TALKS OF TRUSTS AND FIGHTS.
Governor Roosevelt Refers to Them
In His Message.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 3.-The state leg
islature convened in annual session to-
day, In the senate Timothy E. Els
worth Of Niagara county was re-elect-
ed president pro TEN and in the house
Frederick Nixon Of Chautaqua county
was reelected speaker. The annual
message of Governor Theodore ROOse-
Welt was read. The governor treats at
considerable length the subjects of
modern industrial combinations and
trusts.
'The contrast offered in the highly
specialized industrial community be-
tween the very rich and the very pOOr.p
says the governor, lis exceedingly dis
tressiDg. and while under normal con-
ditions the requirement of wealth by
az individual is necessarily Of great
Incidental benefit to the community as
a whole, yet this is by no means always
the case. In our great cities there is
plainly in evidence much wealth con-
trasted with much poverty and some of
the wealth has been acquired or is
used'in a manner for which there is no
moral Justification. The Chi
canery and the dishonest. even though
not technically illegal methods, through
which some great fortunes have been
made are scandalous to our civiliza-
ton. The man who, by swindling or
wrongdoing, acquires great wealth,
stands as low morally as a malev0lent
and is a more dangerous member of
society.
Should be Punished.

course, such laws are even more need

or trusts than with Individuals
''They are needed quite as much for
the sake of honest corporations as for
the sake of TIE public. The corporation
that manages its affairs honestly has
a right to demand protection against
the dishonest corporation.
The chief abuses alleged to arise
from trusts are probably the follow
ing: Misrepresentation or conceal
ment regarding material facts con-
nected with the organization Of an en-
terprise; the evils connected with un-
scrupulous promotions; over-capltali-
cation; unfair competition, resulting in
the crushing out Of competitors who

ing Of prices above fair competitive
rates the welding of increased power
over the wage earners. Some of these
evils could be partially remedied by a

Rights of a State.

Where a trust becomes a monopoly
tie state has an immediate right to
interfere. Care should be taken not to
stifie enterprise or disclose any facts of
a business that are essentially private,
but the state, for the protection of the
public, should exercise the right to in
spect, to examine thoroughly all the
workings of great corporations just as
is no" done with banks. and wherever
the interests Of the public demand it, it
should publish the results of its ex-
animation. Then if there are inOrdi-
nate profits, competition or public sen
timent, will give the public the ben
eft in lowered prices, and if not, the
power of taxation remains"

do all the objections which apply to

gravated forms, but in addition the ex-

vastly smarter than the stouter ones.
