Wash. pom matter the Bix montha Hie etween the Grindstones Enact laws to relieve the people from bondage to the corpo: fations, and the higher courts wipe out the law Establish a court that decides for the people as against the Corporations, and the higher courts wipe out such decisions. The Pacific coast shippers of citrus fruits got from the interstate commerce commission a decision lowering railroad fates. It looked like a tremendous boom for thousands of owers. It was at least a prospect of relief from robbery. ‘aft’s court of commerce promptly punctured that decision The people of Spokane and other inland cities got a favor- able decision from the same commission in the matter of long and short hauls by the railroads. They celebraged with en thusiasm, for it meant more business and larger profits to thou- nds of shippers and lower prices to millions of consumers. ww ‘Taft's court of commerce knocks the life out of that de- cision. Big Business knew what it was about when it howled for treation of that court of commerce. Taft knew what he was about when he appointed that court of commerce. When laws and commissions are secured for the people, @ppoint courts that will emasculate them. That's the scheme. Messrs. Shippers and Consumers, the cards are stacked against you. ‘Taft will not let reduction of tariffs reduce the cost of living. His courts will not let any agency reduce the ofits on watered capital, which you surely pay. You are be- Teter the grindstones of corporation greed. Rise and recall the servile Taft and his whole galaxy of Packed courts! Rudolph Blankenburg, the reform mayor of Philadelphia, has a public-spirited wife, with ideas on the question of mu- Nicipal government. After election, he referred the reporters to her, and she cheerfully remarked that now she would have @ chance to carry her ideas into effect. It is inferred that she will be mayor, or, at least, the power behind the mayor's hand. Of course, we shall hear a lot about “petticoat govern- ment” if this happens, but if it turns out that Philadelphia— pt and contented”—shall become a shining light of Progress and humanity, the laugh will be on the other side. Philadelphia certainly’ needs something different.
