TRUST Leo,sLATIoN.

The recent decision OF the United
States supreme court concerning the
Illinois trust act, Is good law. While
many OF us desire the exemption OF
certain commodities from the work
ings OF an antitrust law. we must
agree that the law Is for all and that
iieah for one and fish Tor another Will
not stand the test The Illinois act
was against all combinations. but ex.
cmpted the farmers, allowing them.
II they NO desired to combine. The
court held the act unconstitutional
on this ground--thst there can be no
exceptions and that an act OF this
character must apply 10 all classes
and conditions OF trade. The trainers
Of antitrust acts should be smart
enough 70 know that the fundamental
principle Is equity and that TO be
binding no exceptions can be- made In
such measures. Just why the clause
was inserted In the Illinois measure
we cannot understand as the poor
farmers are not combining II would
only be the rich who could afford TO
hold their products. who would beBe
ht by the exemption clause. II is
said the decision virtually annnls the
antitrust laws In thirteen states ss
similar exemptions appear In all OF
