ARE THESE PRoGRESSIVES?

Candidate Hughes makes the usual
appeal to the people to give him a Re
publican House and Senate to carry
forward his new progressive plans.
We hope Mr.. Hughes will take occa-
sion to explain to the folks at his first
opportunity how he is going TO run
the Senate on progressive lines if it
should change its political complex
ion
That eminent Progressive, Senator
Gallinger will be president pro tenn
and chairman of the committee en-
rules. The forward-looking Penrose
will be chairman of the finance COM
mittee. His success as tariff re-
former is Illustrated in the Payne-Ald-
rich bill, in framing which he took an
important part. That staunch defend
er of the Public Treasury, Senator
Warren, will be chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations. Senator
dupont, of Powder Trust fame, Will
have increased opportunities as chair
man of the committee on military af-
fairs, while Senator William Alden
Smith, VINO almost beat Henry Ford
in the campaign for presidential dele
gates in Michigan. will be chairman
OF the committee on naval affairs. The
extreme cOnservationist, Senator Reed
Smoot, Will control the public lands
committee, while Clarke, of Wyom
ing, will be chairman of the judiciary
committee. to which will BE referred
all progressive measures for deci-
sion as to their constitutionality. Sen
ator Nelson, former chairman of the
Ballinger white-washing committee,
will be chairman of the committee on
currency.
1 All the important committees in the
Senate. except one, will be controlled
| by the reactionary members Of the
Old Guard, which sometimes surren-
ders but never dies. However, there
is no special need of worry. The
Senate Will remain Democratic during
Woodrow Wilson's second term.

DOESN'T LOOK TEMPORARY"

August dividend and interest pay
ments on securities of 204 American
corporations have been estimated by
{, financial statistician in New York
as totalling $3.50, ,465, or larger
! than ever before for this month and
comparing with $120,75O.50S for last
| August. This represents a gain of
about $30,000,000 in disbursements on
securities, of which amount almost all,
or $26,274,957, represents dividends on
stocks, the other four million odd dol
lars having presumably been paid out
in form OF interest on bonds.
AS bond interest payments are for
the most part guaranteed before the
bonds are issued, at a fixed amount
each year, their aggregate of course,
does not vary from year to year to the
same extent as does the total dividend
disbursements on stocks. The amount
OF dividend paid on the stock of a
company in most cases is determined
by the board of directors on the basis
of corporations earning for the six
month or three-month period imme-
Idiately preceding the date of declara-
ton, but a dividend is seldom increas-
ed by conservative board of direc-
tors unless future earning prospects
also are good.
The facts, therefore, that the August
dividends this year are record-break-
ing in aggregate size and represent
the enormous increase of about $685.
100000 over the month a year ago,
prove most conclusively not only that
the nation is enjoying period Of
prosperity never before equaled in its
history, but also that the men at the
head of the big industrial establish
ments are confident that this is not
merely temporary prosperity" as
shown by their policy of paying out
increased earnings in dividends rath-
or than by diyertipg them to sur
plus as would be the natural and con-
servative thing to do If they feared
for the future of business.

fits to the cost of which taxpayers Of
the future should contribute.
The objection to construction sole
" by bond issues, Mr.. Mclean says.
is that The taxpayers of the future
may be called upon to pay in part
for the benefits which they do not re-
ceive, while a considerable interest
charge must be met. The immediate
improvement of the roads is attain
ed with so little additional taxation
that subsequent town boards fear
popular opposition to levying a rea-
sonable annual tax for maintenance.
The course advocated by Mr.. Nc
Lean is TO issue bonds for such work
as grading drainage and durable
bridges, Which may be considered of
permanent character. The fixed
charges due to the bond issue and the
estimated average cost of mainten-
ance should be raised by annual taxa
ton, together with whatever sum is
needed for construction not of a per-
manent nature. -

MR.. ROOT AND CURRENCY LEGls-
IATION

In their search for material for use
in the campaign, let not the Republi-
can managers overlook the speech in
opposition to the currency bill which
was made in the United States Sen
ate by Hon. Elihu Root, of New York.
The partisan press, when the speech
was delivered, hcralded the utterances
of Mr. Root as a crushing argument
against the currency measure. The dis
tnguished parry leader declared
among other things that the bill. if
enacted. would bring complete disas-
ter unto the people Of the United
States.
"Ah. Mr.. President" said Mr.. Root,
eve are turning our faces away from
the fundamental principle upon which
we have come to our high estate"
He also said: I'VE are turning them,
(our facos) weakly towards practices
which history shows have invariable
led to decadenec, to degradation. and
the downfall of nations. We are set
ting our steps now in the pathway
which through the protection Of a pa
tcrnal government brought the mighty
mower of Rome to its fall"
Poor old Rome! How many thou
sands of arguments have even great
minded men, not charlatans necessar-
lily, culled from the Eternal City's his
tory of decadence to thwart beneficial
Legislation which for selfish reasons
they have opposed!
But there were men to answer the
Rome objection. The President of the
United States was high in advocacy Of
the proposed measure and Democratic
senators were there to resist and over
throw the arguments of one of the
most astute attorneys of corporate in
terests and their demands that ever
was awarded a senatorial toga.
Time too has in the meanwhile
come along and with the resistless log
lie. of the experience that it has per
mitted the laws operations has prov
en- to the country and to the world
that those who advocated and enacted
the Federal Reserve law were wise in
their generation and statesmen il
their constructiveness.
VIII Mr.. Hughes make the law one
Of his campaign issues? If so, will he
quote from the Senate speech of Mr..
Root to give form, substance and pith
to his denunciation?

Hatfield party in West Virginia has
reason to feel that his hold Upon the
party is still mistaken, in spite OF
the efforts of Abe Lilly and some 9th
ers to pry him loose from his
position as state boss. And, in the
event of the election of Mr.. Hughes
to the presidency, Governor Hatfield,
as the original Hughes man in the
state, would be consulted as to the
dispensing of federal patronage. With
his hand on the jobs of both state
and nation, it doesn't look very much
as though Hatfield had been repudiated
in any way by the Republicans OF
West Virginia.

NO HOPE FoR pRooREsslvEs
