OWNERSHIP BY THE PEOPLE.
One Way to Fight the Big Trusts Be
ing Formed

AUSTIN, Tex, June Ex-Governor Say
ers to-day received lengthy letter from
Governor J. r. Rogers of the State of
Washington on the subject of the anti
trust movement and the proposed confer
ence of Governors and Attorney-Generals
to be held in ST. LOUIS. Governor Rogers
says that it is his opinion that many
people are advocating State control of
trusts with insincerity, thinking in this
way to pass through the next national
campaign with safety to themselves. feel
ing sure that whatever State legislation
may be enacted which will really curb the
power of trusts will be eventually de-
clared unconstitutional by the United
States Supreme Court. He says that in
many instances so-called trusts are mere
ly larger corporations and that such cor
porations possess q vested and constitu-
tional right to buy and sell. He concludes
by stating that he can see no remedy for
the trust evil save public ownership, and
that he will not attend the proposed con-
ference at ST. Louis.
Governor William A Stone of Pennsyl-
vania writes that he will give the pro-
posed conference consideration.
