THREE COURSES OPEN TO CORPORATIONS UNDER
LAW AS OUTLINED BY PRESIDENT TAFT.
The decrees of injunction recently! adopted In prosecutions under
the anti-trust law are so thorough and 'sweeping that the corporations
affected by them have hut three courses before them:' , . ?'.
V First They must resolve themselves into their component parts
In different States, with a consequent loss to themselves of capital and
effective organization and to the country of concentrated energy . and
. enterprise; or - ' - . . '
Second In i defiance of law. and under some secret trust they must
attempt, to. continue their business in violation ofl the Federal statute
and thus incur the penalties of contempt and bring on an. inevitable
criminal prosecution of the individuals named in the decree and their
associates; or - . ,
' Third -They must reorganize and accept in good faith the Fed
eral charter. -
" Washington, p. C President Taft
sent to Congress his long delayed
message on interstatc'tCQjmmeYee and
v'-anti-trusf legislation. In it he strikes'
at the, existence of holding corpora
r tions and oppressive trusts, t He. rec
ommends. the-formation of a Court of
Commerce to review railway " cases
i find a Federal corporation bill to reg-
v.late trusts, ; '
The President does not. advocate
1be repeal of the Sherman Auti-Trust
law "or of the Interstate Commerce
''law; on "the contrary, he believes in
.strengthening and amplifying both
these laws. 1
"The President comes out flatly for
complete Government control and
supervision-of railroad' corporations
. and trusts. He announces that it is
. his purpose at an early date to in
struct the Department of Justice to
investigate all trusts with, respect id
which there is a reasonable suspicion
that they were, illegally formed or
4ire being illegally conducted.
The President, however, enjpins
caution on Congress lest it disturb
The. confidence of, the business com
rnunity: and produce "a'lialt'Tnpros
perity. , . '
'"The President deals in thl3 ' com
munication with the two great issues
omitted from his annual message, the
Interstate Commerce and Anti-Trust
laws. In a message of some ten thou
sand vords he deals exhaustively with
. loth subject's. Leading' recommenda
tions as to the former include:
A "United States Court of Com
nerce." to haye original jurisdiction
over classes of cases which are speci
fied, thus relieving the Interstate
Commerce Commission ' of certain
labor and an incongruous combinatiqn
of functions. - '
Permitting limited railway pools,
subject to all the provisions of the
Interstate Commerce act.
' "Protection of the shipper 'in the
matted .of rate quoted for proposed
shipments, by financial penalties for
refusal- or omission5: by carrier to
quote-proper rate.'
Authority to commission to act.. on
"Its. own .initiative, in investigating
fairness of rates or practices, and to
, i?a?s on classifications of .commodities.
Prtwer to the commission to hold
yp for a limit of sixty days proposed
increases of rates ifntil it shall have
-"' j)assed; upon their reasonableness;
?nd if found unreasonable to forbid
the increase or fix a maximum..
'.. Giving shippers the right to desig
nate through routes over which their
fchinrnents shall pass.
Forbidding railroads to acquire in
terest in .any competing railroad or
other competing corporation; . but
vith certain provisos affecting owner
shin already acquired.
Forbidding issuance of railway
stock or. bonds unless par value has
' T?en received for them or, if at less
than par value, the reasonable market
value as ascertained by the commis
sion; the same to apply where the
consideration received is services or
a 2i y thing other than money. Also
preventing improvident or improper
if sue of notes.
Giving the Intersate .Commerce
Cornrhissi&n power to determine upon
uniform construction of safety appli
ances Ion railroads, and, facilitating
iho serving of process in suits under
; -.the Employer's Liability act.
As to the Anti-Trust law, the Pres
, icifnt recommends: -.
Volantarx Federal Incorporation of
interstate industrial concerns, vith !
. rvouicmon of the "holding company"
!. !vn. ' ' ' ; .
Indorsement' of rornMn'atibns of Jn
r AV-t rial capital wherel these are de--id?L

nis(; s thus, relieving Certain classes
;; 'inject to uuiust condemnation under

Several pages of the message are
voted to an elucidation

that its inhibition does not lie against

1
Government does not intend to lessen1
in the least degree its prosecution of
suits to dissolve combinations which
are to-day monopolizing ; the com
raerce of the country, and seeks bnlv
to foster and encourage "reasonable"
concentration pf capital necessary
to the economic development of man
ufacture, trade and commerce. He
also points out that the worst of
fenders in monopoly must accept Fed
eral incorporation, face criminal
prosecution, or dissolve themselves
into their component parts in the dif
ferent States. N
In industrial combinations called
trusts, the President says, the inter
state and foreign business far exceeds
the business done in any one State.
This fact, he says, will justify grant
ing of Federal charters to such com
binations under suchi limitations as
will secure compliance with the Anti
Trust law.
To this end he recommends a grant
ing of Federal law for the charters
to corporations engaged in interstate
commerce, protecting them 'from un-
iying n rsationai supervision to pre
vent abuses which have arisen under
State control. -.
Such a law would subject the real
and personal property only to the
same taxation as is imposed by the
States anr- would require completa
renOrts to be filed at regular i inter
vals. Holding companies will be for
bidden. (
The President declares the Sher
man Anti-Trust law does not need
amendments and that the series of de
cisions by .the Supreme Court renders
a strong reason for leaving the act as
it Is." .
The public, '" the President says,
must disabuse itself of the idea that
any distinction between "good trusts"
and "bad trusts" can be introduced
into the statute.
' The President" declares that mon
opolies must be restrained and pun
ished lentil ended. - j
TAFT REMOVES PINCIIOT.
Chief of Forestry Burcan Dismissed
For Insubordination.
Washington,' D. C. President Taft
dismissed Gifford Pinchot, Chief of
the Forestry Bureau, and the fight
between the Roosevelt radicals and
the conservative wing of the Repub
lican party is on in earnest. The
President's action came after a Cab
inet session that lasted practically all
day. When it broke up, just before
dinner tim3 In the evening, there was
issued at the White House a copy of
a letter sentvby the President to Mr.
Pinchot. In this letter, .after sum
ming up the acts of the forester that
led him to take such action, Mr. Taft
said : ,
"By your conduct you have, de
stroyed your usefulness as a helpful
subordinate of the Government, and
It therefore becomes my duty to'di
rect the Secretary of Agriculture to
remove you from your offlce as For
ester." Secretary Wilson was swift in car
rying out the decision of the Presi
dent. He addressed to Mr. Pinchot,
to Overton W. Price, Associate For
rester, and AlbeYt C. Shaw, assistant
law officer of the Forestery Bureau,
letters substantially indentical.

Washington Special. As a busi
ness institution the . Postoffice De
partment, next to the United States
Treasury, is the greatest . in . the
government. According to figures
submitted by Charles P. Gradfield,
First Assistant Postmaster General,
for the fiscal yea jrended June ; 30
1909, made public in his annual- re
port, the gross revenue of the pos
tal service reached the enormous
total of $203,562,383, an increase of
$12,083,720, or 6.31 per cenV over
the preceding year. Theer vera
7,202 presidential postoffices on July
1, 1909. Of this number 398 were
first class, an increase of 14 ; 1,707
weer second class, an increase: of 112 ;
and 5,097 weer third class, an in
crease of 230. The total increase in
the number of presidential offices
was 356. There were , 1,444 post
offices established during the year
and 2,004 were discontinued, leaving
a total of 60,144 postoffices in oper
ation on June 30, 1909. During the
year 1,626 postmasters weer appoint
ed at presidential offices. A,t fourth
, class offices 9,161 postmasters weer
appointed.
The report recommends an amend
metn to the law ! whereby fourth
class offices may be advanced when
the receipts of the office qualfy it;
wages of the clerical and carrier
force should be increased in first
and second class offices. Nearly half
the offices of presidential class are
housed m leased quarters.
