TAFT AND THE TRUSTS.

Every citizen should read Presi-
dent Taft's message on the anti
trust statute as published in full in
the EVENING NEWS last night.
The message is not long, as Presi-
Dental messages go, and it reviews
Observation-Disclosures In clear and
thorough name SO that all who
read may understand.
The message shows that the ad-
min~istration and former President
Roosevelt are not so far apart after
all. Taft agrees with Roosevelt
that mere size is no sin against the
law He also believes with the
former President that federal cor
poration, and through 1t some kind
Of federal regulation, is necessary.
Taft, however, would retain the
Sherman law as a can for destroy
ing any corporation that should get
beyond bounds. The message puts a
new light on the Sherman law and
sets forth the amer in which it is
viewed by the President. Viewing
it as he does, no one can find fault
with the action he has taken.
The President is weak. however.
in defending the Sherman law on the
charge that it lacks defniteness. He
cites q Hypothetical case to the eff
feet that we may have a combina-
ton of two corporations, which may
run on for years, and that subse-
quently the attorney general may
conclude that it was a violation of
the statute, and that which was sup
posed by the combiners to be inno-
cent then turns out to be a combin-
alton in violation of the statute"
Mr.. Taft goes on to say:
"The answer to this Hypothetical
ease is that when men attempt to
amass such stupendous capital as
will enable them to suppress compe-
tition, control prices and establish a
monopoly they know the purpose OF
their acts. Men do not do such a
thing without having 1t clearly in
mind. If what they do is merely for
the purpose of reducing the cost oil
production, without the thought o.
~suppressing competition by use oil
the bigness OF the plant they are
creating, then they cannot be con.
vieted at the time the union Is made
nor can they be convicted later un.
less 1t happen that later on they con
eIude to suppress competition and
take the usual methods for doing SC
and thus establish for themselves q
monopoly. They can in such a case
hardly complain II the motive which
subsequently is disclosed Is attrib,
uted by the court to the origina
combination"
The fact is that even though Their,
may be no thought of suppressin,
r-psaaoa" Inc mere comDinin,
for the purpose of reducing tn,
cost Of production" win reducs
prices, Competition is thereupon au.
tomatically suppressed. Not to 70
duee prices when the cost OF pro,
duetion u sowarsa would BE- to gavs
re men behind sAs corporation al
the advantages q ths monpy aavsd. Il

STEEL MEN TO
 HOLD CONFERENCE

New York, January s-(Special.)-A conference of steel manufacturers of the country has been called for the week be- ginning January g. A dinner will be given at the Waldorf-Astoria on Wednes- day, January II. A series of meetings will be held during that week for the pur- pose of discussing prices and steel condi- tions in general Whether concerted ac- ton looking toward a readjustment of prices downward will be taken at the time Is not known. All will depend upon disposition of consumers. If consumers are inclined to buy steel at lower quota tions 1t Is likely that prices will be re- duced On the other hand if steel manu- lecturers think no new business would develop on reduced prices readjustment will likely be postponed, It is well known that a large number of independent steel companies will object to drastic cut in steed prices at this time. They hold to the opinion that if prices are reduced from g to "A ton there will be little profit In the business.

BANKERS WANT
 NEW MONEY LA WIS

Washington, January -(Special)-Se eral well known bankers of the country are urging the President to see if he could not persuade Congress to do some thing on the monetary question at the present session.

 Mir Aldrich frequently has said there is no time to discuss such a comprehen- sive plan as the monetary commission has Tn view, and that it would be impossible to pass a law at the present time.

PHIL CAMPBELL
 WILL INCORPORATE
Is Important Cotton Center Of Frank lin-Representative Richardson
 VIII Introduce Many Bills

Russellville, January S-(Special.)-
 Yesterday at Phil Campbell, this coun- ty, an election was held for the purpose
 of ascertaining whether or not a ma Jority of the qualified electors of the town desired to have the place incorporated The measure carried unanimously, not
 vote being cast against the incorpora- tion. This town, when the boundary lines are properly established, will have a pop- ulation of from 250 to 300 people, and is an important cotton center of Franklin county, as well as an excellent fruit grow ing country At an early date, which will be set by the probate judge, officers will be selected to serve the town for the coming term. About two years ago the town was incorporated but the election was declared illegal because it was held under the provisions of the old law which was repealed after the new municipal law of the last legislature was put into force To look after the interests of the people of Franklin county. Prof Charles G. Richeson, representative of the people of this county in the lower house of the
 state legislature, is now in Montgomery Early in the sessions MT. Richeson will introduce number of bills for the benefit of the people of this county. Among the bills is one to establish an inferior court of record This bill gives the proposed new court right to try all misdemeanor cases as well as civil suits involving not
 over s2oo0 Numbers of cases In the circuit court are still on the docket. The other bills are: "A bill 10 be entitled an act to
 provide for changes in the state game and fish law relating to Franklin county" and An act to provide for the construction, repairing, working and maintaining the public roads and bridges of Franklin county" Other local bills relating to this county will probably come up for the consideration of the state legislature.

DUKE MAY RENEW SUIT
 TO MARRY MISS ELKINS

Washington. January S.-tSpecial.)- will the Duke of Abruzzi renew his suit for the hand of Miss Katherine Elkins now that her father, who insist ed that his daughter should not wed the Savoy Prince unless she was given full recognition as his duchess, has pa ssed from the scene. It is confidently believed among Miss Elkins friends here that he will. It is as confidently believed that unless the Italian royal family is prepared to receive her fully, Abruzzi will have no better success than he had in the first place. That there is a sincere attachment between the two no doubt is felt, but those in position to know say that Miss Elkins held the same position in regard to the marriage as was held by her father and that there Is no likelihood of her changing her mind.
 Ut is not the position of royal duchess that she cares so much about" said one of her friends today, but she won't consent to marry any man who will not or cannot be on perfect equal ity with her. Anything less than this she considers would be beneath her dig nifty as an American woman"
