discussed on the trip of the Mayiiow-

follows:
| find that conservative business men
look with favor on the candidacy of
President Taft for reelection because
they know he has been conscientious
and successful administrator OF the f.
nances of the government. Usually a
public official who imposes a check on
the increase OF expenditure finds that he
has performed a thankless task 1t Is not
a sufficiently spectacular stunt to lay
hold of the imagination.
The situation in the treasury with
which President Taft was confronted
was very different from that which con-
fronted Mr.. Roosevelt when he became
the President. Mr.. Roosevelt in 1902 as
sumed charge of government whose or
binary disbursements for that fiscal year
We're $47.19O,S57. The receipts for mat
year were ninety-one millions in excess
of the disbursements.
The aggregate of public expenditures
inreased steadily for several years under
Mr.. Roosevelt During the last year OF
bis administration the total of the cur
rent operating expenses had attained the
Unprecedented figure of $685. ,S24, 444, ana
during that year there was deneit of
| $5S 100000. Thus, by ignoring opportuni-
ties for effecting economies and introduce
| ing efficiency President Roosevelt had
permitted a surplus of 800, 600 in 1902 to
become deficit of s5s000,00o in 1909 and
during that period of seven years the
ordinary expenses of government had i'm
creased $1s1o0o,Ooo, or 40 per cent

Mr. TAFT might have looked with com

tad operations and defended an annual
Increase in Disbursements Of or per

himself to the task of setting a great

propose for dealing effectively with

administration, he said. that it was
praying Give us another dissolution.
Colonel Roosevelt added that Mr..
Wilson's proposal was to do exactly
| nothing By continuing in the same
course the Taft administration hal
pursued. The proposal of the third
party, he said was to put a stop 10
the continuance OF the Taft Wilson
program of further legalization of mo-
nopoly under the guise of a e-be
lieve assault on monopoly.
Colonel Roosevelt was in a renain-
iscent mood, Saturday. He thought
more about the old days on the Nal
tese Cross ranch than about politics.

Colonel Roosevelt made dozen
speeches, most of them being talks to
persons. who gathered at the settle
ments along the way. In his speeches
the colonel attacked the Amalgamat-

Tn his address before the Montana
Progressive State convention, the col
onel referred to the recent speech of
Woodrow Wilson. regarding the pro-
posal Of the Progressive party for an
Interstate Industrial Commission to
regulate large corporations and said:
A couple of days ago, Mr.. Wilson in
a speech in New York said that a
body of rnens would not have the wis
dom necessary to enable them TO reg
ulate the industrial progresses of the
Country. Y ftttt Is III ititft difbt uilS
in regulating the Standard Oil or the
Steel Corporation than in regulating
Il big railroad.
We have actually made the inter-
state commerce law work. We have
found by the test of actual work that
the way to control the railroads is
by increasing the power of the In
terstate Commerce Commission by
regulating and controlling those rail-
roads and not by any development
of the antitrust law.
What | want to see done with ours
industrial concerns is to see an In
terstate Industrial Commission and
Board which shall handle the Stand
ard OIL the Steel Trust, the Tobacco
Trust and every big trust through adj
ministrative action, just as the Inter-
state Commerce Commission handles
the railroads. and with a power ex-
tended beyond that of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

If he cannot find them, | will | VIII
