CURB CORPORATIONS
BYFEDERAL LICENSE,
SAYS METCAlF
Commentator Secretary
Declares This Is Best Remedy
for Trust Evil.

Washington. ID. g.. Dec. ii--Secretary
Metcaif. OF the department OF COM
merce and labor. In his annual report
says that the department Investigations
have furnished reliable Information re-,
garding the conduct and business OF
corporations engaged In Interstate and
foreign commerce. The facts presented
as To- the relation Of such corporations
to the states and the inability OF the
states to cnectualiy curb the improper
exercise OF corporate powers lead in
evitably To the conclusion that the fed
eral government must directly regulate
and control such corporations.
MIR. Metcaif adds:
"of the methods suggested for excr-
cisng hts power the federal franchise
plan seems the most feasible. This plan
Is simply tn require the greater indus
trial corporations To obtain "A license
from the federal government IL they
are To engage In Interstate and foreign
commerce. There would be no inter-
ference with the powers OF n state over
actions wholly within the state"
Convict Labor.
Continuing the report says
During the fiscal year ended June
20. 1906. the bureau OF labor issued Its
twentieth annual report-that OF 1905.
This report presents the results OF an
extensive investigation OF the penal
and rcformatory Institutions OF the
United States. The primary object OF
the investigation was to determine tho
number of couyicts employed In pro-
ductive labor. the Industries I'm which
they were at work. the systems under
which their work was done. the value
OF their labor. the value OF the product
turned out by them. and the CONNER
cial effect OF the competition OF convict

Offered Choice of Seats.

When she entered the car it was
easy to see that she was angry. Her
chin was high in the air, and her lips
were set in rigid line. The car was
crowded and every seat was occu-
pied, so she pushed her way up front
with a determination that gave fur
ther evidence Of her vexation. She
reached the front end Of the car just
as q tall, good looking man rose and,
lifting his hat, asked in pleasant
voice, "Won't you have this seat7''
"No, T WON'T" she snapped. The
young man was surprised, but sat
down again without speaking. For
about five minutes she rode along,
hanging on to the straps. Then the
car gave sudden jolt, and she was
thrown uncercmoniously into tho
vivid red and, struggling to rise, was
almost on her feet when another
lurch threw her back again.
