TAFT STARTS CAMPAIGN.
In Fiery Speech He Raps the Insurgent
Movement.


Hamilton, Mass.-President Taft
began the presidential campaign of
1912 in a speech that breathed defiance
and condemned the "insurgent' re-
publicans and democrats combined to
revise. several schedules of the present
tariff at the special session of congress
just closed.
The president singles out Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin, Speaker Champ
Clark and Chairman Underwood of the
house ways and means committee as
leaders of the attempted revision, and
charged them with "playing politics"
Several times he referred by name
to Senator La Toilette, but mentioned
the other insurgent senators merely as
La Follette's associates"
Mr.. Taft indicated that he regarded
the proposed revision as injurious and
dangerous to business, but made it
plain that if the tariff board, in Deem
Der reported in favor of downward re-
vision of the cotton and wool schedules
he would recommend a reduction.
Standing on the broad terrace of Con-
gresham A.. P. Gardner's farm, with
Senator Lodge and other Massachusetts
representatives, the president seemed to
scent +he smoke of the coming battle.
Many of the 500 members of the Essex
County Republican club who gathered
to listen thought they heard the "key-
note" speech of the campaign coming,
and their cheers were loud and long.

Federal Control of Prices. .

The federal control of big business by
means of a body similar to the inter
state commerce commission, and
through it the ultimate regulation of
commodity prices, is advocated by At
torney General Wickersham, the man
who is the head of the legal depart
ment of the United States. Such a
commission, he says, would be the means
of keeping a firm hand on the trusts
and big combinations of producers,
whom he charges with setting the law
of supply and demand at naught and
fixing their own prices irrespective of
it, says st. Louis Interstate Grocer.
If such a commission would have the
same success in this work that the inter
state commission has had in
regulating railroad rates, it probably
would be a fine thing for the consumer
and retailer. 1t would really mean the
establishment of fixed prices which
would allow a fair and reasonable profit
to all food producers, manufacturers
and distributors. At present the most
economical method of food distribution
is in operation. The different co-opera
tive schemes depend for their success
upon uncertain qualities of human ma
ture, leaving the manufactures, jobbei
and retailer in command of the situa
ton, as they ought to be.
But the cost of doing business has in
creased to a point where it is absolutely
necessary for a halt. The demand Of
the public for package goods, for pure
food-to which it is entitled-and fol
extra service from the retailer-whicl
could well be abolished-is responsible,
for a great deal of this. Unscientifc
business methods also have to bear ;
share of the blame, together with un
fair profits made on some articles t.
make up for loss on others which ar,
sold at or below the cost to jobber anC
retailer.
Should such a commission be created
it would mean a complete change il
business methods. There would hav,
to be adjustments and readjustment,
before the danger of loss to the trade
would be averted. Many opposing fac
tors will nave to be reconciled. Ii
fact, the task would be an immense
one and one calling for care and bust
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1911-09-07

ness acumen to bring to a successful
conclusion.
Undoubtedly the commission would
have to confine its energies at the first,
at least, to the producers, and in the
class of producers comes the manufac-
turer. Data concerning the consump-
ton and manufacture of foods would
have to be gathered and compiled. This
would lead to a searching inquiry into
prices and profits of all concerned in
feeding the populace of this country,
and it would probably be years before
much Roadway would be made.
But anything that would put the re-
tail grocery business on a safer foot
ing than it is now; that would force the
merchants to reduce their cost of doing
business, would prevent price cutting,
premium giving and other throwing
away of profits, ought to be welcomed
by the trade. Whether, under Mr..
Wickersham's suggested plan, this
could be accomplished, would depend
upon the integrity and good sense of the
commission as well as the scope of its
authority.

Statesmen all over the country are
greatly interested in the forthcoming
Public Lands Convention to be held
in Denver the 2sth, goth, 3Oth of Sep
TENDER. While the convention was call
ed by Governor Shafroth of Colorado by
order of the state legislature, this fact
gives the affair no political significance
from a party standpoint but both parties
are greatly interested in the fact that
the prominent men of the West of all
political parties will get together at
this meeting to discuss matters of in.
terest to the West and incidentally will
be developed the fact that if the men of
the West stand together without regard
to political party they have the balance
of power in Congress and can accom-
plish almost anything. The convention
will be held in the big auditorium in
Denver and it is predicted that there
will be fully 5000 delegates in attend
ance.
