Improvement, which was organized In
Washington in November. 1910. to stimu-
late public interest in the good roads
movement along practical lines. The or
ganization Of this National Highway AS
sociation was primarily due to the in
formal meeting Of highway commission
ers and automobile officials held by the
Touring Club Of America soon after the
International Good Roads Congress In
Brussels. The Touring Club deemed that
the time was ripe to form national as
ISOLATION in America which would do for
the roads Of this country what the In
complish abroad. and the success Of the
American Association for Highway I'm.
provement has justified the wisdom OF
the movement.
President Taft has been invited to at
tend the coming conference. and his deep
may be seen from the following letter re-
Gently sent by him to Logan Waller Page,
director of the United States office OF
public roads and president of the A1neri-
ment.
II am much interested in the work OF
the American Association for Highway
Improvement, and l am in full accord
with Its aims and purposes. consider
the lines on which the association Is
working to be thoroughly sound. and with
such men as you have associated with

that 1t will mark what is regarded as the
eliminating effort on the part of farm

in harmony with the United States gov

been felt in this respect through it's af-

A striking example which may be cited
Is that Of the United States Navy. They

while they could easily obtain product
Of 70 degrees Baume specific gravity on
the eastern coast. this was an impossibility

tries because the Pacific and other west

Pennsylvania oils. although the gasoline

are equally volatile and perhaps more
useful

BILL FOR TRADE COMMISSION
Mr.. Newland Has Measure to Control

This Country. ..-.......

WASHINGTON, July 6.-An interstate
trade commission of five members TO con-
troll industrial corporations as the Inter
state Commerce commission controls the
railroads il advocated in a bill introduced
in the senate today by Mr.. Newlands. Of
Nevada. Mr.. Newlands in q statement con-
tended that the standard OH and tobacco

on the steel industry demonstrate the heed

gagged in interstate trade whose annual re-
ceipts exceed 100000.
Mr.. Newlands' statement was by way Of
urging the passage of bill which he IN
troduced providing for this commission.
His measure would separate the bureau OF
corporations from the Department OF Com
merce and Labor aud merge the bureau
into commission OF interstate trade with
the commissioner of corporations a member
OF the new commission.
1t would require all the industrial cor
porations having control exceeding 5000, 900
to make satisfactory statements as to capi-
talization. finances and operations. such
corporations to be known as United States
registered companies. II Is proposed to
make lack Of such registration an 'indica-
ton of something wrong"
Mr. Newlands declared that II such leg
islation had replaced or aided the Sherman
antitrust act that more than twenty years
ago this country would have advanced
as far In regulation of industrial organiza-
ton as II has in railroad regulation. He
referred to recent expressions of Mr.. Gaary
OF the steel corporation and others as in
dicating that the great corporation man
ayers recognize that public regulation is
now inevitable
Mr.. Newlands said his plan proposes that
frequent reports be required from the cor
porations, Information Of public interest to
be published from time TO time; the COM
mission to be nonpartisan; not more than
three members to be OF one party. and the
term OF office to be ten years. Mr. New
lands said that his plan makes no attempt
TO give too many powers OF correction or
punishment nor the power OF fixing prices.
