Of less Importance than that decision be
reached whether congressional action OF
legislative character can be disreSarded by

raised by Secretary Olney's statement
Philadelphia Ledger: As we have said the
president is the president of the people, and
his conduct Is subject to the scrutiny and
review which the constitution has given to
the house of representatives and the senate.
He is thus under the highest responsibility,
and his means of fulfilling 1t are far better
than congress can possibly possess. Let
us then preserve the clear and even distri-
button and balance of powers among the
three departments of the government which
both philosophy and experience have proved
to be the wiscst known among men. And
let us preserve both our solf-possession and
our self-respect, and take care OF the immc-
didte interests OF all parts of our people,
without exposing them to the unnumbered
msfOrtunes that must attend the proposed
crusade which has been propagated and nur
tured more, we suspect, in view of the SELF
interests than for the sake of humanity.
Philadelphia Record: Mr.. Olney's position
is impregnable. Congress cannot override
constitutional limitations upon its powers
even by a two-thrds vote overrulng the
presidents veto, and the executive has the
same right as the judiciary to repe uncorl-

LEGISLATION AGAINST TRUSTS.
How They May Uc Reached by an
Amended Federal Law.
ClICnoO Post

The federal judge whose decision against
the Wire Nail trust was one OF the prlncl-
pal causes of the collapse of that combma-
tion, Jonn II. Baker OF Indiana, in the
course of an interview has expressed GER
tain opinions as to legislation necessary TO
sunplement or strengthen the federal and
state statutes already in existence. Ic
thinks that the ruling of the supreme court
in the Knight case, which held that If the
primary purpose of trust was not unlaN-
full any incidental effect ii might have in
restraint of Interstate commerce was not
within the scope of the sherman antitrust
law crippled and narrowed the federal power
TO deal with the trust evil. But this defect
can be rcmedied. Inasmuch as congress has
the power to regulate commerce. Judge
Baker sees no obstacle in the way OF an
amendment 20 the Sherman law specifically
preventing even such combinations as may,
i'm the pursuit of a primarily lawful purpose,
have an incidental or indirect effect of in
tsrrupting the free flow OF commerce.
with this amendment most of the powerful
trusts would become amenabe to federal
authority and the impotence to which the
government has been condemned would be
removed
However. Judge Baker admits that the
several states can deal with the abuse far
more effectively than the federal govern
ment. He says
THE crying need of state legislation lies
in the fact that corporations, the creatures
of the state, are permitted to absorb or
combine with other corporations OF like
character, while the corporations of other
states are permitted to come in and grasp
property and corporate rights, crush out COM
petition and interfere with free commerce.
The only ground a corporation of another
state has to ask to do business in this state
upon is that of comfy. The legislature
has the unquestionable right to define linz
itatons within which a corporation of an
other state may do business in this state,
or to refuse 1t admission altogether. The
Standard Oil trust has spread over nearly
every state in the union, yet any state had
the right to say that it should not come
within its territory"
Tho remedy appears to be as simple as ii Is
| ra,ti able. L ct it be made C iminal offense
to organize any combination in restraint OF
trade and let prosecuting attorneys be re-
quired to bring civil suit TO break up trusts.
The right OF such state representatives TO
bring suit against foreign corporations has
been denied. but legislation can settle the
question by explicitly comforting this power
Furthermore it would not be too severe, ac-
cording to Judge Baker. to require that the

AN ExrLANA Tfos WANTED

The December apportionment Of the
temporary school fund made by the state
superintendent Of public instruction cm-
bodies an exhibit of the income OF that
fund which suggests n pertinent inquiry.
After enumerating the various items of
revenue derived from taxation and from
intcrest-bearing securities there Is de-
Quoted from the total S2i,B2I5S, said to
b. the amount held in suspended state
repositories.
The question is How did this school
money get into repositories that have
suspended since the last apportionment?
The last biennial report of the state
treasurer shows that he had credited the
temporary school fund with the $1,000 In
the failed Buffalo County National bank.
The exhibit submitted to Superintendent
Corbett shows Il 10 per cent dividend
on this deposit which would Indicate
that the principal is not counted in the
$4,000 in question. Manifestly the
state treasurer has charged up to the
temporary school fund practically all the
deposits in banks that have failed within
the last six months.
How does it come that the treasurer
finds it convenient to make school fund
deposits in the weakest banks when by
the constitution he is required to eXer-
else special care over trust funds held
for the benefit of the public schools?
For some reason the present treasurer
has made it his business to keep the pub
lie mystfied about the disposition of the
public funds so that nobody outside of
his office could possibly tell where the
money belonging to any particular fund
is deposited. The whole system has
been perverted for the promotion of
speculative banking. under preteXt that
the weak banks had to be protected and
propped by the state.
Surely this is not the intent of the de
pository law which was enacted for the
protection of the state, rather than of
the depository banks. The school fund
of all public moneys should have been
placed in the strongest instead of the
shakieSt institutions. From external
evidence it would seem rs if the treas
urer had credited the temporary school
fund with these deposits after. and not
before, the banks had gone under. II
that be true. some decisive action will
have to be taken by the incoming lcgis-
lature to stop such questionable prac-
