An Epoch in Capitalization Is
Promised in the Near
Future.
Combination Of Half a Dozen
Great Corporations Said to
Be in the Air.
Among Them Are the Standard
Oil, Sugar, Leather, Lead and
Other Trusts.

CHICAGO, July 26.-The Post says:
An industrial combination on a scale
which will mark en- epoch in centraliza-
ton is promised in the near future.
According to stock exchange gossip the
following corporations are mentioned as
likely to merge their identity into one
colossal whole: Standard Oil company,
United States Leather company, Amer.
lean Sugar Refining company, National
Lead company, United States Lumber
company, American Tobacco company,
American Spirits Manufacturing Com
pany, American Cotton Oil company,
New York, Chicago and Bay State Gas
companies. Total capital, 1925, 900, 900.
To this capital stock must be added the
various sums represented by bonds of
the above companies, together with the
appreciation in value Of some Of the
stocks-Standard Oil alone representing
nearly four times its nominal face value
which together will bring the total
value Of capital to double the above to.
tai, or in round figures oSl 900, 900, 900.
The guiding spirit in this mammoth
combination is said to be the Standard
Oil company.

therefore urgently recommend that
a special commission be created, non.
partisan in it's character, to be composed
of wcll.informed citizens of different
parties who will command the con.
fidence of congress, and the country
because of their special fitness for the
work, whose duty it shall be to make
recommendations of whatever changes
in our present banking and currency
laws may be found necessary, and ex-
pedient, and to report their conclusions
on or before the first day of November
next, III order that the same may be
transmitted to congress for it's consider.
alton at it's first regular session.
It is to be hoped that the report thus
made will be so comprehensive and
sound as to receive the support of all
parties and the favorable action of con-
gress. At all events, such report cam
not fail to be of value to the executive
branch of the government, as well as to
those charged with public legislation,
and to greatly assist in the establish.
ment of an improved system Of finance.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Document Sent to Congress just Before
Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The message
which the president sent to congress
just before adjournment was as follows:
To the Congress Of the United States:
In my message convening the con-
gress in extraordinary session, I called
attention to a single subject-that OF
providing revenue adequate to meet the
reasonable and proper expenses OF the
government. believed that to be the
most pressing subject for settlement
then. A bill to provide the necessary
revenues for the government has already
passed the house of representatives and
the senate, and awaits executive action.
Another question of very great impor-
tance is that of the establishment of our
currency and banking system on bet
ter basis, which I commented upon in
nv Inauguration address in the follow.
ing words:
.'Our financial system needs some re-
vision; our money is all good, but it's
value must not further be threatened.
1t should all be put upon an enduring
basis, not subject to easy attack, nor its
stability to doubt or dispute. The sew
eral forms OF our paper money offer, III
my Judgment, constant c.nbarrass.
ment to the government and inlperil a
safe balance III the treasury.
Nothing was settled more clearly at
the late national election than the deter.
,fo Of fr
keep their currency stable in value and
equal to that of the most advanced na.
tions of the world.
The soundness of currency is no.
where questioned. No loss can occur to
it's holders. It is the system which
should be simplified and strengthened,
! keeping our money just as good as it
; now is, with less expense to the govern
ment and the people.
The sentiment of the country is
strongly in favor of early action by con.
cress in this direction, to revive our
currency laws and remove them from
partisan contention. A notable Assem-.
bly of business men with delegates
from 20 states and territories was held
at Indianapolis in January of this year
The financial situation commanded
their earnest attention and after two
days session the convention recon-
mended to congress the appointment o1
monetary commission.

of the report recommend q commits
sion "to make thorough in
vestigation of the monetary affair,
and needs of this convention, in all re
lations and aspects and to make proper
suggestions as to any evils found t.
exist, and the remedies therefor"
This subject should receive the atten
ton Of congress at the special session
