W. |. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot 60 back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro.
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. NGermany favors large corpora
tions. The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which is backward
step. There should be no limit TO
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business, such as would be pos.
sible under the licensing plan which
! favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former
governor Of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big. perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum.
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place Of the Sherman law 1t is
my opinion there should be depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be, made so clear,
plain and definite that 1t could not be
misunderstood. It should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by public ac-
countaint. There should be a board
of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations Just as our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex-
anime the records of all the direc-
torates Of these companies. ~

the chestnut held between his thick
jaws. Dan bent down to take the nut
from the dog and wrestled with him
