WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

will also be possible to say that inn
ports in June 1913. under the old
tariff, were 5000 per cent larger than
in June of this year under the new
tariff. The truth is that neither COM
parison proves anything so far as the
effect of the tariff on tin importations
is concerned. since the tariff has alb
sOlutely nothing to do with the
changes in tin plate importationS.@

GOVERNMENT AT FIRST HAND.
There are two or three states which
maintain bureaus the sole duty of
which is to gather information for the
use of legislators and to deliver 1t
swiftly and in handy shape when
called for. There is one large mu-
nicipal research bureau. privately
supported, and two or three that are
kept in existence with public funds.
The federal government has institu-
tons of researchers and experts, in
vestigators and cOmpilers ever at the
command of congressman when MEM
bers of congress feel the need of
knowledge.
1t is very important thing that
there should be plenty of instruction
and direction to keep the lawmakers
in the path of wisdom. But hash [
the natural order of things been
muddled? Ought not the researchers
the experts and the compilers of in
formation be the ones who provide
government and manufacture laws
rather than certain ones who must
trust to the learned for guidance? If
you owned a ship you would not hire
a landsman to steer and then put a
sailor at his elbow. You'd save eX-
penses and prevent many an awkward
situation by commanding the sailor to
take the wheel.

Realization that he was shifting
his affections to Mrs. uox's pretty

ing to the disposal to be made Of the
Western Union Stock.
Although the present negotiations
have not reached the stage where a
policy can be outlined. it is known
that the attorney general and Mr..
Todd would oppose a pro rata distri-
button Of the Western Union shares
among stockholders Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
They take the position that this case
is greatly different from that present

no parallel to be found in the Union
Pacific's plan to distribute the Bslti-
more and Ohio stock to its share

Philadelphia. JAN 81 Discussion
Of government regulation Of steel
and other big ana of the
desirability Of permitting inonep p6Iies
in public utilities, took up a part Of
today's session of the hearing in the
governments dissolution suit against
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company. John c. Jay, Jr.,
general sales manager Of the Penn
sylvania Steel company, called by
the defense to give his opinion on
some of the disadvantages of COM
petition in the telephone business,
said he believed in one water, gas
or electric hight company, properly
regulated with efficient service and
fair rates. On dissemination he
said he favored competition if bet
ter service and lower rates could be
obtained.
Taking up competition in the steel
business Mr.. Jay said he had come
to believe there should be no COM
petition in that industry, because 1t
eventually would mean ruinous price
wars. He would adopt a middle
ground, he said, such as government
regulation, to keep check on these.
Returning to the telephone situa-
tion, Mr.. Jay said that his company
had discontinued the use Of the In
dependent telephone service in this
city because of the expense Of hay-
ing two systems.
