 ling of the trust problem to housa committees. The conference at tne
 White House arranged at the request 1 of Senator Newlands, chairman of | the interstate committee centered up-
 on improvement of the interstate
 trade commission bill, as drafted by
 the house judiciary subcommittee In- terest was added 10 the meeting by assurances of cooperation with the ] Democrats by Republican members Of
 the committee Senators Oliver and
 Lippit participated in the discussion having been urged by Chairman New lands to draft amendments to the
 trade commission bill which would act
 as a safeguard against unnecessary

 We must allow a certain degree of concentration among corporations, '" said Former Commissioner Smith There should be an automatic regu- iation of corporations and the high ways should be kept open for compe- tition. but there should be no attempt to force them to compete against their will. We tried it in the Stand. ard Oil case, for instance, and did not succeed The oil monopoly now is not based on the concentrated control of the oil wells or the oil area, but because the Standard Oil Company owns the pipe lines, the only emans of getting the oil away from the wells"

CHIHAUHAU BANKS
 OPEN FOR BUSINESS
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO BE OPERATED UNDER THE STATE
 GUARANTEE.

Chihuahua. Mex, Feb. 11.-Local banks which discontinued business several months ago as a result of chaotic conditions are taken over by the state government in a decree is sued by Gov. Chao today. The de cree is in accordance with the ultim- alum of Venustiano Carranza, head of the rebel government, who named Feb. 10, as the limit of the period in which banks might reopen as private institutions.
 It is probable that the banks will be consolidated into one receiver ship and operated by the receivers. The banks named in the decree are:
 Banco Minero, Branch of Banco Nacional de Mexico, Banco De Son ora and Banco Commercial Refran- cionario.
 Early in the revolution the banks were embarrassed by forced loans but these were trivial burden com pared to the decree which declined to recognize Mexican money in rebel territory.
 The banks had no option but to close.
 It is assumed that when the banks are reorganized under the receiver ship they will be used to circulate the new rebel money, some of it in coin being minted here and several millions being engraved in the Unit ed States.
