MOTIVES
MAKES BITTER Speech

Says the Effort to Incorporate the
Rockefeller Foundation is a Pro-
posal to Farm Out to Him and
Associates the Right to Educate
the People on Tainted Money.
Efforts in congress to incorporate
the s10O,000,000 Rockefeller Foun-
dation were scored Monday by Sena-
tor Works who declared them "pro-
posal to farm out to John D. Rookie
feller and his associates the right
and power to educates the people of
the country with money accumulat-
ed by criminal means" Senator
Works statement was made in con-
nection with a speech he delivered
in the Senate Monday on trusts and
combination, the existence of which
he blamed the high protective tariff
policy.
"The extent to which this may be
carried out is practically unlimited.
The corporations and institutions OF
learning which may be established
throughout the country in the hands
of people who will be subservient to
to the interests and views of Mr.
Rockefeller and his associates are
without number of limitation" said
the senator.
We do not want our children to be
taught the ways nor the methods of
John D. Rockefeller or his kind, nor
to be generous with ill-gotten gains,
gold that should blister the fingers
of the man who has accumulated it
by extortion, oppression, and crime,
and is now attempting to rid himself
of it by giving it away, nor to be-
come the receivers of stolen goods
in the name and under the guise Of
charity"
The continued existence of trusts
and monopolies, the senator said,
was due to the inadequacy Of the
Sherman antitrust law which he de-
clared should be so amended that
specific restraints of trade shall be
unlawful with suitable punishment
for those who violate the law. While
he was not in favor of a high pro-
tective tariff which fostered capitals
tic combination, he said he would be
in favor of an effort to protect the
wage Garner in his earnings and that
he believed it would be IAN excellent
thing to harmonic the tariff and
wages.
"The Interstate Commerce Com
mission," continued the senator,
should be allowed to determine
whether fair wages are being paid
by any concern; and If not, to COM
pei the employer employing foreign
laborers and paying European wages
to pay the same tariff on it's manu-
factured goods that are enforced
against foreign importations until
its wages are increased to fair
scale for American workmen. If a
higher tariff did in fact protect the
wage Garner I would cheerfully
stand for it's continuance, even at the
expense of higher prices to the con-
sumer. The evident purpose of the
so-called tariff experts is, so far as
progress has been made, to deprive
the farmers, who are themselves la
boring men and wage earners in most
cases, of all protection and preserve
it to the trust and millionaire man
ufacturers and business men can
compete with the world and make
profits. They can and do sell their
goods cheaper than at home. With
the farmer, in many cases, it is diff
ferent.
'The wage Garner must be protect
ed in his earnings and reasonable
hours of labor, the consumer in rea-
sonable prices, and the whole people
must be protected in their independ-
ence and liberty. Equality Of all
men must be made a reality and not
a theory. If the nocratic party
can and will accomplish these re-
suits, demanded by the people, it may
five and maintain itself in power. If
it does not, its reign will be brief.
If neither Of the old parties can or
will restore the government to the
people as our forefathers handed. it
down, then a new party will be rails
ed up that will do the peoples will.
1t will be party of the peoples own
making, founded on justice, fair
dealing, and disinterested patriotism.
I am ready to give the Democratic
party fair trial. I am willing to
wait and see and to lend my aid to
that yarty or any other to bring
about just and bene6cient laws
throush and by which the whole peo-
pie may be brought into their own
and their Just rights fostered and
protected"
Dostors Made Mistake.
