ical publishers licensed to transmit

Such law as he urges is to be one
under which the executive branch Of
the government would have Just such
unchecked power as the courts say
the postmaster general possesses.
They accord him power to do thin s
within the scope OF discretion accord
ed by law which not even the supreme
court of the United States may re-
view. So President Roosevelt would
have it in the supervision and control
OF all business corporations. Such a
law" he said to congress in his mes
sage, ito be really effective must, Of
course, be administered by an execu-
tive body, and not merely by means
Of lawsuits"
1t is not necessary to picture the
tremendous power a law OF this kind
would give the executive branch Of
the national government. 1t is a
power that has stirred a storm of com
plant against the postal department,
but that is merely g zephyr beside
the whirlwind that would sweep the
country when realization Of the au-
thority given the secretary of COM
merce came to the business interest,
if such law as congress is asked to
enact should be granted. 1t is quite
safe to say the recommendation will
disappear forever in the committee
to which It Is referred.

CONTROLLING
CORPORATIONS.

Business having been centralized,
Capitalization of control is also nee
,ssary, is the cry of those who de-
nand federal charters for corpora
tons engaging in interstate COM
merce. The excuse is specious, but
the reason absurd. The states can
take care Of the big corporations very
easily If the federal courts will let
them, says the st. Louis Republic.
AS a matter Of fact, ii is the man
ayers of the great corporations who
are back OF the movement for feder
al Incorporation They want to shell
ter their companies and their bust
ness under the cloak of national
charter because they believe the power
of the individual states has been and
will be used to their injury. The pre-
tense that supervision can only be
effectively exercised by a sovereign
whose Jurisdiction is coextensiye with
the field work Of the corporations" is
constantly contradicted by the com
plant that the power Of the states is
oppressively exercised.
There is a measure Of reason in
the objection that the corporation do
ing business in number of states
is Inconvenience, IL not actually ha-
raised. by the varying laws it must
meet, but that inconvenience is an
essential incident TO our form OF gov
eminent through federated states. I'm
doubtedly our federation has its in
conveniences, but today, Just as much
as In the day when our national con-
stitution was adopted, it is wise 70 en-
aure the Inconvenience of our pc
euliar form OF government in order
to enjoy the benefits which its check
upon centralized power affords.
What dangers we should invite If
the national government took up the
control Of all the corporations doing
an interstate business may be gath
cred from the program outlined in
President Roosevelt's message to con
gress last week. He would have them
barred from interstate commerce un-
til a federal license is obtained. He
would make an oEcial valuation Of
the property Of the railroads, at least,
and possibly all corporations char
tered by the United States. He would
have the government prevent their
engaging I'm unhealthy competition"
but would grant permission for "reas-
enable agreements restricting compe-
tition. And these but begin the cata
logue.
President Roosevelt told congress
that what he seeks is such a supervi-
sion Of corporations generally as the.
national government now exercises
over national banks But the things
he would have the government do
smack even more Of downright des-
potism than anything the comptroller
Of the currency may 10 under the au-
hority given him by the national
banking law, The thing Mr.. Roose-
reit seeks is evidently the larger au-
lhority the postal department e1er-
