"Conipol bnnkcr.i, when isninr MTnriiies, lo ninl.o public the commiMim or prof it I hoy iir rcceivititf.

TImh, nr-conting to I.ui. I). Itrnn dci, in the ontx of the "publicity medicine'' which should he applied to rid tho country of the evils of n "money truit." Attorney llrnuilci in the fifth of hi 'erics of articles on "Breaking the Money Trust. ' which appears in Hnnr's Weekly todav, discusses "What Publicity Can Do." Publicity n Itemed? "Publicity is jntly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases," claims Attorney Urnndei. "And publicity hns nltvndv plnyed an impnrtnnt part in the struggle against the money trust. Through the di. closure of fncts by the Pujo money trut invcstigsJtion, concernine finan cial concentrary, Attorney Uramlus believes an important steo has been made toward ultimate attainment of tho new freedom. Publicity nttend ini these disclosures, according to lkandeis, hns meant that "the battle field has been sun-eyed nnd charted tho hostile forces have been Joontcd and appraised." Put there must be a further call upon publicity for ser vice, pleads Brandeis. "That potent force," he snvs, "must, in the im pending struggle, be utilized in many ways as a continuous measure." Pointing out that "combination nnd control of other people's money nnd business, and tho wealth of the in vestment banker arc the main factors in i no development or the mono" trust," Brandeis declares thnt it has been the great wealth of the house of Morgan that has mnde possible the powerful alliances with great fin nncinl institutions. The main cause of such large fortunes, he asserts, is tho huge tolls charged by those who control the avenues to capital nnd investors "n toll that is literally 'all that tho traffic will bear ". Contin uing, Brandeis snys: ExccMira Charges "The question is asked: Why have these excessive charges been submit ted tot Doubles because of banker control; exercise through interlock ing directorates, or kindred relations, nnd indirectly through combinations among bankers to supples competi tion. The investor's servility is duo probably to hid ignornnco of facts. Coming to tho remedy for these evils, Brandeis snys: "Tho bankers' c ompensntion should, of course, vary according tho risk ho assumes. Where there is n largo risk that the bonds or stock will not bo promptly sold at the issue price, the underwriting commission (that is, tho insurance premium) should bo correspondingly large. But the banker ought not to be paid more lor getting investors to assume a larger risk. Now the Inw should not uiiuunuKo (except incidentally in connection with railroads and public sen-ice corporations) to fix banker': profits. And it should not seek to prevent investors from making bad bnrguins. But it is now recognized in the simplest merchandising thnt thero should be full disclosures. Re quire a full disclosure to the investor of tho amount of commissions and profits paid, and not only will invest ors be put on thoir guard, but bank ers' compensation will tend to ndjttsf itself nutomnticnlly to what is fair and reasonable." 15.000 FO NT OF $1 7,500 SALARY BKHLIN, Dec. 17. Justice .lames Witt. -on erard, I'nelo Sam's antha n dor to Oermnny, will not bo "home less" much longer. Ho ha- found a "home'' in which the American eagle can servant without being ashamed of himself, and which is rapidly be ing put into shape for occupation. A real estate agent has pocketed a fat commi ton nnd a latulloril or rather a landlady is happy to have so profitable a tenant. But that is only otto of the little troubles that makes the new ambas sador or minister regret tho contri bution he made to the campaign fund. Ambassador Gerard's demands m the way of a house were mode-t. Al though ho pays j-lo.OOO of his $17, 000 salary as rent, the new American embassy would not attract even tss ing notice for exterior elegance on Fifth avenue or the principal re-i-dence street of other American cities. Gerard's hou-c-huntitig troubles have been similar to those of Page in Lon don, Penfield in Vienna, where the American embassy it still in a hotel, nnd of Minister Vopickn in Buchar est and of the new nmbassndor to St. Petersburg. Berlin is looked upon as more or less of a "hoodoo" among Uncle Sam's foreign post's. Probably more ambassadors "fell down" or failed to "mnke good" in Berlin in recent years than in -any other cnpitnl. Charlemagne Tower was more or less ridiculed in tho American press for his cxclusivcness, the social dash he cut and decking himself out in a blue nnd gold uniform and gilt sword. Da vid Jnyne Hill, scholar and states man of dignity nnd ability, had not much more than settled himself down before he was called upon to re-ign. it wns snid, for a "successor who could contribute more to the repub lican campaign fund. Under John O. A. Leishmnn, ittsburg steel magnate, who was fond of claiming the late' J. Pierpont Morgan as his iwrsonal friend, the Berlin embassy was virtu ally ignored by the big American col ony because of the laleged anti American attitude of Lei-hman's wife nnd two daughters. Perhaps under no nmbsasador was the Ameri can embassy as unpopular with Americans as under I.eishman. Suits nnd charges in Xew York nnd Paris pave rise to reports that he was us. ing his official po-ition with ndvan tngo in speculating on the stock mar ket. The engagement nnd marriage of. his daughter Xancv to Duke Karl of Croy, made such talk nnd incurred the displeasure of the kniser. who failed to receive Leishmnn in the cus tomary farewell audience nnd did not "ive him nnv token of his regard as he did Hill and Tower. HOUSTON OUTLINES FEDERAL POLICY ON GOOD ROUTES WASHINGTON, Dec, 17 rotary of ncrtrttlturo In Ids nutitin J report devotes a sporlitl chapter lo ' good roads. For 'JO vonrs, It Is , stated, there tins beeit a steady growth In the gooil-rours movement, so thnt today about 34 states have highway commissions or sotuo other form of highway agency. State np proprlntlotts for road work have In-' creased trout two million 10 years ago to forty-three million tn VJ12. i The relation ot the federal govern-, mettt to road construction and rond I management Is pointed out, j The federal government should take the lend In Investigational and ' experimental work and shotiM do-) volop principles of co-operation with the states In matters of educational and demonstrntlonal work, tt seems desirable that tho federal govern ment should deal with the statu as the lowest unit, through nn expert highway commission ns Its ngenry. This policy would eliminate the diffi culty of the federal government's de termining local Issues ns well as the danger of undue centralized federnl control. In order to stimulate this policy and to prevent undue Inroads on tho federal treasury, federnl aid, when ever extended for construction nn I maintenance, should be furnished on condition that tho states provide nil appropriation ivt least douhlo that voted by tho federal government. This would furnish nu automatic cheek. The plan should provide for main tenance ns well as construction, lit In order to prevent the possibility ot tho construction of roads many ot which tuny wear out before the bonds placed upon them are paid.
