President Taft has prepared much of
his program for six or eight months.
just as soon as the tariff bill is out
of the way, he has promised to work
out recommendations for reform legis-
lation in line with the Roosevelt poll
cies for the control of railroads and
other corporations. He has said with
in day or two, as demonstrating some
thing of his general purpose, that he
wishes to urge as few and as brief
amendments to the Sherman antitrust
law as may be. He does not want to
disturb business by sweeping legisla-
tive changes; neither does he want leg
slation so sweeping that it will render
useless a large body of judicial opinions

laws. He viii not encourage Congress
