FOR FEDERAL LICENSE.
Congressman Martin, Of South Dakota
States His Remedy for Trust

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. l5.-coEgress
man Eben w. Martin Of South Dakota,
speaking before the Lincoln club at ST.
Paul. had for his subject. THE People and
the Trusts" and he took strong ground lily
favor of federal license and control Of
corporations engaged in interstate COM
lnerce. He prescribed publicity for the evil
of overcapltaliZatiOn, and government in.
spection for the evil Of monopoly. He
stated his idea of the remedy as follows:
1.-THE Sherman antitrust law of 1881
aimed directly at the root of tho trouble
But l believe the national congress must
go one step further in order to acquire
complete control and regulation Of these,
vast aggregations of capital. A law should
be passed requiring every corporation en-.
gaging in interstate commerce, and cspe,
citlly the corporations handling the neces-
stiles of life, as food and fuel. first to obs
tain a franchise or license from the ma
tional government. as a basis of It's right
to participate in Interstate commerce at
all. Such franchises could be obtained
from the secretary of commerce after
| satisfactory showing that the corporal ton
Is not combination In restraint of trade,
that 1t is honestly capitalized and that it
monopoly in violation of the law should
be cause for revocation OF the Interstate
license or franchise. Trusts are organized
for profit. Therefore make 1t unprotit able
to violate the antimonopoly laws.
Whatever may become of the trusts,
the big corporation has come to stay. 1t Is
natural evolution in our marvellous indus.
trial development. But we should hold the
big corporations down to an honest cap
ttalization. based upon a fair valuation of
property actually possessed. We should
give corporations no special privileges, and
see that they get none from other sources
They are entitled to all the advantages
that come from the proper union Of capital
and labor on colossal scale for the pro-
motion Of colossal enterprises. The indi-
vidual has certain advantages coming
from personal attention to local business
on a small scale. All we have right to
demand is corporate fairness. decency and
honesty"

PREDICTS UPRISING.
Ex-M;nister conser Says That Troubl,
in the Oriental Empire Is
Imminent

Los Angeles, Cal. Feb. l6.-Edwis.
H. Conger. for many years United
States minister to China. and who is
staying ut Pasadena for the winter, is
anti-foreign agitation in China as fol-
lows:
The United States should warn
China against a repetition of the ter
rible riots of a few years ago.
"A show of warships should be
made to impress upon the government
of China that troubles must not be re-
peated and will not be tolerated.
II am satisfied that serious trouble
will come, but do not expect that i;
will be directed especially against the
United States, but will be against the
reigning Manchu dynasty.
THE ManchurianS are insignificant
in numbers and the present uprising is
for the purpose of establishing II new
dynasty and not to Dust foreigners
continued Mr.. Conger.
The most violent disturbances will
be in the southern provinces and will
endanger all foreign interests.
americans within the zone Of the re-
hel!ion are liable to be hurt before they
can get out and that Is why the United
States should let China know that it
will not tolerate for an instant anyj
thing inimical to the interests of its
citizens.
III the Chinese can be impressed that
we are on the alert and that we near
business our interests will be secure.
IF China is permitted to think than
it can ignore our interests something;
terrible will happen.
The trouble now will be Il great
struggle within the empire--a battle of
popular majority against the dynastic
minority. 1t has been coming for many
years and has now apparently reached
u climax. ;
II believe the boycott or American
goods is now beginning To operate
against the Chinese themselves. Chi
nese merchants long before this boy
cott was instituted stocked their estab-
lishments with goods from the United
States. When the boycott was declared
these merchants could not or dared not
sell their goods.
We learned Il lesson in 1900. and
China learned one. too. Our experience
should compel US to take every pre-
caution.
I'm the future 1t would be the part of
wisdom to have our warships and
troops ready if only for the purpose OF
letting China know that we are watch.

TRAINED MARE
TRAILS A THIEF
Horse Stolen From a Montana Trader
Rounded Up After Chase of
Nineteen Miles.

Zulky, a horse thief, was caught at
Joliet, ILL.,, by c. Z. Rogers, Montana
horse trader, through the use of a
trained mare who, like a bloodhound,
took the scent of the stolen animal and
led the owner direct to him.
Rogers with a herd of sixty horses
was camping near the drainage chan
mel in Lockport when he and his men
were aroused by uneasiness among the
other horses. With a shout that he
would soon have the thief he mounted
the mare, which promptly took the
scent For nineteen miles they went
west, and finally the thief and the horse
were sighted. Zulky, the thief, is sew
enteen years of age and lives near
LockpOrt.
Rogers was on his way to Chicago
Heights. He fairly worships the train
ed mare, which was brought up for the
purpose of scenting stolen and strayed
horses
