THE SPIRIT OF COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
The Atlanta Journal expresses the thought that the
onward march of Commission Government is sweeping
forward even those cities which refuse to accept its form
to greater progress and efficiency.
The march of this idea has been steady and far
reaching and no doubt the Journal is correct in feeling
that its spirit is manifested, even when its form is re
jected. There is no question that the success of Commis
sion Government has spread its contagion and that citi
zens and tax payers, everywhere, are aroused to a reali
zation that their city governments must be run with less
waste and better results.
It is up to those who resist substituting simple and
direct machinery for the clumsy and ineffectual methods
of the councilmanic system to show how government
under the old plan can be made to serve without loss
and waste. It is up to them to see that graft is diminish,
ed and that the public does not discern how it bears the
burden of political debts and political favors. This gives
a brace to city government everywhere, simply because
the commission idea has sounded the warning of its ap
proach, and the continuance of the old system depends
upon keeping up a fairly good show of square and busi
ness like management.
But we can hope for nothing better than spasms of
good behavior until we put in direct and simple ma
chinery.
The old system nearly makes good, in so far as it is
made to respond to the public will. The system of Com
mission Government, with the recall, in the hands of the
people, does not have to be made to respond to the pub
lic will and does not depend upon the more or less tem
porary condition of public consciousness of errors.
It affords no hiding places, no elaborations, by
which the mystified public is kept from understanding.
The commissioners are direct agents of the people un
hampered by restrictions and burdened, solely, with the
responsibility of keeping the people satisfied with the re
suits of their management. If they run away with the
power in their hands they are subject to the sudden halt
of the recall. Consequently they make good all the
time while the cumbersome system of representation by
wards makes good only when the public is on the look out
and in a mood to insist upon being heeded.

BEGIN ON TRADE
mem
Work of Drafting Most Impor
tant Measure of Administra
tion Trust Program Started.
Washington.—Work of drafting an
Inter-state trade commission bill for
the administration trust program was
undertaken today by a house com
merce aub-comnilttec. Representa
tive Covington, of Maryland, the
chairman was ready with data com
piled after a careful study of the sub
ject, examination of various bills al
ready Introduced and a conference
with President Wilson.
Views of the president who has ltr
dloated that the trade commission bill
Is first In Importance among the pro
posed messures and expected to pre
vail 1n the bill when the sub-commit
tee reports It. It is proposed to
have only big business subject to the
Jurisdiction of the trade commission,
but how a limit shall be fixed re
mains sn open question.
Under $5,000,000.
The president has suggested the
> dlfleulty of framing a limitation in
terms of dollars and that it might be
Impracticable to exempt all concerns
tinder $50,000,000 capitalization from
the commission's Inquisitorial powers.
Some of the main provisions likely
to be embodied In the sub-commit
tee’s draft of the bill it was under
stood, would require:
That all corporations. Joint stock
companies and corporate combina
tions subject to the terms of the bill
annually report all required informa
tion. statements and records of their
organization, bondholders and stock
holders, business practices and rela
tions to other concerns of the same
class and answer uncritically all
questions the commission may ask at
any time.
Within 30 Days.
That failure to comply within 30
days of the required time he deemed
a misdemeanor, subject to a Tine of
not exceeding SI,OOO for every day
of failure to comply.
"That upon Its own initiative or
upon reasonable complaint the com
mission 'may' and upon the attorney
general’s request, 'sihall' Investigate
the organization, conduct and man
agement of any concern subject to its
jurisdiction and if any such is (pund
violating the law the commission
shall report to the attorney general,
setting forth these practices and
what conduct and re-adjustment is
necessary for the offending concern
to continue business. This report is
to be made public only upon the at
torney general's direction.
Under President’s Direction.
That if the commission during an
investigation should obtain informa
tion concerning unfair competition
and practices not necessarily viola
tive of the existing law, it would re
port this information to the president
upon whose direction alone it would
be made public.
That courts be authorized in an
equity suit brought at the instance
of the attorney general to refer, either
during progress of the cause iV after
Judgment to the commission any
aspect of the litigation or any pro
posed decree, the commission to re
port Its finding to the court, to be
come part of the record In the cause.
That the commission report annual
ly to congress by December Ist. giv
ing statistics that would not contra
vene limitations on publicity nnd rec
ommending any necessary additional
legislation.
That the commission have as to mi
these concerns the same power and
authority as tho present law confers
on the inter-state commerce commis
sion as to railroad and other common
carriers.
OUR HISTORY THAT NEVER WAS.
"Don't give up the ship!" cried
I-awrenee. Wait until 1914 and give
up the Panama Canal.
"We have met the enemy, wrote
Perry, "and presented him with our
right to use the future waterway
across the isthmus."
"Stand, the ground's your own.
my braves.’ said Warren. "That,
however, is no reason that you
should not surrender the riparian
rights to Great Britain if that gov
ernment sees fit to demand them.” I
