ANTITRUST BILL
PLANS UNDER WAY
House Judiciary Committee
Meet Today to Map Out
Hearings.
OTHER WORK NEXT WEEK
Three Interlockins Directorship and
Trust Regulation Measures
Will Be Revised.

. Both of the House committees which
will frame the antitrust legislation In
accordance with President Wilson's plan
are prepared to get down to work. and
public hearings on the various bills Will
be held by the Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce and the Judi
ciary Committee.
Early next week the Commerce Com
mittee will meet to map out the series
of hearings on the bills providing for
the creation Of an interstate trades COM
mission and for the regulation of the
issuance of stocks and bonds by rail-
roads and other common carrier cor
porations
The judiciary Committee will hold a
session this morning at which a similar
project will be considered with regard
to the three bills specifically referred to
that committee.
Representative Clayton. chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, stated that the
three bills made public providing for
trust regulation and the inhibition upon
interlocking directorships will be revised
before formal introduction in the House.
Adamson VIII Draw Bill.
Chairman Adamson, of the Commerce
Committee, will draw the bill giving the
commerce COMMISSION luTlS-
diction over stock and bond issues. This
measure will not be touched by the Ju-
dietary Committee.
There were several conferences yester-
day on the subject of the general trust
program by the Democratic leaders. Rep
resentative Henry, of Texas. chairman
Of the Rules Committee. and Judge
Adamson conferred. and Samuel Inter
myer also was in Washington, it is said.
for the purpose of trying to revive in
terest in the bill produced as a result
of the labors Of the Pujo Money Trust
Commission providing for the regulation
of stock exchanges and aiming partic-
ularly at the New York Exchange. This
is the measure which President Wilson
Is indisposed to favor for consideration
at this juncture.
Fearing that his announcement of
Thursday that he would not recommend
to Congress the enactment Of legislation
regulatory of stock exchange activities
had been misconstrued, President Wilson
yesterday let il be known that he should
not be regarded as having committed
himself against such legislation should it
be initiated at the Capitol.
The President desired Il to be under
stood that his attitude is merely that of
withholding any expression of opinion
upon the desirability of the suggested
legislation at this time. There are good
reasons for believing, however, that the
administrators view is that the problem
OF regulating the stock exchange may
well be excluded from the program of
antitrust Legislation to be fixed upon for
the present session of Congress.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE PEACE
AGITATION.

Chicago Herald: President Wilson
took occasion. in the presence of a
number of visitors, to deny that he
intended. as a newspaper had report
ed. to call a world conference to
bring about peace.
He characterized the suggestion as
impracticable and in line with scores
Of other impractical suggestions from
various sources. He made plain his
opinion that it would be- worse than
useless to act at present
The president is right. It is one
thing to be earnestly desirous of help
ing the warning nations to peace and
another thing to be eternally rushing
in with a suggestion for peace which
every one knows those nations are In
no temper to accept
It Is one thing to feel that one Is
the official organ for the unquestion-
ed peace sentiment OF this country,
as the president undoubtedly is. and
quite another thing to try to mike
oneself the channel for the communi-
cation and championship of all the
peace plans that are invented.

PREPARING FOR WAR IN WIN
TER.

In ancient times warfare, like navi-
cation on the sea, was considered i'm
possible in winter, and both usually
came to standstill early in the fall.
With the modern improvement in IA
cilities for both land and water trans
portation. the cold weather and fire.
quent storms of the years harsher
half do not make as much difference
either to armies or to ships, but no
longer ago than the days OF Napoleon
the Russians needed no better de-
fense than deep snow against the
worlds greatest military genius, and
only the other day it was considered
marvellous that the Balkan states
could continue in winter their cam
paigns against Turkey and each other.
Now, though France and Germany
are closely reticulated with railways,
in both countries the prospect of ex-
tending the war into the cold months
is exciting the anxiety of the several
commanders and they are appealing
to civilian sources of supply for the
warm clothing that the soldiers will
soon be needing. Evidently they feel
that the carefully developed military
machine is incapable of meeting ade-
quately the coming needs, and realize
how greatly the already almost intol-
erable hardships of the forces in the
field will be increased when suffer-
ings from the cold will be added to
them.
The war began in torrid heats. 1t
has since been conducted in the au-
tumnal rains, which, coming little
earlier than usual in Central Europe
this year. have revived the ancient
superstition as to the rain-making eff
ficiency of big battles. Already there
is reported warning chill in the
morning air. and in the absence of
any hope strong enough to be called
expectation for an immediate end of
the war. the terrors of a winter cam
paign are in sight.
So dreadful have been the events
of the past month that it has seemed
as if nothing could be worse, but this
was faliacious conclusion. OF all

Across the meadow and through the

And the voice of the wind is calling

PEACE STILL POSSIBLE.

Although there has been actual
armed conflict in Mexico between the
forces of Carranza and those of Villa
and Zapata, there is still possibility
of peace. Villa appears to take the
position that the new government of
Mexico must be a civil government,
pure and simple. and there must be
no question as TO its willingness and
its fixed purpose to inaugurate the
land reforms for which Villa has
stood all the way through. We have
no information as to the basis for his
belief that these reforms will not be
brought about under a regime with
Carranza at its head. But Villa has
expressed that belief, and has de-
manded that Carranza remove him.
self entirely from the situation as a
possible candidate for president, and
as the head of the provisional govern
ment. CarranZa has shown willing
ness to yield. conditionally. perhaps,
but still to yield. That puts a some
what hopeful aspect on the situation.
Whether or not Villa will yield to
the counter demand that Villa ef-
face himself as the commander of the
constitutionalist forces remains to he
seen. The proba abilities appear to be
the other way. Assuming that Villa
is entirely unselfish and sincere. we
may credit him with something like
this course of reasoning:
Mexico has been misgoverned and
its people oppressed by the iron hand
Of despotic rulers. Rebellion after re-
bellion has been started. only 70 fail
The present movement has made more
progress. Force has been met with
force, and the army fighting for the
freedom of the masses has been able
to overcome opposition and place it
self in control of the situation. Villas
own personality and his qualities of
leadership have really decided the
matter. So long as he remains at the
head of his army he can enforce his
demands for reform. Were he to re-
object has been accomplished. all that
he has fought for might be lost
Therefore he will not retire at this
time.
That sort of argument would be
logical. and would be consistent with
a belief on Villas part that he has a
mission to free his people. Hence
it seems likely that he will refuse to
relinquish the position of power
which he has gained until he sees
some evidence of the early accom-
plishment Of the things for which he
has fought.

RAKING THE ASHES.

recent picture supplement of one
of the great dailies gives some re-
markable illustrations of places and
Incidents in the arena of the great Eu-
ropean war. There is given a full
page picture of the great Gothic cath
edral at Rheims. with its wonderful
carving and its harmonious design.
No one can see even a picture of that
splendid building without keen regret
that its beauty. which. for seven hun
dred years, has been a delight to those
who have seen it, should have been
marred by the terrible machinery of
war.
But the publication contains a num-
ber Of other pictures, even more i'm
pressive. One is that of group of
peasants, huddled together in fright
watching the burning of a village near
by. Another shows villagers raking
in the debris of their ruined homes
to see If. perchance, anything Of value
remains Several others of like char
acter are shown.
1t is such scenes as these, rather
than those Of ruined magnificence,
which bring home the awful tragedy
of war. The peasants who occupied
those homes had no part in the quar-
rel which led to such destruction
They knew nothing of the problems of
state craft. nor cared about them
They sought to make homes for them
selves. to maintain their families by
their own industry. to educate their
children, and to live lives of peace and
sobrtety and usefulness. The meager
accumulations of lifetime have been
destroyed in moment, and where
comfortable homes stood they rake
among the broken bricks and ashes
for chance fragments of the things
which they had owned and loved.
To most of us, doubtless, war means
battle. carnage. the rattle of musk
etry. the boom of cannon. the thrill
OF the charge, the fierce joy of COM
bat. We recall Byron's lines:
Then there was mounting in hot
haste. The steed.

TAXING THRIFT.

The proposed tax on life insurance,
which forms one of the provisions of
the pending emergency revenue bill,
is open to two objections. First. it
would be a direct tax on the thrift of
the people, and would impose a bur-
den on those who are accommodating
small sums of money, not for business
or speculative purposes. but for the
protection of their families against
the untimely death of the breadwin-
ner. Second. it would impose an ad-
ditional tax on that which is heavily
taxed already.
Life insurance is the protection
in moderate circumstances seeks to
give his family. 1t is true that there
are some very large insurance poll
cies. and it is these of which we most
often hear. But the statistics on the
subject show that when the total
amount of insurance carried is divid-
ed by the total number of persons
insured, the result is little less than
two thousand dollars, which means
that, while there are a few indiyidu-
ais whose insurance runs into large
figures, life insurance is really the
protection of the masses, of the plain,
ordinary family. Anything which I'M
pairs that security, of which makes it
more costly. or which places any OBJ
structIon whatever in the way of the
performance by the humble individual
of the sacred duty of making proper
provision for his family, is to be dis
couraged and deplored
1t is also a fact that life insur-
ance is now taxed, and taxed heavily.
All life insurance companies are re-
qulred to pay their portion of the
income tax levied by the federal gov
ernment. In addition to this they pay
in each state such taxes as the sta te
| authorities see fit to levy. In North
Dakota they pay two and one-half per
| cent of all the premiums collected.
NO system of reasoning can obscure
the fact that a tax on life insurance
no matter how levied, is a tax on the
insured. Under present insurance
"a" - aiu uHueI lQe customs which
nave been followed in many compa-
| mes Tor many years, since long before
| these later laws were enacted, all the
money that remains in the treasury
of an insurance company after the
necessary legal reserve has been set
aside, and after the ordinary cost of
operation has been paid. is the prop
erty OF the policyholders, and this
surplus must be returned, in one
form or another. Immediately. In.
crease the cost of operation, by taxa
ton or otherwise. and we diminish the
returns to the insured Taking OH,
state tax as an illustration, it is q
fact that of every one hundred dol.
lars which a man pays in life insur.
ance premiums. two and a half dollar,
is appropriated by the state, and onl,
ninety-seven and one-half dollars i.
available for the purposes of insur
ance.
1t is admitted that money must b.
raised for the operation of the govern
ment. But it is poor policy to seel
to pinch any portion of it out o,
money that has been set apart for the
protection of families which, in man,
cases. might without this protection
become public charges.
