New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1900-06-13

Despicable indeed must be the sex:.
tremity of any party that is compelled
to resort to trick to mislead and de-
ceive the public. That was the predica-
ment Of the Republicans in congress on
the trust issue. Not daring to meet It
direct, evasion and delay was sought BY
passing constitutional amendment Civ
ing congress power to pass all leglsla-
ton upon the subject and withdrawing
it from the states. To make this amend
ment operative it would have to pass
both houses of congress by two,thirds
votes, and be ratified by the Legislature
of three-fourths of the states. To &C
complish this in the speediest time pos
sible would require at least two and
possibly four years. In the meantime
the trusts would maintain their agrees
sive policy, and in all reasonable proba-
bilities the legislation would finally fail
and the trusts be unmolested. If rati-
fed it would take congress two and pos
IDLY three years to frame the legislation,
with chances nothing practical would
even then be secured. At best it was
intended to mislead the public and at
the same time defeat Legislation. 1t
was further desi grated to trap the Dem
ocrats and as the Republican papers
now claim put them in an attitude
of favoring trusts. The Democratic
party IS opposed to strong, centralized
government at Washington, and espe-
ciallY since the days of conquest and
imperialism this sentiment has been in
tensifed. They favor the retention of
all the powers now passed by the states,
and that to regulate trusts is conspicu-
ously one of them 4 number of states
have passed very efficient antitrust leg
islation, notably Arkansas, Texas, Ala
bama, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois and
and even Minnesota has mildly tried its
hand. In most of these effective res:
traint has been placed upon trusts.
These states naturally are unwilling to
yield their powers in this regard to a
centralized legislature, many members
of which owe their very presence to the
money and influence of the trusts.
When the people understand this mat
ter they will not be deceived, but visit,
as they richly merit, well-deserved pun
lshment for this resort to trickery and
deception.

Because the democrats in congress re-.
fused to vote for so.called anti trust
bill to saddle the constitution with an
amendment which would virtually strip
the states of all power in the premises
the republican press pirates glibly about
democratic insincerity upon the question
of the trusts. The fact of the matter,
however, is that it is the republicans
themselves who are insince1e. The PRO-
posed amendment to the constitution
reads as follows:
Section 1. All powers con ferred by
this article shall extend to the several
states, the territories, the District of Co.
lumbia and all territory under the SOW
ereignty and subject to the jurisdiction
of the United States. p.
Section 2. Congress shall have pow.
er to define, regulate, control, prohibit
or dissolve trusts, monopolles or comb
atoms, whether existing in the form of

q corporation or otherwise. The sevsr
al states may continue 70 exercise such
power in any manner net in conflict
with the lawssof the United States.
Section 8 Congress shall have pow
er to enforce the provisions Of TINS aTti-
Gle by appro priate legislation.
How much real authority to regulate
trusts would remain with the states if
such an amendment were adopted True,
they might enact laws not il conflict
with the acts of congress, but are the
people willing to take the chances2 How
much genuine relief has been had or can
be expected from Mark Hanna and 9
