various fields Of business activity.
When the regulation OF the railroads
was suggested and first attempted
some score of years ago, there vera
many of the big railroad men who in
sisted that governmental activity OF
this sort would throttle the life out of
the largest industry in the land; would
choke the arteries of commerce. Time
and experience with an ever-increasing
measure Of government control of the
railroads have disabused any such
fears The same will prove to be true
in the matter of the regulation of huge
corporations that are Familiarity refer
red to as industriaIs.
The only wonder is that the bringing
about Of this control has been delayed
SO long. Too many people, including
national law makers. have gone on the
theory that the Sherman antitrust law
was the only weapon the government
needed to cope with the evils incident
to the management of some of the
trusts. But that measure is regulatory
in no way except that unreasonable
trusts can be dissolved. The root of
most Of corporate evils is to be found
in watered stock which demands the
maintenance of excessive prices so that
remunerative dividends can be pro-
vided. There is nothing in the Sher-
man antitrust law or it's applica-
ton that can squeeze water out of the
industrial stocks or prevent more from
being injected.
Regulating the big corporations by a
government commission is bound to
come. And its advent should be hasten
ed along.

That Topeka needs a city forester

And these trees need attention.
It is only one property owner in
hundred or more who has anything
like right ideas as to how trees should
be trimmed and pruned. Nearly every
person who has trees on his premises
is anxious and willing to care for them
properly and preserve them in all their
beauty and effectiveness, but he
doesn't know how. And trees are cas-
ily ruined or killed by an indiscrim-
mate hacking away at thei- branches
by weIl-disposed folk who are unin-
formed as to how trees should be
trimmed.
Above all a systematic trimming OF
the trees in the city is needed so that
the best results in all particulars can
be obtained This work can only be
done in the best possible way under
the direction of an expert forester
