by the Chicago businessmen who re-
Gently called upon him at the White
House and discussed pending anti-trus'
legislation. The Chicagoans urged
that antitrust legislation be limited
to the creation OF strong trade com
mission empowered to administer the
Sherman law as interpreted by the
courts.
The visitors told the president that
times are dull because OF uncertainty
among businessmen as to how certain
legislation, just passed and pending,
will work out. They declared that the
pending antitrust bills if passed would
add to the uncertainty and confusion
in the business world.
The Chicago Association of Com
MERGE" its president, Joseph De
Frees, told Mr. Wilson, reached the
conclusion that the broad general
statements of sections ! and OF the
Sherman law, forbidding restraint Of
trade and monopoly, as pointed out
by the supreme court in the tobacco
case, when taken together covered ev-
cry conceivable act which could pos
sibly come within the spirit or prohi-
bition of the law without regard to the
garb in which such action is clothed.
1T was held that in view of the gen.
eral language of the statute and the
public policy which 1t manifested
there was no possibility of frustrating
that policy by resorting to any dis

to escape by any indirection the prohi-

, competition is not necessary in order
to reach the various business practices
combinations, ETC., which are subject
20 criticism. The position of the as
ISOLATION may be succinctly stated as
follows:
1T believes
81. The Sherman law should be re-
tanned and not changed.
"2. 1t should be administered by a
strong, businesslike commission which
should act upon its own initiative, upon
the request of the president, the de-
partment Of justice, or upon complaint
of aggrieved individuals.
"3. An extensive system of defni-
tons is not practicable. Each case
should depend upon its own circum-
stances. The criterion is not as to
whether competition is to some extent
reduced, but as to whether the prac-
tice is fair or reasonable and not
against the public interest.
~. The commission should have
broad powers of investigation and
power to determine and order the
discontinUance of those practices for
hidden by the law, and such investiga-
ton should precede action in the
courts by the attorney general.
"5. The commission should have
jurisdiction over individuals as well
as corporations.
So The commission should have
power to award damages as reparation
TO injured parties.
az. Inasmuch as the commission
would have power to investigate and
forbid when unlawful any business
practice of any one, an extensive and
expensive system of annual reports
would be a burden and unnecessary.
"s. The form of bill suggested by
our association as an expression of
its principles and creating such a
commission follows as far as practic-
able the interstate commerce act and
furnishes merely machinery for the

New Regulation Applies to Guns
Since July 4, 200 Scott county people
have paid so cents each for selling
firearms. This is in accordance with
the new state law which went into ef-
feet on that date. II is provided by
the new state law that every dealer
must pay a fee of so cents for every
pistol sold by him and a complete rec
ord OF the sale must be made and filed
in the office OF county Recorder Frank
Holm. This law. 1t is said, is made
for the purpose of precaution SO that
no irresponsible or desperate persons
will be permitted to carry them. All
hardware men and others who handle
pistols must take out the license for
each gun sold and pay a fee of so
cents when selling a pistol. With this
fee must be filed the description of the
pistol sold. together with the person
purchasing. The new law has a good
purpose. The object of it is safeguard
ing the public against irresponsible or
desperate persons who purchase fire
arms promiscuously. II a record can
be kept of it IT is not likely that these
people will carry pistols for a very
long time.

to the Sherman law and the interstate
commerce law.

of this commission would soon pro-
duce a body of business law for the
guidance of the community, and by
reason of the simplicity and celebrity
with which it might act would avoid
the long and tedious delays now
necessary through the action of the
courts. 1t is not intended that action
of the courts for the enforcement of
the Sherman law should be super
seded but IL is thought that the will
ingNess of business to accede to the
law as interpreted and administered
by this commission would in the ma
jority of cases make resort to the
courts unnecessary. In addition, the
action Of the commission is subject to
