SEVEN BILLIONS IN TRUST
Some Interesting Facts and Fig
ures AbOnt the Big Combines
in the United States.

I'm the general review of the trust
question in it's relation to the Pres
idential campaign The Saturday
Evening Post presents a mum Der
of interesting facts and figures.
According to the only s'm-ofiic'al
statement the trusts formed in this
country in recent years have CAPT
talizations that produced the al
most incredible total Of over seven
billions If dollars. The Saturday
Evening Post gives list of thirty
com binations each of which has a
capitalization Of over fifty millions
of dollars. 1t says:
These thirty combinations are
credited with capital amounting to
two and 0ne-third billions OF dol
lars. The entire general stock OF
money Of I'LL kinds in the United
States, gold, silver, notes and GER
tiGcateo, amounts to about ~, 7O0,-
100000. So that if all the four
hundred combines in the list should
try to turn their capitalizatlons III
to cash they would Use up every
penny of tie nations money and
then have only about forty per
cent. of their demands. Indeed.
the thirty corporations mentioned
would nearly use up all our cash
Of course, we know that business
is transacted mostly on credit and
this gives an entirely different view
of the case, but the comparisons
show the real financial hugeness of
the modern combinations.
Congress and twenty-nine OF the
States have passed laws expressly
designed and constructed to prohlb-
it trusts, and yet the trusts have
increased more rapidly since these
laws were passed and have grown
more in capitalization than ever be-
fore in the country's history.
"A great trouble is the lack of
uniformity in the various laws
For instance, New Jersey, Delaware
and West Virginia deliberately
loosened and broadened their III
corporation la IS in order to i'll
crease the Income of the State
governments by the fees. 1t the
same time Massachusetts, which is
said to have the best corporation
law in the country, has a state
commissioner of corporation to ex-
anime and approve the certificate
of organization, and cOnpels every
corporation to pay in the whole
amount Of It's capital stock before
it can begin business, and after
that to make annual statements tC
