Among tlie constructive achieve ments of the recent session of congress was the Hughes-Borah bill for the creation of an Industrial commission to Inquire Into the relations of labor and capital In this country. In the hustle attending the m.-ed of the session the fact that this far-lghted measure was passed missed general recognition. the public sentiment for a settlement. In any event It would prove a strong force for good. In the beginning the commission as formed will routine Its energies to a broad investigation of the whole field of capital and labor. It Is armed with a $100,000 appropriation for its first year's work. Its task must be com pleted In two years. Many prominent economists and social workers were of the opinion that such a big job would take at least three years to accom plish, but the senate decided on two. In thy- house the bill had been handi capped by a provision limiting the com wag, profits, hours of labor, shop and factory conditions, and even go so far afield as to investigate immigration and the question of the Influx of Asia tics on the Pacific coast. It Is planned to make the Inquiry both deep and far- reaching, so that in the end some defin ite answer may be given to one of the most pr.es.sing problems of the day. The task Is big, but ultimately all the labor should be well worth whil ). DIXOX IS (HEEKITL.

Everyone knows that such a Bum will not buy the ser vices of a really well-equipped student ami investigator so the friends of the measure united to eliminate this feat ure from the final bill. They were successful and now the commission Is at liberty to pay an able employe what he is worth. That will probably tavc next. I'ntll then she will remain In vaudeville with a sketch.

The communcaton follows: Th Now York Herald prints its own poll regarding results throughout the nation In the November election. As the Herald Is bitterly opposed to iooBevelt's election, it certainly can not be suspected of partiality for the Progressive cause. Based on the Her ald's poll, Roosevelt will lead Taft In New York tate by 2:19,000 plurality. The poll gives Roosevelt 10,000 plur ality over Wilson and 22,000 plurality over Taft in Connecticut. It gives Hoosevelt plurality over Taft In In diana. It shows Taft running a bad third in every single state, except Wy oming and Ohio, where he taks sec ond place by narrow margin. Our own polls Invariably show much larg er percentages than does the Herald. It really looks like landslides In soma states, especially In great industrial centers.
