Results of the aeroplane scouting at
the French manoeuvres are agreed by
the military critics to have been ad-
mirable. The aviators showed audac-
ity, energy and accuracy of observa-
ton and yet the limitations Of air
scouting were never seen more clear
ly.
The aeroplane is bird of the day.
1t rises with the dawn and ceases to
fly with the twilight. During the
night troops are free to move without
eyes peering at them from above. The
aeropane is also a fair-weather bird,
very useful during clear fine days, but
obliged to seek shelter from high
winds, and whose eyes are dulled by
rain fog and cloud.

NOT PROGRESS, BUT REACTION

NOT PROGRESS, BUT REACTION
The Chicago Civic federation has ad-
dressed protest to the Cook county
republican committee against the in
corporation of a plank favoring the mi
tiative, referendum and recall in the
platform being prepared by that or
ganization, and urging the leaders to
declare against these measures in
their announcement. The full text
Of the protest, which presents strong
argument against these proposed re-
forms, was as follows: 1
1.-THE undersigned members of the
republican party respectfully urge that
in drafting progressive platform you
strictly refuse to indorse the initfa-
tive and referendum and recall, a
phrase under which fundamental and
socialistic departure from strong and
effective form Of popular government
is being put forward. 1t is not pro-
gress, but reaction, retrogression to
pure democracy, from which the auth
ors of our government turned, because
no pure democracy had long endured.
It is not constructive, but destructive,
and so far from restoring power to
the people, it will take power from
the people and vest it in self-consti-
tuted leaders over whom the people
have no control
"The initiative and referendum and
recall in it's common Interpretation
today represents a principle that is
wrong, and any Endorsement OF it for
the purpose of securing a little temper
airy popularity would be hypocritical.
The republican party has won its most
notable successes by standing for
right in the face Of temporary clamor
and securing the ultimate approval OF
the majority. fL
at can better afford even to go down
in defeat for one election than to
stand for anything so wholly in error
and so contrary to sound public policy
as the initiative and referendum and
recall" - 3D. r. .....

PERKINS, BUSINESS PLAN.

Interest has been drawn to the trust
question by the possibility of legisla.
ton after congress resumes it's labors
in January supplementing or amending
the Sherman antitrust act. The re-
cent hearings given fnanciers by a
senate committee brought out many
views on this question. One of the
men to give his views was George W.
Perkins, the former partner of j. P
Morgan, who has made close study
Of economics and especially the rela.
lions between capital and labor and
the producing corporations.
Mr.. Perkins suggested plan OF
making the antitrust laws more of.
fective. He divided his plan into two
parts, one to give Immediate" relief
and one prospective" relief. He stated
his views Of giving immediate relief
to the business ills Of the country as
follows: b.
First Create at once in the depart.
ment OF commerce and labor bust
ness court or controlling commission
composed largely Of experienced bust.
ness men.
second-Give this body power to
license corporations doing an inter
state or. international business. -
Third-Make such license depend
on the ability Of a corporation to com.
ply with conditions laid down by con-
gress when creating such commission
and with such regulations as may be
prescribed by the commission itself.
Fourth-Make publicity both before
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1911-12-30

and after license is issued, the essen
tlal feature OIL these rules and regula-
tons. Require each company to Sc
cure the approval of said commission
of all its affairs, from it's capitaliza-
ton to it's business practices. In the
beginning lay down only broad prin-
ciples, with view of celebrating and
perfecting them as conditions require.
Fifth-Make the violation of such
rules and regulations punishable by
individuals rather than by the revoca-
ton Of the license of the company,
adopting in this respect the method of
procedure against national banks in
case of wrong-doing.
That is the plan he offered for i'm
mediate relief. AS measure of pro-
spective relief he suggested:
First-The house and the senate to
join at once in appointing a commits
sion to make a careful study of the
Sherman law and the various sugges-
tons that have been made regarding
its repeal, amendment and amplifica-
ton.
Second--Said commission to study
and report on the wisdom and practi-
cability of a national incorporation
act.
Mr.. Perkins believes that the neces-
sity of securing the approval of the
commission for all it's affairs, lnclud-
ing capitalization, before securing a
license, coupled with the publicity fea-
ture for all phases Of the proceedings,
would bring the corporations under
effective government control. The
penalty clause. in which he proposes
that the men guilty of corporate
wrongs be imprisoned. instead Of the
companies being fined, he believes
would be another strengthening fea-
ture.

MAN DISAPPEARS

Charlton business circles came as a
great surprise to the community and
friends. A. e. Dorm who has been in
the clothing business here for sever
al years, and who has also conducted
q clothing store at Burlington the
past year has departed for parts un-
known, leaving his wife and daughter
here. The store has been closed by
his creditors, who will probably force
him into involuntary bankruptcy. 1t
is claimed that the assets will amount
to about $4,000, while his indebted
ness will reach nearly $4,000. Ac-
cording to the present outlook his
creditors will receive about fifty cents
on the dollar.

$4,000 TO CAUSE OF
WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE

Des Moines, Dec. 2s.-The woman
suffrage movement was materially
aided yesterday when the will of the
late Mary J. Coggeshall was flied for
probate here.
According to the provisions of the
will the national women's suffrage
association will receive $4,000 In cash
and the Iowa Equal Suffrage associa-
