Is, he wants the National Government
TO take hold Of them in their corporate
capacity There is, however, no Con-
stltutional warrant for this; the only
way in which the National Government
is Justified in dealing with corporations
is IN their Interstate commerce or
transportation capacity In their in.
terstate commerce features, they are
subject to the jurisdication of Con-
Gress, unlimited and complete As cor
porations simply. they arc not subject
TO the jurisdiction of Congress at all.
with respect to Mr.. Roosevelt IS
new ldeas' on Nationalism, the same
lneXactncss of thought exists. There
Is no more reason for Congress under.
taking to assume jurisdiction over the
local business of corporations, than
there is for a claim that Congress
should assume like jurisdiction over
the business Of any firm or individ.
ual.
In all this matter, Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
hibits confusion of IDEAS that is evi-
IDENTIFY Intentional, and suggestions are
put forward by him to confuse the
situation and call forth the admiration
OF the mob. Of course, he knows better.
Just as he knows that his recent at
tack upon the Supreme Court of the
United States was wholly unwarranted.
In that attack he not only misstated
the issues invo1vedvbut he very clearly
conveyed the idea that court has lib
erty to decide a case according to the
personal opinion of the Judge as to how
he would like to see the matter dc.
cided. Mr. Roosevelt. however, knows,
as every one else in the land familiar
with court procedure knows, that
Judges in their action are bound by the
law and not by their personal desires;
that they are held to the law and to pre-
cedents and judgments that bind them
firmly in their conclusions. SO that Mr..
Roosevelt IS attack upon the court was
not only anarehical, but was dishonest
and demagogie, He knows better. of
course; but he was willing to get down
on to the low plane Of playing to the
mob IN order to evoke applause
The charitable view to take Of Mr..
Roosevelt S talk in his recent "swing
around the circle is that too much
public applause has made him reckless
and turned his head. He really seems
not to be knowing what he guys, OF the
effect Of his words. The general iudp.
ment upon his performance must be
chat he is an exceedingly dangerous
man, whom 1T would be perlous to
again entrust with power in this Re.
public.

The feature of the week in mining
circles was the release of the August
copper statistics of the Copper Pro.
ducers' Association, The report showed
that for the first time in many months
the copper surplus was reduced, there
being approximately 100000 pounds
lost to the domestic accumulation of the
metal. This decrease was not due to
the programme of copper curtailmen1,
for the production in August was ex-
ceptioually large, and the plan of re-
duction of output had not time to be
felt, but it was due to the increase in
domestic deliveries. thus constituting a

ing Company.
Very favorable reports have been
made during the week in regard to the
San Juan oil fields Of the State, and a
great deal Of telling activity is under
way there. An optimistic interview
was given by f. a. Clark, who resigned
his position as State Oil Inspector Of
Washington to operate tho oil prop
critics owned at San Juan by himself
and associates. The United States Geo
logical Survey is now making an exam
ination Of the field. and report may
be submitted by the first Of the year.
Copper and lead prices have held firm
ly at l2 2.5 cents and $40, respec'
lively, so 1ar this month, and silver
has gained somewhat in price during
the past two days.
The good crops throughout the State
help business conditions materially, and
give monev good distribution through
out the State. Prices of all farm prod.
uc1s remain high, and the farmers and
stockmen are we'll able to buy all that
they need or desire This causes q gem
eral and large distribution of merchan-
disc, and diffuses prosperity in all parts
of tho State.
In the country at large, the develop
ments of the week are favorable. The
crop reports strengthen the business
situation. There is rood buying by job
bers and corespondingly good orders
by retailers. General trade is moro OPP
timistic. and would be more so were it
not for the dark shadow Of political
demagogy which is deterrent TO busi.
ness and industrial activity.
The movement in cotton has been a
caution prevails. The crop seems to be
short, but yet there is n reluctance to
concede the high prices asked. The
cotton manufacturers combine seems to
be willing to risk the sale Of cotton to
England and Importation of cotton
goods as a factor in competitive com
merce.
There appears to be plenty Of money
in the country. in spite Of tho large
exports Of gold that were required to
settle our balance of trade. The i'm
mense sales of railroad bonds abroad,
however, tended to equalize the situA-
tion, and returned to us some of the
gold.
The stock market is stagnant, and
will undoubtedly remain so until the
corporate situation is more clearly de-
fined. The general conditions, however.
are fairly satisfactory. With good
crops and an abundance Of money in
the country, there ought to be fairly
prosperous year in all forms of business

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The return Of the hot weather has
retarded the Fall activity in business
in every direction, save only in the mat
ter Of building. The building opera
tions in this city are pushing with the
energy, activity, and comprehensiyeness
that have characterized them through
out the season. They pervade all parts
Of the city and include all forms Of
construction. The public eye is espe.
cially directed to the Kcarns building
and TO the Utah Hotel, both Of which
show marked advancement every week,
to the admiration of an appreciative
public Other construction goes on in
an energetic fashion, and the year will
doubtless show the greatest results in
the history of the city.
There is good deal of inquiry for
various kinds of realty, and doubtless
with the opening Of the Fall season
there will be a lively activity in the
real estate market.
General trade throughout the city is
active and large. For the first time in
number of weeks, the bank clearances
show a gain over the corresponding
week of last year, but this gain is so
great-63.5 per ceut-that it is worth
waiting for. 1t is the greatest gain
shown for the week in any important
city in the United States.

what larger scale, to find out how much
his family has increased in population

the whole Union at ninety million, but
