Actively Disagrees" With Hla Vlawa
About Truata and "Waatea of Com
petition' and Supports the Candl
dacy of Wilaon and Marshall
Collier's Is out for Wilson and Mar
hall. It refuses to support Theodore
Roosevelt, plus George W. Perkins,
Elbrtdge H. Gary and tho rest of the
atoel trust harrester trust magnates.
Its open opposition to the third terra
ticket was Indicated In the issue ol
Sept. 14. In the Issue of Sept. 21 Ha
reasons for espousing the Democratic
cause are clear and forceful.
The loading editorial, "The Wastes
Of Competition," says:
"More and more the campaign li
oomfng down to two pressing Issues,
the tariff and the proper treatment of
monopolies. Collier's actively dis
agrees with the view of monopoly be
ing urged by Messrs. Roosevelt, Per
Una and Oary.
"They talk a great deal about the
wastes of competition. The necessary
wastes of competition are relatively
Insignificant, and the wastes of unfair
and destructive competition are wholly
onneceaaary. They will be largely
eliminated when competition is regu
lated. "The La Follette-Lenroot and the
Stanley bills to perfect the Sherman
law and the Newlands-Cummins pro
posals for an Interstate trade commis
sion are all directed in part to that
end. The remaining wastes of compe
tition may be likened to the wastes of
democracy. These are obvious, but we
know also that democracy has com
pensations which render it more effi
cient than absolutism So it is in in
dustry. The margin between what
men naturally do and what they can
do is so great that the system which
urges men on to effort is the best sys
tem. "The necessary wastes of monopoly,
on the other hand, are enormous. Some
of these can, of course, be eliminated
by regulation. An efficient interstate
trade commission, acting under appro
priate legislation, could put an end to
much of the oppression of which trusts
have been guilty. It could prevent un
just discrimination. It could prevent
ruthless and unfair use of power; but
a government commission would be
powerless to secure for the people the
low prices commonly attendant upon
competition.
"As no means exist for determining
whether greater net earnings are due
to greater efficacy in management or
to excessive profits, large net earnings
would be followed by compulsory re
duction of prices, Which in turn would
create a sens of injustice suffered,
paralyze imlividual enterprise and pro
duce uuprogressive, slipshod manage
ment. The attempt to secure low
prices through price firing would
prove as impotent a.i the statutes
which have sought to protect the pub
lic in railroad rates by limiting the
divide n Is.
"The interstate commerce commis
sion has been invoked as an argument
In favor of licensing monopoly. That
commission has stopped many abuses;
It has practically put an end to cor
rupt and corrupting discrimination in
rates; it has protected the shipper
from oppression and arrogance and in
justice; It lias prevented unreasonable
advanies in rates; but it has secured
comparatively few notable reductions
in rates, except those Involved in
stopping discrimination between per
sons, places or articles. It has been
powerless to reduce operating costs,
and greater reductions in rates can
come only with reductions in the cost
Of producing transportation. The in
justice and corruption attending the
earlier railroad period were extremely
serious. But we must not forget that
the sweeping reductions in Amerunn
operating costs and rates belong to the
earlier period of competition among
railroads. In the ten years from 1889
to 1899, while competition among the
railroads was active, the freight rate
per ton per mile was gradually re
duced from .941 to .74. The years
1899-1900 marked the great movement
for combination or "community of in
terest" in the railroad world as well
as in the industrial world. The freight
j rate per ton per mile began to rise. It:
each of the eleven succeeding years it
was higher than in ISM, and In 1910
It was .753.
"The deadening effect of monopoly
is illustrated by its arrest of inven
tion. The shoe machinery trust, form
ed in 1899, resulted in combining, di
rectly and indirectly, more than 100
shoe machinery concerns. It acquired
substantially a monopoly of all the es
sential machinery used in bottoming
boots and shoes, as well as many oth
er machines. It believed Itself unas
sailable, and shoe manufacturers had
come to regard their subjection to the
trust as unavoidable Nevertheless, la
1910 the trust found its prestige sud
denly threatened and Its huge profits
lmpei lied, it was confronted with a
competitor so formidable that tho
trust, in flagrant violation of law. paid
$5,000,000 to buy him out. Thomas Q.
Plant had actually succeeded In devel
oping iu about five years, while the
trust was stolid from monopoly, a

president and vice president we must
view what has caused the great upris
ing in the country in connection with
our economic affairs and the adminis
tration of our government In so far ar
It relates to that subject.
There Is no defence offered for the
extennive privileges created by the
tariff preferences through the Repub
lican party and the favors to the
privileged classes and corporations.
While wealth has accumulated under
these preferences, s fair Held and no
favor has been denied to the masses.
We cannot expect remedies from
men high in ofilce who In their entire
life work have been associates and
participants with the favored class.
Mr. Roosevelt during his entire career
in politics and as the head of his
parly has been the protector of many
trusts that the tariff has nourished
and fostered nor have we founi him
in the seven und one-b M e;irs of his
official life as preside at strenuous in
removing tariff iu!quiti--8 and inequali
ties. Mr. Taft iu his acts und utter
ances is a party man believing in a
protective tariff, and nould. If elected,
defend what to man minds Is the su
preme c: use of uin -.si.
Free From Evil Associations.
In Mr. Wilson und his associate, tli
candidate for vice president, we hav
two men who have had no associations
with the privileged class, who have
never been In a position to grunt or
accept favors or to participate in any
measure that could possibly relate to
their personal welfare or Increase
their Incomes. In the respective pro
fessions that these two gentlemen
have occupied they have been day
laborers, working at their desks as
many hours as thn workman who Is
industrious and faithful to his task.
The very fact that they have been
selected as candidates for the office of
president and vice president of these
United States Is an illustration of one
of the great boasts of tho American
people that the man who is faithful to
his trust, honest In his work, fearless
and courageous in his opinions, will in
time be noticed and receive a reward.
I'hey have watched with concern every
side of our political life that enters
Into the government of our people,
voicing their approval or disapproval
of situations as they arose.
Are Typical Americans.
No one can safely challenge the
soundness of their views or their lead
ership where economic questions enter
into our governmental affairs. They
are typical Americans
Governor Wilson and Governor Mar
shall have both been before the people
when they received the approval of s
majority of the citizens of their re
spective states for the high office of
governor. If it be the good fortune
of the country to have these two gen
tlemen occupy the presidency and vice
presidency of these United States we
have the assurance that (u their deeds
and sets they will labor to remove the
unrest that has been created in the ad
ministration of our governmental af
fairs and that there will be equal laws
for all the people and not special laws
and special protection, and that the
highest Ideals of a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo
ple will be brought Into fullest reallia-tioa.
