THE NEED EXISTS

Business to be successful has al
ways required the use Of brains, OF
practical minds rather than those Of
the theorist. In recent years there
has come recognition Of the need Of
the mind Of the scholar, not in
theoretical vaporings but in re-
search. Not that conclusions so ar
rived at will always be found ap-
plicable in all respects but are
worthy Of consideration.
The conclusions Of Prof. William
z. Ripley Of Harvard are seen to be
that which should receive careful
consideration. Recently he called
attention to evil possibilities in the
issue Of non-voting stocks. In the
Atlantic Monthly for September he
writes Of the lack Of adequate re-
ports Of corporations and urges that
such, for the benefit of investors,
should be required by the Federal
Government. suggesting that this
may be done by the Federal Trade
SOIuILlSSlOI. llAS 10 StfAhS Jaw ~
widespread comment.
It Is said that President Coolidge
is giving the matter consideration
but is mindful Of the limitations OF
the Federal Government, as, except
for few corporations. most cor
porations are under the State rather
than the Federal Government
Manifestly concerns permitted the
use Of the mails are under tacit obli-
cation to avoid deceiving the public
by means Of inadequate or false re-
ports respecting their actual fin
ancial condition. The Federal COM
mission could ask for such reports
but what about compelling them?
Neither Is 1t to be wished that a
corps of highly paid experts shall go
about messing in private affairs. The
reports Of a corporation, however,
are not, on several grounds, private
Affairs. Prot. Ripley may have
overestimated the need Of this
supervision but he has convinced us
that such a need exists.

SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN Is ON

Ex-Governor Baxter announces
his candidacy for the seat in the
Senate vacated by the death Of Sem
ator Fernald and the indications
are, that Hon. Frank E. Guernsey,
formerly representative in the Ma
tional House from Names Fourth
District, will later appeal to the
Republican voters for support; that
Fulton ]. Redman, the Democratic
candidate against Fernald in 1924,
will again be a candidate. Whether
others will enter the field remains a
subject Of discussion.
Governor Bakers announcement
was expected from the first. 1t Is
a dignified appeal, as might be ex-
pected, and bespeaks his confidence
in support regardless Of locality.
Mr.. Guernsey is said to be WITHHOLD
Ing his announcement until after the
call for the Senatorial primary.
There have been reports that Con-
gressmen White and Nelson enter
tanned Senatorial aspirations. For
these there appears to have been
foundation in the case Of Mr.. White
If not Of Mr.. Nelson. Col. Frank
NJ. Hume is also said to be con-
sidering candidacy for the Senate.
Certain features Of the peculiar stu
alton appear to embarrass the aspira-
tions Of any, who may be candidates
for the House at the election, Sept.
10. in that they would appear as
candidates both for the House and
for the Senate. through no fault on
their part. In the two weeks re-
naming it would be practically i'm
possible to get out new ballots for
the September election in event Of a
resignation Of a Congressman te
enter the Senatorial campaign. In
this view Of the situation, they would
be justified in Withholding resigna'
ton and announcement until aftel
the election, but obviously would be
at some disadvantage by reason Of
the delay.

Editorial Comment
Mr.. Madden VS.. Mr.. Mellon
ID1,hlin I E.l0al.l

II ONA4N l1NHSSN
Congressman Madden favors no
more tax cuts till the war debts are
completed. He wants the Govern
ment to know what it can depend up
on in the way of debt payments
before another reduction is made.
Then, when refunding is completed,
he would change the present policy
of Secretary Mellon, who has been
using every dollar Of surplus and
every cent OF foreign payments he
could lay hands on to whipe out the
national debt.
Mr.. Madden would stop this. He
would take the expected interest pay
ments of S150,000.000 a year and
apply these, not to debt reduction but
to tax reduction. In other words,
Mr.. Madden has gone over to the
position of the Democrats in the
last Congress. What he favors is
the spreading of our own debt pay
ments over a long term of years,
instead of paying off that debt as
fast as possible, as Secretary Mellon
has sought to do.
Incidentally. this would give Con-
gress much more money to spend
while it could at the same time make
a small tax reduction based on for
eign interest payments. To the
chairman of the House Appropria-
tions Committee this would be pleas
ing. 1t would please his colleagues
also. but 1t is hardly the wlsest
policy.
Secretary Mellon believes the Coy:
ernment's first duty is to pay or
its Liberty Bonds. He has been
viping out 100-cent dollar obliga-
tions with 67-cent dollars. He has
been thinking of the future and cut
ting down the Nations fixed charges
Congress is thinking about appro-
priations. The Secretary's position
is sounder than that of Mt. Madden.

NATIVES INVADE
TANGIER TO AID
GENERAL STRIKE
Officials Admit Union
Sole Authority

TANGIER, Sept. 2.-The European
Workers Syndicate has declared an
other general strike here, contingent
on the failure of the administration
and the Sultan's court to accept their
demands for the eight-hour day and
more freedom of speach, abolition Of
the laws against demonstrations, and
interference with organization.
News from the country has been re-
ceived that the great Fahs tribe is
marching with arms into the city to
see to It that their Moslem brothers,
cooperating with the European work
ers on strike, are not any further mis-
treated.
Neutral But Has Glass War.
Tangier is a neutral territory, with
an administration composed of the
foreign eonsuls in the port, and a
judiciary controlled by the Mendub, or
representative of the Sultan of Nor
Deco, who is a French feature. Native
guilds, on friendly terms with the
European Workers Syndicate, have
frequently complained of discrimina-
ton against workers in this native
court. The administration regularly
supports the court in such cases.
Tangier is an important seaport,
thru which much of the commerce of
North Africa and the Sahara region
passes. 1t is of military strategic i'm
portance, and the warships of England
and France are assembling there in
response to a deal between Spain and
France which has the apparent pur.
pose of turning it over to Spain.
Strikes and reyolts are therefore like
ly to attract international interest.
An inspired statement to foreign
news services says:
There is undoubtedly an element of
Communism among the workmen, but
so far law and order have been OBJ
served. These repeated strikes, how
ever, are injuring commerce and caus-
ing a growing feeling of unrest.
THE sole body which seems able to
exert any authority in Tangier is the
Workers Syndicate"
