tiers of business?
What Can Be Done?

What Can Be Donep
W nat is the immediate situation
What. if anything, can We do about it?
Gigantic changes in the conditions sur
rounding business have been taking place.
They amount to a complete reversal of
old-fa shioned methods If We should wake
up some morning and find that the Rocky
mountains had been turned into pure
gold would not the first thought of every
student OF finance be What becomes of
our gold standard?' And yet such an up
heaval in the world of finance would be
scarcely greater than the upheayaI which
steam and electricity have brought in
the world of commerce
Il believe we must have some such
systems as the following:
group Of men in a given state have
a given business. BY their inventive ge-
MUS. executive ability and indomta BILE
courage they develop that business to a
point where they want to go into other
states and across the seas to push it,
They want to take in additional partners
and sell TO everybody everywhere In
order 70 do this they foresee that they
VIII need large capital-more than
they or their local friends can provide
They therefore have to go to the public
and ask them TO become shareholders
When this condition arises my belief is
that these men should go to our federal
government and at least lay bare their
plan. expose their capitalization, their
methods and their objects: that they
would submit to the government complete
statements as to the operations of their
business. SO that the government i'm turn
might say to the labor employed to
the consumer served and to the investor
that the statements these men are MAX
ing are complete and honest
Not State Socialism.
This does not mean state socialism: il
does not mean government ownership it
does not mean government management;
1t does not mean fixing prices: it does not
mean that the government would be run
nlnEa our industrial business; but it does
mean supervision and publicity similar to
thatS which Is now being required of our
banks and our railroads. 1t does mean
that some authority as big and broad as
the territory In which the said company
wants to operate will be in position to
say to the people In our Judgment this
is right or this is wrong In connec-
ton with securing suitable publicity and
supervision we could gradually make
laws. as We have with our railroads, that
would accurately define wrongs and in
nict proper punishment.
I'm short, a system by which publicity,
full, frank and complete, could be had
from the proper source, will of itself
eradicate a very large part of all our
trouble and at the same time preserve
for our people the enormous asset that
they have in the efficiency of these great
interstate and international agencies of
trade, that have been built up after such
struggle and in order to meet the con-
ditions brougt about by the great evolu-
ton that has taken place in the last
quarter of a century.
Why cannot we at least try to regu-
late before We actually strangulate.
1T is so difficult to build up; il is so
easy TO tear down.

Wiley Will Initiate Prosecutions.

1t will be seen by this arrangement
that all prosecutions hereafter will be
authorized by the pure food board. which
is practically Dr. Wiley. The Secretary
of Agriculture will, of course, transmit
the recommendations to the Department
OF Justice, but the order says nothing
about his passing on the question OF
whether or not the prosecution shall be
made. The same latitude is given the
reorganized pure food board in the selec-
ton OF expert witnesses and the fees to
be paid them.
Under the new arrangement the only
duty OF the solicitor in connection with
the pure food cases will be to technically
prepare them for prosecution after they
have been selected by DR.. Wiley and DR..
Dooiittle.

Socialists Favor Change.

The threatened attack upon the organic

socialists Of Washington, 1t IL announced.

which reads in part as follows:
1.-The go organized socialists of the
District of Columbia favor and are work
ing for the repeal of the organic law
which requires that the federal govern
ment shall pay one-half of the expenses
of the District. We hold that this law
benefits only the landlords and corpora

are higher than in any city OF this size.

Necessity for Expense Basis.

In the House, at that time, Representa-
tive Blackburn said during the debate:
There is one point more to which de-
sire to call the attention of the House: II
is the necessity of having some basis Of
expenditure fixed between the federal
treasury and the District treasury. How
can a property holder in the District Of
Columbia determine or gauge the value OF
his property today? Can he tell what tax
it will be subjected to as long as he is
left the victim of the whim and caprice
of Congress? The people of the District
have a right to demand that you fix
this question permanently and finally
The action of Congress, following this
debate. in passing the organic law OF 1878
providing that the federal government
should pay one-half of appropriations for
the District has always been considered
by the residents of the District as final
adjustment of this question.

SELECT VISITORS
FOR THE NORMAL

at Terre Haute.
BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETS
Action Is Taken 20 Exempt Kinder
sarten Teachers From Music and
Drawing Tests-class Size
Rules Are Revised.

Indianapols.-At a meeting OF the
state board OF education in the Office
of Charles A. Greathouse, state super
tendent of public instruction. c. w.
| Boucher. president OF the Marion Nor
NAL college; Edgar N Haskins, super
intendent OF schools OF Knox county,
and Dale j. Crittenberger OF Anderson
were appointed members OF the board
of official visitors for the Indiana State
Normal school at Terre Haute.
Action was taken by the board
whereby kindergarten teachers of the
state hereafter will not be compelled
10 pass examinations in music and
drawing TO obtain licenses. Various
members Of the board reported upon
different high schools they had visited
since the previous meeting. W. w.
Parsons nightly recommended the
high school at New Carlisle, in ST. Jo-
seph county. asserting that It was the
best township high school he ever had
visited. On the strength OF his recon-
mendation the board granted a new
commission to Howard Armstrong, SUI
perintendent OF schools at New Car
Isle. Other commissions were granted.
The board voted to change the rules
devised recently by a committee to
regulate requirements OF accredited
normal schools In the state. allowing
teachers In certain subjects TO have
as many as sixty members in a class
instead of forty. The rules placed be-
fore the board by the committee were
adopted.
Ii was agreed that hereafter the
state superintendent OF public instruc-
ton. when examining the qualifica-
lions Of teachers coming into Indiana
from other states for licenses, should
disregard the success grades given the
teachers by school officials OF other
states and give the teachers a success
grade in Indiana equal TO the average
scholarship grade shown by the enter
ing pedagogue.
This action was taken because Il
has been found that foreign school o.
ficials often are unreliable in marking
success grades OF teachers leaving
their employ. The board voted TO
have nine regular examinations for
teachers in the state each year and
assignments were made for the prep
aration of examination questions for
the year Of 1912 Adjournment was
taken until November 9.
George A. Mirick, present superin-
tendent OF schools Of indianapolis, met
with the board for the first time.
