HARVESTER MONOPOLY

Washington, March 4.--The power Of
the International Harvester company
the so-called harvester trust-which
the federal government Is seeking to
dissolve under the Sherman law. lies
in its monopolistic position, its super
Tor command Of capital, including its
connections with j. p. Morgan & Co,
and John d. Rock feller, and certain
Objectionable competitive methods, ac-

the operations of the giant corporation.
submitted to President Taft Sunday.
The chief features OF the Interna-
tional Harvester company's opera
TONS" says Mr., Conant, ARE the sub
stantial maintenance of its monopolis-
tic position in the harvesting machine
business, originally acquired through
combination, and its extensions on d
large scale into new lines OF the farm
machinery industry. The company has
been able to do this in part through the
acquisition of some of it's chief rivals
in the harvesting machine business;
in part by using it's monopolistic ad-
vantages in these harvesting machine
lines to force the sale of it's new lines:
in part by certain Objectionable COM
petitive methods and especially through

The harvester investigation was
made in response to a Senate resolu-
ton passed several years ago. Recent

tives Of the company that the report
be withheld pending the outcome Of the
ANTITRUST suit, but President Taft de-
cided to make 1T public.

mick, president Of the International
Harvester company, when advised OF
the nature Of the report of the COM
missioner OF corporations on the Oper-
ating methods OF the International
Harvester company, issued the follow
ing statement:
For the bureau Of corporations to
make its report at this time is mani
testify unfair. II appears in the midst
OF the government lawsuits and within
two days OF the beginning Of the evil
dence Of the company. The bureau has
considered the governments evidence.
1t refuses to wait for the company's
evidence. which will disprove every
"harge of misconduct which the bureau
makes.
The report rehearses old charges,
which it finds are mainly untrue, but
which 1t lacks the courage and candor
unequtvocally to deny"

COSSON SAYS WEBB LAW
WILL PROVE OF SFEUIcE

Des Moines, Ia, March 3.-Attorney
General Cosson, who is a warm sup
porter Of the Webb bill passed by con-
gress over the presidents veto today
admits that the bill Is not al that could
be wished for. He says, however. that
II will be possible TO stop some sales
of liquor which could not be reached
under state law.
The main point we gain in this
bill is that it permits us to seize LIQUOR
which is en- route" he said. For in
stance, we have q case now on hand
where liquor which was consigned to a
lodge at OskalOOsa was seized at the
station on the ground that it was be-
ing shipped to be used for illegal pur-
poses. The law is not now clear as to
whether we had a right to seize this
liquor. Under the Webb bill the liquor
would be ClaSsed as an illegal ship
ment n could be stopped at any point
after it was consigned, provided the
shipment was consigned to dry ter
ritory."
The Webb bill will catch all clubs.
societies, lodges or parties to whom liq-
uor Is shipped, provided these lodges
or clubs are in dry" territory. The
dispensing OF liquors by such lodges
or clubs Is contrary to law, hence the
liquor In illegally shipped and can be
seized under the Webb bill.
The bill does not prevent the ship
ment Of liquor from any point outside
of Iowa to any point in Iowa to a pri-
vate individual for his w home con-
sumption. 1t will prevent such ship
ment to any person who expects to sell
the liquor.

WEBB LIQUOR BILL
PASSES OVER VETO
Senate Passed Measure and
House Follows Example BY
Overwhelming Vote.

Washington, March 3.-By a vote OF
244 to 95 the House Saturday passed
ove President Taft's veto. the Webb
bill prohibiting shipment Of intoxicating
liquors into dry" states. The Senate
passed 1t over the veto of Friday and
the bill now becomes law.
Only one other time in the last 20
years has congress overridden a pres
ident's veto. That was when the Rainy
river dam bill was passed over Pres
jdent Roosevelt's disapproval.
The o to override the presidents.
veto was brought up In the House al
most at the outset of the session.
Immediately following the reading of
the message, Chairman Clayton. of the
judiciary committee. moved to recon
slider the Webb bill and pass II over
the presidents veto. .
General debate followed. ...>4
Quickly Passes Senate.
The Webb liquor bill. prohibiting III
shipment of liquor into dry states,
was repassed in the Senate over Presi-
dent Taft's veto within W hours. from
the time the presidents message OF
disapproval had been laid before that
body. A short debate In which the ad.
vocates of tie bill voted down a mo.
ton to postpone action. and in which
they reaffirmed their belief that the
measure is constitutional, ended with
the repassage of the bill by the large
majority of GO to 81. +
The Webb bill passed both houses OF
congress and went to the president 10
days ago. His veto message reached
the Senate about 3 O'Clock, accompa-
MED by al opinion from the attorney
general. Basing his decision pon the
attorney generals finding, the presi-
dent expressed the belief that the
measure clearly was unconstitutional
because it gave the states the right to
interfere with interstate commerce.
Senate McCumber declared both the
president and the attorney general had
~misconstrued the grounds upon which
congress had passed the prohibition
law. He said it had not attempted to
give the states the right to interfere
with commerce, but simply had de-
clared liquor an outlaw and had then
prescribed conditions under which 1t
might enter interstate ommerc
Senator Kenyon also briefly urged
passage of the bill. while Senators

dent Taft's veto,

STATE GETS BACK 2oo, 900 ACRES.
Tyrone and Blue Mountain Companies
Hit BY Land Board Campaign.


Denver.-Iwo more Carey act pro
jects have gone to the wall and turned
100000 acres back to the state as q
result of the campaign started by the
new State Land Board to collect de-
linquent payments on certificates OF
purchase. The second requirement
that all promoters appear before the
board and make proof of work done
on the project has scared others and
it is believed that fully half million
acres of good land will be returned to
Colorado before the board cleans up
the tangles in the department.
The Tyrone Canal Company of Las
Animas county has surrendered %, 900
acres reserved for its project.
This company was capitalized for
$l,000,000, but owing to litigation over
the Seven Lakes reservoir site, has
been unable to start work on its pro-
ject. No money has been collected on
its contracts. The new board requires
that promoters forfeit their rights to
segregated lands when no work is done
to improve the property.
The Blue Mountain Canal Company,
which has a pending application for
$4,000 acres of land in Rio Blanco
and Routt counties, has sent notice
that it will abandon its project and
dissolve as a corporation.
The Park Floral Company was for
mally notified that it must give up
possession of the land it has been
renting from the state at East Cofax
and the Esplanade entrance to City
Park and pay Colorado $4,000 due
from back rental. Register Volney
Hoggatt of the land board met attor-
neys for the floral company and for
mally demanded possession of the
land and money due the state.
