President Taffe pro-reciprocity apeechea
In Indiana - Monday and Tueedey were
sharply criticised In the senate today by
Senator Cummins.
"When tha president abandons tha duties
of hla office and enters upon a campaign
to mould or lead - publie opinion on thla
reciprocity bill,' said Mr. Cummina, "them
be la on tba same level aa any other anaa
and cannot be exempt from tha oiitldam
of tha argument a he uses."
Senator Cummins attacked tha'praeldant'a
statement that removal of tha duty oa
farm products would not reduce tha cost
of living. He said tile president waa thus
Inconsistent In urging that tha Canadian
ogrcement will benefit -consumers. -
Disclaiming, however, any Intention of
criticising tha president personally, Mr.
Cummins said:
"It is vastly batter for him to go through
tha country trying to lead and Influence
publle opinion than it would be for hlia to
use tha power of hie great offloe to carry
thla bill through congress."
Ka declared that If tha president a apeech
waa to ba taken as tha explanation .of tha
purposes of the Canadian bill congreaa had
better adjourn.
"I believe thla special session of 1811 will
ba know in history aa tha ' sees Ion - that
more firmly fastened on the people and the
country tha burdens of special' tariff privi
Jegea." Bartow Sph for Bill.
Senator " "puTtittt of Ohio... with a --ptef-atory
explanation that ha waa not assum
ing to defend tha administration, because
"the administration needs bo .defense,
made a notable speech In behalf of tha
Canadian reciprocity bill In the senate to
day. He declared that reciprocity waa the
tha "ultimate dee tiny" of Canada, and tha
Tntted States; that all natural conditions
were oppoaed to tha maintenance of border
warfare In commercial matters, and that
the farmer of tha United Btatea would
not suffer injury from tha enactment of
the Canadian agreement.
Senator Burton waa moat emphatio In hla
endorsebent of tha agreement. Ha de
clared reciprocity would not Injure tha
farmer's Interests.
"In the early discussion there waa a out
cry In. some quartera that tha adoption of
the agreement would reduce tha profits
obtained by the farmers," aald Senator Bur
ton.
Will Not lajaro Farmer.
"VThpe this claim la still made oa behalf
of specific localities and certain products,
tha general ground of opposition baa shifted
and It ia now maintained not that tha
agreement will confer a present Injury upon
the farmers, but that in the future It will
lower the prlcea which they will receive.
"What Is this but a demand for Increased
protection oa food products? How can an
advocate for lower duties aupport such a
proposition? This nation cannot maintain
Ha present position without an abundant
aupply of the primary necessities of life,
especially of essential articles of food.
"The intention of the proposal for
reciprocity la not to reduce the price of
articles sold by the farmer. Tba alight

It would require all the Industrial cor
poratlona having control exceeding 16,000,000
to make satisfactory statementa aa to capi
talization, finances and operation, auch
corporations to be known aa "United Statea

make lack of auch registration an "indica
tion of something wrong." -
Mr. Newlands declared that If such leg
islation had replaced or aided tha Sherman
anti-trust act that mora than twenty year
ago thla country would have advanced
aa far In regulation of industrial organisa
tion aa it haa in railroad regulation. Ha
referred to reoent expressions of Mr. Oaary
of the atael corporation and others as In
dicating that the great corporation man
agers recognise that public regulation la
now Inevitable.
Mr. Newlands said hla plan proposes that
frequent reports ba required from the cor
poratlona, Information of public Interest to
be published from time to time; the com
mission to ba nonpartisan; not more than
three members to be ef one party, and tha
term of office to be ten year. Mr. New
land aald that hla- plan makes ao attempt
to give too many powers of correction or
punishment nor the power of fixing prlcea,
but Its powers may ba enlarged aa experi
ence aball Indicate.
Tha measure proposed by Mr. Nawjaads
Includes these provisions: , ,
"Tha commission may at any time cancel
tha registration of aay registered corpora
tion, . tor Improper financial organisation,
oppressive or unfair method of competi
tion, acceptance of railroad rebates, re
fusal to allow access to records, of non
compliance with any Judicial decree ren
dered under the Sherman act. It may la
extreme case for auch offenses debar tha
offending corporation from Tg'"g la
interstate commerce, and It may require
correction of over-capitalization."
