MANY familiar faces will be missing
from the United States Senate and
House of Representatives when the
life of the Sixtieth Congress expired
by limitation Thursday. Seldom, ex-
cept In those years when the complex
ion of the national administration has
been changed by a political landslide,
have there been so many changes of
Importance in the personnel of the
national lawmaking body as were
brought about by the elections of last
November. AS evidence of the truth
of this statement, it is only necessary
to cite the fact that in the Sixty first
Congress there will be mere than sew
enty-tiye new members in the House
alone. Colorado's whole delegation,
for instance, will be new to the halls
of legislation. Indiana will have eight
new men in the House, New York
seven, Missouri six, Iowa five, aAd so
on through almost the entire roster
OF the States.

THEdecision of the court of chan
Gerry refusing to enjoin the proposed
merger and consolidation Of the United
States and Central Leather companies
was reversed by the court of errors
and appeals Monday. The records
were ordered remitted for such further
proceedings as may be decided upon to
prevent the merger. The opinion of
the court OF errors, written by Chan
'cellor Pitney, is the first judicial ut
terance in the state upon the ques-
tions presented, and is regarded by
lawyers as one of the most sweeping
decisions affecting corporations which
has been handed down to recent years.
In substance, the court holds that I'M
der act of 1893. relative to the merger
and consolidation of corporations and
the general corporation act as revised
in 1896, there is no authority for the
consolidation of corporations, except
such as are Organized for the purpose
of carrying On business of the same or
similar nature.

If any one imagined that the in
duction of President Taft into office
meant the changing of the general
policy of the previous administration
he will be undeceived on reading the
inaugural address of the new presi-
dent which is printed in full in this
issue. He speaks out strongly for the
enforcement Of the law whether 1t ap-
plies to trusts or labor unions, and so
with every issue before the country he
speaks with no uncertain sound. A
summary of the salient points of the
address are: Enforcement of trust
and railroad reforms initiated by
Roosevelt. The enactment of amend
ments to corporation laws whereby
legitimate business shall be protected.
Extra session of Congress to consider
revision Of the tariff. Federal laws to
secure the conservation of our natural
resources Panama Canal bond issue,
so that future generations may share
the expense burden. Cost of improv-
ing national waterways may also be
distributed by bonding system. The
maintenance of a regular army and
militia capable OF furnishing an ex-
peditionary force, in time of emer-
gency, sufficient to uphold the Monroe
Doctrine Maintenance OF a great
navy is the. best conservator of peace.
Mutual concessions necessary to mini
mize the Asiatic immigration danger
Federal power to compel all States to
live up to international treaties that
guarantee protection to aliens. Re-
form Of our monetary system in order
TO produce greater elasticity in availa-
bic currency A postal savings bank
system that will eliminate the scheme
OF government guarantee of deposits
in savings banks. Free trade with the
Philippines, An increase in the good |
feeling between North and South.
EducatioBa1 qualities necessary to OBJ
tain the right to vote. Recognition
OF the progressive negro. Employers
liability law. No privileged labor
class. Business property right that |
can be protected by equitable injunc-
tion. The boycott is an instrument
of tyranny. Sustain the authority of

he was worth $4,000 900, and who

worth a dollar today. According to
his sworn statement made In the
Tombs Prison. he doesn't own a
piece of real estate nor single
share of stock nor single bond Of
all the companies aud properties
that he controlled two years ago.
His interest in the Consolidated
steamship Company. which he had
designed 10 control the whole Allan
tic COastwisc traffic, Is no more than
that of an Office boy. lie owns no
more of the ice trust which he
created than does the humblest Citi-
zen.
And he Is worse of even than that.
For he is In debt and he cant pay
the judgments against him. More

IS in effect that proper construc-

clause prohibits the transportation
by railroad companies only Of COM
moditibs owned in whole or in part
by such companies at the time of
transportation, and that 1t does not
prohibit them from transporting
commodities manufactured, mined or
PRODUCED by them previous to such
transportation which are not owned
by them AT the time Of transporta-
ton. and further that It does not
apply TO transportation of commo-
dities owned by other corporations
in which the transporting railroad
company has stock interest, al
though Congress has the power to
extend the prohibition to the last
mentioned cause, II It shall see fit
to exercise It.
The recognition OF the power In
Congress TO extend the prohibition
to commodities mined, manufactured

the carrier Is a stock owner makes IL
possible for Congress by further leg
islation tc prevent an evasion of the

commodities clause prohibits the car

stock of corporation which owns

to prevent It from transporting.
The decision does not sustain the
p full contention of either the govern

D construction of the statute different

however, sustains the principle con-
tended for by the government that
