WILSON A CREATOR OF LAWS

Notwithstanding President Wilson
has he'd more complicated questions
to solve in the last three years, than
amy president THAT ever sat dn that
chair since the formation of the gov
aside q ON these duties to formulate
legJ:iation, that In case OF his re-elec
tion he intends to present TO con-
gCess and use his best endeawors to
program and should be read by every
voter, as it Is sane reasoning and
should be framed into law:
Washington, Sept 12.-Presddent
WdlrOn is about to announce plans
on which he has been at work for
meeting the commercial needs which
may result f-om the close Of the war
ard fcr general governme NAL aid to
business. II elected, he intends to
use his influence to secure the fol-
lowing legislative and executive pro-
gram:
81. A revision of tie tariff along
lines recommended by the non-parti-
san tariff commission to meet the
altered commercial needs created by
the revised tariffs of warning pow
ers and the pressure likely to be
applied by new commercial alliances.
The presidents tariff policy admits
a reasonable amount of protection
and due consideration of revenue.
"2. Organization and extension to
foreign countries of the credit ma
chipery Of the United States of which
the federal reserve system is The
present nucleus. The United States
has become the great lending and
owning nation of the world and this
pre-eminence involves dangers and
responsibilities which must be met
by legislative and executive action.
"3. Organdzation of American in
dustries by means of cartels, or fed
eral markets of the world. This pol
icy, now urged by the federal trade
commission, involves departure
from the Sherman laws sweeping
ban on all cooperative organization.
The president idea is that size shall
not be regarded as a menace and
that regulation shall curb improper
practices in domestic markets, while
combination enables tire business
men of the United States to get iheir
share CT the worlds trade.
a. DEVELOPMENT by the federal
trade commission of a uniform sys-
tenn CT accounting and cost keeping
for the use of private business.
"5. Developing and improving
transportation facilities on land and
water. Fer the latter purpose the
new law authorizing the government
to purchase $50 900 900 worth of ship
ping and put the vessels into COM
mercial service is the finst step. The
second step ds an extension of federal
aid on q large scale to the railroads
OF the United States. This aid is
to be worked cut alcng lines recon-
mended by the special joint commit
tee recently created by congress at
the instance Of Senator Newlands,
and the lines most likely to be FOL
lowed, in the judgment OF President
Wilson are, (a the elimination of
'the present system of regulation by
state commissions with their vary
Ing regulations and placing the whole
system under control of the
federal interstate commerce commits.
sion; (b) re-financing the roads in
such a way tfat the abuses of frenz-
led finance may be corrected, but at
the same time money provided for
adequately providing improvements
and extensions.
These policies are regarded as
supplemental to the enactments in
the interest of labor which, have
