we further believe that the wage-workers
and the business men must operate

their mutual advantage.

but which has forced the workingman
to work for ruinously small wages. We
propose to substitute the era of co-opera-

business men and farmers and wage
workers. and. as a necessary corollary,
we believe that the government must in
thoroushgoing fashion supervise and
regulate this movement toward co-opera-

In their resentment at the national
administra ton because of its Part in
bringing them to sore need many business
men and workingmen and farmers
threaten to vote even for such politicians
as Mr. Penrose in hope of securing re-
lief. Those who do will invite a worse
disaster than that from which they now
suffer.

who are responsible for the existence of

No Quarrel With Size.

Our constructive program of anti
trust legislation has no quarrel with
large business organizations as such. On
the contrary. we recognize that business
efficiency in production can be attained
only through business organization but
we demand that the government be
clothed with all the necessary power to
crush monopoly with all its attendant
evils.
The House of Representatives has
passed a bill supplemental to the Sher-
man antitrust act. Many of the provi-
sions of this bill deserve commentator,
especially those which prohibit certain
forms of unfair trade competition which
the courts have not as yet clearly con-
demned, but which upright business men
everywhere recognize as wrong and tend
ing to monopoly. Similar provisions will

ne progressive plan. on the other
hand said Col. Roosevelt will allow
business concentration insofar as such
concentration gives social and economic
efhclency and good service. But it will
also give the government fun power to
see mat business concentration does
serve these necessary ends. and that it
is not used for unfair competition or for
monopoly. or for the unfair treatment of
labor or for any other anti-social end.
This is the only tenable position on
the trust problem. for it faces the facts,
and does not try TO turn back the hands
of the clock.

experience with trying to regulate bust

Glad to See Women.
At both the dinner at McCreery's and
at the Exposition Hall meeting there
was a large percentage of women and
the colonel took occasion to direct atten-

at so large representation of women.
A reference to his desire to give women

Non-Partisan Tariff Board.

I'VE prosressives advocate the imme-
diate creation of non-partisan commits
sion,' said Col. Roosevelt. with power
to propose revision of the tariff rates,
schedule by schedule. treating each case
merits. divorced from favoritism and the
fostering of special interests.
Our proposed metho. would never
disorganiZe business by complete
change in all the tariff schedules at one
time. This is the progressive tariff pro-
gram"
OF the progressive antitrust pro-
gram Mr.. Roosevelt said:
I'VE believe in cooperation among
business men, among farmers and
among wage-workers. 1t is evident that
the problem of all antitrust legislation
is effectively to determine. the one
hand. what trade practices are unfair,
and the other to prevent the ex-
elusive control of any factor essential
to production by any person or cor
poration or group operated as a unit
1t is primarily an administrative prob
lem. To meet it We must have ade-
quate administrative machinery. The
progressives therefore advocate the crea-
ton of a strong interstate trade commits
sion and would give such commission,
primarily. three powers:
First, the power OF investiga ton. The
commission should be able to ascertain,
on complaint or on its own motion
whether monopoly in fact exists. and
if it does exist the basis of its monopo-
listic power.
Second. the power directly to prohibit
all unfair trade. practices within its juris-
diction. This power would enable the
commission TO stop all monopolies based
on unfair and oppressive trade practices.
Whenever monopoly is based on such
practices. what is needed is not the right
to recommend that suits be brought by
the Attorney General. or by any one
else What is needed is the direct power
in the commission itself to stop the
wrong.
Third. the power to end the exclusive
control of a factor necessary to produc-
ton by an order adapted to the circum-
stances of the particular case. The order
may involve changes in organization, in
management, or in the conduct of the
business. Where exclusive possession of
a natural resource is the basis of the
monopoly, it may be necessary to subject
its possession to the obligation of public
service. that is, the obligation to sell to
others a reasonable amount at reasonable
rates.

His the Only Wise Plan.

This is true both as regards the trust
question and the tariff question AS re-
CARDS both, the only wise course to fol-
low is that set forth in the national pro-
SresSive platform. The nation should
deal with both by continuing executive
action through administrative commits
sions of ample power.
One commission should shape our
tariff policies so as. with thorough
knowledge disinterestedly acquired, to
give proper encouragement to our mer
chants. while also giving proper pro-
lection to our wage-workers, our farm
ers and our business men The other
commission should exercise strict super
vision and control over big business. We
should treat it with entire justice. draw
ing the line not on size. but on miscon-
duct.
"As regards the tariff. 1 wish espe-
cially to call your attention to the prom
ises made by President Wilson and his
supporters two years ago They asserted
that their method of tariff reduction
would reduce the cost of living and would
thus solve the trust question, because.
creatures of the tariff. We then an
swered that their promises were empty
words. that no such results as they
stated could or would follow from the
course they advocated.
Two short years have proved us to
be right Their promises have not been
kept. Their performance has brought
distress upon the nation. The cost of
living has not been reduced. But the
ability of the average man to earn
living has been greatly reduced Not
the slightest progress has been mad to-
ward ! solving the trust question. But
the business community has been
harassed and harried to no purpose. and
the prosperity of the business man has
been checked exactly as the prosperity
of the farmer and the wageworker has
been checked.

Hits the Farmer Hard.

LAS for the farmer. the present tarlH,
the administrators tariff, was so framed
as to result in the sacrifice of his inter-
ests. He had no spokesman. no friend in
high quarters. and his welfare was con-
temptuously sacrificed. At every point
where his interest was concerned he was
made to suffer. AS for the wage-worker,
the result of the tariff was that he suf-
fered even more than his employer. for
he was thrown out of employment and
lost the means to earn his livelihood.
LAS for the employer, sometimes he
has been able to struggle on with the
loss of profits. sometimes he has had to
close his shop. In businesses in which
any of the big trusts were concerned it
was the small competitors of the trusts
who were injured and in many cases
ruined. Tariff reduction as put into
practice by the present administration
has chiefly benefited foreign rivals and
competitors.
1T is, of course. essential to reouke
those leaders who by their action helped
to put the present administration in
power, and. moreover, it is of vital con
sequence to the future well-being of our
people to drive from public life all men
whose political activities in state and
nation alike have been such as those OF
Senator Penrose. This is not only
political, but a moral issue.
