These Are the Men
Who Would Corner Air

Were it possible to corner the air and

ties 10 those about 10 expire Of sui'ocai-
tion. there is not a doubt but that ANAL
carnations and interlocking corporations
would be- formed to control the available
supply unit. the babies would die oil Ike

We raise wheat 10 feed The world and

There is one reason, al least, which may
oe understood and at its root lies simple
Inadorned greed.
The farmer holds his wheat until II
brings 81 per bushel and ne says he can
not be blamed for that with the cost Of
and labor soaring.
The butter and egg men store their
wares until they are stale and until they
reach high water mark in the middle Of

Trusts which fix the prices Of commodi-
ties not always in relation TO the laws Of
supply and demand are familiar.
But the limit in heartless exploitation
has been revealed by the investigations of
District Attorney Clyne Of Chicago.
He discovered cases in which crops had
been bought up by spectators and al
lowed to rot upon the ground in order
that the prices might be kept up through
the suppression Of the natural supply
In other instances potatoes were
bought from farmers and later dumped
into the Illinois river.
That unchalitableness and utter lack of
humanity can go much farther than
his, we DO not believe.
These are the men who would whistle
a tune and jingle the coin in their pock-

prices that absolute necessity of life.

We Are Indebted to the
Stock Exchange for a
Glimpse of Blue Sky

Several years ago the forces Of reform
mohiized in Michigan and secured 'th'
enactment of blue sky" law to pro-
tect unsuspecting investors from the lure
of balloon common and bubble preferred.
The board of commerce boosted for il,
The Adcrafters concurred. Then every
body seemed to forget all about il but
the folks with glittering prospectuses,
who got busy right away and success
fully attacked the constitutionaity Of
the protective measure.
The encouragement studied similar
laws in western states that had with
stood the assaults of security-sellers and
framed a new measure modelled after
these lawyer-proof patterns, which was
passed by the legislature.
This measure also proved to be Of more
interest to those whose operations il cur
tailed than to anyone else. and they Sc
cured decision against il in the lower
courts. The case has been argued in the
supreme court, and decision is pend
ing.
In the meantime the Michigan Secur-
ties Commission is legally constituted
tribunal, created by the state TO save
the public from the wiles of unscrupulous
promoters. The approval of this commits
sion is prerequisite for the legal adver
tising and selling of securities in Mich
igan.
The law has been outrageously flouted
from the outset by promoters, stock job
bers and newspapers. None of the or
CARNATIONS that pulled for it has lifted
hand TO compel respect. The commits
sion itself has been none too courageous
in asserting its restrictive and discipln-
airy powers.
Just when il seemed that this legsla-
tion had become dead letter the Detroit
stock exchange breathed the breath Of
life into it by refusing to have anything
10 do with Harroun Motor stock. being
ilamboyantly proclaimed as a sure-thinl
investment without the sanction Of the
Michigan Securities Commission and un-
der other conditions that were not re-
garded as reassuring by conservative
brokers.
The Stock Exchange also withdrew it'
advertising from the newspapers-News
Free Press and Journal-that ADMITTED
the enticing advertisements Of this un.
approved stock.
BY this practical procedure the dealers
in unquestioned securities pointed tn,
way to the quick accomplishment Of ad
vertising reform. Legitimate advertiser
can evince their disapproval Of question
able advertising by refusing TO associat
with it.
AS result of the Detroit Stock Ex
changes stand, we are to be treated 4
our first glimpse of the blue sky bene
faction. The Michigan Securities Com
mission will summon the sellers of tn
Harroun Motor certificates to appear an
show cause why their licenses should no
be revoked for advertising and selling a
unapproved stock.
This sign of resuscitation on the par
Of the commission ought to have the salu
tary effect Of cutting off the food of a
luring offerings that find their way to
readily into the columns Of newspaper
that don't mind little thing like the CO
Iective viii Of the people registered in
solemn enactment.

ERIE MUST ELIMINATE
PATERSON CROSSINGS
Work Will Cost Road $1,000
OOO-Ficldcr Law Is De-
clarcd Valid.

TRrSroN. y. J., June .2-Dccidinc
that the Fielder grade crossing act Of
1913 !s constitutional, the supreme court
to-day sustained an order OF the Board
Of Public t%'tillty Commissioners requlr-
ing the Erie Railroad to eliminate NJ
teen grade crossings IN Paterson at an
estimated cost Of 80. 000. 600.
In another decision involving the same
case the court held hat the provision
Of the law requiring street railway
companies to bear 10 per cent. OF the
cost of eliminating crossings at which
their tracks are concerned is "A proper
exercise of police power.
Tnon more technical grounds. NOT az
fscting the main question, the Court set
aside an order of the commission re-
quiring the Central Railroad Company
Of New Jersey TO after its grade cross
ings, AT CRAWFORD. Union county. In
this case the Court held that the board
had exceeded It's power by making an
o"dr requiring the taking of private
property.
Under tho Fielder act proceedings are
now under way before the Public ttility
Commission looking toward the elimina-
ton OF grade crossings In Elizabeth
Elizahethport, Perth Amboy. Trenton
and other municipalities in which dan-
gerouS crossings exist.
