Doctor Wiley indicated.

The decision of President Taft in the
alleged salary grab conspiracy case in
the bureau of chemistry is sweeping
vindication for DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
chief Of the bureau and famous uphold.
er Of the national pure food laws.
1t is decision that pleases the entire
nation and strengthens its belief in Taft Is
sincerity and honesty.
The charges against DIR. Wiley were
that he and DIR. J.. F. Kebler, chief OF
the drug laboratory, and DIR, w. d.
Bigelow, assistant chief chemist, CON
spired together to pay DIR. H H. Rusby,
of New York, employed as pharma-
cognosist of the bureau a salary OF
81, 600 year, with the understanding,
however, that he was to do only so much
work as would amount to that sum at
the rate rate Of $40 day, when the
congressional regulations forbid any
such expert receiving more than SO a
day.
Attorney General Wick ersham looked
into the charges, but upon very incom-
plete data, according to President Taft,
and recommended that DR.. Wiley, DR..
Rusby and DIR. Bigelow be kicked out of
the service and that DIR. Kebler be re-
duced in rank for their various parts in
the conspiracy.
But President Taft did none Of these
things. He not only exonerated DR..
Wiley completely, but gave him high
praise besides, declaring that one can
not withhold ones sympathy with an
earnerst effort by DR.. Wiley to pay
proper compensation and secure expert
assistance in the enforcement OF so inn
portant a statute as the pure food law, |
certainly in the beginning, when the
questions arising under it are OF capital
importance to the public"
The others in the alleged conspiracy,
including DR.. Rusby, received only a
mild reprimand, and that with reference
to some incidental features of the case.
While President Taft's decision does
him credit the fact that influences in
his cabinet departments were about to
toboggan DIR Wiler out his office, on
incomplete data" does not
The President has been particularly
in the affairs ofhis cabinet,
which have given the nation the feeling
that, while he is perfectly straight and
clean, he is too easily worked by in
1uences and interests that are not.

,ation and cheers and encouragement I

is simply playing into the hands OF
few great financiers. The provision i
vicious in principle, and it should neve
be enacted by Congress.
No single man or interest should
be permitted to own or control or b,
represented in the directorate OF more
than one bank or trust company, where
the companies are nominally competi-
tors.
Only certain percentage OF the
deposits OF national banks should be
available for loan on stock exchange
collateral.
The national banks should be pro-
hibited, as are the assurance compa-
nies, from underwriting or issuing or be-
ing interested in any financial schemes.
" 1t is a recognized fact in the
American financial world to-day that
no enterprise, however meritoiious and
profitable, which involves raising as
much, say, as $1O,OoO,OOo, has the
slightest chance of favorable consider
alton if it interferes with an enterprise
that is controlled by, or is under the
protection of or is friendly to, the bank
ing interests as represented by two or
three of the great New York firms.
" Now, that is neither helpful nor
a tolerant situation. In the long run
it is destructive of the general pros
perity, and it has already done more to
foster monopoly than all the other fac
tors combined.
