UDGE GARY, in testifying before the Investigating Committee of the House, said he does not believe the Sherman act will ever fully prevent the or- ganization of great combinations of capital. He added: “I believe we must come to enforced pub- Nea and Governmental control of corporations, He SL yivive even as to prices.” Tho statement is interesting mainly because of the man that uttered it, It is a new evidence that the mind becomes “hued to that it works in, like dyer’s hand.” Men who are managing huge com- Dinations of cd-operative industry ate becoming so enamored of their work they can see nothing else. They wish the railroads, the banks, the great industries to be freed from the worries and the losses of competition, and centralized under a Governmental control that will at once regulate them and protect them, : The movement is a reaction toward a distant past. When the Plantagencts reigned in England, Parliament undertook to fix prices of food and labor and most other things. Laws were enacted against forestalling the markets. nd was tied up in entail so that it could not be sold. It was a good system for the ruling class, but not for other folks. If we are to repeat the experiment, care should be taken that the men who will own the trusts shall not also own the Gov- ernment. The lesson taught to our ancestors in that respect ought to suffice for remotest posterity. — OMPTROLLER AND BUREAU. ‘ OMPTROLLER PRENDERGAST intimates that the tax rate next year will necessarily be higher than the present rate. But the Bureau of Municipal Research declares there is no law of necessity in the matter. What is needed, according to the bureau, is not more money, but more results. Ample evidence comes to light continuously from week to week to justify the conclusion of the bureau. No broad searchlight in- vestigation, nor any minute X-ray scrutiny into current affairs, has been required to reveal that evidence. It seems to come out of itself in some cases, and in others to be squeezed out by the force of cir- cumstances, but it comes abundantly. We find it in surveying the water problem, or the park management, or the schools, or street work, or even in the fields of charity and philanthropy. The Comptroller should take a second thought and revise his review of the situation. A higher tax rate may be fixed for the com- ing year, but the power that did the fixing resembles necessity only in eo far as it knows no law and doesn’t care a cent. oo CROOKED WALKS AND WAYS. AYOR GAYNOR says: “I do not like to walk in a park. I do not like winding roads. I like to see where I am going. Crooked roads are irksome.” Most people that like to walk will sympathize with the Mayor in that feeling, but it is not easy to explain the preference. It seems to be a matter of temperament, but the record shows it to be a matter of race. The French lay out their great parks and forests with long, straight avenues that go directly to some point of vantage or of pleasure. They inherit the system from the gardener that laid out Versailles and Chantilly. The British, on the other hand, have made winding walks a distinctive feature of all their landscape work, whether in planning a garden or making a road through a forest, Americans have followed the British plan. From Central Park to Golden Gate Park the same principle prevails. Every park is one of winding ways. Most folks doubtless prefer that style, but then most folks do not walk. Still the English walk more than the French. On one point, however, all authorities will agree; it is better to walk even a crooked course than to be jammed like cattle in a car and have no walk at all.
