private ownership. But human nature seems too frail to be intrusted with the enormous power that monopoly gives to those who possess it. They are not con- tent with that which is just and reason able, and in their effort to secure more they resort to means which shock the public conscience and at last compel mu- nicipal ownership.
 The railroad companies partake so much of the character of monopolies that pulp lie ownership of them has been discussed as a means of protecting the public from watered stock, exploitation and extortion. But public ownership of railroads if 1t comes, will not be nearly so great tax upon the government as the ownership of industrial enterprises.

Money Obscures Process

If the public does not see that the meth- ods are identical, it is because the glamor of financial success has obscured the pro- cesses by which the victims money is ex- tracted.
 The third plan is, to my mind, the only one consistent with history with economic principles, and with the public welfare. The private monopoly should be regarded as indefensible and intolerable, and leg islation should be enacted which will com- pei the dissolution of all monopolies now in existence and make 1t impossible for a private monopoly to tbe created hereafter.
 The democratic platform outlines a plan, and our new form of government makes this plan easy of adoption. The plan is, in substance, as follows: Let license be required of interstate commerce cor porations when they secure a certain pro- portion of the trade.
 Monopoly depends upon the proportion of coptrol. A corporation that controls per cent of the product in which it deals cannot regulate the price or fix the terms upon which others do business If, how ever, 1t controls s5 per cent of the prod uct, it can fix both price and terms. Some where between 5 per cent and 95 per cent the control becomes effective in the es- tablishment of monopoly.
 Congress Has Control
 AS Congress has complete control over interstate commerce, it can fix the per- centage at any amount. Our platform suggests 25 per cent as the point at which license should be required. But the percentage is not so material as the prin- ciples to be applied. and the percentage can be changed whenever experience proves that it is too high or too low.
 The proposed license differs essentially from national incorporation. The license system recognizes the right of the states to incorporate, and it should also recog- nize the right of each state to fix any con dition 1t pleases upon foreign corporations doing business in the state. license would not grant any new powers. It would simply be a restriction upon the powers already possessed by corporations.
 The plan proposed in the democratic platform contemplates a regulation of the corporations that take out license with
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-11
Had Better Look Ahead

Before the people admit that competition is impossible and concede that monopoly is a necessity. they had better look ahead for monopoly In industry. It has none of the elements of the natural monopoly.
 Competition is practically impossible in the matter of water, light and street car service, and competition Is being reduced to minimum by railroad consolidation. But in the care of industries there is no good reason for monopoly. The corpora tfons that now control the various indus tries have many plants and some of these plants are quite independent in manage ment.
 / The only reason for combination is to prevent competition, and the only reason for preventing competition is to secure larger profits.
 The trust Is not an economic develop ment any more than horse stealing or bur glary. The man who holds up the passen- ger on the highway acts upon the same principle that underies private monopoly The trust conducts highway robbery on more polite and more extensive scale. Btu there is no distinction from moral stand point between the trust methods and the methods of the highwayman.

prohibition of more than 50 per cent con- trol. That is, licensed corporation would be permitted to engage in interstate commerce on such terms as were fixed by the federal law and by state laws, but would not be permitted to control more than 50 per cent of the total product.

GETS FORTUNE A c
Miller Man Makes Settlement with
Clever YOUNG Lady.

Clever Young Lady.
Miller.-The case of Nj. Haberman,
a wealthy citizen of Miller, who was
nearly fleeced Of his fortune in Cali
fornia by a woman half his age has
been settled after a trial in court in
Los Angeles, the woman giving up the
100000 worth Of securities that h
Miller man had given her.
Last fail, to escape the imagined
hardships Of a winter in South Dakota,
M. Haberman with some twenty others
departed for the western coast to re-
man until spring. 1t was not long at
ter the arrival there before Mr.. Ha-
herman met in a dentists Office the
fair lady who later proved to be his un-
doing. Her name was Wheeler, and
while she had a husband he was not in
evidence. She seems to have played
upon the sympathies of the South Da-
kota man. who was a widower, to an
alarming degree and was Don get
ting his ready money way from him.
1t was not until he began to sign over
his mortgages to her that the friends
became interested and begged him to
drop the newly found acquaintance.
He promised that he would, but when
he would again meet her h would
exert such an influence over him that
he would do her bidding. His friends
fastened to inform his ons in South
Dakota of what was going on. Means
were taken at once to prevent the pay
ment of the assigned notes and mort
cages to the woman. When they were
demanded of her by the aged victim,
who at last began to see through it all,
and by the sons, she refused to give
them up. The matter then had to be
taken into court. and when the trial
came she was compelled to ~disgorge.
1t cost Mr.. Haberman about $4,000,
according to his own statement, but
he saved a fortune that seemed almost
slipping from him before the proceed
ings to recover were started.

Terribly Injured in Wreck.

Redtield.-F. V. Campbell of this
place. was seriously injured in an au-
tomobile accident here. Returning
from the country with a travelling man,
he was going at a high rate of speed.
Thinking he had arrived at a street
corner, he turned north across the
sidewalk and plunged into a newly
dug cellar. The man who was accom-
panying him was thrown out. but es-
capped serious injury. The car turned
over and fell upon Mr.. Campbell,
breaking his collar bone and nearly all
of his ribs, and crushing his chest. His
life at first was despaired of, but he
has been improving and chances for
his recovery are much better.
