A bill has been introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Ward and in the house
by REPRESENTATIVE LII which is calcu-
lated to hinder the operations of tbs
harvester trust. of which Senator Ward

principal feature Of the bill is that It
PROMPTS the creation of exclusive
agencies and the making of contracts
under which agents are forbidden to
handle more than one make of ma

to the bill:
This law is badly needed in order to
prevent the entertainments of trusts
manufacturing all sorts of farm ma
chlnery and to protect the agriculture
lists of the state from being bled by sucn
combinations. The bill was not pre-
pared by the harvester Investigation
committee, but is intended to circum-
vent some OF the abuses that have been
discovered during the investigation now
in progress"
The bill says:
Section l. Any person, persons, COM
pany or corporation doing business in
the state Of Kansas whereby an agency
OF sale contract exists between said
person, persons, company or corpora
ton and other parties, who shall act
as agent or agents for said person, per-
sons, company or corporation for the
sale or manufacture of machinery
goods or other property shall not have
printed or written in said contract any
clause, section or paragraph whereby ii
snail be construed to be an exclusive
contract for the sale or manufacture of
any kind of machinery goods or nj her
property only, or to prohibit the sale or
manufacture of any machinery, goods
or other property of a like kind and ma
ture.
See. 2. If any contract is made with
such an exclusive clause, section or
paragraph therein the same shall he
null and void.
