"To say that Judson Harmon is in
different to the movement which is now
nation-wide to make him the leader of
the Lemocratic-progressive-patriotic ma
jority of the national electorate in the
presidential contest of 1912 would be to
Impeach his intelligence. If the exigen

as the leader in tne final, and it is to be
hoped triumphant, battle betw’een man

and unswervable determination. If an

RULED MMMISSION
Nevada Senator Urges the Es-’
tablishment of an Inter-State
Trade Commission
WASHINGTON, July s.—An Inters
state Trade Commission of five mem
bers to control industrial coronations,
as the Interstate Commerce/ Uornnls
sion controls the railrosas, was advocat
ed in the senate today by Mr. Newlanda
of Nevada. Mr. Newlands’ statement
accompanying the measure contended
that the Standard Oil and Tobacco de
cisions and the recent government re
port on the steel industy demoiitrate
th* need of “an Independent quasi -judi-j
cial and administrative tribunal of
great character and dignity as far ro-t
moved from partisan control as are the
courts.’’ The plan is to apply only td
indlstrial corporations engaged in in
terstate trade whose annual receipts ex
ceed >5,000,000.
Mr. Newland’s statement was byway
of urging the passage of a bill which
he introduced providing for his com
mission. His measure would rjquirsi
all the industrial coropratidns having
receipts exceeding >5,000,000 to make
satisfactory statements as to capitali
zation, finances said operations, such!
coroprations to be known as "United
States registered" companies. It pro- 1
poses to make the lack of such registrar
tion, "an indication of something wrong.*'
The measure proposed by Mr. Newn 1
lands includes these provisions: Ths
commission may at any time caneel the
registration of any registered corpora
tion for improper financial
oppressive or unfair methods ot compe
tition, acceptance of railroad rebates, re 4
fusal to allow access to records or non
compliance with any judicial decree un J
der the Sherman act. It may in ex- 1
treme cases, for such offenses, debar*
the offending corporations from engag
ing in interstate commerce, and it may
require correction of over-capitalization.
It’s works, according to Mr. New ands,
is not to be complicated with the admin-*
istration of anti-trust.
