ADAMSON BILL IS
 PASSED BY HOUSE
Provides for Complete Investigation of Interstate Carrier Corporations and Valuation of Railroads

Washington, December 5.-Amended to authorize a complete investigation into the question of interstate carrier Corporations, stock and bond issues, the bill by Representative Adamson empowering the interstate commerce commission to make a physical valua- tion of the property of railroads and other common carriers, was unani- mously passed by the House today.
 The measure would provide for far reaching inquiry with a view to hay ing railroad rates fixed on basis oe income on actual investment It would authorize employment of engineers and other experts to listing the property of levery interstate carrier. The invesli- gators would be directed to ascertain
 the original cost for railway purposes
 of each piece of property, the cost and value to the present owner and what
 increase in value is due to improve ment directing the examination into isting stock and bond issues of suck
 carriers also would be inquired Into.
 Representative Mann of Illinois. the
 republican leader, offered the amend
 ment directing the exeamination into
 the stock and bond issue question, after
 a point of order has been sustained against his amendment authorizing
 the commerce commission to regulate and restrict the issuance of securities by carriers. The amendment adopted provides that the proposed investiga- ton shall also cover so far as prac- ticable, questions pertaining to the issuance of stocks and bonds by com mon carrier corporations, subject to the provisions of this act, and the power of Congress to regulate or affect the same, and particularly methods to pre- vent the issuance of stocks and bonds by such corporations without full value
 being received therefor"
 Debate on the measure today was confined entirely to the point of order against the original Mann amendment,
 which was pending when the House adjourned Tuesday. Speaker Clark
 ruled that the amendment actually au- thorizing supervision of stock and bond tissues could not be considered.

Marshall, governor of Indiana and vice president-elect of tho United States came to Chicago today to attend the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America He brought from Indianapolis a message "of confidence" from his denomina- tion, the Presbyterian church in the plan of church cooperation which the council plans to accomplish, but ex- pressed a doubt that church unity as expressed in one church and one creed will come to pass in America. In re- sponse to requests that he speak to the council Governor Marshall took a stand in favor of the recognition of christianity in public life.
 If there is anything worth having in American tlife,' he said. "it is guarding against the looseness of the American citizens against divinities.

CONSIDER EFFECT
 OF RECENT DECREE
Union Pacific Merger De- cisi0n of Immeasurable
 Value to Government

Washington, December 5.--The task which vii devolve upon the depart ment of justice In connection with the dissolution of the Union Paciic-South- ern merger, was considered by Attor- ney General Wickersham at confer ence today with attorneys who repre- sented the government in the case. The decree of dissolution must be en- tered by the United States district court of Utah within three months. The attorney general has retained C. A. Sev- erance, one of the attorneys who prose- cuted the suit to take direct charge of the governments interests in the hear ings before the court in connection with the provisions of the decree.
 In this decision Attorney General Wickersham believes the supreme court has taken probably it's greatest step in vitalizing the sherman law. The general principles lad down are re- garded by officials of the department of justice as of immea surable value in the enforcement of the anti-trust statute.

CONGRESS TO TURN TO
 TARIFF AND TRUSTS
Six Weeks of Hearings Will Be Held By the Ways and Means
 Committee

Washington, December 5.--Tariff and
 the trusts soon will be receiving at tention in Congress. The ways and
 means committee will hold it's first
 meeting next Monday to lay out plans
 as to the tariff.
 It is expected a series of hearings
 will he set, beginning about January s, and extending over six weeks The
 hearings will be by schedules. begin
 ming with chemicals. In this way it is
 expected most of the preliminary work
 may be in hand by the end of Febru- ary.
 As to Legislation affecting trusts and
 the sherman law, Representative Clay
 ton of Alabama, chairman of the House committee on judiciary, Is preparing to give special attention to the matter as soon as his duties as prosecutor of the Archibald impeachment in the Senate are concluded.
 There Is no doubt that trust legis- lation will be one of the most import ant subjects before the coming demo- cratic Congress- said Judge Clayton. tariff and the trusts in the very fore
 front ofsauestions urgently requiring attention and remedy. The tariff remedy is a plain one downward revision. But the trust rem edy is not so plain. for many plans are proposed and the trust evil is one of vast magnitude and ramification I do not think it will be necessary to embark on the sea of new Legislation. What is needed is the enforcement of the law as it now stands and supple mental legislation strengthening the
 existing law and remedying its de- l fects.'
 | It will be along these general lines that the judiciary committee will pro- ceed when it takes up the trust ques- | ton in January. An income tax also l is being looked forward to as one of the important measures to be framed.
 Thirty-four states have ratified the in- come tax amendment to the constitution
 and the votes of two more states will suffice to make the amendment a part of the organic law. The income tax law of 1904 was added as an amend
 ment to the Wilson tariff bill and
 members of the committee said today that such measure probably would te
 considered as a part of the tariff and revenue producing legislation.
