CUMMlNS EMBODlES HIS
PLATFORM IN BILL.
Trades Commission to Be Created to
Regulate and Control Big Corp
orationS.

(By Special Leased Wire to New MeXican)
Washington, D. c., Feb. 26.-The
trust platform of Senator Cummins OF
Iowa, candidate for the Republican
nomination for President is embodied
III bill which Mr. Cummins intro
duced today designed to strengthen
greatly the governments antitrust
powers.
The measure would provide what it
is claimed would be the first authority
to limit the size of corporations and
to guard against unfair or ruinous
competition through protracted under
selling.
1t would put into being a trades
commission into which the present
corporations bureau would be merged
with all its present powers.
The purpose in limiting corporations
ii is set forth, is not to prevent opera
ton of business i'll a big way with
economy of production but to limit in
the very beginning in such a way as
to leave room at least for others of
substantially the same magnitude be-
tween which healthful competition
may be preserved.
The law would apply only to corp
Orations capitalized at S5,000,000 or
more and not to Interstate Commerce
common carriers.
That the present antitrust law
would not be changed is made clear
by declaration that whatever is un-
lawful under that law shall continue
unlawful, and that the intent of the
law is to maintain competitive cOndi.
tions in trade to accomplish which it
shall be literally construed.
The measure would prohibit COM
mon directors and officers among
corporations carrying on business of
the same general character and would
exclude dummy or nominal directors.
1t would exclude from commerce all
corporations which control capital
stock or exercise any other means of
control in any other corporation and
also corporations capitalized at $10,-
100000 or more, whose directors or
officers are on the board Of directors
or among the officers of banking insti-
tutions. Careful provision is made
against the holding company that is
not itself engaged in commerce. Com
mon carriers and manufacturing or
producing enterprises would be COM
pletely disassociated so that no corp
oration could at the same time own
and operate a transportation line and
engage in manufacturing or producing.

President did not affect visibly affairs
at the White House today. President
Taft will have no direct answer to the
announcement prior to the Ohio
speeches, according to statements
from official sources. There was no
great increase in congressional call
ers today but Vice-President Sherman
and Senator Murray Crane of Massa-
chusetts hurried to the Presidents
Offices. Neither would discuss his
visit.
Secretary Of War Stimson also was
a caller. Asked as to what attitude
he would take, Mr.. Stimson said; Il
will make my position clear in the
speech which | will make in Chicago
March s."
This speech is to be made before
the Chicago Taft Club. 1t has been
looked forward to as one of series OF
net officers are to make in support of
the President and it was the general
impression here today that Mr. Slim
son will adhere to his original pur-
pose.
The fact that he said he would an
nounce his position before a Taft or
ganization also is regarded as signif-
icant.
Ohio to Be Storm Center.
There is a growing belief that the
cruX of the pre-convention campaign
will center in Ohio, the Presidents
state. 1t is known the Roosevelt
forces will make one of their strong
est bids for delegates there and the
Presidents friends are preparing to
meet their activities. Mr.. Taft is to
be called on to bear large share of
the Ohio burden. At Toledo on March
g, the President is expected to make
the first speech in reply to the doc
trines enunciated by Colonel Roosevelt
at Columbus.
