Don't Mention NV Name"


When pinned down members who had
participated in conferences which de-
veloped the idea hastily Joined the
Don't Mention My Name club.
Those who started the movement
abandoned their efforts to obtain the
participation of the regular republicans
in 1t, and It was clearly apparent that
there was little support Forthcoming
from that direction. only one OF the
participants in the informal conference,
Representative Rollin Reese, Kansas.
publicly admitted his share In the pro-
eeedings.
He made the following statement:
MY scheme was to appeal to Presi-
dent Taft's patriotism and well known
love for party solidarity To be sue
cessful my petition would necessarily
have TO be presented to him by those
who we're his political advisors at the
time he sought the nomination. | had
no thought that my own views or that
of other progressive members would
make much impression on him, but 1t
seemed to me ttat If those who really
have his welfare at heart would urge
the views upon him that / tried TO set
out In the petition. he would take the
step sug gested or devise some other
plan that would relieve the party from
its present embarrassment. | did not
intend that the press should get hold of
this scheme until / had a fair oppor
tunity to try 1t out. but since 1t has
become known | prefer that correct
version be given. | had not proceeded
far enough to solicit any signatures,
but had submitted the plan to several
colleagues for their suggestions"
The heading of Mr.. Reese's petition
ignored the charges of fraudulence
against President Taft freely made by
the supporters of Colonel Roosevelt. 1t
proceeded on new tack by asserting
that whether the charges were false
or true they nevertheless would have
an effect in the election and in the
minds of progressive republicans, they
would result In the defeat of the re-
publican ticket.
The petition of Mr.. Reese has not
been adopted by the insurgents. While
some of them were of the opinion today
that premature publicity had killed the
scheme, others thought differently, and
all concluded 1t would be best to hold
another conference when more insurg-
ent leaders are in Washington.
Not one of the parties to the con-
ference had any direct word from Sena-
tor Dixon, Mr.. Roosevelts campaign
manager, as to his attitude. In the abb
sence of word from him the insurgents

Through the efforts of the Knox
esunty commissioners and County
Auditor Irwin Young, the state high
way department has consented to do
same experimental work on the road
leading from the Coshocton road to
the Ohio State Sanatorium. The
road will be constructed of dirt and

We state highway department will
eadeavor to show that good results
can be obtained from dirt roads.
The State highway department has
instructed County Surveyor Wolfe
10 survey the road at once and it is
the expectation to commence the
work within short time. The work
will be done by contract and the state
OF Ohio will pay all the expenses.
The state board of administration,
having under its jurisdiction the Ohio
State Sanatorium, first called the at
tention of the county commissioners
70 the fact that the road was almost
impassable in the winter time and
the early spring and suggested that
the matter be taken up with the state
highway department. Accordingly
the commissioners and County Audi
tor Young made trip to Columbus
and after a conference the state high
way department announced that an
experimental road would be con-
structed.
1t is the expectation that the road
will be the very best of its kind in

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST.

= Louis d. Brandeis in ColHer's1
Leaders of the new third term) party
argue that Industrial 1nonopolies should
be legalized lest we lose the efficiency
of large scale production and distribu-
ton. No argument could be@more mis-
leading A..
1t may be safely asserted that in
America there is, no line of business In
which all or most concerns or plants
must be concentrated in order to at
tain the size Of greatest efficiency, for,
while business may be too small to
be efficient, efficiency does not grow in
definitely with increasing size. What
the most efficient size is can be learned
definitely only by experience. The
unit or greatest efficiency is reached
when the disadvanta ges' Of size cOun-
terbalance the advantages. The unit
of greatest efficiency is exceeded when
the disadvantages of size outweigh the
advantages. The history of American
trusts makes this clear. That history
shows: .->=
Ftrst.-NO conspicuous American trust
owes it's existence to the desire for in
creased efficiency. Expected econo-
mics from combination" figure largely
in promoters prospectuses, bot they
have never been q compelling motive
In the formation of any trust. On the
contrary, the purpose Of combining has
often been to curb efficiency or even to
preserve fnefficiency, thus frustrating
the natural law of survival of the fit
test.
Second.-No conspicuously profitable
trust owes its profits largely to supe-
rior efficiency. Some trusts have been
very efficient, as have some independ-
ent concerns, but conspicuous profits
have been secured mainly through con-
troll of the market, through the power
of monopoly to fix prices, through this
exercise Of the taxing power.
Third.-No conspicuous trust has been
efficient enough to maintain long as
against the independents its proportion
OF the business of the country without
continuing to buy up from time to
time It's successful competitors
