Tlui't one of the most important pieces of work ever undertaken by any br;uicli of the government is con templated by Joseph E. Davics, feder al commissioner of corporations, is Riven as the belief of Senator La Folcttc, contained in a signed editor ial in La Folctc's Weekly. Senator La Kolette declares that an investi gation conducted by Mr. Davies will result in relieving the people from any "further tribute on fictitious wealth and inflated values." "If Commissioner Davies is em powered to carry out the plan out Jincd in his speech at Atlantic City a few clays ago, the bureau of cor porations will enter upon one of the most important features of work ever undertaken by any branch of our gov ernment," says the senator. "Mr. Da vics contemplates an investigation of trusts and combinations which shall determine first, whether the concen tration of industry in the hands of a few corporations has had economical results, and second, whether the pub lic lias been benefitted by the results. "Since its creation eleven years ago, this branch of the department of commerce has made separate investi gations of great value, including the beef, tobacco, lumber, steel, Stand ard Oil, water power, harvester and other trusts. These Investigations have furnished the public authorita tive facts regarding each specific in dustry, but tip to this time the gov ernment ban not attended to correl ate the facts in relation to the whole big problem of industrial monopoly. This, Commissioner Davics proposes to do, and to extend the investigation to cover the whole field of industrial combination. If undertaken in a sci entific spirit and carried forward with the assistance of the nation's ablest and best economists and investigators, this work will he of immense value to congress in dealing with a radical and effective way with the next big problem to be dealth with, before the country can become industrially free. "Such an investigation should de termine the value of these great prop erties. We should know the actual amounts that have been invested, and to what extent we suffer from extor tionate prices because of ovcrcaptali laliou. The people are willing to pay a fair return on legitimate values., but they should mi lunger be compelled to pay tribute on fictitionus wealth and inflated values. In outlining this far-reaching work. Mr. Davies has shown a far-reaching breadth of view and a comprehension of the possibil ities of his bureau that will receive general public commendation." o Administrator's Notice.

Are you going to vote in the coming city election? If you are, then why don't you reg ister. It is estimated that nearly 1000 more eligible voters of the city of Albany have not thus far registered and there is only about . 10 more days before the books close. The election is to be held on December 1 and the books will close at 6 o'clock on No vember 22. That the women who have ' been rather scarce in the registration boo'h as compared to their activity when the books first opened was the state ment this morning by Mrs. Harrier Van Tassel, one of the tegistraticn clerks in City Recorder Vaa Tassel's office. "For awhile," said Mrs. Van Tas sel, "the women gave the men a close race in number of registrations but now there are nearly twice as many men as women. If the women don't come in faster many of them wi:! not have a chppce to vote." At presiit there is a total -f D28 registered. Ot this .iuinb.-.r 700 arc men and 28 are votticn. City Recorder Van Tassel stated this morning that there should be at least 2000 registered voters by the time, the books close but that from the present progress, the indications are for only about 1500. "It will either be that number." said the recorder, "or there will be an awful rush toward the end. During the past few days the regis tration clerks have hardly been busy all of the time, so slow has the reg istration progressed. The officials wish to urge those who contemplate registering to come as early ?.s pos sible and avoid a probable rush to wards the end. The books will close at 6 o'clock sharp on the tvven:y-src-ond and if there happens to be a srowd waiting to be registered at the ex piration of the time, tiiey will not be sworn in.
