SOUNDS VIEWS ON TRUSTS.

President Taft's views on the trust
question. which he reiterated in q
speech at Akron. Ohio, last evening
are in accord with the expressed sen
timent Of thousands of representative
people who answered series of ques-
tions sent out by the National Civic
Federation recently concerning the
Sherman law.
President Taft in his remarks at
Akron made it clear he did not favor
the repeal OF the antitrust law but
would like TO see the enactment Of a
federal incorporation act TO enable
great corporations to operate under
The shield Of national charter"
This is right in line with the sixteen
thousand answers received by the
National Civic Federation in response
TO queries on the Sherman law. The
creates: per cent Of these replies were
against the repeal Of that act and for
federal regulation OF large combina-
tions Dy means OF a federal license or
incorporation for companies engaged
in interstate commerce. The answers
show that the people are not against
big business'-they believe large
necessary-but that they
would have the Sherman law supple
mented 70 make it better understood
by business men and bring il into line
with modern business conditions.
Which goes to show that Mr.. Tart
is taking a popular stand on the trust
question.

bales more than last year was the
statement made here today by r r.
Irby OF the Harris4rby Cotton com

He stated that the cotton over the
state was in good condition and
that the crop could Withstand a
drouth for three or four weeks more
without serious injury. His figures
show that the acreage is cut ten per
cent below last year but that the
entire crop should be in the neigh
