OHIO'S TKUST ri.A.IC.
nepresenratire Grobveuor and Senator
II ami n. both of Ohio, liavu on fivtitieut
occaBlnos volred their conviction that the
trust question was oiio for the States
to sehv "States can rogulate atul Mtp
prccs trusts if they liUe. Wait till .oit
-eehow Ohio Laudlos the stibjtvl." ai
nA f Tnn....;. js.. . . . . I
one of Representative tiroaveuoiVs uoie
.worthy utterances.
If the anti-trust plank in the platform
of the Ohio Republicans gites a fair
Idea of how Ohio proposes to handle the
trust question those who hae been
banging on Grosvenoi's words can claim
with justice that they jet a Moue In
stead of bread.
"AVe Insist," says llils plank, "that In
jurious c.iinbinatious hhali be forbidtleu
:ind so-call?d trust;, fchail be so regulated
from time to tin?e and be to testiicled
us to guarantee immunity iroin hurtful
monopoly and assure fair treatment and
pioteetion to all competing ludustries."
It is undetMoo.l that the Ohio phit
foini is an atlv.iuce edition of the Re
publican naiioual platform. In this
plank appears the hand of the man who
Irclared: '"Ini.sis tlou't do any harm,
ihey ouht to be left alone," The tiace
also of the prospective UU,0(xi.ouo cim
pai;;n contribution which, it is repot ted.
has been assessed against the ttusts by
Mark Ilaiina can be seen in this plank.
It would never do to speak too dellnitely
ui a Mihjert no close to the very exist
ence of the agency that pays the ireight
lor the Republican patly.

A most salient phase of the corruplioii

Prior to the Scheme ind"chitrter."vvhicK
was adopted in 187'., the county had a "Poor
Commissioner." who dispensed tbe. county'
charity outdoor relief.
Comptroller Sturgeon said esterdaT
.speaking of Councilman Carroll'smotlon to
cut out entirely the temporary o-pprnprU-tlon
of ?r,t-0 for the .Mayor's contingent
fund:
"Mr. Carroll was mistaken Ir h believe
that I .-uii responsible for fixing the amount
set aside for this fund, t have never nr.
ros.it eel to myself that power or privilege
which is vested solely with the Municipal
Assembly. I merely followed the precidont
established by tnv- predecissors, and by
the action of the Municipal Assembly
guiding mvself by th figures submitted
by the Joint Ways and .Means Committees
In the annual approprlctlon.
"After the llrst year of Mayor Zlcgen
hein's administration the contingent fund
on motion or Chairman I'thoff, of the Wj4
and .Means Committeo of th Council, was
increased from Jlti to il2.TM. at which
figure it has remained ever since, fn sol..
mlUing the i-stim.it" of sumo for the thren
months. p-niUug the- jussive t the general
appropriation bill. I rnerelv placed tbe fig
ure at a little lower than tho amount usual
ly allowed for ths quarter."
The contingent fund allowed the Mayor
s supposed to be expended to its limit In y
relieving the distress of the imligcnt pcov-
worthy pee.pl of the city and strangers
who aro stranded within tho municipal,
gates, and In secret service for the benefit s
of the municipality in civil and criminal
cas". No recorel is kept or rtqulreel of tho
xp'Miillturxs from thfj fund. It is ,1 fund
