Jeremiah Whipple Jenks has received information on a potential Democratic anti-trust bill for the voluntary incorporation by the federal government of corporations doing interstate business. The Democrats believe that such a bill will create embarrassment when rejected by Republicans but will also be too rigid to be approved. Jenks suggests the Roosevelt administration examine a similar bill passed in New York to prepare for the Democratic scheme.
