Panama. Feb. 3.-William H. Taft

day and had an opportunity to look
into the matter of the breakwater
which it is proposed to construct
there.
The engineers have decided to rec
ommend that breakwaters be built
from Colon and Point Toro. which will
better protect the Caribbean en-
trance of the canal and form a safe
harbor. The cost of these breakwaters
will be s1O,OO0,O00, the same amount
estimated in the old plan for a break

New York, Feb. 3.-The National

return of some, If not all, of the Span

a voluntary system and corporate CO.
operation can be secured.
Recognition by the government of
right TO combine under proper regula-
ton.
Administrative rather than judicial
supervision.
Illustrative of Plans Value.
Illustrative of publicity's value, the
report cites experience of the corpor-
alton bureau during the last five year.
When" says the commissioner, "the
great system of secret and semi-secret
railway determinations enjoyed by the
Standard Oil company was made pub
lie by the bureau in 1906 the railroads
concerned therein at once voluntarily
cancelled every rate thus criticised as
illegal. Again and again the mere ex-
posure of improper business methods
mas led to their abandonment without
any further action
But now, it is complained, the work
of the bureau is restricted to a COM
lparatively small scope, and the con-
troll by the federal government should
be broadened into a general construc-
| tive system based on these tested
principles of supervision, publicity, and
| cooperation
There is an irresistible movement,
says the report, toward concentration
in business. We must definitely recog
nize this as an inevitable economic
law. We must also recognize the fact
that industrial concentration is already
largely accomplished, in spite of gen.
eral statutory prohibition.
Regulation the Only Way.
Recognizing these facts, the aim OF
new legislation should be to regulate
rather than TO prohibit combination
1t is an obvious absurdity to attempt
to do both at the same time, and pho
hibition has practically failed"

Columbia and the territories and some
of the states. Indeed, there is a SINH
lar law in Japan, and the government
of that country consequently could not
regard it as anti-Japanese legislation
if adopted in California. The presi-
dent has entire confidence in the peo
pie of the Pacific coast, and is certain
they will do right in this matter.
The administration is much pleased
with the tone of the speech of Premier
komura in the Japanese diet yester-
day, as it touched upon the relations
between America and Japan.
PASSES Resolution.
Carson, New, Feb. 3.-The assembly
of the Nevada Legislature yesterday
afternoon accepted the anti-JapaneSe
resolution to the California legisla-
ture after it had been so amended that
all reference to President Roosevelt
had been eliminated.
The resolution. which was remark
able in the violence of the language
used, urged the California legislature
to pass the bills forbidding Japanese
from holding lands in the state and
segregating them in separate sections
of the cities. 1t referred to the Japan
ese as parasites of the earth,' de-
clared that they would injure any
country in which they might settle,
and urged rigid exclusion, even at the
cost of war. 1t also urged the Califor-
MIA legislature to ignore the attempts
of President Roosevelt for his "un
called for interference and coercion -
Conference Makes Changes.
Prior to calling up the resolution
there was a conference of both politi-
cal parties and an effort was made 20
modify it to the extent that the CEN
sure of the president be omitted. This
was done by amendment.
1t was given out that Governor Dick
erson opposed the measure in it's ori-
ginal form. While he was credited
with favoring the exclusion portion IF
, the measure, ne did not approve of the
language of the resolution.

Yesterday in Congress

Washington, Feb. 3.-Following is
summary, compiled from the official
proceedings, of the work of both
houses of congress yesterday:
HOUSE-The house locked horns with
the senate on the question of automo-
biles for the White house and refused
to accept an amendment to the urgent
deficiency bill striking out the appro-
priation of $4,000 for that purpose.
The bill was sent to conference after Il
humorous debate, in which several men,
bers took occasion to refer to the bod
lily proportions of the preSident-elect.
The hopes of the army for sufficient mon
ey to continue its experiments in aero
nautics We're blasted when the house
reconsidered its action of last week and.
by a vote of almost to !. withdrew
the increase of 100000 then made. Af-
ter undergoing this and other amend
mentS the army appropriation bill was
passed and consideration of the agri-
lcultural bill Immediately begun. Under
license of debate on the latter measure
Mr.. Keifer made an exhaustive speech
in support of his bill for a ship canal
from Toledo to Cincinnati. Mr.. Ans
berry of Ohio spoke in advocacy of n
ship canal from Chicago to Toledo. and
Mr.. Larrinaga. delegate from Porto
Rico, urged duty on other than Porto
Rican coffee entering the United States.
| SENATE-An agreement was reached
| in the senate to vote Feb. % on the
Aldrich substitute bill for the appoint
ment of court of inquiry to deter
mine the qualifications for reenlistment
| of the discharged soldiers of the 25th
infantry the result of the Browns

poses. A large part of the day was

Makes Proposition to
Take Missouri as Part
ner in Business.
AFTER CUSTER ACTION
Object Said to be to Assure
Commonwealth of Lawful
ness of Methods.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 3.-Attor-
ney General Major today filed in the
state supreme court a suggestion that
If the court decides to have a hearing
on the motion filed yesterday by the
Standard Oil company of Indiana that
the state be allowed to be represented.
The document does not reveal the eN-
act stand to be taken by the state. but
1t is thought the attorney general will
endeavor to have enforced the points
agreed upon in last nights conference
on the case at the executive mansion
Points in Brief.
These points in brief are:
There must be an increase in the
fines levied against the company and
its subsidiaries if the court is dis
posed to modify the decree of custer.
There must be some provision for
effective supervision of the oil busi-
ness by the state whether along the
lines suggested by the companies or
otherwise.
The attitude of the Waters-Pierce
company has not yet been revealed
here.
Would Make State Partner.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 3.-The
proposition of the Standard Oil com.
pany to take the state of Missouri
into partnership in the management
of its business within the state is
looked upon with some favor in Off
cial circles. 1t ultimately will be pass
ed upon by the supreme court. and of
course the judges cannot discuss the
| matter now
1t develops that before making the
proposition the Standard Oil people
had discussed it with Herbert s. Had
ley and Elliott w. Major The officials
| considered it favorably but insisted
that any modification of the order
must carry with it a substantial in
crease of the fine imposed on the com.
pany. 1t is not impossible that the
fine may be raised even as high as half
q million dollars and the arrangement
made that the state take half of the
management of the new organization.
| THE proposition is so thoroughly
unique" Attorney General Major said.
that it will require considerable
study before one can tell just how it
/ will work out. | never heard of such
a proposition being made by a corpor-
alton to any state, but, for that mat
ter l never heard of corporation
with millions in property facing this
proposition of being thrown out of a
state for violating its laws.
Il take it that the proposition means
the supreme court shall appoint one
of the two trustees and the Standard
Oil the other. A Missouri corporation
is likely to be looked upon with more
favor than an outside company. and il
the state has half the management of
the company it ought to keep it within
the law
Frank Hager.nan, counsel for the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, yes
+ terday discussed his company's part
nership proposition in the Missouri
court.
Our partnership offer may seem 0
. bit startling" said Mr.. Hagerman, "bn'
: we can think of no fairer way to con
, vince the state and the people tina,
they are to get square deal. w:
have told the state to step in ant
: watch us carefully. If prices doni

Says Tendency to Combine is Irresist.

the Government.

Washington. Feb. .3-.Corporate-p pub
licity through a federal office" is the
phrase which Herbert Knox Smith,
United States commissioner of corpor-
ations, describes the next step which
the government is admonished to take
in handling the trust problem.
Prohibition has practically failed"
to prevent great industrial combina-
tons, declares the commissioner in
the annual report of his bureaus work
to the secretary of commerce and la
Dor. Legislation, therefore, to regu-
late, rather than prohibit, is recon-
mended, in recognition of inevitable
economic law" and "an irresistible
movement toward concentration in bus
mess"
Preliminary to plunging into this
phase and feature of his report the
commissioner briefly reviews work for
the one year naturally embraced, and
: for the five years the bureau of cor
porations has been in existence. This
review to some extent serves to EN-
Iphasize the logic of the advanced step
now recommended.
