FEDERAL COURTS AND THE
TTRETGU7S

At common law all monopolies in re-
straint of trade were Illegal They were
illegal because the effect of their opera
ton was believed to be against the best
interests of the community. The power
to deal with and to curb such enter
prises was inherent in the sovereign
power. In the United States that power
lies either with the state or the federal
government. Article 1. section s, of the
constitution provides that Congress
shall have power to regulate commerce
with foreign nations and among the sew
eraI states and with the Indian tribes.''
The tenth amendment to the consti-
tuition provides that ''the powers not del
egated to the United States nor prohib-
tied to the several states are reserved
to the states or to the people"
In the case of the regulation OF trusts
and other monopolies. the power of the
federal government is restricted to those
which affect commerce between the
states or with foreign nations. The diff
fculty experienced in the. few attempts
that have been made to regulate trusts
has not arisen from lack of power In
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-12-05

to be reasonably suspected of a wish to
promote the policies in industrial and
economic life which tend to the perpetual
ton Of the control of the trusts. No seri-
Gus effort has ever been put forward
by that administration to put curb on
those combinations which have sue
ceeded. as the people well realize, in
virtually monopolizing the markets, of
the country in almost all the necessaries
of life 1t is not an unreasonable belief
thai tne administration of President Nc
Kinley has a serious day of reckoning
with the American people on this subject,
unless the incoming congress follows a
policy which will lead them far outside
the narrow path marked out for legisla-
tive and administrative action in this be-
half in the present message.
The recommendations in favor of a
Iessening of the war taxes to an extent of
$3O,0OO,OOO will receive the heartiest ap-
proval of the country, which anxiously
looks forward to the day when all those
taxes will have disappeared, and the
recommendation of economy in expendi-
ture with which the president closes his
message is put in practical operation.
The vast surplus which the treasury fig
ures is of course a matter of much graft
fcation to the country; but its expendi-
ture in directions which will promote the
great object of fuller and cheaper
system of commercial distribution is
requirement which, while it receives
no consideration whatever in the mes
sage, attracts the intelligent expectations
of the country. If the policy recon-
mended by the president is followed un-
erringIy by congress, of promoting the
foreign commerce of the country by gov
ernment aid extended to shipowners en-
gagged in foreign trade, the record which
will be presented in the. coming four
years of gain to the industries of the
people will constitute one Of the strongest
claims which the administration can put
forward to a continuance in power.
No mere expression of partisanship
will suffice to cover up the many excel
lencies Of the last message Of President
Mckinley. 1t shows its author to be a
man of sterling patriotism, and no one
will be disposed to quarrel with the
claims which he puts forward as to the
increased security and extension of free
institutions, as the result of the increas-
ing prosperity of the American people.

THE ANDERSON TAX DECISION


The decision of the United States su-
preme court declaring unconstitutional
the se-calIed Anderson law will not sur
prise any one who is familiar with the
nature of the enactments of this gen
eral character which have been forced
on the people of Minnesota at intervals
during the past fifteen or twenty years
Confiscation is the one word which fully
expresses the purposes and tendencies of
their authors. The grain rate bills of Old
and the meat inspection bill are two
of the many measures Of this kind
which have found incubation beneath
the wing of the Populist and demagogic
.contingents Of all parties that have ap-
peared in the several legislatures of the
state during that period. They have all
had their day, and they have ell gone
the way the Anderson tax scheme has
gone.
1t would be gratifying if there were
any assurance that the sense of this
whole matter had been, or would be
by the present situation, forced in upon
the consciousness of those who have de-
voted their energies in the past, or are
likely to devote them in the future, to
the Gripping of the greatest industry Of
the state-its railroad carrying system.
But there is no reasonable hope of such
a result 1t is to be expected, however,
for years to come, to prevent those
whose intelligence should teach them
better from giving even their implied
sanction to such raids.
In every well ordered state in the
Union the principle is of universal ac-
| ceptance of a gross earning tax upon
the common carriers, in lieu of all other
forms of taxation. It is a blessing to
| this state, to it's revenues and its indus
tries, that this decision has been handed
down, and that, as a consequence the
principle OF the gross earning law is pre-
served to the people. Under its opera
able measure of prosperity, while the
state treasury has gained materially.
Substantial justice has been done be-
tween those corporations and the pro-
ducers Of the state, and the loss and
trouble attendant upon other systems of
| tax collection have been saved to US.
Reputation is not always attempted
through the immediate fiscal operations
of the community. 1t was reputation
which lay at the basis of this enactment
the reputation of the contract obliga-
tions OF the state. Thanks again to the
Intervention of the highest court in the
country, the mischievous and ignorant
assault upon the states credit, as well
as on its best interests, involved in this
undertaking, has been overcome, and we
will enjoy, for some time to come at
least, an exemption from repetition OF
harmful demagogism.
