| THE TRUSTS.
In my last annual message to congress,
I called attention to the necessity for
early action to remedy such evils q might
be found to exist in connection with com.
binations Of capital Organized into trusts,
and again invite attention to my discussion
on the subject at that time which con.
cluded with these words; "It 10 apparent
that uniformity Of legislation upon this
subject inthe various states is much to be
desired. It is to be hoped that such uni
formity founded In wise and just dis
elimination between what Is injurious had
what Is useful and necessary in business
operations may be obtained and that
means may be found for congress- within
the limitations Of its constitutional power
50 to supplement an effective code OF state
legislation as to make complete System
Of laws throughout the United States ade-
quate to compel general observance Of
the salutory laws to which have re-
ferred. The whole question is 80 import
ant and far-reaching that am sure no
part will Be lightly considered, but every
phase will have the studied deliberation
Of congress. resulting in wise and judie-
ious action"
Restraint upon such combinations % are
injurious and which are within federal
Jurisdiction should be promptly applied
by congress.
