ing suits brought by carriers to make
sion.
The minority senators declare the
action to govern consolidation of rail
way lines would permit water and
rail routes to consolidate, would allow
a railroad to buy up competitive
steamship lines, and that in effect all
the railroads in the United States
could be merged under a single corpo-
ration, provided they would be ope-
rated by electric power.
Senators Cummins and Clapp rec
commended further amending of the
existing law so as to make all holding
corporations come under the jurisdic-
ton of the interstate commerce COM
mission and would make the term
common carrier" embrace all corpo-
rations having a controlling interest in
a common carrier.
Two Sections "Ineffective."
They make the statement that the
bill prevents neither the combination
nor the over-capitalization of railroads.
The plan proposed by these two sec.
tons of the bill that are supposed to
abolish the evils, is declared by the
minority report to be ineffective for
these, among other reasons:
"First-It is confined to railroad cor
porations, whereas it should be made
to include all combinations and car
riers subject to the act.
"Second-Its operations as to is
suance OF both stocks and bonds is
United as follows: Shall hereafter
issue for any purpose connected with
or relating to any part of its bust
ness governed by said act. to regulate
commerce. ETC. A moments thought
will convince anyone that these words
destroy the force of the whole plan
and If il is necessary TO use them to
make the plan constitutional. il might
as well be abandoned for 1t would lead
the people into the belief that we are
doing something when In fact, we are
not.
"Third-There Is nothing to prevent
a holding corporation from issuing all
the stock and bonds that it pleases to
issue.
"Fourth-The privilege extended in
denominations and consultations
have practically no limit.
"Fifth-There is no regulation con.
corning the capitalization of the in,
creasing values Of existing property
or of earnings, that have been ex,
pended in improving property.

WHEN TO FEED POULTRY FOOD

There is a prevailing notion with GER
tain class of poultrymen that it doesn't
pay to force laying fowls during the
warm summer months-that they will
get along very well with ordinary food
and what they can pick up about the
yards. That this opinion is not shared
by the most progressive poultrymen is
shown by the fact that not long ago the
manufacturers of Pages Perfected
Poultry Food inquired of some of the
prominent poultry breeders of New Eng
land as to what they considered the best
time in which to feed this food. D. ].
Lambert of Apponaug. R. l., who is
fam Gus as breeder OF high class poultry
and one of the best known in New Eng
land, answered as follows: "We feed
Pages Poultry Food every month in
the year"
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
c. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT. for his book
let, profitable Poultry" It will be sent
free. postpaid, to anyone mentioning this
