PADUCAH. KY. july Congress
should control the organization OF
corporations doing an interstate bUsi-
ness. according to an address deliv-
cred before the State Bar Association
by George W. W1ckersham, attorney
general OF the United States, tonight.
The address was notable chiefly for
the Recommendation that Congress
should enact a law providing for
nationally created corporations to
carry on Interstate commerce.
Mr. Wickershan explained the
ways by which states may regulate
business OF foreign corporations with
In their boundaries. Many will OBJ
Jet to the tendency OF national law
authorizing the formation OF corpora
ticns to carry on Interstate business"
Said MIR Wickersham, but such a
law seems to me TO be the inevitable
result Of economic conditions
Corporations Not Citizens.
Mr. wickersham quoted decisions to
show that corporations are not citi-
zens in the meaning OF the federal
constitutional requirements that citi-
zens OF each state should be en-
titled to all the privileges and i'm
muities of citizens Of the United
States: that the power OF state 20

correlative OF its authority 70 prevent
such corporation from coming into
the state: and that the state in pass
ing On these questions might take
cognizance of acts done elsewhere.
As TO the status CT corporations Mr.
Wickersham said they we're ~persons
who would be deprived Of life. liberty
CT property only by dne process Of
law. He arzned that the imposition
OF higher license fees on foreign than
On domestic corporations had been
