Two Ways Available.

Senator Newlands contended this could
be done in two ways-ether by national
incorporation which would make the
trusts the creatures of the national gov
eminent, subject in every detail of their
capitalization, their practices and their
operations to the national direction and
control; or by national license given to
ditions upon which they would be per-
and preventing them from engaging in
such commerce unless they obeyed the
conditions.
He declared that for many years he had
favored the national Incorporation of
transportation companies, for the reason
that interstate transportation constituted
three-fourths of the total business of
common carriers; that it was an economic
necessity that we should have great trunk
lines from ocean to ocean and from lakes
to the gulf; that it was Illegal to permit
the lesser sovereign of the state to create
the corporation that was to do the greater
sovereign's business; and that, without
freeing such common carriers from state
taxation, state control as to purely state
commerce, and state control in the exer-
else of police power, 1t was essential that
the agency should be created by the SOW
ereign whose jurisdiction was as broad
as interstate commerce itself. He had
thought that this could be effected with
out freeing such corporations either from
state taxation. the state police power, the
state regulation of purely state commerce.
or the jurisdiction of state courts in mat
tiers, not affecting federal questions

Question Before Country.

This great economic question, there
fore. before the country" he concluded
whether monopoly in trading should be
absolutely b:oken up through the de-
cisions of the courts, including also the
tendency toward monopoly, and these
great trading corporations, combining
enormous capital and business, and manu-
featuring plants in numerous states,
should be broken up into their constituent
elements, each separated f ON the other
and forced into active competition with
the others: or whether the principle Of
combination should be recognized as one
of the advanced economic forces of the
age and the monopoly features guarded
against by regulation as to excessive
capitalization, excessive dividends and ex-
.essive prices"

other Contrasts Furnished.

The evidence of support was not the
only striking feature of difference from
yesterdays market. Other contrasts were
furnished by the pronounced tendency to

Control Of Capital Not Sufficient


But the control of capitalization would
not be sufficient, he maintained: it would
be necessary to go beyond that, and to
provide a tribunal similar to the inter-
state CONNIE ce commission, or to pro-
vide for a branch Of the interstate COM
merce commission, whose jurisdiction 1t
would be to prevent the abuse Of mo-
nopoly, either by condemning unreasonable
prices or by egulating the details of the
corporation itself. Through the latter
method, reasonable prices would be in
directly secured: tn ough the former
+, asonable prices would be directly Sc
cured. If monopoly in trading enter
prises was to be ecognized in any way,
they must then be regarded as public
corporations, and as such subject to gov
ernmental control in their practices and
their prices, the same as the water
light companies and the railroad COM
panies of the land

Still Undecided.

He had not yet been able. he said,
either to fully consider or to come to a
conclusion regarding the question of the
nat'onal Incorporation of great trading
combinations who-e existence was a part
of the economic development of the time.
whose extensive operations. both in in
terstate and foreign commerce. were in
many respects beneficial, and whose
abuses had thus far grown out of the
inabil ty of the state to control state
made corporations in the broad realm of
interstate commerce.
He approached the que ~tion as to such
trading corporations, he declared, with
absolutely an open mind, being as y t
undetermined whether these evils should
be met by creating a nat onal agency for
engaging in interstate trade. or whether
they would be best met by licensing state
COZ porations DESTROYS of engaging in such
trade.
He contended that these great industrial
corporal ons necessarily created monopoly,
and that If it was to be licensed in the
exercise of monopoly, the license m st be
accompanied by rigid control that wou d
protect the public from extortion. This
necessarily involved the control Of the
cap talization. for it was through swollen
capitalization and the profits necessa y
to sustain it that extortionate prices be-
came necessary.

In a poor log house in Hardin
county, Abraham Lincoln, or
ABE" as he was known through
life was born in 1909. His home
was not as good as barns are today,
and stood in the midst of dark
forest, where at night when he lay
on his bed he could hear the howls
of the wolves. Few of the folks
who lived near could read or write
and there were no schools at that
time where boy could learn. A
man Shat knew more than the rest
would take few boys and girls
and teach them for a small sum at
his own house and ABE as we
shall call him when not much
more than six years of age was one
of this class. From the first he
took to his books, school life
pleased him the more and
more he had of it, he showed
that he could learn with ease his
tasks hard as they might be. He
could not get much help at home
as there were but three old books
in the house, a church book, the
word of God and a speller, it was
not long before the boy knew them
all by heart. In the still hours of
night, by dim light, he would
work on his books while the rest
were asleep. When ABE" had
been in school only year he knew
more than boy of twelve. But
at this time his parents sold their
home and moved to the far West,
where the land was cheap, not
long after they moved Abe's moth
er died. and poor little Abe was
heart broken, but not long after
the father married. Abe had a
stepmother with three childred,
she helped him with his studies.
When he got to be a young man,
they put him in charge of a flat
boat He was not very old
when be became a lawyer and was
then elected President of the Uni
