ment to Fix Prices.
SHOULD REGULATE TRUSTS
attorney General Declares Inter
State Commission Should Regu-
late Every Corporation May
49, Speak For Taft.

Duluth, MINI, July 90 - Attorney
General Wickersham, before the Min.
nesota State Bar association here, took
an advanced stand on the further
federal regulation of corporations, and
declared that a government commits
sion to regulate great industrial or
CARNATIONS, in the same way that the
interstate commerce commission reg
sulates railways, was not only most de-
sirable, but might be absolutely me-
cessary.
Mr.. Wickersham's speech was little
short Of sensational in many of its
features. He declared that 1t was
matter of serious consideration wheth-
er it would be practical to give to the
proposed interstate corporation COM
mission the power to fix prices. To do
this in theory would simply require
an extension of the principle by which
the interstate commerce commission
controls the rates on railroads.
The law of supply and demand, Mr..
Wickersham said, no longer controls
prices in the United States. For years,
he declared, the prices in all the great
staple industries have been fixed by
an agreement between the principal
producers, and not by normal play of
Tree competition. :
An interstate commission, the attor.
ney general added, would prevent VIC
lation Of the antitrust act and aid
business men to maintain continued
status OF harmony with the require
meRts of the law.
often Taft Spokesman.
Many of Mr. Wickersham' declara-
lions were the most radical he has
made since his entrance into official
life. With the weight of an administra-
ton officer behind them, his remarks
made deep impression. There was
nothing in the speech to indicate how
FAR the attorney general reflected the
views OF President Taft. On several
occasions in the past. however. he has
been regarded as spokesman for the
administration.
The attorney general discussed the
general question of what further reg
ulation of interstate commerce is ne
cessary or desirable, from broad
point Of view, and said he had not at
tempted to express a conclusion, but
merely TO state the elements OF
great problem which goes to the root
OF the prosperity Of the American peo-
pie
THAT some further regulation over
corporations carrying on commerce
snong the states may be necessary"
he said, lis coming to be matter or
current comment 1t has been openly
advocated quite recently by represen-
