It was not beeause of personal friendship that Mr. Insull, who con trols public utilities with a total cap italization of $600,000,000. gave $125,000 to the primary fund of Col. Frank L. Smith. There is a storm rising in the country against the op erations of the great public utility corporations. Warnings against them have been sounded from time to time through the last five years. That of Gifford Pinchot, who fore saw that there would arise in time a limited number of these power giants, possibly a single super-corporation, and that they or it would dominate the country politically and economically, is still fresh in mem ory. The Walsh resolution was one of the preliminary flashes from this troubled sky. There are. according to Mr. Pinchot, 41 corporations which control four-fifths of all the electrical energy produced in the United States. poratjons ana their associates. These five dominant electrical interests are deficit for the fiscal year under re the General Electric Co. of New York. vjew by about $9,000,000, so that Doherty of New York.

Insull of Chicago. i As a matter cf fact, and as inves- It is well known that these great tigations have demonstrated, the pos- corporations maintain a powerful lobby at the national capital. They have in mini more things than stop- ping the Walsh resolution. They in- tend to have something to say about Muscle Shoals and the great Boulder i Dam. Nor is their interest confined 1 ,:!.; .vh;n nivrr tVu.m di- rectly. It extends to legislation that affects the whole institution of high finance. Power is their business, ar.d they mean to exercise some of it politically. The head of their Wash ington lobby. Col. Roosevtlt's former secretary, George B. Cortelyou. They have a full war chest'and battle-scarred Generals. It was not supposed that they could send the Walsh reso lution to the executioner, but they did it by a majority of four votes Had Smith and Vare been seated, they would have done it by six votes. That is why seats in the Senate are high. They have assumed an im portance to corporate wealth that they have not hitherto possessed. Had the Walsh resolution pone where its 'author wanted it to go and given him an opportunity to rssv.me the initiative such as tho oil investiga tion gave him, he would have laid before the country a state of affairs of . which we are quite undreaming. Meantime he recommends a number He would have Phown us that the of ninor changes calculated to in trust peril against which Col. Roose- CIa3fl postal revenues and remove velt took up arms was slight by com- grievances. parison with the peril that confronts us now. The result of such an expose would likely be protective legislation. That lis what the great corporations want ; to prevent. They won the first round. but the fight is not over.
