Washington. April The creation
of a federal administrative office to
supervise the interstate Industrial
corporations, is strongly urged by
Herbert Knox smith. commissioner of
corporations. in his annual report
made public today.
Mr.. Smith maintains that II is i'm
possible TO enforce effectively any real
system of restraint upon business
through the courts alone. because Of
the vast complexity of corporate in
terestS and the constantly changing
business conditions.
As convincing object lesson on
the need OF such an administrative
system the commissioner of corpora
tions points to the disintegrated
Standard oil and American Tobacco
companies. The purpose of these dis
solutions was broad reform i'm econ

clares. the country has no effective

The German was so cOrpulent that
he attracted general attention as he

as he had adjusted himself to his

POYERrY. RENr ANp DRINK.

From the New York World.
An investigation made by the As
ISOLATION for Improving the Condition
of the Poor. into the circumstances
of $3.50 dependent families, discloses
that in 40 per cent. of the cases the
dependence is due to sickness, in 81
per cent TO unemployment and in
only per cent to intemperance. The
report is striking because so many
reformers and so many students Of
poverty and of crime insist that the
larger part of poverty and nearly all
of crime are due 10 the cause here
held responsible for so small a per-
centage.
One of the chief burdens of life for
the poor in this city is rent. The
calculation of experts on sociological
subjects is that not more than 20 per
cent of income should be spent for
that purpose, but IL appears that to
obtain fairly good living quarters in
New York the average worker has
to pay about SO per cent. of his in
come. This condition of affairs i'm
pels the poor to overcrowd their tene-
ments and as a consequence they
violate sanitary laws and suffer
through sickness more than they gain
by the economy on rent.
