BEGINS PREPARATION. OF sPE-
clAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
ASKING LEGISLATION.
AMENDMENTS NECESSARY TO
COMMERCE AND TRUST ACTS
Will Outline His Plans For. Issuing
Federal Licenses to Corporations,
Placing Them Under Federal Pro-
lection and control-Questions Given
Much Thought.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-President Taft
today began the preparation of the
first of his special messages to con-
gress This message will deal with
amendments which he believes neces-
sary in the Interstate commerce and
Sherman anti-trust acts.
Recent reports to the contrary not
withstandiug, it is known that the
president Will take uE the antitrust
act and deal with it at great length
He also will bring forward his ideas
as to issuing federal licenses to cor
poraticns. The proposed license will be
voluntary one, to be taken advantage
of by such corporations as desire to
place themselves undrr federal juris-
diction, or left alone, as the directors
of the corporations see fit.
The president and cabinet, together
with the interstate commerce commits
sioners, have given more thought and
study to needed changes in the inter-
state commerce and anti trust acts
than to any other subjects since the
beginning of the present administra-
ton. The president has outlined his
views in general terms in speeches he
has made from time to time since his
inauguration, and they have become
pretty generally known.
