TRUSTS.

The United States Industrial Com
| mission is taking evidence about the
| creation of Trusts, and asks men of
experience to suggest ways of prevent
ing their organization.
Mr.. J. j. Myers, a Massachusetts
member of Congress, suggests that laws
be enacted permitting stocks to be is
sued only to amount of the actual va
lue of the properties upon which the
Trust is based. He urged that the
Trusts are not created in order to
economic Production but in order to
get over-capitalized securities, which
were put upon the public; that it is one
OF the ways Of making money with
out work, and highly satisfactory to
the promoters of Trusts. He called the
attention of the Commission to the
fact that the laws of Massachusetts
forbid the issue of stock for an amount
exceeding the actual value of the
property involved The enforcement
of this law if generally adopted would
instantly stop the creation of Trusts
But the only way such law could
be enforced would be in the appoint
ment of State officers whose duty it
would be to certify to the actual value
of the property, before permitting the
issue Of stock. The submission of the
list of properties, including lands, to
an intelligent board of commissioners
for correct valuation. would in
nearly every case discourage the
promoters of Trusts, for they would
usually be left with only small mar
gins of profit. Only those Trusts
would be created which actually secur-
ed economic advantages.
There is not, at present, any strong
public sentiment in favor of making
the Trusts put their organizations on
a business basis. The men who today
oppose Trusts, on principle, will, to-
morrow, favor them, if asked to come
in on the ground floor and make
some money out of the transaction
without labor There is not, through
out America, any serious opposition to
ma jOrity of men are ready and anxious
to share in doing the "skinning," if
there is money in it. Until public |
opinion is changed. and is better edu
