One ot the im portant recommendations which will be brought to the notice of the com ing session of the legislature Is a imposition to soli the state school lands now under lease. The recom mendation has been incorporated in the reports of two state officers, State Treasurer George and Uuul Commis sioner Cowles. Both official contend that a sale, of the school lands of the state will bring Into the tuto more money than is re celved at the present time from the lease of the lands. Umd Com mis- siontv Cow'f? contends that the larger portion-; of the school lands unsold are of a poor class, many of the sec tions not being worth 50 cents per acre, and consequently the rental is so small as hardly to pay for the trou ble of Keeping track of it. Treasurer George sets out the plea that if the lands are sold the state will derive n revenue from two ?ouice? One of these is by taxation. The ether reason and the one which to Mr. George seems the more import ant Is that if the hind is sold and the money derived from the sale is In vested In county, school district or municipal bonds that the interest on these bends will bring into the state revenue more satisfactory' than is gained by the state holding the lands and leasing them. -The Pacific Coast Tour- . Grandest Railroad Journey in the World There are more than one hundred different ways to go or to come, but the all-year way to California, the way in one direction at least, is through the Den ver gateway, with Scenic Colorado and Salt Lake along the way. If you desire a more southerly route in Winter, go via Denver and the Santa Fe Grand Canyon Route, through New Mexico the way of sunshine. If this is not far enough south, go through Kansas City and Texas, returning through Salt Lake and Scenic Colorado. But to realize the maximum possibilities as to scenerVt cities, agricultural landscape and "travel education" of this compre hensive tour, you should include the Shasta Route and the Pacific Northwest the Portland, Puget Sound and Spokane regions.

Washington. Dec. 16. Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce and la bor, would sharply define and restrict the powers and discretion of the pro posed federal commission to regulate Industrial corporations. In his annual report submitted to President Taft the secretary opposes the endowment of such a commission, If finally creat ed by congress, with far-reaching pow er equal to those exercised by the In terstate commerce commission over railroads. He disapproves the sug geFtion that the commission have au thority to fix prices of commodities. Epitomizing his doctrine for govern mental supervision of business, Mo, Nagel says: "Instead of pressing federal regula tion as far ns possible, the real desid eratum in legislation affecting the country's business should be to pre- wve, to the greatest extent consist ent with the public welfare, the ele ment of self regulation. The effort should be to lay down principles of conduct sufficiently specific to Im pose desired restraints, at the same time leaving a wide field for individ ual achievement. If such a trade commission is well defined," the secretary says, "It may serve the general purpose of giving largo industrial ami commercial con cerns much needed federal authority and control. It Is possible by lodging Id t,he commission well defined dis cretion an Intelligent purpose may be served. Put the obvious danger is that such a commission, once created, will soon be vested with further pow ers. The disposition will undoubtedly be to give It authority to fix prices nd conditions of operation similar to that which the interstate commerce commission now exercises with re spet to rallro.lds nnd their rates. In other words, there Is a strong tend ency to disregard the fundamental dis tinction between a public carrier and a private enterprise." Other salient features of Secretary Nagel s report are: Corporations should be compelled to liiiikc automatic reports regarding cap italization, business, profits, control Ing inteiests, etc. The bureau of corporations should Assist federal courts In reorganizing concerns dis.-elved under the Sherman anti-trust law.
