lt MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MECTORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, .19.10. u ,! i IS ROOSEVELT AN EXTREME RADICAL? That Is Question Which Is Now Giving Politicians Much Concern His Stand Will Soon Bo Out lined Completely. ' WASHINGTON, Sect. 17. Whether or not Colonel KooscvcU Tims constructed a plntforra which is bo radical, if not revolutionary, that the regulars will refuse to stand on it, and whether this menus that he side tho two old parties there will bo in tho field for the next presi dential election a now liberal or pro- crrasaivA rmrtv nindc ud from the projjressivcs gathered up every where, is a question which just now is pvinj; tho political prophets much concern. It is ono thine to attract the ap plause 6fthe multitudo and it is another thine; to Ramer in the votes o fthose same men who did the shoutinj?. Colonel Bryan found that to be true. And yet Without doubt there are a lot of progressive sonators and representa tives who will come out from under cover next December. In fact, they are coming; out right alone;. Thejt Lavo felt that the party was not keeping up with the development of advanced thought unions the people, Lut they have hesitated about de claring themselves, as the recogniz ed "insurgents" and "progressives' iuve done. Some of them philander ed for a time, flirting with the lib eral clement, only to be warned bac's into tho ranks of conservatism bv tho demands of the regulars when the latter were in undisputed roatiX)! of tho party machinery- Bat the -whole country seems to bo in tho mad xnsh toward a more radically repre sentative system of government, and the former president is leading the movement. He is excelled by no one in making an accurate, shrewd esti mate of the state of public opinion. Colonel Booscvclt has discovered what the peoplo want. The acclaim which met bis recent utterances ap tparently proved that, and he is the nan to cast his fortunes with the powerful public, whose applause makes or mars the fortunes of those who appeal to it. Reforms Urged by Mr. Roosevelt Pollowlug aro tho principles upon which Mr. Itoosovolt In his recent speeches saj'8 "wo must tight or fall": Elimination of special Interests from politics. Comploto and effective publicity of corporation affairs. Pnssngo of lawo prohibiting tho uso of corporate funds directly or In directly for political purposes. Government supervision of tho enp Italliatlon not only of public servlco corporations, but of all corporations doing an lutorstato business. Personal responsibility of officers and directors of corporations for any vlolntlon of tho law. Increase In tho power of tho fed eral bureau of corporations and the Interstate commerco commission to control Industry moro effectively. Revision of the tarlfff.ono schedule at a tlino, on tho basis of Informa tion furnished by an export tariff commission. Graduated lncomo tax and gradu ated lnherltnnco tax, Increasing ns tho fortunes grow. Readjustment of tho country finan cial system In such a way as to pro vent a repetition of periodical fi nancial panics. Maintenance of an offlclont army anil a navy largo enough to Insure for tho nation tho respect of other nations, as a guarnntco of peace. Uso of nntlonal resources for tho bonoflt of all the peoplo. Extension of tho work of tho de partment of agriculture nnd of ag ricultural colleges and oxporlmont stations so as to tnko In all phases of farm Ufa on tho farm. Regulation of tho terms and con ditions of labor by mcano of com prehonBlvo workmen's compensation acts, stato and national laws to regu late child labor and tho work of women, onforcomont of bettor sani tation conditions for workers and ex tension of tho uso of safety appli ances in Industry. Clear division of authority be tween tho nation and stato govern ments. Direct primaries, associated with corrupt practices acts. Publicity of campaign contribu tions, not only nfter election, but before tho olectlon as well, Prompt removal of unfaithful and Incompetent public servants. Provisions against tho performance of any servlco for Interstato corpo rations or tho reception of any com pensation from such corporations by national officers. is little stop strength daily, and thoro probability that anything ean it. If tho movement is oue calcu lated to bring prosperity to the country it will endure;, if it be tho lure of fnlso prophets, it will pass nway. But in any event, a large m.d nerhans controllimf element of the people is determined to have a change. Perhaps it would be ns well to recognize that this is their temper now as at some later time.
