Commission and Committee Again

+ some member of the Council committee
1 investigating the Police Department had
made public avowal of the views expressed by
W. r. Moore, in letter printed OH this page
to-day, we should have been no longer at a
loss to understand why it was desired to
make public the Vice Commissions secret
budget" Whatever mystery cnveops the
attitude Of committee members, Mr.. Moore
makes his own feeling and his own attitude
perfectly clear
He desires the Vice Commission dis
credited and he wants the wrongdoings of
private citizens brought to light. OF course
Tic thought has not spared us, that the feel
ing Mr.. Moore displays SO fronkly was, in
fact. the animus of some members of the
committee. hut no member has proclaimed 1t
and certainly we would do no one the injustice
OF asserting it.
The Vice Commission does not require de-
tense 1t undertook a public duty of the
highest Importance and the greatest difficulty,
entirely from a sense of public responsibility.
II did its work conscientiously and solely for
the communitys benefit 1t profted moth
ing, hut gave time and even money freely
and generously.
Moreover. as we have said before, IL is
neither on trial nor in process OF investiga-
tiun. When the Council committee under
takes to bring the commission to book
should it ever do so--the committees mem
bers become simply SO many private citizens,
with the same right to opinion-and no
oiher-as that possessed by Mr.. Moore
Our correspondence references to the lin
famous outrages" Of the Vice Commission
make his strenuous disapproval obvious. 1t
is equally obvious that his purpose is TO i'm
press his views on the community. and that
his hope is that the publication of the secret
budget" will bring about, in some inscrutable
way, the commissions discontinue.
Conceding, for the sake OF the argument
that this result would be attained, it would
neither advantage the public aid the in
vestigating committee. 1t may we'll have
been that the Vice Commission committed
errors Of judgment, that il was deceived
by some of its informants as to matters of
fact. Its membership is human. and this de-
duction is in accord with humnnitys expert
ence. If these fralties however. were sub
jcct TO mathematical demonstrate ion-and re-
ccivcd 1.-THE Council committee would be as
far away ever from the performance of
its own task.
That task is the determination of what. if
anything, is wrong with the Police Depart
ment and the suggestion of methods for the
departments improvement. 1t will not be
aided by deciding whether some other
agency or collection of individuals is entitled
TO public felicitation or public scorn.

POINTS OF TRADE COMMISSION
tHolIipk y. Randolph, in Chicago ReraI.

, NTH section begins as follows: THAT
unfair methods of competition in COM
merce are hereby declared unlawful"
Power to prevent the use of unfair
methods of competition is conferred
upon the commission.
| In hearings before the commission,
a full record is made by an official
stenographer, without expense TO any
of the parties This record must be
| filed on an appeal by the commission,
without expense to litigants. The
case on appeal Is tried on the original
| record. All evidence heard must be
| taken before the commission. Thus
procedure before the commission Will
be both speedy and expensive
Business men will want to know lust
what constitutes unfair methods OF
competition" which are declared un-
lawful. Perhaps as good definition
as can be found is 1.-The conduct Of
business by methods which shock or
binary honesty Tho law books are
full OF recent cases bearing on unfair
| competition, and business men in
doubt Of this subject should consult a
| lawyer.
! The Clayton act, however. adds some
! specific instances to ordinary cases of
unfair methods OF competition. by
| making price -cutting, tying contracts,
| interlocking directorates and stock
holding companies eacl, unlawful under
some circumstances, and giving to the
ITdOc commission power TO forbid
| to legalze these acts. In every such
case the facts Of the particular case
will govern. and it will be impossible
to lay down any rule that Will govern
all cases.
Section of the trade commission
act gives tho right to examine corpo-
rate organization. business conduct,
practices and management, and to re-
quirc all corporations engaged in in
| terstate trade. or foreign trade, to file
reportR In such form as the commission
may TX. concerning the details of its
affairs
The commission may investigate also
any alleged violations OF the antitrust
laws. and may formulate plan ~
which business may be lawfully con-
ductcd under tho sherman and Clayton
antitrust laws. This is a valuable pro.
vision. rs 1t gives corporations an on
portunIty to avoid prosecutions. Vari-
Gus othor Investigations heretofore
done by the Attorney General may be
dono by tho commission.
| Another worry important power is to
Investigate conditions In foreign lands
which affect American business. Tariff
matters can bo thus investigated 1t
Is entirely possible for tho Trade Com
mission to become great safeguard
Of business interests In this respect.
American foreign trade can be greatly

The Federal Trade Commission has
just been organized at Washington.
Business men everywhere are wonder
ing what ii has power to do. Not Il
little transformation has been given re-
lativc to the commission and the law
which created 1t.
In Mr.. McKinley's first term COM
mission was appointed to examine into
American business affairs. especially
into the ways that corporations con-
Quoted business. This commission
took much testimony. and after two
years OF work, made report to Con-
gress recommending the formation OF
a permanent body that would super
wise and regulate and examine corpo-
rate business especially. In response
to this report. early In Mr.. Roosevelt's
first administration, the Department of
Commerce and the Bureau Of Corpora
tions Was created. This was in 1903.
The Bureau of Corporations was given
rather broad powers OF investigating
corporate business The evils that had
been found to exist in the manage
ment of corporations were not elm
mated by what the Bureau of Corpora
tons did, although considerable prog
ress was made in the desired direction.
Finally. however, the belief became
everywhere prevalent that more strin-
gent regulation was necessary.
In 1912 the Republican party. the
Progressive party and the Democratic
party all put planks in their respective
platforms promising the creation OF a
trade commission, IL successful at the
polls. The present bill. therefore, cam
not be regarded either as new and ex-
detrimental legislation nor as partisan
legislation. In the enactment Of the
present act, both Republicans and Pro-
gressives in Congress took a prominent
part and materially helped to shape
theNmeasure. Although passed by a
Democratic Congress. the trade COM
mission act received support from all
other political parties in both the
House and Senate. Business men must.
therefore, accept 1t as the result Of
public opinion, more fully expressed
than is usual In the enactment of
laws
Another fact may be noted here: tho
Trade Commission has come TO stay;
the act Will not be repealed. Amcri-
can interstate busincss hereafter will
be conducted under supervision OF the
Trade Commission. Tho provisions of
this law becomes vitality Important.
