The citizens of st. Elmo suburb had an
enthusiastic meeting and laid plans for
a movement to take care of the small
boys and keep them TOUT of mischief The
project is for the present to be in the
hands of an organization of citizens head
ed by the mayor. The plan, in brief, pro-
vides for a chartered association, COM
posed of a number of citizens, subscribing
so or 800, to buy properties in the way of
stock. In other words. it is proposed to
purchase a suitable site for pleasure

paraphernalia and other ways in which
the bows can pass away their idle mo-

company as a lost package. was decided
in the police court by Judge Fleming,
who not only awarded the bottle to the
street car company, but fined Patton SIC

case to higher courts and fight it to the

Question of Regulation

Among the more important appears
TO be the question whether or not
the national government may and
should authorize and regulate the or
ganization and conduct of federal cor
porations. Only a few years ago the
bare suggestion of such an idea filled
the public mind with dismay. The au-
thority was denied and the policy was
questioned. Today the irreconcilable
conflicts to which ordinary business or
ganizations are subjected in our states
have forced a general recognition of
the fact that something must be done
to relieve the situation. This idea is
not limited to any particular local
ity of our ccrrptry, or to any espe-
cial class. Frdm all parts, east and
west, north and south, city and coun-
try, come the suggestions that some
RELIEF upon these lines must be work ed
out. The proposition has Vpw been
squarely put before the couAtry. The
President of the United states has
made a distinct recommendation in a
message, calling attention to the needs
form to which legislators and constit-
uentg may give their attention.
I'm considering this proposition we
have therefore to determine, first has
the national government through Con-
gress the power to authorize the or
ganization of federal corporations? Sec
ond, what are the conditions that make
legislation of this kind advisable?
Third, what would be the more marked
consequences of such legislation?

Escape From Law

again the question has been mooted in
some quarters whether a federal corpora
ton statute would not permit large con-
Germs to escape some of the laws nhibi
tons which are now provided against
them In that respect | entertain no fear
at all If the mere amount of capital is
In itself to be recognized as objection,
then there is no reason why the federal
law should not fix such a limit as may
be found TO be reasonable and safe. But
It Ia believed that the real objection to
large organizations In our country goes
not to the amount of the capital, but
to the monopolistic character of the con-
GERMS In other words, the complaint goes
| to the manner OF the organization, and
more especially to the conduct with re-
spect to competition and oppression. in
| these respects a federal corporation law
would prove. in my Judgment, infinitely
more effective than have the spasmodc,
inharmonious attempts of Individual
states. The national government, having
the authority for the creation of these
organizations, Is in a position to pro-
tect them against unfair attack and to
correct them in unfair trade.
II believe, therefore, to summarize, that
there Is no question whatever about the
authority Of the federal Congress to pro-
vide for the organization of commercial
corporations which may be equipped TO
intelligently develop domestic commerce,
and to promote our interests in foreign
countries. ] have no question that the
existing system. which on all sides, Is
| at war with itself, has become intolerable,
and. that nothing but the untold wealth
OF our country can account for our abi
| ity to hold our own as long es we have
under these conditions. 7 am persuaded
that the creation of such corporations,

made at the meeting of the city coun-

start that no one could subject this
question to a thoughtful consideration
without arriving at the conclusion that
the federal Congress must undoubt-
edly have the authority.

what is the need for the exercise OF
the authority at this time. When 1t
has been said That the States have

the charge against the states has gone
too far. The failure Of the states to
successfully cope with the conditions
that have inevitably arisen in the de-
velopment OF our commerce Is not to
be ascribed to negligence so much as 60
inability.
The observer need hardly be troubled
with Illustrations to emphasize the gray
ity of this condition And yet 1t IL
doubted whether many have made clear
to themselves how utterly irreconcil-
able our present system is with econom-
ical methods.

Limit of Corporations

'At present a corporation organized in
one state and engaged IN business in the
border city OF that state has no right
as matter Of law TO cross the boundary
and to transact business in the sister
state. Two cities, 10 all intents and pur-
poses one commercial center, are gov
erned by distinct codes OF law. and one
and the same business organization ex-
lists in one as matter of right and may
be excluded from the other at any time
az a matter OF law. Corporations or
ganized by state authority enter other
states at the risk of being expelled at
any time, of seeing their property put
on the market. and the good will which
they have built up destroyed without
compensation. Regulations made In one
state as to the character OF the product
to be offered may be. and often are,

of most of the states, are subject to
such variety and such conflict that intel
ligent compliance with them by a con-
Germ of national proportions is practically
out of the question
what is the need and the purpose OF
the proposed creation OF federal corpor-
ations? AS / sec It, 1t is simply to place

ical embarra ssments which so far any
state has been at liberty to interpose.
