TAFT COMES OUT STRONG
FOR FEDERAL CHARTERS

WASHINGTON, November H.
President Taft is not inclined to ap-
prove any amendments to the Sher-
man antitrust law unless it becomes
apparent that Congress will not pass
Federal incorporation act. The
President indicated this today.
Taft is anxious to have some legs-
lation to clear up the situation for
business men, so they may realize e:;-
actly where they stand; but he made
it plain that he preferred to see The
changes in the regulation of com
merce accomplished through Federal
charters which could provide for cor
porations certain defined limitations.
He let it be known that should that
prove impossible, he would indorse
amendments to the Sherman law
pointing out specifically what big
business may not do.
1t is the Presidents idea that if the
Sherman law be amended it should
define specifically what constitutes
offenses against it, Crushing of com
petition, combination to ruin Compel
itors. to raise prices or other acts Of
the kind should be specifically named,
in his opinion
President Taft also believes that

SPECIAL MESSAGE
ON HIGH PRICES

WASHINGTON, November IA
President Taft is planning to take mp
the high cost of living in a special
message to Congress, when he trans
mits the report of the Tariff Boards
investigation of the wool and cotton
schedules
1t also is said he will vigorously
renew his recommendation for a
parcels post. The Tariff Boards find
ings will show, it is declared that
much of the high cost Of living is due
to the middleman rather than the
tariff.
President Taft met the cabinet to-
day for the first time in three months.
Secretary Stimson was the only meT-
Der absent. The head of the War
Department is in Kansas City, where
today he spoke on the Panama canal
1t is understood that the Presidents
advisers pointed out that the work Of
the coming Congress would center on
two main issues-the tariff and the
trusts. With Democratic leaders de-
claring for some readjustment of the
Sherman law and the Republican in
surgents declaring for some afIirma-
tive legislation to point the paths for
the legal conduct OF big business, the
Presidents closest counselors seem
to favor some legislation which will
permit business to go ahead and
know where it stands.

it is believed he shares this view. He
has made it plain, however, that lie

President indicated that recommends

PINEHURST TRACTS SELL
Already Fifteen Have Been Dis

The Elmhurst Investment company
put PinehurSt, the new addition west
of Washburn avenue, on the market
on Saturday and up to noon today fif-
teen Of the fifty-one tracts had been
sold for an amount aggregating more
than $4,000.
According to the statement of n. b.
Burge of the firm. the prospects are
that the entire addition will be sold
out within 10 days; that is, the 40 out
of 50 acres which have been put on
the market.
Three years ago last June Frank P.
MacLennan bought the 81 acres, after
it had been on the market several
years unsold. for $4,000 cash; so it
will be seen that the Elmhurst people
in two days have received returns out
OF the 40 acres alone, an amount ex-
ceeding the purchase price of 1908.
Mr.. MacLennan, who has no inter-
est in the tracts now. sold the sixty
two acres last June for $24,3OO cash
to the Eamhurst syndicate, which has
paid all the money to the seller of the
tracts.
