GRAND RAPIDS. federal government; that frequent re-| ports of the condition and operations of trusts should be made by examiners appointed for that purpose and that when a corporation becomes a mon- oply its permit to do an interstate business should be forfeited. Gover- nor Roosefelt of New York and Gov- ernor Nash of Ohio have spoken strongly in their messages in favor of} publicity. Thus we have trust magnets, the democratic national leader and re pub- | lican governors all agree upon one} point—the value of publicity as a cor- rective for the trust evil. It is not claimed by any of these that publicity | will do away with trusts, but they do maintain that it will afford the public a measure of protection against some | of the gravest impositions practiced by unscrupulous promoters and trust of- ficials. Where there is such unanimity on widely different interests, political and otherwise, itis to be presumed that there must be merit in the idea. It may be interesting, then, to mention some of the advantages of publicity from the standpoint of the public. Under present conditions the great corporations are managed as secretly as the business of an individual. The average stockholder knows absolutely | nothing about the details of the enter {asked to contribute to the financing of |tion in congress should be enforced tor fraud. Possessing knowledge, the investing public could protect itself. While care should be taken to pro- tect corporations in the private posses- sion of legitimate information that may give them an advantage over competitors, it should be made pos: | sible at the same time to open the books to any stockholder who desires in good faith to know about the con-} duct of the business in which his money is investec. The affairs of a partnership or a small corporation may not be the con- cern of the public, but the rule does not apply to a mighty corporation with its millions of stock in the market inviting The nation 1s investment. such institutions and all the people are its customers. The people being so directly interested 1m the operations of these great trusts, they have a right to demand, through their state and na- | tional government, that their opera- ticns be conducted in secret no longer. It is refreshing to know that the two | greatest of trust magnets hold to that very opinion. TRIBUTES TO MR. TOWNE.
