Speakers Before Chamber Of
/ Commerce'of United States
CrIticises Policies.

Associated Press.
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 12.=At-
tention of the chamber of commerce
of the United States, in annual con-
vention here with delegates present
from virtually every important COM
mercial organization in the country,
was held today by animated discus
sion and debate ON the administra-
tion antitrust legislation program.
Victor Norawetz. of New York, de-
clared unequiyocally against the pro-
posed trust measures now under con-
sideration by congress, asserting that
they impose additional prohibitions
which would give rise to additional
uncertainty and litigation" He ad-
vocated, however, the establishment
of a federal interstate trade commits
sion under an act carefully defining
its functions, powers and duties"
Referring to the proposed meas
ures, Mr.. Norawetz said some of the
bills instead of furnishing safe
guards to industry against the forces
which have disturbed 1t, would place
shackles upon legitimate business and
enterprise" None of the bills, he
declared. would tend to make the
present law more definite or certain.
The antitrust act prohibits in
the broadcast language restraints of
trade and monopolizing' he continu-
ed, "and 1t is now settled that the
purpose and policy of the act can
not be avoided by any disguise or
subterfuge. | doubt that any statute
can be drawn that would really make
the act more definite and certain ex-
cept, either by limiting the scope of
the act and defeating its purpose or
by subjecting commerce to a set of
cast iron rules that would cripple it,.
Certainly, neither the so-called bill
to define the Sherman law or the
so-called trade relations bill,' or
any of the other bills, make the law
more definite
Such legislation leads to con-
tempt for the law and to lawlessness.
and substitutes government by exec
utive will for government under laws
1t is true that more effective machin-
cry could be provided for ascertain
ing violations of the present law. for
obtaining prompt decision as to it's
application to specific cases, and for
enforcing its prohibitions more eff
ficiently. The creation of an inter-
state trade commission could attain
that result and would be wise and
defective measure"
Henry r. Seager. professor of po-
litical economy of Columbia Univer-
sity, New York, told the convention
of the chamber of commerce of the
United States here today that he re-
garded the proposed creation of an
interstate trade commission as wor-
thy of unqualified support. In urg-
ing the creation of the commission,
he said, President Wilson voiced the
mature Judgment of students of the
trust problem

Seager. ito give the <broadest powers

COMB SAGE TEA N

It's Grandmother's Recipe to Keep
Her Locks Dark, Glossy, Thick.

streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite sem
sible, as we are living in an age
when youthful appearance is of the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product called "Wyeth's Sage and

cents a bottle. 1t is very popular
because nobody can discover It has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
OF abundance which is so attractive;
besides, prevents dandruff, itching
scalp and falling hair.

this arm will soon be the strong arm
on which the iothers-Athe attorney
general and the courts--will come to
lean"
President Charles r. Van Hise, of
the University of Wisconsin, propos-
ed that the Sherman antitrust law
should be supplemented by an act
which would forbid only combina-
lions and contracts in restraint of
trade that are detrimental to the
welfare of the people. He charged
that for political reasons laws
against monopolies and restraints Of
trade are enforced only against big
business" the small dealer, the farm
er and the laborer being permitted
to combine and monopolize at will.
Under the enforced competitive
system" President Van Mise said,
I'VE are recklessly skimming the
cream of the natural resources of a
virgin continent, with no concern for
the future"
To support this contention, the
speaker said that the coal mines
could produce 200,O00.000 tons more
coal per year than the market de-
manded, but that the operators, reg
ulated by the Sherman act, were
compelled to handle their mines.
without cooperation in limiting the
output. dividing territory. or regu-
lating prices. Such practices result,
he said, in mining in a wasteful
fashion, working thick veins and ne
glecting the thin veins in order to
get coal to the market at the lowest
possible cost
IF the operators could agree upon
limitation of output, SO as to reduce
freight" continued the speaker,
and could arrange for reasonable
prices, which would give them no
more than their present profits, they
would exploit coal conseryatively,
and they would be the gamers in
prolonging the life of the mines for
future generations.
So far as the public is concerned
in the separation of the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific railways,
the only effect is that there will be
fewer through trains, greater ex-
Eense in accounting, and less close
cooperation between the two sys-
tens. in handling the freight and
passenger business.

forcement of the law when it is en-

a profoundly immoral situation. To

CENTRAL PACIFIC
Will DEED Lands

A good many years ago, in tn eearly
days of the Central Pacific, Charles
Crocker the Pacific Improvement
company and the Contract and FL
nance company gave to certain resi-
dents of various Nevada cities, such
as Reno, Lovelock, Verdi and Wells,
deeds to certain parcels of land
along the railroads right-of-
way. These deeds, however, do not
appear to have been based on any au-
thority of conveyances from the rail
road company, and the holders of the
land in question have never had a
clear title. They have, however, in
most cases put valuable improvements
on their lots and have put themselves
in such a position that it would be
unjust to now disturb them. !.
Recognizing the moral obligation in
the matter and to set at rest fears the
property holders might have as to the
validity of their titles, the Central
Pacific Railway company, through
President w. F. Herrin, is now doing
all in its power to give these proper
ty holders clear title to the land in
question. Land Commissioner B. A.
McAllaster is now issuing quit
claims to the land that the holders
may be protected as much as possible.
Under decisions of the United
States Supreme Court, railroad com
pany has no power to sell or in any
way part with any part of the right
of way given by congress, but this
confirmation in the form of quit
claims is being gwen by the company
in the hope that legislation now be-
fore congress will be passed to per-
nit the deeds to become valid. In
Elko, Carlin and Winnemucca,
where property was transferred to in
dividuals in the early days. the deeds
were given by the Central Pacific
company so it is unnecessary for the
company to isue eonfrmatorv deeds
