ia, who wanted to kill some beaver
which he said were flooding his land,
has refused to comply with the law re,
quiring that half the skins be turned
over to the state.
The rancher told the warden that he
wanted the skins to make coats for his
wife and family. and this has made
Commissioner Holland suspect that
possibly the high price Of beaver pelts
just now has as much to do with the
stories of flooded lands as anything
else. In future he will see that the
investigation Of all applications for
permission to kill beavers are invest
gated in the strictest fashion before
the permits are granted.

INCORPORATION
BILL INTRODUCED
PRESIDENT FATHERS THE MEAS.
URE, BUT SAYS HE WILL
NOT PUSH IT.
CORPORATIONS WARY
NOT INTENDED TO GIVE RELIEF
FROM PROVISIONS OF ANTI
TRUST ACT.

Washington.-The federal incorpo-
ration bill whicn was introduced in
Congress Monday is not to be present
ed for passage at this session.
If the bill should pass, President
Taft has stated his willingness to
stand as its sponsor and to take the
responsibility for having recommend
ed it.
Further than this, the President
told several callers that he would
not make the Incorporation bill as an
administration measure.
He declared he felt he had no right
to do SO, and that it did not rank with
the proposed amendments to the inter-
state commerce law, the postal saw
ings banks and the measures designed
for the conservation of natural re-
sources.
These latter were promised in the
platform upon which the President
was elected and he feels that the
party is responsible for their passage
at this session of Congress.
President Taft believes that there
are many things in the incorporation
bill that will commend themselves to
the legislators as they study the meas
ure. He will not attempt to influence
senators and representatives in it's IA
vor, however. The bill now goes to
the judiciary committee of Congress
for consideration.
Wall street interests, inclined at
first to look upon the idea of federal
charter with the utmost favor, were
rather rudely awakened when it was
learned that the President would in
sist that in any bill passed on this
subject there should be included the
provision that nothing in the act
should be construed as eXempting cor
porations from the operation of the
antitrust act. A great many corpora
tions were looking forward to fed
eral charter as an indication that past
sins were forgiven, provided there
were no more transgressions in. the
future.
Frank D. Vanderlip and George W.
Perkins of New York, who saw the
President last week, told him that the
corporate interests were anything but
pleased with the character of the pro-
posed measure and that few, if any,
corporations would take advantage
of the act.
The President, it is understood, re-
torted that the act was a voluntary
one and that the corporations that did
not care to come under federal control
need not do so. He thought in time,
however, that the simplicity Of doing
business throughout the country, once
the provisions of the act were COM
piled with, would appeal to corpora
tions and that they would come to see
the many advantages that the act con-
tains.
AS to exempting companies with
federal charters from the operation of
the antitrust law, the President said
that was impossible. The constitu-
tIonality of the proposed act is seri-
GUS question, however, as it would de-
prive the states of jurisdiction over
corporations holding federal charters.
