PRISON AS CURE
FOR TRUST EVILS
George W. Perkins Says Fines
Fail to Stop Law-Break-
ing Firms.
STRONGER ACT is ASKED
Department OF Commerce Should
Grant Licenses and Control
Business.

Youngstown, Ohio, Dec. 5.-Prison
sentences for individuals responsible,
not fining of the corporations, was the
plan advanced here by George w. Per
kins, New York financier, as the cure
the government should retain the
basic idea of the Sherman law, but
should strengthen its purpose.
The first step toward curbing of
corporations, he said, was to augment
the powers of the department of COM
merce and labor so as to give it full
control over interstate and interna-
tional companies. Each concern
should be forced to obtain a charter
or license from the bureau, and in
order to comply with this charter each
concern should be forced to submit to
the department reports on every de-
tail of its business.
THE situation demands immediate
relief" said Mr.. Perkins, "and If con-
gress cannot promptly formulate a
new and comprehensive program, then
the president, with the consent of con-
gress, should at once appoint com
mission to take up the great problem
that confronts us, and no further steps
of nature disturbing to business
should be taken by the government
until that commission has made its
report"
DISSOLUTION NOT SOLUTION.
Mr.. Perkins said that developments
of the last six months have made three
things clearer In regard to trust con
,t<aas-s 1hses< are. .s--z=ys z.,..
First-That dissolution Is not 80
luton, because we are after substance
not form.
Second-That the United States II
it's quest for commerce must have
large business concerns.
Third-That the people are mo-
afraid of the size of these concerns
but are afraid of the methods ant
practices pursued in the past, and de
termined that these methods and prac
tees shall not be pursued in the fu
ture.
CHIEF EVILS of SYSTEM.
Following are the chief evils will
which the corporations are threaten
ing the country, said Mr.. Perkins:
DISQUALIFICATION and stock water
ing of corporations.
The unbridled control by few mel
of huge aggregations of capital II
business.
Secret, unscrupulous. blind-poo
methods.
Unfair distribution of profits be
tween capital, labor and consumer.
SEEKS STRONGER LAWS.
: Mr.. Perkins said the Sherman Law
must be amended to a higher order o
: efficiency and continued:
Personally, believe the following
to be constructive suggestion: Tha
we retain the basic idea of the Sher
man law; that We strengthen its pull
: pose by making clear that crime an,
guilt are personal and not corporate
by making the punishment fit tn
crime; by making clear that men VIII
violate statutes drawn in plain, un
mistakable English are not to be fined
but imprisoned"

stream. and the average Mexican's
aim is so bad that he cannot hit any
thing at such distance.
West of Texas the boundary was
laid out by engineers and therefore
has some resemblance to a straight
line. 1t is here that the trouble has
occurred, there being no river or other
intervening obstacle IN the way of
Mexican bullets. If a fight should
ever occur at Nogales it would be
worse than at Aqua Prieta, for No
gales is on both sides of the line. The
boundary runs down the middle of one
of the main streets. All a criminal
has to do is to cross the street and
he cannot be taken except by extra
dition. A man returning late from
banquet and gravitating TO the middle
of the street for more leeway changes
his nationality on the average of sew
enteen times to the block. If the in
surgents and regulars should mix it
up in Nogales. Mexico, the people of
Nogales, Ariz.. would either have TO
fee to the cactus and sagebrush or
take a hand in the scrimmage. The
possible diplomatic complications are
such as to give our whole state de-
partment a headache and make 1t
mentally crosseyed.

olutionists The claim made by the
insurrecto junta was that the custom
officials had no right to interfere with
q shipment so sent and cited in sup
port of their contention a decision pre-
viously made by Secretary Root. How
ever that may be. the fact remains
that the insurgents had all the best of
the fight until they ran out of ammu-

The battle of Aqua Prieta. which
was perhaps the fercest thus far
fought in the war, brought two men

President Diaz has promised in a
long complaint that he will not kill
any more Americans if he can help it
and If he can get the insurgents to
agree. He intimates. however. that
the Americans went out and got shot
on purpose. The trouble with this
modified optimism is that Diaz cannot
deliver the goods. as was shown by
the second revolutionary attack on
Aqua Prieta and the massing of in
surrectos against Juarez, just across
the river from FL Paso.
At this distance 1t appears that the
game is up for Diaz. and this is true
with an armistice or without one. The
revolutiOnists are determined that
don Porfirio" must go. They think
thirty years long enough for any man
to be president. They also object to
the manner in which he was elected

that he was not elected; also TO the
vast concessions he has given foreign
investors, to- But why catalogue their
charges? They object to Diaz. That
is the main article of their creed.
