NATIONAL INCORPORATION

Attorney General Wickcrsham, in ms
address at tho annual banquet ut the
Commercial Club of Kansas City on
Thursday evening, struck the keynote
in the matter of national incorporation
He favors national incorporation law
aud thinks that should such q law
demonstrate its value, it might be wise
ultimately to prohibit State corpora
tioDs from engaging in interstate com
mcrce.
That is the true. logical position to
take in all this controversy. 1t IS
the correct application OF the constitn'
tional grant of power TO Congress to
control interstate commerce. 1t is the
only basis upon which Congress can
properly act in n great many matters
relating TO that commerce and to the
protection of those engaging or engaged
in It,
While it is entirely proper for every
State TO give due faith and credit to
the acts of the several States, 1t is Ger
tainly an anomoly for one State 10
grant corporate rights 10 do business IN
other States; and vet that is what we
have now, an entirely illogical position
Since the bulk of our commerce is IN
tcrsiate commerce and since the Fed
cral constitution clearly and uurescrVcd'
ly gives Congress the regulation of that
commerce. the legitimate and natural
conclusion is that where corporations do
interstate business they should take out
national Incorporation.
The laws of ono State are not opera
tive in another. They have no claim 10
be. There is no reason, therefore, why
a statute of incorporation in one State
should be operative in another, or con
fer any cxtra-State privileges upon the
incorporation so State chartered. The
voting privilege and other privileges OF
the citizen are defined by each State
for itself Tho banking business is
lcgisatcd upon by each State for itself
In all forms of business, except inter
state commerce, each Stale acts Tor 1T
self, exclusively. There has been, 1t Is
true comfy between the States which
recognizes the charters of transportation
companies. and yet that comfy is nel
ther consistent with out general plan
of State government, nor does 1t N
any way recognize the Constitutions
supervision of Congress in interstate
commerce.
Mr.. Wickersham has struck the true
notc of this whole corporation business

IDEAS must ultimately be enacted into
laws. and enforced throughout the Re

STILL ANOTHER TO ADD.

And still they come The Tribune has
received communication which in
forms this paper that the list of new
polygamists whose names we have print.
cd is not yet complete. The letter calls
attention TO one Elder Arthur W. Hart.
In giving the names of known new
polygamists heretofore, The Tribune has
stated that it by no means meant 10
say that the list was a complete ono; that

enumeration chiefly to those members

But as TO Elder Arthur w Hart. He
lives at Preston, Idaho. He is a LAWYER
"a fact that renders his oircuse the

and in that his crime has insulted a

PRAISE FROM THE ENEMY.

Emphatic testimony IS Dorno by inc
business editor of tho SmooC Mouth
to the efficacy of American rule IN this
city. Yesterday morning, speaking of
the new Moxum hotel, corner of State
and Fourth South streets in this city,
he said. "Threc years ago the men
who proposed the erection of Il modern
hotel building on Fourth South and
State streets would have been regarded
as a curiosity in business circles OF
Salt Lake and his proposed investment
would have been regarded in the light
of piece Of monumental folly And
then he proceeds TO show the excellent
results which were reached in the con
struction of that hotel, how it was a
success from the first, and everything
as rosy as could be desired.
Three years ago was 1906. The Amer
lean party had been in power less than
one year. The lethargy and paralysis
of the former church rule had not been
altogether thrown off. A good many
distrusted- the ability of the American
party TO maintain itself and continue

and making of it great metropolis.
II S first victory, a good many thought,
could not be repeated. Confidence in
the vital change for The better could
not be fully established in an admin,
istration of less than one year, Con
sequcntly, The remark of the business
editor of the "bunch'' organ is quite
correct: and we may say, by way of
aside, that it is extremely rare that
VIC can find anything in that paper that
can be thus commended.
But the results have splcndidly vim
dicated the progress. the ability and the
staying power of the American party,
so that now the investment made in the
construction of that hotel is not only
seen to be frSt-class. but it is only
one of Il large number Of investments,
some Of them many times greater than
that. made and contemplated in that

the heirs of the Walker estate. And
what is going on in that part of town
is only a sample of what is going on
elsewhere, others especially noteworthy
being the Kcarns building on the west
side of Main street between First and
Second South streets, and the contem,

All arc wonderful tributes to the en-
livening, vital administration of the
clty's affairs by the American party.

party have given the programme of i'm
