But the mammoth structure will be
more than mere monument. 1t will
contain a museum and art gallery.
Beauty, gradeur and usefulness will
be combined. There will be an audi

county will have an individual room as
signed to 1t for its own special histor-

given the monument will be conceal.

Besides the big auditorium there will
be three other halls for meetings of

Above these statues will be placed

HARVESTER CO. ANXIOUS
That Government knowledge of Its
Business Be Kept Quiet.

Washington. Feb. 6-The vast or
ganization of the $40, 100000 Inter-
national Harvester Co, and its i'm
portant relation to the farmer through
control of n substantial proportion of
agricultural machinery is disclosed in
the long expected report of the bureau
of corporations to be submitted to
President Taft within a few days.
1t points out that the International
Harvester Co. organized in 1902
brought under one control, through J.
P. Morgan & Co.. as underwriters, five
great concerns manufacturing harves-
ter machinery and twine-the MeCor-
mick. Deering, Plano, Champion and
Milwaukee Cos. Since then. it is said,
the parent corporation has been in
creased By the acquisition of the Os-
borne Co. and other organizations.
through which the concern has spread
it's business to various subsidiary
lines such as farm wagons, gasoline
and alcohol engines, cream separaters,
tractors and manure spreaders.
1t is estimates that perhaps 80 per
cent. of harvesters, IS per cent. of
mowers and so per cent. of binder
Irvine used in the United States are
made by the International Harvester
Co. Stock TO the amount of $9,45o,0 00
it is declared, was issued to j. p. Nor
gan & Co, for service and legal ex-
penses in organizing the giant corpora
ton.
The commissioner of corporations
discusses the operation of the COM
pany in detail, pointing to the fact
that, unlike other industries, the
wholesale dealer is absent, the manu-
facturer selling directly to the retailer
Particular attention is paid to the
practice of the company in entering
into contracts with retail dealers. es-
tablishing them as agencies for the
sale of the company's products.
The 81, 100000 International Harves-
ter Co. of America is described as
simply the selling agency for the en-
tire output of all the factories of the
International Harvester Co., or It's
subsidiaries.
President Taft now is being urged
by counsel for the Harvester Co., to
withhold the details of the bureau S
report from publication until the pend
ing antitrust suit against the cor
poration instituted by Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham has been completed.
The President will make his decision
when the report reaches him. Much
OF the final data for the bureaus re-
mort was obtained from the testimony
gathered by the government IN the
antitrust suit, which is being prose-
cuted under the immediate direction
of Edwin p. Grosvenor, special assist
ant to the attorney general.
The department of justice opened
its records in this respect to the COM
missioner of corporations.
