tlon is highly desirable. By this process
the federal regulation of corporations in
interstate trade might be systematized
and extended. The abuse of excessive
issues of stock and bonds h. industrial
companies, which the state ave done
httle or nothing to chec might be
stopped by Mr.. Taft's plan. he publicity
for which it calls might also prove some
check upon excessive charges for their
products by the corporations. and from
the point of view on the corporations
themselves uniformity os regulation in
place Of the multifarious requirements
OF state laws would be n desirable object.
But the subject is full OF difficulties,
as Mr.. Taft himself comedies in his mes
sage. It bristles with constitutional
questions. For example, in the knight
case the Supreme Court decided that
manufa cturing was not interstate trade.
even though the manufactured product
entered into interstate trade. Can Con
gress. then. under the interstate COM
merce section of the Constitution, charter
q manufacturing corporation? Mr.. Taft
alludes to this constitutional difficulty,
but adds that under a recent decision"
Congress apparently has the power.
The inducement that would operate 10
make corporations take out these volun-
tary charters would be a desire TO escape
state regulation. But it is impossible to
see without further elucidation than Mr..
Taft affords in his message how federal
incorporation would alter the states au-
thority in the premises. The boundaries
between state and federal authority are
constitutional and would not be affected
by the proposed device

Venus gave her beauty, the Graces

Apollo taught her music, Mercury in

From these presents received from the
gods the woman was called Pandora.

but his brother, Epimetheus, who was
not so prudent, married her instead.

The reason OF this Is twofoId-first
OF all. the possibility exists that at

cent but unhallowed weapons by
which rulers have been dispatched to
eternity is fraught with peril to their
descendants.
The method OF destroying these
weapons is curious one. The wooden
portions such IN the stocks of pistols
or the handles OF polnards. are burned,
and the metal portions are eaten away
in a bath of nitric acid
This has been the custom ever since
the attempted assassination OF Queen
Isabella OF Spain In 1852 by Merius.
Prior to that date the metal work Of
firearms or knives was ground or fled
away, but the blade OF the dagger with
which Merlus sought to execute his
dastardiy crime proved TO be OF such
exquisite temper and hardness that 1t
resisted both file and grindstone.
This became known to the populace.
and the superstitious Spaniards believ-
ed that Merius had invested his weap-
on with magical qualities. To divest
them OF this absurd belief the authori-
ties had the weapon destroyed by i'm
mersing 1t In chemicals. a rule that
has been followed ever since.
