NAGEL HAS A TRUST SOLUTION.
The next step in the solution of
the problem of the United States, in
the opinion of Secr-'ary of Commerce
and Labor Nagel as outlined in his
annual report to the president is the
creation of a permanent federal agen
cy for the 'continuous supervision of
the great interstate corporations.
According to Nagel, "the mere
breaking up of large combinations in
to separate parts by no means meets
the whole trust question," and the oil
and tobacco decisions, he thinks, have
convinced the public of the need of
some such supervision. He recom
mends that the Bureau of Corpora
tions be developed to do this work, as
it would be a logical expansion of that
bureau's operation and policy.
Touching the imigration service,
the secretary ask3 that any amend
ments may relieve Immigrants of un
due hardships without letting down
the bars against undesirables. Inves
tigations of great popular interest are
going on as to the C03t of living, la
bor conditions in the iron and steel
industry, the employment of women
and pirls in lare-pr pitips and na tn
industrial diseases.
During the last half of the calendar
year, or first half of the fiscal year,
the receipts of the government ex
ceeded expenses by about $22,000,000,
not counting the Panama Canal op
eration. This compares with a de
ficit of $3,870,000 for the last half of
1910. The main sources of the change
were the decrease of $10,000,000 in
customs and the increase of $8,000,000
-in naval expenditures. The Panama
Canal has cost to now $260,000,000,
of which $120,000,000 came from the
general fund of the treasury.
The President closed the postal
year by signing an order forbidding
the 10,000 rural letter carriers from
"pernicious activity in politics." It
empowers the Civil Service Commis
sion to dismiss to get rid of any of
these carriers found thus active. The
order also provides that hereafter in
making appointments to that service
three eligibles must be certlfTed in
stead of one as heretofore.
CHINESE patriots in San Francisco are very much up to date. They hav
Issued a revolutionary poster, of which copies are for sale in most of
the Chinese shops. The proceeds are devoted to the financing of the
rebellion. The portrait is that of Li Yuen Hong, the chief military
commander of the insurgents. The flags at either side are the banners of the
provisional government after the design which has been adopted by the Young
China association, many of whose members in America wish to see a republic
established in China. The pictures below the portrait (which, of course, are
not a part of the poster) are those of the chiefs of naval and military affairs
at Peking.. The names from left to right are: Ying Chang, president of the
war ministry, late commander in chief; Tsai Pu, second son of Prince Cliiug;
Prince Tsai Hsuen, head of naval affairs; Prince Tsai Jin, Prince Tsai Tao,
late military councilor (the last three uncles of the emperor); Duke Ling, Prince
Pu and Tarn Heao Heng, subpresident of the navy.
Last year was a good one for avia
tion, but a bad one for aviators.
The Democratic House talks econ
omy. President Taft finds ways to
practice it.
Straw votes have begun to appear,
and 1912 may now be considered for
mally opened.
Admiral Evans disliked his nick
name of Fighting Bob, but his coun
trymen always felt that it wa3 a good
fit.
SIS HOPKINS NEXT WEEK.
Rose Melville in Greatest Success
Opens at Baker Today, Matinee.
Mr. J. R. Stirling, manager of Miss
Rose Melville, who created the char
acter of Sis Hopkins and who is tour
ing for the eleventh "season in the
play of Indiana country life, has pub
lished a note of warning to managers
throughout the country that he alone
controls the rights to the title of Sis
Hopkins, and that he is the manager
of Miss Melville's tours. This an
nouncement has been made necessary
by the number of road companies
which attempted to pirate the title
v Those who believe that Colonel
Bryan is out of the running will wake'
up some fine spring morning with a
new idea in mind.
Earthquakes in mild form are mov
ing around the earth. There appears
to be a necessity for physical as well
as economic readjustments.
In spite of all that Martin J. Little
ton can do the eyes of the country
are more steadily fixed on the Oyster
Bay end of his district than on Mr.
Littleton himself.
Young China and Young Turkey
are in evidence and the world N will
wait before deciding that no young
blood remains in Persia.
Mr. Bryan says he knows of no con
ditions that call for him as a candi
date in 1912. But conditions may
suddenly change, and after 1912 come
1916, 1920 and other presidential
years.
So many millions are asked by the
Cherokees and the heirs of John Se
vier, first governor of Tennessee, that
items about these claims suggest the

Why the Price of
Everything Has
Risen
Output of
Gold Is
Cause
By Professor
CHARLES GIDE of Univer
sity of Paris N
CHE rise in the price of everything cannot be ascribed to local
factors, such as adverse climatic conditions, tariffs, strikes,
etc., for the simple reason that all countries in America and
Europe are equally affected.
The cause of such universal effects must also be UNIVERSAL,
and what is more universal than GOLD as a recognized instrument of
mutual exchange, common to all people ?
The output of gold, which was only 500,000,000 francs ($100,
000,000) in 1882-3, is at present two milliards and a half ($500,000,
000), and during the last twenty years over THIRTY MILLIARDS
OF FRANCS ($6,000,000,000) IN" GOLD COLN" HAS BEEN"
PUT -INTO CIRCULATION. This amount represents onlv one part
ol the total output, another good share having gone into the vaults of
the banks as a guarantee for paper money issued.
THE ONLY REMARKABLE THING IN THE PRESENT CASE IS
THAT, OWING TO THE GREAT DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY AND
EXCHANGE, PRICES HAVE ONLY INCREASED FROM 20 TO 25 PER
CENT, WHILE THEY MIGHT HAVE INCREASED TENFOLD HAD THE
"unt or tUKntNUY NOW IN CIRCULATION BEN PUT ON THE
MARKET A CENTURY AGO.

GETTING RICH
A few get rich quickly, out it is generally done on the Install--ment

ing the bank balance step by step.
Many a man has lost what he accumulated by trying to be his
own banker. It's hard to accumulate money out of a bank.
