Corporations enSdSeu III Iho
business of development should be
limited in the area of their opera
lions but not in the amount of their
capital These concerns must place
their plants where the raw material
exists and cannot bring the raw
material to the plant. 1t does not
make any difference how much
money concern puts in coal mines
in Pennsylvania, another concern
could 60 over into West Virginia
or some other locality and develop
mine and would thus furnish
competition but if one concern
would he allowed to get possession
of all the coal mines in the country
all competition would be stifled and
a trust in the fullest sense of the
word be formed.
Corporations engaged in the
business of transportation should
not be limited as to capital. |
have seen thousands of square
miles of fertile country developed
into fruitful farms, dotted with
villages and cities, which when |
first gazed upon it was a wilderness,
fair as the Garden of the Lord, it
is true, but wilderness, and this
wondrous transformation was
wrought by railroad construction.
The extraordinary development in
wealth, population and resources
that this country has witnessed
during the last half century, is due
more to the construction of rail-
roads than to any other agency.
They have made the impossible
possible. Yet the railroads were
not built for the good of the
country but for the benefit of the
promoters. 1t is perfectly apparent
that the same corporation should
not be allowed to own or control
parallel lines within a reasonable
distance in order that transporta-
ton trust cannot be formed, neither
should it be allowed unlimited
power in the fixing of rates for if
the railroads make the country the
country also makes the railroads
and justice demands that the benefits
arising be prorated between the
parties and that neither should be
permitted to absorb them all.
+ Corporations engaged in manu-
facture and trade should be limited
as to capital. Amy agreement
between them to limit production,
reduce wages or to regulate or con-
troll the price of commodities after
they are sold and out of their
possession, should be declared void
and any money put mp as forfeit
to maintain such an agreement
should be made non-forfeitable.
No corporation should be permit
ted to sell its stock for less than its
par value in cash or its equivalent.
Liability should follow the stock in
every instance and it should be
made an offense with severe penal
ties to misrepresent the profits Of
corporation either in an advertise
ment or prospectus.
All these points should be en-
acted into law by Congress and
strictly enforced. Any law on
this subject to be worth the paper
on which it is written must be
uniform throughout the United
States. Of course, all the states
can pass the same law but anyone
with sense enough to pound sand
knows they will not.
Everyone knows that law
such as l have indicated would
be unconstitutional, so the first
thing necessary is to secure an
amendment to the constitution.

STICK To OLD BIBLE.
Episcopal Convention in Missouri Re-
jects the Revised Version.

St. Louis, May 27.-After two days
discussion of the matter. the Episco-
pal diocesan convention of Missouri
by a good majority, voted against the
use of the revised version Of the Bible
in the prescribed service of the
church. Laymen were stronger than
the clergy in making the vote de-
cisive- The clergy vote was ? for the
revised version and 19 against and
that Of the laity 3 for and IS against.
The matter came before the conven-
ton in a communication from the
diocese of California. asking that the
Missouri diocese concur in a petition
to the general convention asking the
permissive Use of the revised version
in the prescribed service Of the
church.
The argument of Rev. DR.. r. A.
Holland of St Louis had much to do
in bringing about this decisive vote.
DIR. Hollands argument was that the
Bible was poetic book, not book
of scientific accuracy; that the Greek
language was fitted to convey the
original text of the New Testament
and that the English spoken in King
James time was likewise the choice
vehicle of the inspired expressions. He
considered il an insult, he said, for
any one to offer him an altered text
of Shakespeare. The Same attitude
he maintained toward the Bible.
