ADJUSTMENT NOT ATTACK,
1t Epitomizes the Changes in Thought
and Method

In an address at Norfolk. Va. Gov.
Woodrow Wilson happily phrased the
description of the change of sentin ent
that is spreading throughout the cuun-
try toward corporations, existing poll
teal and social conditions and the best
methods of dealing with pressing pub
lie problems. We are no longer in
the temper of attack" said Gov Will
son. We are ready for remedy and
adjustment and begin to see where to
begin and in what direction TO move
This epitamizes the changes in
thought and method that have come
about in the last few years. Only Il
few years ago the public was aroused
against the railroads-with eonsidera-
bic show OF justice-to the point Of
demanding everything short Of confis-
cation. Legislatures Wed with each
other in enacting restrictive railroad
laws and the railro ads fought back
using all their energy and great means
to control the political leaders in both
parties. The fight was carried to the
federal Congress ard the enactment
of the Hepburn act and the Elkins act
and the more recent enlargement of
the powers Of the Interstate commerce
commission served to show the people
how adjustment was better than as
sault Many grievances still exist
against the ralroads-and what is
true of the recent change toward rail-
roads applies generally to corporations
but the country, now that adequate
machinery has been provided for the
righting of these wrongs. is becoming
more content to abandon agitation for
legal and recognized methods of adj
Justment.
The same spirit of a square deal and
fair play is marking the efforts toward
most reforms. The revolutionary tenn
per is not as popular as it was a few
years ago when the agitator and the
muckraker Were iii their glory. The
dominant sentiment of the public to-
day is, as Gov. Wilson well says, not
TO upset things but to set things right.
1t seeks that legislation which aims 10
adjust old laws to meet the changed
conditions in our commercial, indus
trial and social life. It favors con-
struction, not destruction. With that
spirit pervading the people, the parties
must soon recognize il and give legis-
lative expression 10 it.-St Paul Pion

The tax commission has put it up
squarely to the Legislature to do some
thing with the matter Of property
valuation for taxation, for at present
property is supposed to be assessed at
its full value, and is actually assess
ed at fifty per cent or less. The
commission intimate that if the Iegis-
lature does not change the law, they
will take the responsibility Of raising
the valuations next year to their true
value. If this should be done it
would raise havoc with salary and
bond issue laws. The legislature
should get busy.

The Pioneer Press in an editorial
advocates the supplying of the new3-
papers with all the printed bills in

great gain would be made for good
legislation. Some few days always
elapse between when bill is printed
and when it comes to a vote, and if
the printed bills were sent out. there
would be an opportunity for the peo-
pie to be heard from. In this con-
nection, all bills should be reported
from committee and printed fifteen
days before the session closes.
