CAMPAIGN LYING.

Every day the newspaper para
graphers grind out some new crack
on the Ananias club. Charges of
falsehood fill the headlines and put
ginger into the speeches.
Do all these charges of mendacity
signify that campaign lying is on the
increase?
To get at an answer let. us ask the
question what the voters think of
the typical slam-whanging partisan
speech that characterized the stump
oratory of former generation.
The typical political oratory to
which we have become accustomed
is purely that of the advocate, the
hired attorney. 1t is lawyers bus
mess to present only his clients case
If there is a hole in the argument, it
is not his business to show it to the
court and jury.
This has been the political contro-
versy of the past. There is no court
on the bench to call the liars down
Judging from the arm swingers and
platform stampers, all the good men
are on our side, all the bad men on
yours, and vice versa.
Few of our public men can be
caught in the squarely false state
ment. AS the horsemen say, they
know this is the quickest way to
get their tail in the crack"
The trouble is that the politician
becomes so aflame with the lust of
the game that he can no more see a
situation as a whole than base run
ner can tell judicially whether he
was put out at first.
This is an age of demand for bust
ness government. Our people are
sick of political speeches that are
full of half truths. They would like
the orator to treat them as bank
director would treat the stockholders
of the corporation.
They want facts rather than opin.
ions. They want facts that are Sc
lected with the spirit of the scien
tific investigator, not with the spiri
of the hired advocate. When fact
exist that seem to controvert th
theory of the speaker, they dom
want those facts ignored. They wan
them taken up, given all due weight
and the bigger facts brought on tina
controvert and overpower them.
Any other kind of speaking ma,
not be intentional falsehood, but i
won't win elections in the year 1912

THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT.

The remark was made by one of
the patriots of the Revolutionary
War, IF we don't hang together, we
shall all hang separately"
How true this is in the business
field.
The buyer of any commercial
house finds a great advantage in
making his purchases with some con-
tinuity and regularity. If he buys
first in one city and then in another,
no one gets interested to give him
any trade advantages, no one looks
out to see that he is well cared for
II he hangs" to no one, no one
hangs" to him, and as a mere drift
er he hangs" separately in business
life.
Precisely the same thing is true of
every family in the purchasing of
supplies for the same. If certain
supplies are bought by mail order,
Others on trips to some more or less
distant city, no one gets interested
in attending to that family's needs
If the family buys everything possi-
BILE of its home merchants, ii makes
business friends in its home stores
who will protect it from deceptions
and see that it gets it's moneys
worth.
The whole business life of city
like ours depends on the develop
ment of a community spirit. If a
feeling pervades our people that in
the long run we get the most
through the spirit of cooperating,
money will stay at home, and all our
enterprises will advance. If this
spirit does not prevail, all our enter
prises will languish.

suit against the Standard Oil and
Tobacco trusts-as the Interstate
Commerce Commission now deals
with rebates. 1t should have COM
plete power to make the capitaliza-
tlon absolutely honest and put a stop
to all stock watering Such super
vision over the issuance of corporate
securities would put a stop to ex-
ploitation of the people by dishonest
capitalists desiring to declare divi-
dends on watered securities, and
would open this kind of industrial
property to ownership by the people
at large. 1t should have free access
to the books of each corporation and
power to find out exactly how it
treats its employees, its rivals, and
the general public. 1t should have
power to compel the unsparing pub
licity of all the acts of any corpora
tion which goes wrong. The regu-
lation should be primarily under the
administrative branch of the govern
ment, and not by lawsuit. 1t should
prohibit and effectually punish mo-
nopoly achieved through wrong, and
also actual wrongs done by indus
trial corporations which are not mo-
nopolies, such as the artificial rails
ing of prices, the artificial restriction
on productivity, the elimination of
competition by unfair or predatory
practices, and the like; leaving in
dustrial organizations free within
the limits of fair and honest dealing
to promote through the inherent eff
ficiency of organization the power
of the United States as competitive
nation among nations, and the great
er abundance at home that will come
to our people from that power wisely
exercised. Any corporation volun-
tarily coming under the commission
should not be prosecuted under the
antitrust law as long as it obeys in
good faith the orders of the commits
sion. The commission would be able
to interpret in advance, to any hon
est man asking the Interpretation,
what he may do and what he may
not do in carrying on a legitimate
business. Any corporation not COM
ing under the commission should be
exposed to prosecution under the
antitrust law, and any corporation
violating the orders of the commits
sion should also at once become eX-
posed to such prosecution; and when
such a prosecution is successful, it
should be the duty of the commission
to see that the decree of the court is
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-09-09

put into effect completely and in
good faith, so that the combination
is absolutely broken up, and is not
to come together again, nor
the constituent parts thereof permit
ted to do business save under the
conditions laid down by the commits
sion. This last provision would pre-
vent the repetition of such gross
scandals as those attendant upon the
present administration prosecution
of the Standard Oil and the Tobacco
trusts. The supreme court of the
United States in condemning these
two trusts to dissolution used Ian
guage of unsparing severity concern
ing their actions. But the decree
was carried out in such manner as
to turn into a farce this bitter con-
demnation of the criminals by the
highest court in the country. Not
one particle of benefit to the COM
munity at large was gained; on the
contrary, the prices went up to con-
sumers, Independent competitors
were placed in greater jeopardy than
ever before, and the possessions OF
the wrong-doers greatly appreciated
in value. There never was a more
fragrant travesty of justice, never an
instance in which wealthy wrong
doers benefited more eonspicuously
by law which was supposed to be
aimed at them, and which undoubt-
edly would have brought about Sc
we're punishment of less wealthy
wrong-doers.

Judge Hanford from the federal
bench at Seattle, he has furnished it
himself, in explaining his resigna-
tion while that congressional fire
less cooker was doing it's duty.
"A personal controversy involving
a judge, his friends and his enc
mics" says Hanford. must neces-
sarily seriously impair his useful
ness as an incumbent of a judicial Of
fice''
The self-started, non-bucking
Cousin Bill Taft would at once say
of this, that a Judge has no friends
or enemies. This would be fine
theory, and dignified and not derog-
atory to the sanctity of the courts.
But it would not be fact. Judges are
but human beings, and not the vice
regents of the Almighty, as Taft,
perhaps, honestly believes.
1t being true that judges do have
friends and enemies, it follows that
it is right and sensible that the ma
jority see to it that judges friendly
to them are selected and that pro-
vision be made to recall judges who
prove to be inimical.
Judicially, Hanford is a dead duck,
but his last squawk is really a boost
for a cardinal progressive doctrine.

SENATOR CUMMINS SUPPORTS
ROOSEVELT.


Il shall vote for Roosevelt be-
cause l believe he desires to promote
the common welfare. Senator
Cummins.
Senator Cummins participated in
the great fight of 1903 to 1906, in
which fight Roosevelt ad the pro-
gressive senators and congressman
were pitted against the great trusts
of the country. He is thoroughly ia
miliar with every detail of that fight.
He is familiar with the fearless and
commendable attitude of President
Roosevelt through that fight. That
is one big reason why Senator Cum
Minis believed it the desire of Roose-
welt to promote the common welfare.
Senator Cummins in common with
many progressive office holders, who
are responsible to the regular repub-
lican organization for their position,
is loath to abandon the regular re-
publican state organization which
has proven itself progressive, and
follow the progressive party in a
fight for state control which will
result in much local friction and lit
tie good. And in doing that, Sen
ator Cummins but carries out the
wish of Roosevelt that where the
party organization is already in the
hands of the progressives, no state
tickets should be put in the field by
the new organizations. Mr.. Cum
Minis takes the broad and correct
view.
Governor Hadley has not yet
adopted this view because he shrinks
from destroying an organization, al
ready progressive, in the state of
Missouri, and from which he has
been the beneficiary of great honors.
He fails to grasp the broader plan
whereby he is justified in the sup
port of Roosevelt without abandon
ing the old organization in his state.
La Toilette, still unable to grasp
the truth of the impossibility of his
nomination against the Taft ma
chine, repines in the belief that the
candidacy of Roosevelt was RESPONSE
Bile for his defeat. Both Cummins
and La Toilette were in such rela-
tion with Roosevelt during the great
progressive fights in the senate that
both can but recognize the cour-
ageous, honest and successful fight
put up by Roosevelt against privi-
lege. The difference is simply this:
Cummins accepts Roosevelt as the
strongest and most logical candidate
with which to promote the common
welfare, while La Toilette still re-
sents his candidacy because he
thinks the candidacy of Roosevelt
unjustly resulted in his defeat fol
the nomination.
The people are more interested in
firmly establishing progressive prin-
ciples in administration than in any
individual ambition. The plan fol-
stopping trust abuses, as set dowr
by Roosevelt, is practical and will
prove effective, and they have NJ
doubt of the ability and disposition
of Roosevelt to accomplish the de
sired end.

WILL PROBE COST OF LIVING.
Portland Citizens Would Find What
Makes Beefsteak So High.

Portland, Ore.-At the last meet
ing of the special survey committee
of the Consumers League it was an
nounced that through the energies of
Major Henry C. Cabell $2,65O of the
required $4,000 necessary for sur
vey of the cost of living among wage
earning women and children in this
state had been collected and that the
remainder of the amount had been
pledged in small sums. The work
has been carried on six weeks, Major
Cabell making the canvass among
well-known philanthropic persons
who are interested in the establish
ment of minimum wage in Oregon.
The report of Miss Gleason, in
charge of the survey, showed that
conditions in many of the factories
and laundries, etc, were atrocious
both as to sanitation and wage,
pointing toward a direct relation to
the vice conditions revealed by the
commission. Schedules covering all
branches of work in which women
are employed will be secured by the
middle of October and the .informa-
tion thus gained will be used to back
the proposed bill adjusting the wage
to the cost of living,
Suggestions of various sorts were
given by members of the committee
regarding the nature of the proposed
bill and it was decided to query in
vestigators and social workers all
over the country the aim being to
avoid if possible the cumbersomeness
of the Massachusetts law which pro-
vides for minimum wage boards and
to attain something of the directness
of the Wisconsin plan which is car
ried on through expert and high sal
aried men of the industrial commits
sion.
