UNWARRANTED CRITICISM. -- There
has been much unwarranted criticism OF
the Commissioner Of Corporations Herbert
Knox smith, because he declined TO fur
nish the committee investigating the Steel
Trust all the information In his possession
regarding the operations Of the United
States Steel Corporation and certain Of its
subsidiaries. Much Of this criticism is, Of
course. purely partisan. Some, however, Is
sincere and arises from failure to under
stand or TO recall the law by which the
Bureau Of Corporations was esta blished.
The chief purpose in forming that bureau
was 10 provide machinery for obtaining
information for the guidance OF the Presi-
dent in recommending legislation. In order
that information Of a more comprehensive
character might be had the law provided
that all the data gathered by the Commits
sioner Of Corporations should be for the
exclusive information Of the President and
that only such should be made public as his
discretion dictated. Under the statutory
provision this information may not be fur
nished even to the Department Of Justice
for purposes of prosecution unless it IS of
character which may be furnished properly
10 the general public This provision was
incorporated in the law. as Il was believed
Il would facilitate greatly the gathering of
information which would be extremely use
full to the Chief Executive in recommending
general laws-information which could not
be obtained II ii were likely 10 he turned
over TO the Department of Justice for pur-
poses of prosecution. That department has
Its own force with which to gather infor-
nation on which 10 base prosecutions,
force wholly Independent of the Bureau OF
Corporations. When Commissioner Smith
appeared before the committee he had no
option but to abide by the law.

A SWEET JCNKET.-A According to COM

Of $500 on which 10 draw and a short

this money back into the Treasury. the mem
bers are contemplating a trip 20 California

calculated that by a proper disposition Of
its time the committee could manage TO

vice some method Of protecting the Treas

that II would be far cheaper TO bring any
witnesses required TO Washington than 10
transport the members Of the committee TO

light hits caused him to fail In his
brave effort to annex a fob. The
