Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
I'D conditions We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
d, ,e goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tons. The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller. which is backward
step, There should be no limit to a
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business, such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which

governor Of Massachusetts,, in the
Boston Herald
Prejudices against corporations

labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consm.
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law It Is
my opinion there should be depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do p. Interstate

The law should be made SO clear.
plain and definite that it could not be

Having Collapsed.

Hoquiam. Wash. Feb. 15.-The
town of Moclips Is being washed away
by the sea and the residents are help
less and panic-stricken. ...,
The summer hotel, containing 1926
rooms, one-half of which was washed
into the sea Monday, probably will
have to be abandoned, as large part
of the remaining wing is hanging over
the water and may fall with high
tide.
The sea wall has collapsed and the
ocean has cut away fmore than 100
feet of the land behind the wall and
is taking long strips five or ten feet
wide at every tide. Forward Brothers
iewelry store and the public school
building, together witch several cot,
tages, have been swept away.
AS the land was washed away from
under the schoolhouse the building
began to rock, which caused the bell
to ring, adding to the alarm of the
citizens. When the schoolhouse,
which was a pretentious frame build
ing, slipped into the sea. it bobbed
up like a cork and the bell still tolled
dismally. A few minutes later a
gigantic wave sent the structure
against the pling of the wrecked sea
wall and it disappeared like a house
of cards.
