Representative Newlands Calls AT

on Trust Issue.
SIX YEARS OF NEGLECT.
One Opportunity After Another -
Prove Sincere Wish 10 Control
and Restrain Trusts Has
Been Ignored.
Tn. Republic Bureau.

k+In 81 ana fclESSINdu41 ~
Washington, Aug. 24-"So far as the &C
ton Of the Republican party is concerned"
said Representative Newlands of Nevada
this afternoon. whatever may be its YER
bal expressions. it is against the policy Of
the President in regard to trust reforms.
The trust issue is bound to be the most
prominent question in the campaign.
The Republican party will rely mainly
upon the expressions of President Roose-
welt in his message and in his P~ittsburg
speech az indications of its antitrust posi-
ton, but the question is not what Mr.
Roosevelt has said. but what the views
of the Republican party and, above all, the
action OF the Republican party have been
during its six years of power just passed
The Democratic contention is that the
public utilities and the transportation ia
cilities and the corporation laws OF the
country are being SO perverted as TO permit
the formation of immense combinations or
capital which on the one hand are escaping
taxation and on the other are obtaining
undue profit.
The antitrust sentiment is not hostile
to wealth as wealth. 1t recognizes that
there must be inequalities of fortune arts
ing from difference in ability and opportu-
nifty. But it does seek TO obliterate in
equality SO far as the laws are concerned
ana TO prevent the machinery OF the law
from being used in such ways as to IN
duly promote the fortunes OF a few at the
expense of the many.
One Neglected Opportunity.
The Republican party has been in power
six years and yet has done nothing to cor
rect these evils. On the contrary, it has
legislated to promote them. In the repeal
of the war revenue axes, the Democratic
party tried to prevent the repeal of the
tax on the gross receipts of the oil and
sugar refinerIes, from which the country
derived 4 revenue OF s1.0O0,@0 annually.
Recognizing the fact that all the great
trusts should contribute something TO the
Federal burden and that the oil trust and
the sugar trust were alone being taxed, We
wanted to perfect this tax by reducing the
percentage and extending it to all indus
trial corporations whose gross receipts eN-
ceeded S.Oc0. 600 annually.
We sought in this connection 10 com
pei publicity through public sworn STAKE
ments as TO the capital. etc. of these in
dustrial corporations, thus securing the
very publicity for which Mr.. Roosevelt
contended. But the Republicans stood to-
gether and repealed the tax altogether. SO
that these corporations contribute nothing
to the Federal treasury and an opportunity
for t~rust-regulating legislation attempted
by the Democrats was defeated ny the Re-
publican party"
