Helm the Poor Trusts.

The legalization of hib industrial
concerns instead of their dissolution
is recommended In report to be
submitted before the House by three
Republican members of the steel in
vestigating committee. The repor,
is signed by Representative Gardner
of Massachusetts, Representative
Young of Michigan and Representa-
tive Danforth of New York. Repre-
sentative Sterling. Democrat. of Hi
nois, who favors the dissolution of
the trusts, will submit separate
report.
The Republican report advocates
the creation of an Interstate COM
mission of industry with extensive
powers of regulation and with au-
thority to fix reasonable prices for
the output of corporations. The re-
port would require that all corpora
tions capitalized at s50,000,000 or
more operate under charter to be
issued by the United States before
engaging in interstate commerce.
Smaller corporations also may avail
themselves of the fedral charter. The
report also approved the so-called
Brandies bill, which would transfer
the burden of proof to defendant
corporations to show that they are
in reasonable restraint of trade
The proposition to require al
trusts with capital of $4,000, 00@
or more is not bad one. but the
plan to regulate, instead of dissolve

tion--it favors the trust. A trust

ing gained a foothold, or rather a
toehold, in Alexander county, may
be the means of breaking up the Re-
publican machine. which has domi
mated politics here for so many
years. If this should be the ulti-
mate result of Bull Moose organiza-
ton in Alexander county, we are in
favor of giving three cheers to the
Moose, and cast our votes for the
Democratic candidates. If all of the
intelligent Republicans and Demo-
Gratis would have gotten together in
previous years, Bull Moose party
in Alexander county would not be
necessarytto break up the machine.
However, the Bull Moose is here and
if 1t can poll enough votes to split
the Regular Republican ticket and
give the Democrats chance to
elect a few progressive and wide

willing to tolerate the invasion.

SOME OF TIE PROSPERITY.

4 few days ago Governor Wilson
very incautiously committed himself to
gross appeal TO class prejudice, in
saying that the business prosperity so
much talked about was oujoyed by the
men at the top and had not ''pcrco-
lated down. to the lower strata of the
people This was the worst possible
sort Of campaig gning; first Of all, IN be
ing distinct and contemptiblc appeal
TO class prejudice, and an expression of
Governor Wilson S subconscious habit
of thought to the effect that there are
higher and lower strata of society in
America, thing which no public man
ought 10 recognize. aud which the law
expressly discountenanccs; and second.
in being away wide of the facts. 1t is
clear ease that the moro Governor Will
son stays off the stump the better he
will be off.
Referring, however, to his idea that
prosperity had not percolated generally
among tho people, 1t is worth while to
note that the savings banks depositors
in this country Increased in tho ten
years from 1901 to 1911 from 6,35s,o0o
to 9,794,0 The number OF savings
banks increased from 1907 to 1884 in
l0ll. and the amounts of money de
posted in these savings banks increased
from the $2,597 100000 of 1901 to
Si.2l2 100000 in 1911. And the average
amount credited to each deposltor IN
creased from S40S to Sl30.
The members Of building and loan as
sociations now number 2,2l6,9l2.
The families who own their own
homes number 100000.
The number of hfe insurance policies
in force IN the United States is
29,9sS, ,5s2.
These arc but few of the conclusive
proofs that prosperity not only has
"pcrcolatcd to the lower classes as
Governor Wilson would have it, but
that it is pcrcolatipg there all the
time and has pcrcolated to such an cY-
tcut that the working people of the
United States have within their own
hands amounts of money undreamcd OF
elsewhere or held by laborers anywhere
or at any time elsewhere IN the world,
Besides the billions In the savings
banks, tho amounts held by lifo in
surance companies for the protection OF
policies amount to other billions, and
these billions arc very largely the prop
erty Of the average man Throughout the
United States; The laboring man. the
professional man. the man on salary
and the man who takes this means oi
providing for his funeral expenses and
something for his family to 60 upon in
