Mr. Hayes said that less than 2 per cent, of the Congregationa] churches pay ministers an annual salary §2,000 and upwards; more than half not over $1.000, and one quarter not inore than $500, “The underlying reason why member of the Grand Army of the Republic receives a pension with the general approval of the people is the nation's sense of obligation.

Laws are Vague. “No lawyer, court or president can tell him "he said, “and while his transactions may clearly be proper, morally and financially, the laws are So vague that that ome government official can take one position and an- other government official exactly the oppasite position and the courts can do and are doing precisely the same thing.

They saw new evils creeping into the business world and instead of striking at those evils they tried by man-made laws ta wipe out God-given economics. The law should have supplemented the com- mon law so as to make it eriminal to issue watered stock, or to issue false annual statements; should have required federal incarporation with the fullest publicity and strict gov- ernment regulation in the case of large interests and international in- dustrial companies where ownership is widespread.” All the bille proposing tariff boards and tariff commissions, Mr. Perkins said, fail to provide fgr sufMcient latitude and power He said such a body should be non-partisan, with ample authority and facilities to deal with the subject “in a big way.” He said it should be a sort of tariff court to which peaple of any industry may at any time apply and which may take steps to have congress act promptly where injustice has been found and rellef shown necessary. Congress, he sald, should delegate to it, general supervision of preparation of tarift schedule and be guided by its expert advice, Hulabaloo for 20 Years. “Crowding the tariff hard for first place as a trump card for politicians,” he added, “has been the hulabaloo kept up all over our land for 20 years over the Sherman law What has come of it all?

All of you are responsible because vou let politics go hang.” Saying he held no brief for the Standard Oil company, he suggested that while it may have done any number of things wrongful, it had been a phenamenal commercial suc- cess and the government might have tried the experiment of regulating and controlling it.
