COMMERCE. AND THE LAW.

Modern business, organized in the
large way, minimizing the waste of
competition, using consolidated capital
and employing armies of workmen,
must be allowed to proceed upon its
course, but it must be kept amenable
to the authority of law and govern
ment," writes DIR. Albert Shaw in the
American Review of Reviews for Au-
gust. "Its operations are upon the ma
tional and international scale, and
ought not to be hampered by the con-
fiicting rules of fifty different states.
Commerce is a national affair, and the
spirit of the constitution is all against
local restrictions upon transportation
and the larger industry. The business
of the country is awaiting the broad,
full decisions that ought to be handed
down in the determination of the
Standard Oil and Tobacco cases. The
Sherman antitrust law, with all the
curious meanings that the lower courts
have read into it, is not a law of the
Modes and Persians. If the supreme
court finds that under that law almost
every sort of business combination or
agreement is criminal, then the business
interests of the country will do what
they can to secure the repeal or
amendment of a mischievous law that
is not in keeping with necessary BUSH
ness progress. The inevitable trend is
towards some kind of federal incor-
poration law, with the nations over
sight and protection of large indus
trial enterprises. AS regards transpor-
tation companies, the trend is shown
in the new rate law, which increases
the supervisory authority of the ma
tional government and which will
eventually be followed by a frank
legalizing of all agreements and COM
binations that will help to harmonic
and perfect the working of the coun-
try's railroad system as a whole. In
the process of working out the neces-
sary readjustments between the gov
ernmental world and the business
world, the supreme court has a very
important part to play This process
will require number of years and the
court will need the best brain and ef-
fort that such men as Governor Hughes
can bring to it,

PAVING AND DUST LAYING.

So much attention is being properly
devoted to the betterment of the roads

no SNAP the Jaguar Ffshing.

Charles w. Fitzgerald, naturalist
and explorer, who believes that the
story of the jaguar fishing with its tail
is not nature fake, sailed yesterday
by the Royal Mail liner Atrato for
Trinidad to prove his faith by moving
pictures and photographs. He has two
motorboats, painted green to CORES
pond in q measure with the jungles
that he expects to go through on the
tropical Orinoco. He will cover the
smaller of these boats, a 16-footer of
five horsepower. with brush and leaves
and wait on the side of the stream
where he knows the jaguar will ap-
pear. He is accompanied by two stu
dents, one from Boston and the other
from this city, and they will help work
the cameras.
Mr.. Fitzgerald says he has seen
jaguar fish. It let's its tail drag in the
water a bit and waits for a fish to ap-
pear. Then 1t wriggles the tail and
the fish bites. The jaguar turns swift
ly and harpoons the fish with claw.
Mr.. Fitzgerald says he will do no
hunting with the rifle, but his party
will be equipped with several rifles,
and will destroy life only for self-pro-
lection. He expects to get other good
pictures of wild animal life on the ORR
noco, including some of the marvel
GUS snakes and alligators for which
the river is famed in books. He would
not be surprised IL he got a snapshot
or moving picture photographs of
combat between q gator and a boa
constructor like the famous one cele-
brated in blank verse by an American
poet.-New York Sun.

High Ambitions, they bothered their
mother so that she couldn't read and,
if she picked up a Deep Book when
they were asleep, her mind wandered
off to pinning blankets and collie rem
edies. She decided that she would
become learned when they were
grown, and this little story is told now
because they are all grown and gone
and she hasn't yet become Learned.
She is so lonesome that she can't read.

EROA OTHER PENS
THE INHERITANCE TAX.

THE INHERITANCE TAX.
In these times of swollen fortunes it
is possible for men to accumulate enor-
NOUS possessions and enjoy the pleas
res thereof without carrying a fair
share Of the tax burden. Real EST ate
cannot escape and 1ertaiu other forms
Of property pay their lawful portion,
but it is practicable for the owner of
millions to receive their earnings
throughout his life without contribut-
revenues, and then to hand his for
untaxed. Meanwhile such a man has
the benefits of peace and order, of safe
ty and protection, and of all that CIV
lliZed government implies. OF course,
instances If complete tax evasion are
rare, and possibly in themselves not of
sufficient Importance to attack by leg
islation, but the practice of lodging in
r'art is scandalously common and no
laws have yet been devised that will
entirely overcome it. But such states
as have the direct inheritance tax
eventually make every man or woman
of means settle in some measure, since
when estates are transferred after
death there can be no evasion, and just
to the extent that revenues are thus de-
rived may the general tax burden be
lightened. Besides, a direct inheritance
tax has a tendency to encourage the
apporti onncent of unusually large es-
tates or fortunes-here again. to be
sure, to escape the tax gathe-er-and
such a division works for the general
gool.-Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
