cargo the subvention shall be reduced
prorate."
Provision is made in the third sec
ton that vessels receiving the sub.
vention may be taken by the United
States, at fair compensation, for
national defense or any public pur-
pose. II provides also that when the
postmaster general requires, the ves-
sells shall carry mails free of charge
That one.sixth of the crews shall be
citizens of the United States.
, The fourth section provides that
the contracts provided for in section
three shall be for period of one
year, and shall be renewed from time
to time, but no vessel shall receive a
subvention under the provisions Of
this act for a longer period than ten
years"
Sections five and six authorize and
direct the postmaster general to enter
into contracts, for not less than five
nor more than ten years, for the car
rying of mails in steamships built and
registered in the United States, be-
tween ports of the United States and
foreign ports, on the routes, at speci-
fed rates of speed and amounts.
Section nine relates to apprentices.
Section ten repeals all conflicting
acts and section eleven fixes July l,
1905, as the time the proposed legis-
lation shall take effect.
Concluding the commission urges
the need of immediate relief for the
American merchant marine, saying:
"If the passage of the legislation
proposed by the commission is post
poned to the next session of congress
a condition already desperate will
have become still more desperate.
The time to act is now. The comrais-
sion has prepared conservative
pose at a minimum cost, fair to all
sections and interests, and directed
especially to the strengthening Of the
national defense and the extension of
American commerce to new and dis
tant markets. The commission can
see no reason why a cautious mea-
sure of this kind, making no large i'm
mediate draft upon the national rev.
enues, can not be passed at the pres
ent session of congress.
with all possible emphasis, there
fore, the commission recommends that
the bill which will be reported from
the commission and introduced into
the two houses of congress, be taken
up promptly, and after reasonable de-
bate advanced to enactment"

FAULT IN GARFIELD PLAN
THOMAS G. FROST POINTS OUT
ALLEGED DEFECTS.
WOULD NOT BE TRUST BUSTER
Would be of lmportancse in Increas-
ina Revenues of the National Gov
ernment-States Would be the Los.
ers-Friends Lacking.

New York, Jan. 6. Thomas G.
Frost, general counsel for the Nation
al Incorporation company and author
of Frost on Incorporation, upon be-
ing interviewed in reference to the
proposed federal licensing of incOr-
porations, said:
"The proposed remedial corpora
tiOn legislation recommended by Com
missioner Garfield involves two sep
arate propositions: First, the pas
tion law; second, the enactment of a
federal statute requiring all corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce
to procure license from the federal
my opinion as to the advisability
and practicability of such legislation
is this: A federal corporation law,
permissive and not mandatory in
character, while it would have much
to recommend it, would do little to-
wards remedying existing abuses.
Such an act would simply meet the
wants of those who preferred a char
ter issued under authority of the fed
eral government, and this, too, at the
expense of the state governments,
who would unquestionably suffer a
diminution in income were federal in
corporation to be permitted. AS a
source of revenue to the national gov.
ernment, such an act would undoubt-
edly be pronounced success, but as
'trust-buster' it would be grievous
disappointment.
THE proposition to require a fed
eral license from all state corporations
engaged in interstate commerce is
crude, visionary and exceedingly H.
advised from a business standpoint.
1t is species of radical legislation
suited to a strongly centralized gov
ernment, such as France, rather than
to one, such as ours, wherein the
rights of the several states are care
fully guarded by constitutional enact
ments against encroachment on their
prerogatiyes by the federal govern
ment. s'''
"The objects to the proposed federal
license law may be briefly summarized
as follows; First: It is centraliza-
tion in its worst and most virulent
form: second, it would be impossible
to make it wholly effective owing to
the fact that the right to forfeit the
charters of the corporations so H.
censed would rest necessarily with
the state authorities from whom the
charter was procured. Finally, II
such a bill were introduced into con-
gress it would be difficult to find for
1t friends among the numerous body
Of safe and sound statesmen"
