BY ROBERT WILSON.

Especial Correspondence OF The Argus.
Washington. Jan. 5.-If the recent
action of the Morgans and other pow
ers of Wall street In resigning from
various railroad and other Industrial
directorates was designed as a method
for quieting the popular cutlery against
interlocking directorates and thus
blocking legislation on the subject in
congress. that action should. and prob
ably will, fail of its purpose.
II will take more than this to make
the people believe that the money trust
is TO be broken by voluntary dissolu-
ton, but even If the powers of Wall
street voluntarily severed all banking
and commercial connections against
which the people complain. still there
would be given no excuse for congress
not TO proceed to enact prohibitory
legislation as II has planned. The peo-
pie cannot AFFORD to take the word of
financiers that they will not attempt
to monopolize the credit of the nation.
The people must do more. They must
forbid such a monopoly by specific leg
islation-
However. the severing OF a few in
dustrial connections by the big bank
ers OF New York does not by any
means dissolve the money trust. 1t
does not even shake its power. Grant
that these designations from the rail-
road directorates are in good faith
that there will In fact be no representa-
tion in person or by proxy OF the Nor
gans and others on the railroad boards
OF directors, the bankers will still
control the reservoirs OF capital in
New York The railroads must still
come to them for financial assistance.
And this fact leaves their power over
the railroads still supreme. although
they have no official representation In
the roads.

CAPITAL COMMENT

7 Let the Morgans and others begin
to surrender their. control of the In
surance reserves OF the country. Let
them dissociate the great banks which
have been linked by directorates COM
posed of or controlled by the few Wall
street men who constitute the money
trust. Let them surrender these great
pools of the peoples savings and COM
mercial deposits. and prepare for the
future to act strictly as investment
bankers Then will the people begin
to believe that Wall street has truly
reformed. And 1t will remain only to
enact the laws preventing future mon
ey trusts.
There Is a shrewd suspicion, how
ever. that the money trust as ever, in
retiring from railroads, had its own
end to serve. The railroads are after
a per cent increase in rates. Re-
Gently the Interstate commerce COM
mission. in drawing up a set of ques-
tons to be answered by the roads, in
Guided a question asking information
on the subject of interlocking direc-
torates.
Evidently this question has alarmed
Wall street Not only congress, but
the interstate commerce commission, is
becoming curious about these inter-
locking boards. There was the posi-
bility that the commission might not
grant the increase IL the railroads are
linked with banking houses which in
turn have their connections with indus
tries furnishing supplies to the roads.
nn,,, mi siou than might become
still more obnoxiously curious and In
quire into contracts made between
railroads and these interlocked indus
tries, such as the steel trust, which
makes rails for the railroads, and the
whole affair might wind up with re-
fusal to grant the Increase in freight

WOMEN AND THE INCOME IA,

WOMEN AND THE INCOME TAX.
The women of the United States
will pay little heed to the advice o.
DIR. Anna Howard Shaw not to SEIZED
ule their incomes for taxation under
the provisions of the income tax law
Women, as a rule, are intuitively
loyal and intensely patriotic. This
fact makes them. of all citizens. the
most law-abiding.
The income tax law is a commend
able statute. II is a mild form OF di
rect taxation. Those whose incomes
are large enough to be subject to tax
alton under this law are amply able
to meet IL without depriving them
selves of even the luxuries of life. II
is a far more patriotic duty TO pay
this tax than it has been TO pay the
burdensome indirect taxation imposed
hby robber tariffs which the women of
the country az well as the men have
had to pay
The women understand the principle
involved in the new form of national
taxation as fully as do tine men. and
they will periodically obey the law
and make their income returns accord
ing to its provisions.
Mrs. Shaw mistakes the character
OF American women when she ap-
peals to them TO take radical steps to
force the enactment of an equal suf-
frage law.
They possess higher ideals of right
and justice and good citizenship than
do the militant suffragettes of Eng
land. They cannot be led into law
breaking to secure law reform.
The women OF the United States
have proved themselves to be the most
patriotic citizens in dealing with every
public problem that has confronted
the country.
They will not cast Off their patriot
ism now that the government has
a plan to relieve the taxpayers
Of the country OF the outrageous bur-
dens which the robber tariff system
places upon the poor and rich alike.
II is not necessary for the secretary
OF the treasury to remind the women
that they will have to pay the income
tax or suffer the penalty. He will find
hat there Will be far fewer income
tax dodgers among the women, pro-
DortiOnately than among the men.

but also for others. The missionary
spirit is in the air. 1t is the far reach
ing cry of the new era of which 1914
may mark the most eventful epoch in
a century.
Democracy in government, fellow
ship in society, helpfulness for the de-
serving, reformative as well as punt
tive measures for wrongdoers, pro-
found knowledge of ourselves and our
shortcomings. a higher appreciation of
our neighbor. a tearing down of bar
riers to human process a widen

SANDER. VENOM AND EVIDENCE

F. G. Blair. superintendent of public
instruction OF the state OF Illinois, has
sensible article in the January num-
Der OF the Educational Press Bulletin
II Is a well known fact that in every
city and town there are plenty OF Cos
sipers ready and anxious to drag some
one into the limelight, but at the same
time without the moral courage TO face
/ those whom they prefer charges
against in an anonymous manner.
Here in these cities are persons that the
newspaper reporters meet every day
who say: why don't you fellows roast
So and So, or What's His Manner"
Then when you pin one OF these chaps
down to the facts, you find that he has
a personal grudge against the one he
is running down. For heavens sake

the way that the one that wants an
other, fellow roasted comes to the
newspaper man.

lowing. dealing with the scandal
