floor.

cation Of the cost of carrying second class

comparative rates paid by the United
States government and the express COM

calls OF the second class; and as to the
rate paid by the United States and the

Embodies Combined Thought
of President and Cabinet

The federal Incorporation BILL en-
bodying the recommendations submit
ted by President Taft i'm his special
trust message of a month or more ago.
was introduced in the Senate and House
today by Senator Clark of Wyoming, and
Representative Parker of New Jersey
chairman of the Judiciary committees Of
the two branches of Congress. There are
many points of dssimilarity between the
bill as introduced today and the original
draft as prepared by the President Seri-
Gus and long continued consideration of
the measure resulted in many changes
In the House reference of the bill to
the judiciary committee was made with
out objection, but in the Senate Mr. New
lands opposed the second reading of the
bill and gave notice that tomorrow he
would ask to have 1t referred to the
committee on interstate commerce. Mr.
Clark stated that the measure involves
legal points which only the judiciary
committee could deal with properly
A draft of this important blIi provides
that no corporation formed under the
terms of the proposed act will he per-
mitted to purchase, acquire or hold stock
in any other corporation. nor could any
corporation organized under the act, or
under the laws of any state or foreign
country for the purpose of, or engaged in
any like business acquire or hold the
stock of a corporation formed under this
act, and no such corporation would be
permitted to have banking powers.
Formulated by Cabinet
The bill represents the combined
thought and work during several months
past of Attorney General Wickersham,
President Taft and the rest of his cabi-
net advisers. AS a result of frequent
ca binet meeting discussions of the bill the
present draft differs greatly from that
originally presented by Attorney General
WickerSham to the Presidents considera-
ton. The President believes that the
careful consideration given to the bill by
trained lawyers of his cabinet has pro-
duced a measure that will stand the test
bothN of congressional discussion and of
Supreme Court decision.
Forfeiture of charter may result if any
corporation organized under the act shall
enter into any contract or combination
or engage in any conspiracy against in
terstate or foreign trade or commerce, or
shall mOnOpOliZe or attempt to mOnOpO-
lie any part thereof contrary to the
provisions of the Sherman act or shall
otherwise violate the laws of the United
States. The charters Of all corporations
are made subject to alteration, suspen-
sion or repeal by Congress. The Attor-
ney General is given power to bring for
fixture proceedings and the court may
appoint a receiver.
Annual reports must be filed with the
bureau of corporations. and the commits
sioner of the bureau may call for special
reports. Ten days after the declaration

THE POTOMAC
BILL IN SENATE TO KEEP
WATER FRONT CLEAN.
Provides Penalties for Throwing
Trash in River and Obstruct-
ing Navigation.

The City Beautiful'' idea will be ex-
tended to the Potomac river and its
tributaries in the Districts limits If a
bill presented today in the Senate be-
comes a law. Senator Newlands intro
duced the measure by request, and 1t
proposes to amend section sos of the Dis
trict code. making harbor regulations.
Watermelon remnants, oyster shells and
decayed fruit and vegeta bles will no long
er be conspicuous along the river front,
and ashes will no longer line its banks,
If the amendment is adopted.
Keep Trash From Water.
The bill proposes to make it unlawful
to drop any dead fish, dead animals. con-
demned oysters. watermelons, canta-
loupes, vegetables, fruits, shavings. hay,
straw, ice, snow, filth or trash of any
kind into the waters of the Potomac or
any of it's tributaries.
Another paragraph of the proposed
amendment. which is of particular inter-
est to boat and wharf owners, is design
ed to prevent distractions to navigation
and to the use of the Wharves. Com
plants have been made that the use of
some wharves to it's fullest extent is now
impossible, because of harbor regulations
allowing boats lying at one wharf to
overlap another wharf. There is also
complaint that stones and similar obstruc-
tons to navigation are allowed to drop
into the water from boats hauling such
things.
