Lack of Funds
Delays Prosecutions

Federal office holders in the South,
accused of undue political activity in
the recent primary. In violation of the
Civil Service rules. have gained tenn
porary immunity from investigation be-
cause of the failure of Congress to pas
the executive. legislative, and judicial
appropriations bill.
According to the statement of Chair
man Black, of the Commission, that
cases case because OF the lack OF funds.
The Commission is ready to begin it's
investigation. but can do nothing until
Congress makes the necessary appro-
priation for the work.
II will probably be several weeks at
least before the probe of the alleged
political activity is started. In the
meantime the alleged culprits have
nothing to fear. .

Believes DEGREES
Work New Era.

Nv belief is that these DEGREES mark
the beginning of new era in indus
trial development; that what the great
corporations of the country now desire
is not what they manifestly did twenty
years ago, to wit. to obtain a monopoly
in each business, but 1t Is to maintain
a large enough plant to secure the
greatest economy in production on the
one hand and to avoid the danger of the
threats of prosecution and disturbance
of their business on the other. II Will
be the work of the highest statesman
ship to secure these ends, and the Re-
publican party. II given the power, will
accomplish 1t.
I have thus outlined, Mr.. Root and
gentlemen, what consider to be the
chief issues Of this campaign. There
are others of Importance. but time does
not permit me to discuss them. In ac-
| cordance with the usual custom I re-
serve the opportunity to supplement
these remarks In letter to be address,
ed to you at a later date when the
alignments of the campaign may re-
quire further discussion.
For the present 1t Is sufficient for me

education of q three-months' campaign,
during which they will be able to see
through the fog of Misrepresentation
nd demagoguery, will fail to recognize
that the two great Issues which are
here represented to them are, first:
whether we shall retain, on a sound and
permanent basis, our national constitu-
tional form of Government, with the in
dependence Of the judiciary as neces-
sary key to the preservation of those
liberties that are the Inheritance OF
200 years. and, second, whether we
shall welcome prosperity which is just

couragement of business expansion and
progress through legitimate use OF cap

New Constructive
Legislation Needed.

1t would aid the business public II
specific acts OF unfair trade which char
acterize the establishment of unlawful
monopolies should be denounced as mis-
demeanors for the purpose, first, OF
making palmer to the public what must
be avoided, and, second, for the pur-
pose of Furnishing such acts by sum-
mary procedure without the necessity
for the formidable array Of witnesses
and the lengthy trials essential to es-
tablish a general conspiracy under the
present act. But there is great need
for other constructive legislation Of a
helpful kind.
Combination of capital in great enter
prises should be encouraged, II within
the law, for everyone must recognize
that progress in modern business Is by
effective combination OF the means OF
production to the point Of greatest
economy. II should be our purpose,
therefore. to put large interstate busi-
ness enterprises acting within the law
on a basis Of security by offering them
a Federal corporation law under which
they may voluntarily incorporate.
Such an act Is not an easy one to
draw In detail. but it's general outlines
are clearly defined by the two objects
Of such a law. One is TO secure for the

High Living Cost
And Payne Bill.

The statement has been widely circu-
lated and has received considerable
support from political opponents, that
the tariff act Of 1909 Is a prominent
factor in creating the high cost of liv-
ing. This is not true. A careful in
vestigation will show that the phe-
nomenon of increased prices and cost Of
living is worldwide in Its extent and
quite as much in evidence in other
countries Of advanced civilization and
progressive tendencies as in our own.
Bitter complaints Of the burden of in
creased prices and cost of living have
been made not only in this country,
but even In countries of Asia and
Africa. Disorder and even riots. have
occurred in several European cities be-
cause of the unprecedented cost OF food
products. In our own country, changes
have been manifested without regard
to lower or higher duties in the tariff
act OF 1909. Indeed. the most notable
increase In prices has been In the ca Sc
Of products where no duties are i'm
posed, and in some instances In which
they were diminished or removed by
the recent tariff act.
1t Is difficult to understand how any
legislation or promise in a political plat
form can remedy this universal condi-
tion. ! have recommended the crea.
ton of a commission to study this
subject and to report upon all possible
methods for alleviatfng the hardship of

which are the practically universal
movement from the country to the
city and the increased supply of gold
have been the most potent factors In
causing high prices. These facts every
careful student Of the situation must
