Financier Says Country Il Suffering

GEORGE w. PERKINS.

HoUGHTON, Mich, Aug. 49,
That the federal government should
first try TO exercise supervision over
the big business concerns and not
try to smash them TO pieces, Is the
contention of George w. Perkins, Of
New York. His views were expressed
In a paper which was read by Presi-
dent McNair, OF the Michigan Col
lege of Mines, here yesterday.
Mr.. Perkins refers to the enact
ment OF the Sherman antitrust law
and its reimbursement and con-
tinues:
while many Of our members OF
congress have been loudly calling
for literal enforcement of the Sher.
man antitrust law by the executives,
our people have been told that what
they were suffering from were evil
practices by large corporations, and
that one of the chief reasons why
the practices were evil was because
the corporations were very large. At
last this question reached our SUI

that a company In not necessarily IL

ness men east and west, north and

bers. have expressed their opinion

while our executive officers have
been In the attitude stated, while
supreme court has found as II has,
and while our business men are al
most unanimous In their position,
congress has refused even to take
up a study of the question In such
a way as to ascertain whether there
In anything good and worth while In
the business mems contention.
Congress has steadily called for the
destruction Of our great business en-
terprises. II has appropriated money
to find out what crimes these con-
Germs have committed and what evil
practices, they have INDUCED in, but,
so far as common knowledge goes II
has not taken one step 70 ascertain
what good these concerns have ac-
complished and whether or not there
is anything OF benefit and value in
them that should be preserved. Its
slogan has seemeu to be, Millions for
destruction, but not one cent for
construction
Congress has ignored every sug-
gestion by Roosevelt, by Taft, by
Wickersham-yes. even by some OF

they evidently did not work fast hard enough

PERSONAL COMMENT.

Speaking of the from a personal standpoint
it is said of Erickson who is the head Of manufacturing
of the city, that though very successful business
man. he is of the most arbitrary in the whole
city and he will not harmonic with single member OF
the council yea, will not only not harmonic with the
other members, but will harmonic with him
self
Of Austin E. Griffith he is charged with having been
the contendng factor in the Chamber of Commerce for
years. but in spite of that he has done valiant work in
that body for the advancement Of the city His hobby
is the park and playground system of the city and he will
overlook all else to accomplish that is reported He
is attorney at law.
Max Warda has already shown the kind of stuff he
is made of and yet his enemies declare that he is grand
stand player and not sincere in laying open the Gill
administration which resulted in Gill IS recall Wardall
will harmonic with the working majority OF the body
and under no circumstances be hindering block He,
too is an attorney at law.
Edwin l.. Blaine has been sturdy hard working
member of the council for the past year. may be seen
from the record of the service he has rendered. but like
Socrates, when asked by man, who asked that the
name of Socrates not knowing he talking to Socrates
himself he wrote on Punishment shell, asked what
have you against Socrates? and the reply Was L am
tired Of him always being called the just That is about
all anv one had against Blaine. He is absractor by
profession.
Heskch is a new factor in tht political game OF the
city he being the first organized labor man that has ever
been elected to the council any other position in Seattle
He is charged with being unduy favorable to the saloon
forces and was put in the position by the saloon element
and he with s. Steiner it is said are the two men OF
all the rest in the council the saloon men look to as be-
ing in close touch with their business interest Hesketh
is without business experience but is said to be very
fair minded man. Steiner has splendid business recon-

Albert j. Goddard perhaps the most contentious
cuss in the old council from the viewpoint of those who
opposed him, and yet he conended for anything
but what he honestly believed in the interest of the
taxpayers In the council he has been not only aggressive
but nssen and though he has always been in the hope
