THE MONEY TRUST
AND COOPERATION

Especial Correspondence 0f-The Argus.)
New York, Sept. 30.-After declar-
ing that industrial trusts feed the
money trust" Golfers for Sept. %,
in a. brilliant editorial, says:
mo other economic problem in
America is so important as the con-
troll which a few ffnanciers exercise
over capital. The control of capital is
to business what the control of the
water supply is to life. The greatest
economic menace today is the control
over our quick capital. by which all
big business is subject to the will of
a few men. Nothing has contributed
to much to the growth Of that finan-
cial power of the few as the advent of
the industrial trust. BY converting
large part of the capital of the coun-
try into negotiable bonds and stocks,
which are listed on the New York and
other stock exchanges, few men are
acquiring a strength which is almost
world compelling. The
change came with the creation of the
industrial trusts and the great consol-
idation of railroads. Today no really
large enterprise can be undertaken
without the consent of a few men
whose Offices are in or near Wall
street; and the price of this consent
is usually such as to further enhance
the power Of our money kings. This
great danger, which new party leaders
generally ignore, Governor Wilson ap-
: preciates. Long ago he said:
/ 1.-The great monopoly in this coun.
try is the money monopoly. So long
! as that exists our old variety and
freedom and individual energy of de.
velopment are out of the question. A
great industrial nation is controlled
by its system of credits. Our system
of credit is concentrated The growth
OF the nation, therefore, and all ouI
activities, are in the hands of a few
men, who, even if their action be hon
est and intended for the public inter
est, are necessarily concentrated upoI
the great undertakings in which theil
own money is involved, and who
necessarily, by reason of their owl
limitations, chill and check and de
stroy economic freedom. This is tn,
greatest question of ALL
"The financiers and their depend

the unconscionably large promoters
4 fees and underwriting commissions
but also through that other and dali,
tribute paid on stock exchange trans
actions. The legalizing of our large

would UNNECESSARILY increase tina
tribute. The effect of licens

WILSON LEADS IN
POSTAL CARD VOTE
Result of Canvass of Profess
sional Women's League in
New York.
Especial to The Argus.)


New York. Oct, 2.-Miss Allyn v.
Scherer. secretary OF the Professional
Womeh's Wilson and Marshall league.
Of which Miss Willette Kershaw is
president, has Just made public the
result of her post card canvass, which
she sent out to the women In the vari-
Gus political organizations asking
them what they considered the vital
issues of the campaign this fall. About
forty per cent of the answers stated
that the tariff was the paramount Is
sue; thirty per cent were of the opin-
ion that the laws enacted in New Jer-
sey under Governor Wilson's admins
tration relative to the employment of
women and children were of the most
Importance, many Of these women ex-
pressed the opinion that laws along
this line would become national In the
event OF Wilson's election.

Harvey Wiley. the former chief
chemist of the department Of agricul.
ture, has been the great exponent.
seem to come next.
Miss Scherer is laying special stress
on the latter subject and during the
next week will distribute pamphlets
calling attention to the utter lack of
the enforcement Of the pure food laws
under the former and present republi-
can administrations, quoting DR..
Wiley. Miss Scherer says:
Can We safely trust the campaign
Of public health to Mr.. Rooseveltf
l cannot believe that to be the proper
course. Mr.. Taft Inherited this ex-
ceedingly bad condition Of affairs from
his predecessor and has not only con-
tinued this illegal board, under whose
patronage adulterators are still poi.
soning the people, but he did verse.
In the matter of the adulteration OF
distilled beverages IN which Roosevelt
upheld the legally constituted authori.
ties, Mr.. Taft reversed that policy
an threw the mighty weight of the
executive office to the support of the
worst lot of adulterators that ever
disgraced country.
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Marshall by
their strenuous efforts In behalf of the
1000 laws OF their respective states,
have given positive promise to end
such threatening state of affairs.
They will support to the utmost the
officials under the law who are try.
ing to protect the public health and
will make short shift of those who
have brought about these present un,
bearable conditions.

IN the east continue to show pro

successful beyond all expectations.

OF the National Association Of Adver

to be given to Governor Wilson b.
