necessity for the passage at the present
session of Congress of good laws for the
protection of the natural resources of the
United States" is the keynote of a report
just made to the National Conservation
association by Clifford Pinchot. recently
chosen president of the association
Mr.. PluChOt takes up. in what he calls
"a spirit of constructive criticism nine
bills relating to the conservation of nat
uTaI resources, introduced into Congress

the interior, one of which has been re-

committee by senator Nelson, following
conferences between the committee and

Further than this the President told
several callers today that he would not
make the incorporation bill an admins
tration measure. lie declared he felt he
had no right to do so, and that it did
not rank with the proposed amendments
10 the interstate commerce law, the pos
tai savings banks and the measures de-
signed for the conservation of natural
resources. These latter were promised in
she platform upon which the President
was elected, and he feels that the party is
responsible for their passage at this ses-
sion OF Congress.
President Taft believes that there are
many things in the Incorporation bin that
will commend themselves 10 the legisla-
tors He will not attempt to influence
Senators or Representatives in its favor
however.
The bill now goes to the judiciary COM
mittee of Congress for consideration.
Wall street interests, inclined at first
to look upon the idea of a federal charter
with the utmost fear, were rather rudely
aV, akened when il was learned that the
President would insist that in any bill
passed on this subject there should be in
cluded the provision that nothing in the
act should be construed as exempting cor
pOrations from the operation of the anti
trust act. A great many corporations, it
is said, were looking forward to a federal

PLEA OF GUILTY
Members of the Paper Board AssOcia
ton Fined $4,000 Each in the
Federal Court.

New York, Feb. THE Paper Board
association, made up of about forty
paper board manufacturing corpora
tions which were indicted some months
ago by the federal grand jury on the
charge Of being an Illegal mbination
in restraint of trade, pleaded guilty
this afternoon to the charge. James
NJ, Beck, armed with a power of attOr-
ney from the association, entered the
plea of guilty on behalf Of all the de-
PENDANTS, in the United States circuit
court.
Judge HOugh said the charge was the
same as against the Fibre & Manila
Paper association, upon each of the
members of which he had imposed
fines of $4,000 about a year ago. He
said he would impose similar fines in
this instance, namely, $4,000 against
each of the defendants.
At the request of United States Dis
trict Attorney Wise, that portion of
the Indictment against the individual
defendants was nOlle pressed.
The Indictment among other things,
stated that because of this illegal COM
bination, the association levied an an
nual tax of S5.0OO,0OO a year on the
people of the country.
