Exceptional Problems

Undoubtedly there are industries out
side the field of railroad transportation
and other public service enterprises where
the competitive principle is not entirely
applicable, but these instances present ex-
ccptional problems to be dealt with on
their individual merits.
"One fact seems obvious: The oppor-
tunity for regulating monopoly cannot be
lost by attempts to maintain the conf
petitive principle. If, on the other hand
the experiment first be tried of regulating
monopoly there is grave danger that COM
petition may be destroyed to an extent
which would make its restoration exceed
ingly difficult. Certainly 1t seems the part
of wisdom, Just as the competitive prln-
oipo has been sustained and vital or
der5 issued by the highest court OF the
land, to continue its application under
now conditions, instead of hastily aban-
doring it for an experiment involving OBJ
Vious difficulties and grave dangers"
Discussing the bureau of corporation s
recent Recommendation that the federal
government should retain the ownership
of the remnant of timber land now owned
by it and increase it's holdings by such
lands as may be recovered through for
feiture suits, the commissioner explains:
"The bureau did not advocate govern
ment ownership of timber in general
but simply the retention in public own
ership of certain timber until the time
of actual use This recommendation, in
stead of being an Endorsement of the prn.
ciple of government ownership in general
should have a contrary effect by pre-
venting conditions for which federal con-
troll and federal ownership are now so
often sought as a panacea."

Commissioner of Corpora
tions Urges Competi-
tive Policies
MAKES ANNUAL
REPORT TO NAGEL
SAYS Policy Means Abandonment of
Vital Principles of Antitrust
Acts After Their First
Real Successes

Washington. February o1.-Luther
tions. today came out in opposition to
the much discussed proposition for toll
Grafton of monopolies under govern
mental regulation and urged the con-
tinuatlon of the policy which permits
competition among the industries of the
United states
In his annual report to Secretary
Nagel, made public today, the commits
sioner says that recent decisions under
the sherman antitrust act have DEM
onstrated that that statute effect is
to reach consultations which so cross
the border line of monopolistic control
as to be detrimental to public interest.
1T is remarkable he added. that
after years of effort to maintain the
vital principle of the Sherman anti
trust act the first real success in this
direction, so far as industrial combina-
tions are concerned. should be accom-
panied by a rather widespread demand
for the practical abandonment of that
principle and the substitution there
for of regulated monopoly. 1t should
not escape notice that among the fore
most advocates of such regulated mo-
noply are representatives of some of
the most powerful consultations of the
time"
The creation of proposed trade COM
mission with powers of regulation over
private corporations similar to those
exercised by the interstate commerce
commission would mean, the commits
sioner declares, the substitution of a
marked degree of paternalism for that
freedom of individual action under
which, despite admittedly fragrant
ABUSES, the country has attained an
almost unparalleled prosperity"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-02-22
Results Unsatisfactory

The commissioner addds that even in
connection with railroads where COM
petition has been virtually destroyed,
'as in the case of certain New England
railroads, the results have proved e2-
lceedingly unsatisfactory from the pub
llic standpoint says Mt. Conant
up to the present time the idea of
a trade commission mas been in the main
associated with regulation rather than
with maintenance of competition. Indeed,
any proposal for trade commission with
substantially the same jurisdiction over
private business corporations as Is now
given to the interstate commerce COM
mission over common carriers is, in large
measure, a proposition for the abandon
ment of competition and for acceptance
OF concentration and combination on the
ground that regula ation will sufficiently
protect the public welfare. For there can
be no doubt that the old idea that unre-
stYicted competition among railroad COM
panies is desirable has been largely aban-
doped. Instead, public opinion has reoog
nized that to a considerable extent at
least, such enterprises do not permit of
free competition, although even here 1t is
noteworthy that where competition has
been virtually destroyed, the results have
proved exceedingly unsatisfactory. How
ever it may be conceded that, so far as
railroad and certain other quasi-pubic
corporations are concerned, the public has
definitely accepted the principle that COM
petition must largely be subordinated TO
regulation. But to assume that the same
principle should be adopted in dealing with
the private corporations of the country
is a radical departure.

Intervention iii Mexico to
This Effect Announced
by Knox
STILL CLAIMS A
NEUTRAL POLICY
Action Is Purely Impersonal and Not
Showing Any Interest in Dep0sed
President-Continuedi Mill
tary Preparedness

Washington, February 21.-Tntervention
of the United States government to Sc
cure justice. or at least fair trial, for
fallen President Madero of Mexico as an
nounced by Secretary Knox at the cab
met meeting today, was an unexpected
development of, the state departments
policy in regard to that republic. As re-
Gently as yesterday it was announced that
there was no intention to depart from the
policy of non-intervention in the Mexican
troubles. 1t appears, however, that TINS
statement was based upon the natural as
sumption that the newly established Mex
lean government would observe the ameni-
ties of civilized warfare in its treatment
of prisoners of either high or low de-
gree, and when the killing of Gustavo Ma
dero gave ground for genuine apprehen-
sion for the fate of the ex-President, it
was felt that the time had come to stretch
forth restraining hand.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-02-22
Still Strictly Neutral

The administration feels that it has not
in any manner departed from its policy Of
strict neutrality. Its action was purely
impersonal and probably would have fol-
loved as surely had General Diaz been
captured by Madero and threatened With
death without the process of law. The
fact is, though nor officially admitted,
that in an unofficial manner the state
! department did bring to bear influences
which saved Diaz from death when he
was captured by General Beltran at Vera
Cruz last fali. It is believed that the
Mexican people themselves, after the heat
Of combat is over, will be the first to
| express gratitude to the United States
government for preventing the placing of
country as would follow what practically
would amount to the murder of a deposed
President.
| 1t is recalled in some quarters that the
action of the administration in the case
of Madero is precisely the reverse of that
taken 46 years ago when President An
dlew Johnson refused to intervene to
prevent the shooting of the unfortunate
Emperor, Maximillan, who was by sin
gGlar coincidence betrayed by the min-
tary leader, General Lopez, who was his
main reliance In that case however, 1t
is pointed out that Macmillan was in
! Mexico greatly against the will of the
| United States, and also that he was tried
| by a legal tribunal in the form of a
| courtmartal.

 This young man was introduced to several pretty girls, but he show ed a preference for a certain one of these, and her he led to supper and distinguished among all others by his favors. Finally he got her into a corner and stammered forth his admiration thus:
 q like you lot!'

shoppers' Confidence Game.

"1 find fault with women," grum- bled the man in the checking room of large store, ''because they have a habit of leaving things in my care and expecting me to send them home.
 By no means all the women who check goods in department store are patrons at that shop. When ever woman finds herself down. town burdened with anything that she doesn't want to carry she makes for the nearest department store and checks it. According to the rules of the office, she is supposed to call for it, but half the time she doesn't.
 "She writes the next day saying she forgot it and asking us to send it home. Delivering checked goods is not part of our legitimate busi- ness, but a department store has got to be accommodating above all things, so of course we send it."- New York Times.
