License for Interstate Trade.

A bill of greatest national importance that
Mr.. Martin of South Dakota expects to
push for attention in congress at this ses-
sion is his bill already introduced for the
regulation of corporations engaging in in
terstate and foreign commerce in food and
fuel supplies This bill provides that after
July ! next all corporations engaging in
interstate commerce in cattle. sheep, swine.
dressed meats meat products, poultry,
poultry products, dairy products, grain.
cereals hreadstuffs, coal oil or other food
or fuel supplies, must obtain a license or
franchise from the secretary of commerce
and labor and before obtaining such fran
chise must make an affirmative showing
that they are not over-capitaizcd that
they are not an unlawful trust or comhina-
ton. and that it is not their purpose to
violate the federal antitrust laws. Suhse-
quent violation of the antitrust laws will
forfeit the right to engage in interstate
commerce. This bill is right in line with
President Roosevelt's administrative policies
for the proper regulation OF great corpora
tions doing interstate commerce Mr.. Mar
tin believes the policy, which is new, can
very properly he applied first to corpora
tions handling food and fuel supplies which
must be used by all of the people.

there were only $50 cabs in all Lon

"back door" cab. In 1885 Joseph

Its body was almost square, and
the wheels were seven feet six inches
in height, a trife taller than the We

roof at the front, with two. doors
beneath him, one on either side Of
his feet. This extraordinary cab be-
gan to ply for hire, much to the
amusement of the drivers of the
hackney coaches, "outrigger" and
back door cabs. A few months later
Hanson, who was financed by the
inventor of the back door cab, re-
duced the size of the wheels Of his
vehicle and made several other alter

its cattle shed appearance.
