STRONG RESOLUTIONS ARE
ADOPTED BY The MEETING
TomIinson and NThompkins- Deliver
Excellent Addresses--No Action Is
Taken In Regard to Conflict Between
State and Federal Government.
Associated Press.

Chicago, October 25.-Resolutions
recommending immediate legislation
permitting agreement between rail-
road corporations on reasonable
freight and passenger rates subject
to the review of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in conformity with
the Sherman antitrust law, and the
immediate formation of a non-partisan
commission to consider the entire
subject of industrial and business con-
ditions. were adopted today by the
National Civic Federation.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
this commission should not only make
a thorough inquiry into the advis-
ability of a system of Federal license
Incorporation for corporations doing
interstate business, but should also
have power to compel complete pub
licity in the accounts and operations
of corporations whose operations are
large enough to o'have monopolistic
influences.
The convention took no action on
the question of conflict of authority
between Federal and state govern
ment, the resolutions stating that the
Federation deems the expression O
any opinion in this regard uniting a
the present time.

Speech of John W. TomIinson.

oPcCCH VI oOuft W.
Chicago, October 25.-John w.
Tomlinson of Birmingham, Ala,
speaking on the question "Shall Fed
eral Jurisdiction be Extended in So
luton of the Trust Problem?" said
in part:
The anwer to the above question
will very generally be in the affirma-
tive, but in most instances with
qualifications. Those to be regulated
and provided further that federal
shall exclude state authority There
is another class, believing that in a
centralized government, they will
make the same qualifications, and
there are those believing in our
dual government who have been dis
couraged on account of complica-
tions of conflicting jurisdictions and
delays incident thereto, and are in
clined for that reason to want one
jurisdiction. But the great conserva-
tive class in this country, knowing
the value of the permanence of their
institutions and government will not
favor the extension of federal to the
exclusion of state jurisdiction, but
will defand the retention and exten
sion of both jurisdictions to the end
that those to be regulated may be
held in the legitimate channels OF
Hattiesburg daily news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1907-1908, 1907-10-26

Legitimate business, and, when en-
gagged in public service, shall be held
to fair return on property invested
at fair valuation.
1t will be very generally conceded,
l think, that the accumulation of
wealth in the few, and its further
concentration in gigantic organiza
tions, doing and handling interstate
commerce, has brought about condi-
tions which did not exist in the
early history of our country-intro-
duced new power in the land Sec
ond only to government itself-neces-
stating efficient government regula-
ton; and | think it can be demon
strated that it will require both ma
ton and state authority in dealing
with the condition. In fact, | fail
to see why those seeking popularity
with the people in advocating this
needed remedy, desire to do away
with either. If you have two rene
dies, is it not common sense to hold
on to both, even though one is re.
garded more efficient than the other?
Why proclaim want of power in the
states, when Alabama, Georgia, North
Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri and
Minnesota recently have enacted and
enforced laws giving substantial re-
| lief?
Furthermore, what guarantee have
the people that they would have eff
fective federal regulation? The fed
eral is not so close to the people as
the state government, and not so
easily controlled by them. Could. not
the regulated more easily control the
election in one jurisdiction than in
many, and would it not be a, great
| tefptation, where millions and mil
lions of dollars are at stake, to re-
sort TO corrupt practices? Again, il
is said, that state authority is de
layed and rendered ineffective by in
| functions, which is only partly true

the state laws; but those who make
this point must know that the same
dilatory tactics would be available
as to federal regulation, as federal
courts. then alone having jurisdis
tion would become so crowded with
litigation as to cause delay equivalent
to denial of relief.
In the solution of these problems
under discussion a nation incorpora
tion has been suggested, but why the
necessity of this? Cannot the nation
al government license, regulate and
inspect, under appropriate laws pass
ed for that purpose, organizations do
ing or handling interstate commerce
as effectually as if they were incor
porated under national law? 1t is
evident. therefore, that the only pur
pose of this step is to eliminate the
states. But a national incorporation

Have the people of Hattiesburg
been the victim of wholesale graft or
of consummate ignorance on the part
of the promoters Of the Junior Order
United American Mechanics? This
is the most important question before
them this morning.
For several days the promoters have
been working in the city, and it is
understood that about 300 members
have been secured to this order, which
is operating without leaf or license
from the State of Mississippi, as the
following communication from Insur-
ance Commissioner Cole will show:
Jackson, Miss, Oct 23, 1907.
Dear Sir-Replying to your two let.
ters of the 20 with reference to the
Junior Order of United American Me-
chanics, in which you enclose folder
of the order, beg to advise that this
concern is NOT licensed to do busi-
ness in this State and If they are do
ing business they are doing so in vio-
lation of our laws and should be
stopped.
Yours very truly,

The most favorable incident of the
day was the sending of $15,000,000 to
the Stock Exchange by the Morgan
pool which caused an immediate up
turn in prices.
This afternoon Clark Wilmer, new
| ly appointed superintendent of bank
ing affirmed the solvency of all local
institutions operating under the laws
of New York.
Among the further encouraging de-
velopments was the unofficial deci-
sion to issue clearing house certifi.

banks to settle balances between
themselves with these certificates,
thereby releasing large sums for reg
ular needs. 1t is believed that there
will be no further anxiety regarding
the supply of currency.
Foreign exchange declined rapidly
during the afternoon, and this was
taken as another favorable indica-
ton.
Financiers believe that conditions
will be better Saturday and that by
Monday the cloud may entirely dis.
appear. The fact that the country
has the finest crops in its history, and
that the tide of gold from abroad will
soon set in is the basis for the hope.
The banks and the stock exchange
will only be open two hours tomor-
row, hence practically two days will
be given over to a study of conditions
and remedies by the financiers.

In Behalf Of Fairgrounds.

The public playground movement in
Washington has generally been considered
by the people in the community from the
two standpoints Of exercise and fun. To
give the growing boy or girl sufficient and
proper exercise, to keep pace with the rapid
physical and mental unfolding which takes
place during the school period, is regarded
as no mean task. To supply the fun which
is fundamental to every well-rounded char
acter and without which a person soon be-
comes social outcast, is also task too
important to be lightly passed over One
of the great possibilities in the playground
bility which receives the careful attention
of those in charge of this work is to be
found in the fact that this exercise and
play Is directed. The children are not told
to go out and exercise or go out and
play they are invited to join in learning
and playing games. Each playground has
a play director who seeks to draw out the
latent possibilities in the boys and girls.
A visit to one of these small yards and
careful study of the methods in vogue are re-
garded as the best kind of education for
the one who wishes to understand the mod
ern expansion of school activity and see at
first hand some lessons In practical psychol-
ogy.
The appeal to the school children to help
in supporting this movement, which means
so much to them, will, 1t is believed. secure
the money necessary. A total of 5000 has
been secured and 5000 is necessary.
