Day of the Open Books.

Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
suggests to the big corporations that they
open their books to the public and cease
the star chamber system of doing bust
ness. He refers, of course. to corpora
tons whose stocks are offered indiscrimi-
nately to the public for buying and selling.
This is not new advice, but it is perfectly
in accord with good business sense, too,
for, as the secretary says, anything that
will promote the confidence of the invest
ing public is a good thing for business
Institutions" Throwing the books open
to men who have money to invest. letting
them see for themselves just what they
arc buying cannot help but increase con-
fidence in the enterprise.
The secretary is right in asserting that
the day has passed when scmipublic cor
porations, or the men conducting them,
may regard these interests as their own
personal property and withhold their
transactions from their stockholders. If
they are the private property OF the few
men in charge of them, then they had
better finance them on different lines.
1t will not do to invite public investment
and then tell the public it has no right to
an insight into the system of handling
these Investments omaha Bee

Danish Election Bribery, Says
the Governor

Declaring that the young man without
a dollar ought to have the same chance
in politics as the man with millions,
Governor Crothers recently came out
for sweeping amendments to the Corrupt
Practices Act:
81 am in favor of reducing campaign
expenses to the lowest possible limit, )"
said the Governor. II would amend
the Corrupt Practices Act, so that every
Young man without dollar can be
candidate on the same footing as the
rich man. | would cut out the allowing
of money to pay for runners on election
day. for conveyances for bringing voters
to the polls and for challengers. We
must amend the act, and hew and heW
until we get the use of money down to
the necessities. | would cut out allow
anCes for advertising IN newspapers, eX-
cept notices of meetings, and this adj
vertising should be done by committee
and not the candidate or friends OF
candidate. Allowing the candidates to
buy newspaper space gives the rich man
an unfair advantage"
Continuing the Governor said: "HoW
can you accomplish anything in govern
ment if you make people think 1t IS all
a question of money and not of public
policy. Lei us cut down the amount
that may lawfully be expended, and
when we do so we simplify the accounts.
The best simpfiication is by cutting out.
Let us destroy the power OF money 10
affect the course Of political events.
That which is right in general is
right fundamentally. Today there is
not a man who would arise in the Legis-
ature and ask for repeal of the Corrupt
Practices Act. The parties realize the
justice and wisdom of the law. but let
us make it stronger; SO strong that the
power of the dollar i'll the politics Of
Maryland may be absolutely destroyed.
Let the young man without money have
chance"

Playing the Game.

Having decided to go into politics, a
young man applied to district leader for
some points in the game. The boss

words and music.
"Know that" he asked
The young man confessed that he did
not, except the first two lines.
Then, said the district leader, "the
first thing you've got to do is to learn it
by heart, every word and every note. Go
home and practice TIL you can sing it
with as much voice and musical feeling as
you have. 1t will carry you over many a
strip of thin ice Every successful polit-
clan in the land has been saved from
defeat at some critical moment, by his
ability to sing THE Star spangled Ban
ner.' If the fellows who have failed had
known how to sing it maybe they wouldn't
have fallen with such a thud.

Air ships in War.

The vision Of aeroplanes and drigibes
abolshing war by their awful havoc
against the enemy's fleets, camps and
cities is badly dimmed by news item

heretofore expressed in these columns BY
the S'ajemen; That tests OF new projec-
tile TO BE- fired from al army rifle proved
its ability 10 cripple any airship that
comes within its range. The projectile
is small shell, which sets fire to balloons
and would iniure an aeroplane SO as to
couse its immediate fall
While the tests at Halensee are not
officially announced, it would be All asper-
sion on the inventive resources of military
science to hold that it cannot adapt hand
arms or the smaller pivot guns to the de
struction OF airships before they can reach
the point 800 feet in the perpendicular
from which they can begin to drop bombs
on their enemy. This is so selfevident
that it has been amazing TO find people
regarding the airship as an engine to
make offensive war so horrible that it
must be abolished. = PttS6Wgh Dis

Tax Board Favored by the Gov.
ernOr

Governor Crothers declares that Mary
land should have a State Board OF Tax
equalization aud review Most of the
States have such board but Maryland
has none. This was emphasized by Judge
Oscar Lesser Of the Appeal Tax Court in
his address ON Taxation" before the
Federated Couo'N Commissioners
Just now all The counties Of the State
are engaged in revauation of property
for the first time in years. Baltimore re-
assesses frequently, and the Appeal Tax
Court revises from time to time the court
being in session all the year lii the city
property is assessed at its full value, but
in the counties the assessments are usual
y much lower. For local purposes this
makes no real difference, but as Maryland
levies State tax it works injustice in the
payment of this latter levy.
Governor Crothers said he thought a
board Of equalization could be created
without great expense to the State, and
that the board might be composed of Off
Gals who at present have other duties.
Such board, he said. should be perma

The Political Complexion of the
Senate.

The situation in the Senate of the United
States quotes the Philadelphia Record
editorially in a recent issue becomes more
interesting in view of the important legis
lation of next Congress and of the politi-
cal conditions of the future. SO great is
the change from the Senate that passed
the Payne Aldrich bill as TO amount almost
to a political revolution. In the present
Congress are 50 Republican Senators and
"A Democrats, the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Elkins, of West Virginia,
having Just been filled by his son. The
next Senate will consist of 40 Republicans
and AZ Democrats, unless Arizona and
New Mexico should be admitted before
the adjournment.
But in this slender nominal Republican
majority there will be not less than IS or
10 Insurgents and near" Insurgents
The genuine Insurgents, for whom there
can be no compromise with the reaction
aries on the question of the tariff, will
number not less than eight when Senator
Lafayette Young, OF Iowa, is replaced by
a Progressive of the type of Senator Cum
Minis. Without counting such near" In
surgents as Borah. of Idaho; Bourne, of
Oregon, and Crawford and Gamble, of
South Dakota, the Progressives alone are
sufficient in number to completely effaCe
the regular Republican majority. There
are other Republicans not quite SO near
as those who have been mentioned-as
Burton. of Ohio; Briggs, of New Jersey,
and Smith, of Michigan-who have felt
the impress of the last election.
In this situation a complete reconstruC-
Senate will become an imperative pollti-
cal necessity, especially of the Committees
on Finance, Appropriations and Interstate
Commerce. 1t was an evil hour for Sena-
tor Penrose in the extra session of this
Congress when he staggered into an in
SUIT to Senator LaFollette. The distin-
guiShed Wisconsin insurgent would not

Trying it on the Dog.

John X. Tener, Governor elect of
Pennsylvania, dislikes automobiles. But
during the campaign he was compelled
as matter Of policy, to ride in them
frequently One trip he will probably
never forget.
With his campaign manager and two
newspaper men he was driven from
Gainesville across the hills and valleys to
West Chester, over roads that were any
thing but perfect. The driver and owner,
wealthy man of Gainesville, drove his
1911 model at furious pace around
curves which were seemingly at right
angles and over thank you marms'

distraction. Only one dog was killed,
and that was the poor beasts own fault.
At West Chester, after Mr. Tener had
recovered his breath, the driver asked:

said the Governor, diplomaticatly.

Eggs and the Cost of Living.

To one who can afford them, good
eggs are cheap at any price, but a close
investigation shows that much of the
extra money that the consumer paws to
avoid the risk of getting a bad egg for
his breakfast is simply the dealers
charge upon the consumers ignorance.
While investigating the subject for the
Department of Agriculture, | met
grocer in New York City, who confided
to me with some pride that he was buy
ing Iowa eggs for 20 cents per dozen.
and selling them under his private brand
name for 40 cents. The grocers across
the street were selling the same eggs at
rs cents per dozen. The extra IS cents
was pure graft made possible by the

that the Federal government cannot

the Constitution Of the United States.
Whether these acts be wise or unwise,
