Other Legislation Urged.
Three matters Of capital Importance
await the action Of the senate which
have already been acted upon by the
house Of representatives: the bill
which seeks to extend greater freedom
Of combination to those engaged in pro-
noting the foreign commerce Of the
country than is now thought by some
to be legal under the terms Of the laws
against monopoly; the bill amending
the present organic law Of Porto Rico |;
and the bill proposing a more thor
ough and systematic regulation Of the
expenditure Of money in elections, COM
monty called the Corrupt Practices Act.
! need not labor my advice that these
measures be enacted into law. Their
urgency lies in the manifest circum-
stances which render their adoption at
this time not only opportune but neces.
sary. Even delay would seriously
leopard the interests Of the country
and Of the government. Z
Immediate passage Of the bill to reg
ulate the expenditure Of money Ia cleo
tons may seem to be less necessary
than the immediate enactment Of the
other measures to which I.refer; be-
cause at least two years will elapse
before another election in which fed
eral offices are to be filled; but it would
greatly relieve the public mind II this
important matter were dealt with
while the circumstances and the dan
gers to the public morals Of the pres
ent method Of obtaining and spending
campaign funds stand clear under re-
cent observation and the methods Of
expenditure can be frankly studied in
the light Of present experience; and a
delay would have the further very Sc
rfous disadvantage Of postponing &C.
ton until another election was at hand
and some special object connected with
it might be thought to be in the mind
Of those who urged it. Action can be
taken now with facts for guidance and
without suspicion Of partisan purpose.

On Patent Medicines.
That 20 per cent Of the socalled pat
emit medicines or nostrums found on
the shelves Of the average drug store
are virtually worthless or are simply
fakes" and a means Of drawing mo
ney from suffering humanity without
giving any real benefit, is an assertion
made by DR.. e. F. Ladd, state pure
food commissioner and president Of the
North Dakota Agricultural college, IN
. bulletin issued here.
North Dakota Is now tolerably nee
from adulterated food products. Injuri-
Gus forms of adulteration have besn
driven out. The food department Of
North Dakota asks that there be enact
ed law which shall do for patent
medicine and dishonest quackery what
has been done for food products, and
this without injury to any druggist Who
is doing q legitimate business; IN fact.
. direct benefit to the public.
THE suggested law for North d.
kota simply requires that each and
kota simply requires that each and
every product as patent medicine or
'cureall' shall be registered"
y DR.. Ladd proposes that the food COM
missioner pass upon the medicines. but
that q board be created to review the
commissioners decisions In case OF
question. i

The other suggestions-the increase
in the interstate commerce commits
sion's membership and in its facilities
for performing its manifold duties, the
provision for full public investigation
and assessment of industrial disputes,
and the grant to the executive Of the
power to control and operate the rail-
ways when necessary in time of war
or other like public necessity now
very earnestly renew.
The necessity for such legislation Is
manifest and pressing. Those who have
intrusted us with the responsibility
and duty Of serving and safeguarding
them in such matters would find it
hard, I believe, to excuse failure to
act upon these grave matters or any
unnecessary postponement Of action
upon them.
Not only does the interstate COM
merce commission now find 1t practi-
cally impossible, with its present mem
bership and organization, to perform
its great functions promptly and thor
oughly, but 1t is not unlikely that 1t
may presently be- found advisable to
add to its duties still others equally
heavy and exacting. It must first be
perfected as an administrative instru-
ment.
The country cannot and should not
consent to remain any longer exposed
to profound industrial disturbances for
lack of additional. means Of arbitra-
ton and Cancellation which the con-
gress can easily and promptly supply.
And all will agree that there must be
no doubt as to the power Of the execu-
tive to make immediate and uninter-
rupted use Of the railroads for the con-
centration Of the military forces Of the
nation wherever they are needed and
whenever they are needed.
This is a program of regulation, pre-
vention and administrative efficiency
which argues its own case in the mere
statement of It. With regard to one
Of its items, the increase in the eff
cheney Of the interstate commerce COM
mission, the house Of representatives
has already acted; its action needs
only the concurrence Of the senate.
K For Control and Operation.
I would hesitate to recommend, and
/ dare say the congress would hesitate
to act upon the suggestion should I
makedt, that any man In any occupa-
tian should be obliged by law. to con-
tinue in an employment which he de-
sired to leave. To pass law which
forbade or prevented the individual
workman to leave his work before re-
ceiving the, approval Of society in do
ing so would be to adopt new prin-
ciple into our jurisprudence which l

Governments Must Protect.

The question that very naturally
arises at this point is-with such g
complicated specification for gasoline
for which the user cannot make the
necessary tests-how will 1t be pos
| sible to protect his interests and to
Eassure himself that he is actually get
ting standard gasoline? The answer
| is, he cannot possibly do so; the gov
ernment-nationa1. state or municipal
must protect him by a suitable in
|spection service, just as it protects him
in matters relating to weights and
measures, pure foods etc.
National legislation relating to in
terstate commerce. making it unlawful
to sell a product under the name of
gasoline that does not come within
the specifications. with a suitable in
spection service, would be an important
contributing factor in safeguarding
the consumers interests. Other prod
ucts, which might be just as good
motor fuels for motor and carburetor
equipments adapted to them, could not
then be sold in interstate; commerce
under the name of gasoline but
would have to be called motor fuels
or by some other name which would
distinguish them from the standard
gasoline To protect the interests
of the consumer in intrastate COM
merce it would be necessary for states
and municipalities to adopt similar
legislation and to increase their in
spection service to provide for this
new work, just as they have provided
for weights and measures and pure
food regulations IN the past"
