The filming Of cororations for

the most gigantic farce OF this OF

this true when the corporation & 1 1'

tion and fix the price Of any 1neces-

Corporations are artificial per
sons created by law. They have no
natural right to do anything, all OF
their powers being derived from the tn,
statute law Of the states where they
are incorporated. No state ever
Y gave corporation the right Or
i power to commit a crime; and, strict
S%ly$ speaking, no corporation ever dld
commit crime, any more than an
inanilnate object, such as an ak or
a gun.
While that is true, 1t IS equa1Ay
true that criminally disposed Fl men
frequently use corporations to aid
them in the commission OF crime.
the same as they might use an az OF
gun. But by what reasoning can
crimes SO committed be considered
I or treated as the crimes OF the cor
poration which was used by the
criminal in their commission?
Take the sugar trust for illustra'
ton. That gigantic corporation mas
long been managed by as bold
gang Of criminals as ever used q dari
lantern or cut throat. Their crimes
covered a broad field, and the gov
ernment during the past year or two
" has had the corporation fined 2 few
million dollars for the misconduct Of
its criminal managers. And sults
based upon crimes committed by
them upon persons who attempted
to compete with the big trust have
been settled at an expense OF a re"
million more. But what did all tina

would be quite sufficient to reimn-

nenses connected with their criminal
transactions.

Representative Sims Of Tennessee
is going to begin the coming session
OF Congress, as far as he personally
is concerned, by introducing bill to
abolish the Court OF Commerce.
II propose to start a fight to DO
away with this court, and restore to
the circuit courts all the jurisdiction
now given to it by law" said Mr..
Sims, who is in Washington. His
statement signalizes the opening OF
what is sure to be one OF the big
fights Of the coming session of Con-
gress.
"You will recall that .the Court of
Commerce. provision remained in
the Mann E.kirs bill on, tie vote in
the House." he said.st~'1t would
have been stricken out. by the House
committee il they hadn't consented to
pair members who were absent, with
out their consent. Not much Of any
body was for it; and fewer people
are for it now than then"
There is little doubt that the
Sims bill will pass the House If 1t
gets out OF the committee. Mr..
Mann's attitude will be important.
t he stands by his convictions, he
will support it, but as leader of the
republicans he is the spokesman of
the administration on, the floor, and
to support the Sims bill would
mean break with President Taft,
who is very insistent for its reten-
ton. He believes in, the Court OF
Commerce, for it is about all he saw
ed out Of the railroad bill that Attor-
ney General Wickersham drafted for
him.
Such a measure as Judge Sims pro-
poses will be almost certain to en-
phasize the break between the fac
lions Of the republican party, where
there has always been a sharp divi:
sion on the question
Despite the fact that the court
is not popular at interstate commerce
headquarters, it is doubtful whether
the interstate commerce commission
would like to see it abolished" said
Mr.. Sims. Before the commerce
court was created the railroads used
to take their cases into the courts
presided over by Federal Judges San
born and Grosscup, where they seem
ed to have little difficulty in getting
orders, injunctions, and the like.
President Taft, realizing that the
Court of Commerce would not have
enough work to keep it busy, suggest
ed in his speech before the Bar AS
ISOLATION at Boston that he might
recommend making it also a court of
patent appeals. Surprise was ex-
pressed when the President suggest
ed this plan. but the friends of the
court hailed it gladly, as they saw in
the scheme chance to keep the

SPECIAL WASHINGTON tCURREs
PONDEkcE.
By CLYDE II. Tavenner.

One Of the New York financial pa
pers which has the interest Of Wall
street very much at heart sprinted q
statement following the recent dis
turbance in the steel market to the
ieffect that the furry caused decline
In steel shares Of approximately one
hundred million dollars.
In the three days of the furry
nearly one third of the trusts $500.
OOO, 900 Of common stock was sold on
the stock exchange in such volume
that the price was carried to neW
low levels, thus showing that one
hundred millions in decline represent
the amount Of money it is worth to
the trust to be considered immune
from the operation Of the Sherman
law.
Nothing has happened to indicate
that anything is wrong with the In
trinsic value OF the steel properties
The mills are working as usual, and
are in exactly the same state OF ef-
ficiency they were in two years ago
when the stock was selling at its higf
water mark. The shrinkage' came
because Of rumors that the trust was
to be prosecuted, and las the bus l.
ness-the real business-of the trust
was not injured in any way, the one
hundred millions simply represents
the excess profits the trust stood to
loose in the event Of dissolution I'M
der the application Of the Sherman
law. In other words the shrinkage
serves as q, measure of the value to
the trust of license to violate the
law. When that license was threat
ened the trusts shares tell immed-
lately, and this fall in prices, sim
ply as the result Of scare, is pref
ty sure to he used by the democrats
as an argument for making secur-
tiles keep down to their real value
through an enforcement of the anti
trustllaw.
Commenting on the fall OF steel
prices Chairman Stanley, Of the
House committee which just now is
investigating the steel trust, said
that nothing could better demon
strate the necessity of enforcing the
anti trust law.
.It is obvious" Mr.. Stanley said,
"that the reason steel. stocks fell 2
hundred million dollars is because the
trust was operating under an assump.
ton Of immunity from prosecution
under the antitrust act. The instant
that immunity was threatened, the
stocks fell. The very insecurity OF
the basis on which the trust rests,
as thus shown,is sufficient reason for
an application Of the law that will
compel the steel millionaires to put
their business on more legitimate
foundation. Otherwise their stock
holders will always be apprehensive,
and their methods open to suspicion.
That Mswas this fear Of losing its
license to violate the law which
causes the steel trust TO suffer is
indicated that the "break" in stocks
applied to no other securities, Nor
was their any indication Of lessen
ing OF the demand for the trust. Mar
ket conditions remained normal; the
stocks Of some Of the railroads in
.creasing.
The ''steel furry" was proof posi-
tive that the shrinkage in stocks, un-
der the conditions named, reveals
that the steel trusts license to ig-i
more the law is worth hundred mil
lion dollars to the trust.

OFFICERS ELECTED
BY UNION FARMERS

Anthony, n. NJ, April 12.-At a meet
ing here the South New Mexico Farm
ers' association, recently incorporated,
elected officers and its first board of
directors as follows:
John C. McNary. Berino, president;
Ralph E. Bowden. Anthony, secretary;
directors, D. ]. Jones, Berino; J. S.
Brooks, Anthony; o. B. Wood Cham
berino; II. r. Hannum, Telles; p Il.
Bailey, La Union
The meeting was largely attended
and very enthusiastic.
The new organization absorbs the
old Westside Farmers union, the Ber-
ino-Anthony Farmers association and
takes in many new members, espec-
tally from the heretofore unorganized
district of La Union, including J. H.
Wallace, Julius Porcher, Hall and
Brandt, Belk Bros. and others
The past years experience of the
associations under the management of
secretary Bowden has shown the great
benefits of organization to both pro-
Queer and consumer, particularly by
enabling the farmer to know the real
demand for alfalfa hay. to regulate the
supply accordingly and thereby main
tanning uniform prices.
The coming season will open the
first week in May. Water has been
plentiful and frosts not as much as
usual. Secretary Bowden estimates
the association will ship 1900 carloads
the coming season.

Reorganization of Improve

fected at Meeting.

Tularosa. n. NJ, April 12-At meet
ing Of the old board Of directors OF
the Tularosa Improvement company Il
was decided to reorganize. The fol-
lowing FL Paso parties were elected to
fill the various offices: David G. Bald
win, president; William D. Mayfield,
manager and secretary: Edgar W.

Curry of Tularosa- There are two
other directors to be elected by the
above members when they can have
a meeting
The reorganized company incorpor-
ated for 500. 00o and is not in debt.
The townsite Of Monterey and other
lands owned by the company amounts
to 367 acres. It also owns an abund-
ance OF water for domestic and irri-
cation purposes in the Rio Tularosa.
The name Monterey is to be discarded
and the townsite will be called an adj
dition to Tularosa. This change was
brought about by a majority of the
citizens and voters Of the old town of
Tularosa petitioning the company to
change the name and also asking the
L
pany to move its station about 800
feet north to a higher and better To-
cation. The new organization agrees
to cooperate in the endeavor to get
the station moved.
A new map OF the townsite is to be
made as soon as possible, showing the
change in name, also the change in
plating as a portion of it is to be
divided into acreage lots instead Of
residence lots.
Intensive farming will be encouraged
and the small acreage holder will be
the moneymaker. water right will
be given with each deed to land A
handsome illustrative and descriptive
booklet is to be published giving views
on and adjoining the townsite as we'll

are here.
A new and modern hotel is going to
be built to cost from $4,000 to $500
for the building alone. The hotel is
already leased for a period Of one year
and the lessee bonded to run a first
class hotel Plans for the erection of
the building have been submitted by
the architects for the consideration Of
the company. There will be other i'm
provements. the nature of which is
not fully developed yet.
Strong efforts will continue to be
made to get the postoffice depart
ment to establish the automobile mail
route from Tularosa to Roswell There
are Il postoffices on the route to be
served by such route at an estimated
saving over the present service of
something like $500 or $4,000 per year
to the department, not to count the
daily mail service to some that now
have only two or three times per
week service. The offices on the di-
rect line are in the following order:
Tularosa, Bent. Mescalero. Ruidoso
San Patricio, Hondo Temy
Picacho and Roswell, others to be serv-
ID by tap lines.
In anticipation of the establishment
Of such q service the people along the
route and Jas. A Carroll, for the in

way except a short link that can be
repaired at a small outlay and in a

Field and Opens It at

Artesia. n. Al, April 12.-Bernard
Marranan, who lives about four miles
southeast of Artesia, met with Sc
rious and most singular accident at
the ranch. He found in his field a
small package a few inches long. en-
closed IN a newspaper and wrapped
with twine He stuck IT in his pocket
and when he reached his home he
starred to open IT to see what it was.
Before he got the paper off of it, an ex-
plosion took place that removed the
first joint of the index finger Of the
and thumb of the left hand and the
first joint of the index finger of the
right hand, besides tearing away some
flesh Of the middle finger of the right
