which is to be expended on improve
ments and new construction, the steel
companies contracting for the expen-

amounting to more than $410,000,-
900 already on the books of a few of
the leading companies in the princi-

this country in the next twelve months
is expected by trade experts to be the
largest ever known in our domestic
trade.
So far as the railroads are. con-
cerned, stock market authorities pre-
dict that before the year is out new
securities will be placed on sale that
will bring the total for the twelve
months up to the enormous sum of
$1,000, 600, 900, and probably ST.

TAFT URGES REFORMS
PREVENTION OF OVERCAPITAL-
IZATION OF CORPORATIONS.
National Corporation Act Allow
Traffic Agreements, What Next
Message Will Contain.

Beverly, Nass.-A national corpora
ton act, legislative approval Of railroad
tariff agreements and prevention of the
overcapitalization of corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce., are three
of the reforms that will be urged upon
Congress by President Taft next Decem-
Der. To these may be added a fourth
Introduction against any interstate rail
way acquiring stock in a competing line.
These reforms, all of them part of the
general legislative program of the presi-
dent, will be taken up early next week
at a conference to be held in New York
between Attorney General Wickersham,
Solicitor General Bowers, Interstate Com
merce Commissioners Prouty and Knapp,
Secretary Nagel of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, and Representative
Townsend of Michigan.
One of the reforms which the attorney
general will urge upon the president and
which is altogether likely to be the sub
ject of further recommendations to Con.
gress is a law providing for a national
incorporation to carry interstate COM
merce. Mr.. Wickersham has made a
study of State control of foreign corpo.
r~ations. He believes that a national IN
corporation law is the natural result of
economic conditions.
