FEARS ULTRA-C0NTR0L


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Charles
Nagel, secretary Of commerce and la
Dor, would sharply decline and restrict
the powers and discretion of the pro-
posed federal commission to regulate
industrial corporations. In his an
nual report to President Taft the sec
retary opposes the endowment Of such
a commission. II finally created by
Congress. with far reaching powers
equal to those exercised by the Inter-
state Commerce commission over rail-
roads. He disapproves the suggestion
that the commission have authority
to fix prices of commodities.
Epitomizing his doctrine for gov
ernmental supervision of business, Mr..
Nagel says:
Instead Of pressing federal regu-
lation as far as possible. the real
desideratum In legislation affecting
the country's business should be to
preserve to the greatest extent con-
sistent with the public welfare, the
element of self regulation. The ef-
fort should be to lay down principles
of conduct sufficiently specific to inn
pose desired restraints, at the same
time leaving a wide field for individ-
ual achievement"
If such trade commission is well
defined, the secretary says, ''it may
serve the general purpose Of giving
large Industrial and commercial con-
Germs much needed federal authority
and control. 1t is possible by lodging
in the commission we'll defined dis
erection that an intelligent purpose
may be served. But the obvious dang
er is that such a commission, once
created, will soon be vested with fur.
ther powers. The disposition will un.
doubtedly be to give it authority to
fix prices and conditions of operation,
similar to that which the interstate
commerce commission now exercises
with respect to railroads and their
rates. In other words, there Is
strong tendency to disregard the fun
...menta; distinction between pub.
lie carrier and private enterprise"

THINK LAWRENCE
AND MORSE LIKELY
Republican Politicians Figuring
on Probable Commission
Appointees.

Through with their vain arguments
as to the non-partisan character of
certain state commissions the Repub-
lican politicians of the state. now in
the minority for the first time in years,
are beginning to scratch their heads
and figure what they can get and who
will get it.
Frank Morse, assistant state land
commissioner, is figured by the wise
ones in Republican politics as the
most likely candidate for appoint
ment by Governor-elect Ernest Lister
to place on the State Board Of Con-
troll as the minority member.
II he will take it, and most politi-
clans believe he will. John c. Law
renee is expected to be put back on the
Public Service Commission, and there
is well defined hunch among Dem
ocratic leaders that room on the boarr'
will be found for M. M. Goldman, Of
Seattle. Lawrence is being boosted
for the place by his Whitman county
friends.
That Charles R. Case, president of
the State Federation of Labor, also
will have job is generally believed,
and George w. Ryan, former secretary
of the Democratic state committee
could have one II he wanted it. But
Ryan is anxious to serve as United
States marshal, and will not bother
the new administration over payroll
questions.
1t is taken for granted by practical
ly all politicians that Governor-elect
Lister will adhere to his plan of with
holding practically all his appoint
ments until the adjournment of the
legislature. But that Lister has been
deciding on number of his appoint
ees seems to be believed in Democratic
circles. 1t Is known in circles close
to Lister that a few choice plums al
ready have been promised.

18TH WILSON'S LUCKY STAR

NEW YORK, January 3.-Woodrow
Wilson, president-elect of the United
States. is superstitious about the 18th,
but in contrary manner. The num-
ber 13 has been woven in all fortunate
circumstances Of his life. He was
thirteen years professor at Princeton.
Then he became its thirteenth presi-
dent. There are thirteen letters In
his name, and thirteen in the name of
William J. Bryan, who more than any
other man helped to bring about Will
sons nomination at Baltimore. Will
son never hesitates to take room 13 on
the thirteenth floor Of a hotel, or seat
13 in a parlor car.

MANY FREAK BILLS
FOR 18TH SESSION
State Matrimonial Bureau Among
Hobbies Legislators Must
Pass On.

Members Of the 18th session of the
state legislature which convenes Jan
uary Is. 1913, will think before the
ssssien is over that there is something
un1ucky about the number 13, II the
freak bills which are peeping out from
under cover in all parts of the state
ever get up enough nerve to mesnder
to the state house this coming winter,
says the Tacoma Tribune.
To start with, a Seattle man will
carry down to Olympia this winter a
bill providing for a state matrimonial
bureau. When this measure hits the
house. with two suffraget members
holding forth there, 1t will very likely
be forced out onto the floor. Then the
trouble will start for the unlucky male
members of the house. Every old
maid in the state who is a reader of
matrimonial journals and a subscriber
to matrimonial bureaus, and there are
scores of them, will be watching that
bill with an eager eye. Woe betide
the unlucky man who raises a voice
against it.
On top Of this bill to prohibit
automobiles geared to drive faster
than 80 miles an hour is due to make
appearances. This means that q strong
automobile mems lobby will spring
into existence at once and the un-
lucky members whose constituents
are wanting that bill. will be wearing
out the carpets on the back stairs
and sleeping in the woodsheds of the
outlying farmhouses to escape the
buttonholers.
Then an old time member Of the
senate who, years ago, lost all of his
hair is coming prepared-and he
says he is in earnest-just to give the
two women members of the house
something to be kept busy onto In
troduce bill which will prohibit the
sale of rats" "curls" and Switches"
in any store in the state. This bill
will raise storm of protest from
every nook and Granny in the state.
The bill will be introduced and there
are just enough practical jokers in
every legislative body to start the
measure to its third reading.
Another measure will call for san
itary paper towels in every public
building, schoolhouse and gathering
place in the state where towels are
furnished for the public. This meas
ure will raise another howl which
will be heard from Walla Walla to
Clallam and Stevens to Pacific coun-
ties. 1t will find many supporters and
will cause a hard fight.
A bill to make it mandatory upon
school children to salute by a pre-
scribed method, the American flag,
will make it's appearance. This meas
ure will, strange as 1t may seem,
find much opposition at Olympia,
This opposition will come from unex-
pected quarters. 1t will be interest
ing to watch it.
Just a few of the sO-called freak"
measures have been mentioned. There
are scores of others and the 18th
session will go down in history under
present indications are al un,uchv one
