James ]. Hill On Corporation Pub
licity and Control.

James j. Hill, the Great Norther-
Northern Pacific railroad magnate,
sees in publicity of corporation mat
ters and Intelligent public control Of
the corporations themselves, long
step towards the solution of the pres
ent era of business stagnation.
"And the United States needs q
savior, says Mr.. Hill. 'The people
have demanded not only the best but
an improvement on the best, and
they will now have to pay according
ly. II they don't pay in money, they
must pay in prosperity. The business
Of the country increases Is per cent. !
every year: the facilities for handling
this new business increase only 1-6 OF
that. The difference in the ratio is
too great and balance must be
struck sometime else there will be
a complete breakdown of service or
prosperity.
"Why don t the facilities for hand
ling business increase more rapidly?
Because the men behind those facili-
ties are afraid to spend their money
for extensions and Improvements
Mr.. Hill has long been an exponent
of publicity of corporation affairs and
looks upon that as one of the means
Of bringing corporation and public to-
gether.
"The people are entitled to know
what the public service corporations
are doing and the conditions under
which they transact business he
says, II have believed in, and have
advocated, publicity Of corporation
reports for many years. When the
public becomes conversant with cor
poration affairs and is convinced that
1t is seeing from the inside, much Of
the feeling against the great business
concerns will pass away. That will
be one of the effects publicity"
In the matter Of public control Of
quasi-public concerns, Mr.. Hill is
firm advocate, but he wants that con-
troll to be Intelligent he wants only
trained men in the places of control.
"a corporation Is a piece of paper
state, he says. cts life is created
by the people and naturally the peo-
pie should have some word In making
the rules under which it transacts
business. That proposition is one l
have preached for years and now 1 am
glad to see it making headway among
common carrier corporations. Last
week President Nudge of the Rock
Island railroad declared for public
control of railroads; George M. Rey-
nolds, president Continental and Com
mercial National bank of Chicago did
the same thing the week before; T.
N. Vail, president American Tele-
phone and Telegraph recently made
an official report to his board Of direc-
tors in which he took firm stand for
both publicity and public control.
"But that control must be intelli-
gently administered. Public control
simply because It is a control by the
public, is not all. It must be intelli-
gent, as have always contended.
Intelligent people will ask and expect
nothing more. Vail, Reynolds and
the others are right In advocating
publicity and public control. Both
are things which eventually will 60
far towards making Z good feeling BE-
tween the corporations and the pe0-
pie, and will assist IN settling much
of the antagonism which now sosns
to prevail.

Reciprocity With Canada,

Reciprocity is the logical concl-
sion of the protectionist plank in the
republican platform Of 1905.
With this ringing affirmation OF
protection and reciprocity President
Taft throws the burden OF proof on
the opponents of reciprocity between
Canada and the United States.
Protection to American industries,
as the president declared at Spring
field, ILL.,, should impose tariff that
does not exceed the difference be-
tween the cost Of production in this
country and that abroad, but at the
same time elbows a fair profit to
American producers
The Spokesman-RevieW has editor
tally pointed out that the conditions
and costs Of production III Canada
and the United States are substan-
italy identical, and that the two coun-
tries have much the same require
ments, each people needing the other
as its customer.
Il naturally results from the re-
publican theory of protection and
from the practically mutual interests
OF the Canadians and the Americans
that their tariffs on each others pro.
ducts ought to stand on different has.
es from those occupied by their tar
ifs on German or French products.
Reciprocity between Canada and
the United States does not remove
protection from their products and in.
dustries. II removes the burdens
from their consumers that are laid
upon them by what President Taft
calls AN illogical. unnecessary and
useless tariff against Canada. 1t
will benefit the farmers along the Dor
der, as well as the other people of
each country, and stimulate every
branch of commerce between the two
peoples. -Spokesma Spokane

er of the house of representatives
speaking from the same platform. in
advocacy of a political measure they
both believe to be for the common
good, gives the lie to the allegation
that the country was bound helpless
in the shackles OF party slavery.
Whether the measure advocated by
President Taft and Speaker Clark is
wise or unwise is of comparatively
small importance when compared with
the fact they dared openly join in adj
vocating it, when it's wisdom. or ex-
pediency, is strongly denied by prom
inent leaders of both parties. Prob

A Fair Profit, No More.

One of the standard arguments
against so-called progressive legisla
ton looking to restriction of the
privileges of the vested interests IS
that such a policy retards the deyel-
opment of the country by discourag
ing the investment of capital.
"A country can not develop without
capital" is the statement often heard,
land it can not get capital unless the
capitalist is assured proper return
upon his investment"
This is true. No sensible person
denies that capital will not invest
unless it believes that it will receive
proper return upon that investment.
But where the difference of opinion
comes in is as to what constitutes
proper return.
Did the Wells Fargo Express com
pany, for example, receive proper
return upon an investment of $4,000
600 when at the end of the first year
its cash receipts were s24,OOO,0O0.
Did MI Rockefeller and Mrs. Car.
negie receive a proper return upon
their investments in the Standard Oil
and United States Steel companies,
which. in a decade, returned them
private fortunes which are the sensa-
ton and amazement of the civilized
world?
Is it right that the American peo-
pie should pay such prices for ex-
press, for oil and for steel that pro
fits on the actual investment should
vary from so to 500 per cent? Should
a system which imposes such a tax
upon the people be encouraged or
should it be regulated?
There is no fair-minded person,
whether progressive or conservation

CRIMINALS.

The history of the nineteenth
century is filled with the reforms
which were directed not merely
10 the IMPROVEMENT Of criminal
codes and the mitigation of pun
ishments for crime. but to the
better care of the insane. of pau
pers and of prisoners. who had
been treated in the eighteenth
century far worse than animals.
In some Of our states and in
many countries of Europe the
death penalty has been abolish
ed. even in cases of murder.
Before the era of reform there
was little or no public sympathy
with the criminal. Today we
seem almost to have reached the
point where the sympathy is so
strictly confined to the criminal
that there is none left for the
victim of the crime. The aboli-
ton of capital punishment docs
not appear to have brought
about the condition postulated
by Taleyrand. who when he
WAS urged to support the aholi-
ton If the death penalty. said
he certainly would if the muir
dercrs would begin by giving up
murder. Henry Cabot Lodge

understudies, Victor Safer and Jimmy

with the Cub regulars in the first of a
series of three exhibitions against the
Volunteers of this town, and the game
resulted to in favor of the National
league champions. Timely hitting with
one two-base swat by f. Schultz de-
serving especial mention. brought the
victory. while king Cole, leading
finger for the Cubs last season. breez-
ed through the contest without ex-
tending himself at any time.
The Cubs gave Cole a commanding
lead and he never was forced to pitch
except to get three men out in the
ninth inning after he had permitted
the bases to be filled. He escaped
with two runs in that frame and used
his speed and curve ball more than in
all the other innings combined. F.
Schultz pulled his corking two-base
drive against the right field hill and
in the sixth with three Cubs on the
bags and all came home, his wallop
assuring victory to Chicago.

WOlGAsI REFUSES TO
PREDICT LENGTH OF
LAGRAVE BATTLE
Declares Butchertown Lad
Is Tough Boy Who Will
Be Hard to Beat.

San Francisco. Cal, March 2S.-"How
long do l think it will take to defeat
Lagrave? Well, that is a proposition
do not care to speculate upon The
fight may go the full twenty rounds,
and again it may end before the half
way mark is reached. Legrave is a
sturdy. tough boy, and while / am con-
fident of victory, look to see him put
up a good fight"
Thus declared Ad wolgast, cham
pion lightweight pugilist of the world,
at the close of his days work at the
Seal Rock gymnasium.
There is one thing certain" he
continued, and that is that 1 will go
into the ring in just as good physical
condition as when I won the title from
Nelson. l am well below the 133-pound
notch right now and beyond a limited
amount of roadwork and sparring I
need nothing to put on the finishing
touches"
Wolgast did a good days work yes
terday. but it was nowhere near as
strenuous as that of Sunday. In the
morning he did a five-mile turn on the
road and in the afternoon spared six
rounds.
Lagrave has shown no signs of a
leiup III his daily routine at shannon s
place in San Rafael. The Butchertown
lad, according to the wise ones. is hav-
ing considerable trouble in getting
down to weight and there is some fear
that the strenuous process may weak
en- him.
Last night Lagrave jumped the
scales and balanced them at the 1863
pound mark. He declared later that
the scales We're out of balance and
weighed fully a pound and half too
much. Stakeholder Clark is not en-
tirely satisfied with this statement. and
viii visit Shannon's tomorrow and in
sist that Anton submit to a test on
regulation scales.
There Is little or no betting ON the
fight Wolgast followers willing
to give substantial odds. but up to date
no Lagrave money has been produced
