there were women in the troupe.

FEDERAL BUSINESS
LICENSES PLANNED
Senator 0'Mahoney Pro-
: poses Bill to Regulate In
terState Commerce.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Introduction of legislation to regu-
late business through a system Of Fed
eral licenses for all industries engaged
In interstate commerce was planned
today by Senator O'Mahoney, Demo-
crat, of Wyoming.
An enlarged Federal Trade Commis
sion would enforce the provisions of
the measure, designed to maintain
labor and fair competitive standards
and protect investors Many of
N. r. AS objectives would be included
Aims at Vicious Practices.
THE bill" OMahoney said, "un-
dertakes to establish government
in industry by outlawing vicious prac-
tices by means OF which the invest
ing public has been victimized in the
past"
The. proposal involves a national
system OF incorporation. which he said
was substantially the same" as that
recommended m 1910 by President
Taft. The bills drafting, the Senator
explained. was the outcome of con-
ferences with Charlton Ogburn, coun-
sci for the American Federation OF
Labor, Trade Commission representa-
tiveS and others.
1T is put forward at this time to
draw public attention to this problem
the most important facing the Ma
ton today" OMahoney said.
Provisions Of Bill.
Through licenses, which the Wyo-
ming Senator contended were con-
stitutional method of regulating COM
merce." the bill would:
Protect the fundamental rights Of
collective bargaining and of freedom
from child labor and discrimination
against women
Make every director q trustee for
stockholders and subject to actual
and punitive damages for unconscion
able profits"
Give all stock an equal voting power
Create "a system OF accredited cor
poration representatives, certified by
the Trade Commission. to whom small
stockholders could send proxies for
representation at stockholders meet
ings.
Limit corporation surpluSes to
given proportion of the capital stock
and direct distribution of excess sur
plus to stockholders. allowing institu-
ton OF an employe profit sharing
plan.
The Trade Commission would have
its membership boosted from FIVE to
nine commiSsioners-thre for en-
ployers. three for employees and three
for the general public. 1t would be
authorized to develop a general pro-
gram for the coordination, stabiliza-
ton and orderly development of basic
Industries in the interest of "a real
distribution of the wealth Of the
country"

business and Government into a
healthy and mutually trustful rela-
tionship. 1t is a task or which the
President has thus far failed lament
ably. He has alienated business lead
ers and. now that, one by one. they
have drifted away from him, he has
shown signs of q definite policy to
stir up class prejudice against them.
Were such a policy clearly in the
public interest, were IL to lead ulti-
mately to recovery, it would be passed
by as essential to a painful period
Of reconstruction. But 1t is not lead
ing to less friction, but more fric-
tion. Class warfare is dangerous to
any democratic people and leads to
serious civil strife in countries where
the popIlace has less poise than the
American people. The social damage
of 1t, the retardation of economic
progress which it causes are all too
evident.
Once the people of the United States
get the idea that the administration
in power is full of personal grudges
and pique, and that it is not drawing
the very important distinction which
exists between "thinking" and feel
ing" there may be widespread re-
action.
For the American electorate wants
the game, political or otherwise, played
according to rules of fairness and it
never will be in sympathy with an
attack on anybody for claiming his
full constitutional rights or the pro-
lection Of laws as they have been
written.
Taxation to get revenue, taxation
with representation In government by
all interests, will be supported, how
ever painful the rates msy be.
But taxation for punitive reasons,
taxation for spite, taxation without
representation in the councils of gov
ernment of the viewpoint or personali-
ties of those who are being most heav-
lily taxed, will only lead to turmoil
and chaos.
The time for true craftsmanship, for
conciliation and diplomacy In the
National Government has arrived and
the political parties next time may
find In that simple proposition an
issue Of transcendent importance to
the success Of whatever recovery meas
ures are proposed.

Three women and a man were killed

The inside story goes that Mr. Nor
genthau did not find out about Mr.. Oil
phant helping Mr.. Parker until later.
And perhaps there were extenuating
circumstances. Possibly all Mr.. Oil
phant told Mr.. Parker was how to
number the pages of the bill. At least
that explanation is now possible, al
though not plausible.
The fact seems to be rather clear
that the attempt of the Treasury to
initiate all three monkeys as far as the
tax bill is concerned Is thin Summer
fiction.
Incidentally it pas the old sage,
Jim Watson, Wh0, as floor leader
OF the Senate in Mr.. Hooper's dd-
mintstration. once complained pri-
uatcly about the difficulty of fol-
loicing a leader NTH st. Vitus
dance. The Harrison tar complaint
was in effect against trying to
tollow shadow dance.
Also the reason why Mr.. Harrison Is
becoming so inquisitive about the
Treasury changing tree limbs in the
middle of the tax storm Is that he was
caught out on the wrong limb not so
long ago You may recall that he was
entrusted with the job of trying to at
tach the tax plan to the deficiency bill
in a hurry, and when that idea proved
to be impossible, he manfully shoul-
dered the responsibility for misunder-
standing orders.
As an explanatory note 1t should
also be mentioned at this point that
MIR. Harrison always knows more than
his words indicate.
And yet people wonder why they do
not understand what is going on in
Washington.
