The Monetary Commission.

The fate of the Aldrich monetary
commission Is sealed. 1t is declared in
Washington. The house committee on
expenditures of the treasury depart
ment has looked over the membership
of the commission. considered the ar
ray of lame ducks sourly and deciced
that this will be a good place to prac-
tice some of the economy SO highly
recommended by the executive Offices.
The monetary commission was born
of the necessity OF currency reform
made glaringly apparent when con-
gress met after the panic of 1907
Some real work has been performed
The commission, In its early labors,
uncovered the flaws in our system
The measures advised, with the sane
tion of Senator Aldrich, have received
the endorsement of bankers, flnan-
ciers, students, statesmen, and
thoughtful citizens throughout the
country. 1t is admitted that he has
shown clear thinking, progress and
patriotism in the currency plans he
has devised. Yet the monetary COM
mission has fallen into low estate. 1t
has been made the cushion upon
which discarded politicians might fall.
It is the buffer between them and
the cold, cold world of private and
jobless life.
To the credit of Mr.. Aldrich, 1t must
be said that he is in sympathy with
the movement to disband the commits
sion. He, himself has accepted no
money from the liberal appropriation
made for it. and there are other men,
bers who have been as stoically self
denying. But the work OF the com
mission will not have been lost. The
effort to reform a dangerous make
shift will surely have its sequel in
legislation and the establishment of
the currency upon an efficient basis

Deserved Tribute.

The Endorsement by the New York
American of President Taft's tribute
to Secretary Knox for his work In
bringing to final success the reciproc-
ity treaty with Canada, and the addi.
ton thereto of praise for the secre-
tary's success in broadening the
sphere of international arbitration, is
striking appreciation.
The American Is a paper whose
character and aims develop a natural
antagonism for public man of Knox 8
conservatism and untheatrical meth
DDS. That antagonism has taken
the form of slurs If not accusations
in the past. But the secretary g
achievements in these two lines Of
International work have been so sig
nal as to elicit frank praise from the
paper which is wont to expend on
his class more of the ammunition Of
denunciation than Of laudation.
The force of the fact lies in its
truth. Secretary Knox has kept him
self less in the public eye than almost
any other member Of the Taft cabinet
but what he has accomplished is .
part Of the worlds progress.

NOT AVERSE TO PUBLICITY
Trusts Are Beginning to Recognize
the Mistake They Have Made
In the Past.

Were every great trust required to
make yearly, quarterly and monthly
reports in as much detail as the rail
roads and national banks, the Harves-
ter trust would never have had to
issue the series of denials of various
charges filed with the house investi-
eating committee. All the facts stated
would have appeared in official re-
ports and they would not be open to
the doubt attaching to an ex parte
statement.
The necessity Of publicity. not only
for the public, but for the trusts, Is
now accepted by nearly all the heads
Of these great combinations. Most
trusts would probably be ready to ac-
cept even the sweeping provisions Of
the bill introduced by Senator New
lands Of Nevada, who has proposed
an inquiry in the fall to pave the way
for the enactment of his measure.
Senator Newlands, a most conserva-
tive Democratic leader, proposes an
Interstate trade commission" OF five
members paid $4,000 a year. This
commission is to require from trusts
any reports it decides upon, learn all
details as to prices. impose regula-
tions and then, at its discretion, per-
nit corporations with gross receipts
of over 100000 to be Registered"
Without this registration, no corpora
ton of this size can enter interstate
commerce.
This sweeping legislation would
have been rejected by any trust five
years ago. Today 1t would be accepted
by most, and some such requirement
for reports. regulation and supervision
has been urged by every man con-
spicuous in trust management who has
testified this summer at Washington
before the house committee now in
vestigating trusts.-Chicago Tribune.

VITAL TO THE NATION
QUESTION OF CURRENCY RE
FORM AlL-IMPoRTANT.
Address Of Former Senator Aldrlch,
Acknowledged Authority, Before
rrans-M Mississippi Commercial
Congress-, viii Have Full
Consideration.

There is much of interest and i'm
portance in the announcement that
former Senator Aldrich will address
the Trans-Mississippi Commercial con-
gress which meets In Kansas City,
Mo-, in November on the subject OF
Currency Legislation to Prevent
Panics." The time, the occasion, the
theme and the speaker will be well
Joined.
A month later congress will as
semble in regular session. and cur
rency reform will be one of the sub
jects to which the president will call
his attention. 1t is. generally agreed
that something should be done The
business world has become somewhat
impatient. All talk and no action has
made Jack an Objectionable boy.
Men Of affairs want Jack to suppress
his chatter and get move on. The
way to reform the currency Is to re-
form it.
The occasion fits perfectly. A great
commercial convention is the very
body to ponder on a matter going to
the very root of commercial activity

sent different localities and widely DIFF
ferent Investments, but all will have
at heart the proposition of a sound
currency In easy and successful opera
ton.
The theme, while In a way connect
ed with both the tariff and the trust
themes, Is more important than either
For tariff reform and trust reform,
important as they are, would be Of
small good If our currency lacked the
element OF accommodation for larger
trade and improved business organiza-
ton. The deficiencies of our currency
laws are confessed, and both parties
and all responsible classes desire their
removal The president stands ready
to aid, and congress at as early
day as possible should take the ques-
ton up and dispose of It.
Mr.. Aldrich is admirably qualified
to discuss the subject. 1t is not neces
sary to accept his views to concede
this. He was a successful business
man before he entered politics, and
while in politics-a period of nearly
forty years-he addressed himself al
most exclusively to business ques-
tions. He closed his thirty years In
the senate as chairman of the finance
committee, and in all debates In which
either the money question or the ques-
tion Of taxation figured he always
bore prominent. and often a leading,
part.
For several years past Mr. Aldrich
has travelled much, gathering informa-
ton on this subject. and studied much
in an effort to put 1t into shape for
American use. He Is now out of poll
tics, and the animosities that played
around his name while he was a par
ty leader and fair target for attack
need not influence judgment at this
time against him. What he says
should have consideration on its mer-
its by all who with open minds are
eager for suggestions from all well in
formed sources.
