IRELAND
How the State Has Aided Land Purchase In
 Ireland

For many years the Irish Land Question has been one of the most difficult economic problems in the United Kingdom and a long series of laws has bee npassed in the effort to solve it. A temporary solution was found in the creation of what has been termed dual ownership the tenant having been given security of tenure, the power Of selling his in terest in his holding. and the right to have a fair rent fixed by an inde- pendent tribunal known as the Land Commission.
 Side by side with this solution, however, facilities were provided for enabling the tenant farmers to pur- chase their holdings and in recent years these facilities have been great ly extended with view to the gen eral conversion of the Irish tenant farmers into psaSa t-proprietors.
 The provisions contained in the various Land Acts for making ad- vanceS of State-money to tenants de- sirous of purchasing their holdings form the subject of an article which appeared in the OctobeH number of the Bulletin of Economic and Social

comprises pleasure cars on'y, and is exclusive of commercial vehicles, tax icabs, motor busses and motor cycles; the returns, too, are the only abso- lutely correct ones In the world, for they are based on the number of cars having actually paid the taxation fees during the year, and do not take ac- count of cars temporarily out of ser vice, manufacturers stock or dealers and demonstration models.
 In Chicago and New York trucks of all capaci les are cut down in ethcten- cy because of street congestion. Tn some of the narrow streets the horse wagons, and motor trucks also. back up to the loading platforms and when in this position the street is blocked on.y for a narrow alley up the center and if a vehicle is standing on the Op- posite side of the street 1t may be I'm possible for a big truck to get a right of way at all. The solution may de- mand the introduction of side loading vehicles, thereby leaving the street in trafdcable condition. The efn- ciency of trucks to-day would be much hkgher were this question solved

able restraints under cover of patent rights, copyrights, and trade marks. A patent is a public utility, and the owner should be required by law to develop 1t fully himself or permit its use by the public on reasonable terms prescribed by the commission. as is done in Germany under the new pat ene laws
 MONOPOLY OF NATURAL RE-
 SOURCES.
 Another thing that needs attention before we consent to 1egalizing monop- oly, is the locking up of natural re- sources for the sake of keeping out competitors. The Bureau. of Corpora tions shows that the power of the Steel trust is it's control of iron ore de- positS. It is this control of raw ma terial that gives to the corporation it's club over competitors, and. the enor- nous value of it's watered stock. Where natural resources are limited. the supreme power of a government raw material a free field for competf- ton.
 BANKING MONOPOLY.
 The greatest menace to competition at the present time is the control of credit and the concentra ton Of money in the hands of those who control the trusts Elasticity in our currency IS imperative and must be secured, but any plan to secure it. like that Of the proposed National Reserve Associa- L1OQ, WHICH puts GO11LEO4 HI bAG Lni0S of the banks and moneyed interests. will strengthen the power of the trusts to get capital, and to keep competitors from getting it Any such plan must be controlled by the people It is the peoples money that is expected to give security to any plan, and the peo- pIe's money must not be controlled by those who, on the plea of elasticity. will be able to use it to kill competi> tors of the trusts.
 The foregoing Is but mere sketch of the enormous field of unfair com petition and shows how much remains to be done and learned before the Government starts on the unknown field of regulat ating prices or licensing and incorporating combinations. The people demand freedom from re- straints, and from the monopoly val ues that have been built up on re- something that perpetuates and mo- nopolizes under the plea of making business safe
 The kind of legislation here pro- posed is not an experiment. It has been tried out in Wisconsin for six years in the regulation of railroads and public utilities. Fsour-fifths of the complaints made against the cor poratio are settled informally with the existence of a commission, with full knowledge of physical values and costs. and ready to take prompt ac- tfon is enough to abolish abuses In that case it was necessary to give to the commission power to regulate rates. because the law recognized that public utilities were natural monopo- lies. and no relief could be expected from competition.

ply to labor organizations, and it is mistaken judicial construction that has made 1t so apply. The law should be amended, so as to get back to it's orig inal intent by taking out from under it's operation all labor organizations and all employers associa tions. These are combinations which do not regu- they regulate the wages and condi- tionS of labor.
 The people are just as much inter ested in having a high standard Of living for labor, as they are in hay ing low cost of living in their pur- chase of commodities. Labor is at tremendous disadvantage in bargain ing unless organized, and even when organized it is at a disadvantage In the face of capital which is much more amended so as to exclude entirely from it's prohibitions the collective bar gaining of labor unions and employ CTS. It should affirm positively that, cerned, an act which would not be criminal in any individual shall not be criminal if committed by an asso- ciationof individuals. The Wisconsin delegation at the Republican nation- al convention in 1868, submitted a plank for the platform, aimed in this direc- ton, but it was rejected The decis- ions of the courts since that time have made it necessary to go still further and to deal with labor organizations regulate wages. entirely different from the methods that are necessary in dealing with capitalistic organiza- tions that regulate prices. A commits should have no jurisdiction over trade unions and employers associations. They should be separately dealt with, as provided in the Republican plat

Bloomington H.. Jan. 6-Senator LaFollette speaking in the Opera House, here, yesterday, discussed the sherman law, the tariff and trust question. patent monopoly, monopoly of natural resources and money trust. He spoke in part as follows:
 There is one class of so-called re- straints of trade that was not intend ed, or at least not understood, to come under the prohibitions of the Sherman antitrust law. These are la bor organiza tions. It is a curious fact about the enforcement of the law that, while the courts have carefully pro- tected investors in trusts against loss of values, the only instance where the extreme penalty of threefold damages has been imposed is in the case of a to the extent of seizing upon the saw ings of members of a labor organiza- tion and has ordered that these little investments should be paid over, as ployers three times the damages that the union had caused to them. Ger tainly 1t is very strange that when the court goes to it's furthest limit in i'm posing. penalties on combinations of capital, all of the capitalist owners get away with the full value of their property, even though the court ex- plcitly says that the biggest ones committed crimes in getting it; but when the court goes to the same limit tions of labor, it takes away the homes md small savings of the guilty mem bers. A law which treats investors as innocent If they form a trust. and guilty if they form a labor union, does not command the respect. nor appeal to the sense of justice. of the Ameri- can people. The fact is the law was not understood by the people to ap-
