An Investigation u, the operutlon of the so-called Anti T ru st League was demanded by Republican Leader Maun la the House at the opening session, after a remarkable speech by Repre sentative M artin W Littleton, of New York, who charged Henry B. Martin, secretary of the league, with attempt ing to defame him Mr. Littleton as sailed M artin and others as In con spiracy to use the Steel Investigating committee to depress the value of stocks In W all Street.

He urged the enact meet of some sort of federal Incorpor ation act and the creation of a federal aorporatlon commission. Must Do Over Extra Session Work. Much of the work ot the eatra ses •Ion which President T sft called In order to pass the Canadian reciprocity agreement, must be done over again The President vetoed the tariff revl •Ion bills passed by the Democrats and the Republican Insurgents, and both factions are armed for the fray once more. The Democrats have a good work ing majority In the House, and the Important bills on their program will be passed quickly. Tariff and constructive corporation legislation are the two Items of gen eral interest standing out rront the rest In the line of serious business As soon ns President T aft sends In his ta riff message, following the report mnde to h'm by the ta riff board, the Di mocratx of the ways :iuil means committee wfll shape their program It is practically assured that whatever the ways and means committee puts forward, whether wholly in rapport with the tariff hoard findings or not, will pass the House. M any T a r iff Bills Coming. The probability”* ^ that there will bo a series of measures revising vnrt otis schedules In conformity with the plan followed Inst summer. The real tariff fight will follow In the Senate with the re m it uncertain now and with the Impending complications wearying to contemplate in view of the balance of power held by the In aurgentH and the lack of harmony In the ranks of the Senate Democrats. The corporation legislative prob lem Is even more vexing thun that pertaining to the tariff. The Presi dent and his friends are hopeful that non partisan public sentiment will force tho parties to co-operate and place a federal corporation law on the statute books. Panama Canal Legislation. The coming sesslnn Is expected to develop the first leglxlatlon for the operation, maintenance and govern ment of the Panama aanal and the canal zone.

HENEVERyou spring that old thing about the town being a “dead one,” pause to ruminate a moment upon your own relation to the case. Nine times out of ten the carping citizen who makes the criticism is one who never attended a meeting of the commercial club, never purchased a ticket to the fire men’s «lance, never «tempted to make it pleasant for the home-seeking stranger, never did anything to make Gold Hill a better, more attractive place to live. Thereis ju st one reason for the good old town’s somnolence—and that is you! Not a very good reason or hardly a sufficient one, as will be readily agreed. Street corner criticism flsws easier than water down hill and the town in which it is prevalent takes the same course. Some towns achieve prominence through a wealth of natural advantages whieh force them to the front willy-nilly. Others, like Gold Hill, constitute the great average. The only salvation for such a town, the only hope of ever lifting it above the average, lies in clean, strong, spiteless team work—one for all, and all for each. No contribution of effort, financial or other wise, is too small to be appreciated, felt in the general result. Public enterprises of a generally beneficial character are deserving every citizen’s prompt and con tinued support—regardless of the “returns" which may or may not follow upon the investment of three dollars in the city welfare. Get this in mind—success is not always financial by a long ways. To improve and increase public utilities, to beautify the city, to maintain a membership in the commercial club—these things predict with certainty a live and successful town, one above mediocrity. The benefits derived from this course cannot be computed in terms of m<iney, although they have a pronounced and active relation to the volume of business which gravit tates naturally to a good town. Gold Hill should be jus- such a town. There is no reason why it is not, save the curse of inactivity.
