TRUSTS AND TARIFF.
Topics Chiefly Interesting
American People Today.

10 the EOltOr or Inc star:
The two questions which are uppermost
in the peoples minds are the trusts and
the tariff. With the high cost Of living
these questions gain in Importance. as
prices for all sorts of necesSaries of life
go on their upward course. There is no
doubt. to my mind, that trusts, II proper
ly handled and controlled, are a benefit
to the people, because, by concentration
of capital and administration. expenses
are reduced to a minimum. The benefit
of this reduction should partly go to the
people. Experience. though. has shown
us that In many cases the public has
not been cared for by the trusts as 1t
should have been. We are. therefore, in
great need of trust commission, whose
duty it must be to regulate them. This
commission must see that prices are rea-
sOnable and must guard against over
capitalization. II should have the same
power and authority over trusts as the
interstate commerce commission has over
railroads. This commission fixes and
regulates prices by allowing the railroads
a reasonable return on investments
When first this commission was created
the railroads considered 1t their down.
fall, but time has proved that this super
vision has been to their advantage, for.
in place of a fierce and destructive COM
petition, it has substituted prices profit
able to them as well as to the public.
Remember the great havoc played by the
destructive competition among the rail-
roads some years ago, with bankruptcy
the unfaiing result? An understanding
as regards prices. which a trust COM
mission must undertake to examine and
regulate. is in my opinion a remedy for
this evil When this shall have been ac-
complshed trusts will no longer be
menace but benefit to the people.
Would the steel trade be In such pros
porous condition as it now is had the
different companies fought one another
for the past number of years? All the
smaller companies would have had to 60
into bankruptcy. with the strongest COM
panies the survivors. We should. there
fore have a regulation Of trusts at the
earliest possible moment. A constructive
policy. but not a destructive one. The
tariff should also be reasonably reduced
i'm order to make living cheaper. Reason
ably reduced, as d radical scaling is in
advisable, because 1t would tend to have
Europe unload merchandise on us which
should be bought from our manufacture
ers. This would also play havoc with
the wages OF our work1nen. Whatever
loss the government would have could
be more than made up by the proposed
income tax. This tax would help shift
the burden from the poorer class Of peo-
pie to the rich, who can afford to pay.

Educational system

Our educational system turns out men

aloud for a people which sees honor in
labor and does not see disgrace in CAL
Iouses.'
So declared G. Grosvenor Dave. edito.

United States. in an address delivered
before the educational department of the

perity. and his lecture formed the eighth
of a series of twelve which he is giving
on various aspects of the nations bust
ness
If this general desire TO get away from
honest toll is to be checked he contin-
ued, 1T can be done SO only by chang
ing the educational system. At present
TINS system is producing a type unready
to Srapple with life. Only about :; per
cent of our school population ever goes
to college or university. But the educa-
tlonal machine is planned to take the
child on from one grade to another: in
other words, it is planned for the ben
