underlying monopolies. The impor-
tant consideration is not how MANY
trusts possess them, but to what ex-
tent are they possessed. If one trust
monopolized all patents, all transpor-
tatlon routes, and all land, it would
be the absolute master of the world.
Yet Mr.. Carnegie could stir say that
few trusts control monopolies. In
deed, he could improve upon himself,
and jubilantly eXclaim that whereas
once monopolies were controlled by
a few trusts. they are now controlled
by only one! The portentious thing
about this matter is that fundamental
monopolies are in fact steadily COM
ing within the control of fewer and
fewer trusts. Conditions have even
now reached point where trusts
themselves, with all their advantages
of organization, must go to the wall
unless they are either among the few
that possess or share in fundamental
monopOlies.-Public.

number of vigorous complaints from
the members of the national commit

throughout the country over the ac-

the committeeman who have written
Chairman Jones on this subject have
urgently requested that a meeting of
the committee be called with a view
to reconsidering its action in decid-
ing to hold the convention in that CITY.
Chairman Jones says certain members
seem very determined in their efforts
to change the location of the conven-
ton from Kansas City to some other
more desirable city. No action has
yet been taken in the matter by
Chairman Jones, though he has it un-
der serious consideration
