There are any number of reasons why
a lot Of West Hammond people would

"Old-fashionsd Winter. /"

One of the most amusing things in
modern life is the man who asserts
that the winters are not as cold as they
used to be or the summers are not as
hot or the rains not as heavy. Just
now many of these oid-timers in Wash
ington are positive that the present win
ter is nothing like some of the winters
they experienced in boyhood and early
years.
In the absence of records to prove
the facts it is pretty hard to enter
into convincing argument on the
question. 1t may be promised, however,
that the winter now passing has been
an excellent specimen. as-winters come
and go. The cold has been below-fsr
below-the average, the snow has been
deep. skating good. sleighing continued
for several weeks, ice still lies upon
the river of unknown thickness and
with dread possibilities of damage
when the spring freshet comes. Any
bow, the winter of 1912 is some winter.
As compared with winters within the
period Of records KEEP, BY the Weather.

Federal License Plan.

The formal bill submitted to, the Sem
ate Committee on Interstate Com
merce by Ebert H. Gary. of the
United States Steel Corporation, places
squarely before the country the con-
sideration of Federal supervision of
large corporations through a special
commission appointed for the purpose,
granting, ,licenses to corporations of a
certain character and requiring speci-
fed courses of action from them. 1t
goes further in the way of Federal con-
troll than any legislator in Congress ever
proposed. The bill is the sequel of Mr..
Gary's testimony before the committee
some time ago, his views on the subject
then expressed receiving some modihca-
ton from conference with Senators
Cummins and John Sharp Williams.
The bill provides for a commission
similar to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and defines its scope and
duties. 1t places upon corporations the
duty to make detailed and open state
ments of their business transactions at
stated times, throwing the light Of pub
licity into the inner Offices of such con-
Germs. The bill makes combination of
companies engaged in the same line of
industry impossible. except upon state
ment o,the commission of the purpose
to combine, giving the price to be paid
for the subsidiary plant and the new
issues of stock or bonds to cover the
reorganization proceedings. The bill also
places limit upon the organization of
small companies solely for the purpose
of creating competition and forcing sale
of the smaller concern to the larger
One provision Of the measure is more
socialistic than the ideas of the most
progressive legislator in Congress. 1t
provides that the commission shall have
authority to fix the maximum price at
which products of corporations shall be
sold, after due investigation into the
cost of materials and production. This
feature of the bill might impair its
constitutionality, but Mr.. Gary holds
that it is essential to any effective Fed
eral control of corporations doing a
nationwide business.
In this bill is presented the spectacle
of big business coming forward volun-
tarily and offering a means of Federal
supervision more advanced than public
opinion has demanded. The fact is of
great public interest and shows that
the barons of industry are anxious to
settle the great question confronting the
American people by placing proper re-
straints upon corporate operations.
