ANTITRUST LAWS
ARE WRITTEN BY THE TRUSTS
SAYS BYRON W. HOLT
In "Ths Public" He Quotes a Chicago Dis.
patch in the New York Journal of Com.
merce as Proof. Elkins Bill Prepared bv
Trust Masnates.

That the republican party, the legisla.
tive tool of the trusts, would in no way
injure the trusts is self-evident 10 all
right-minded men. That the so.called
antitrust" bills which the republicans
permitted to become Tvs last winter a, e
not bills to in any way cub the trusts
and benefit the people, is also self.evident
to any man who has carefully read the
bills. Nothing in the party record and
nothing in the bills, except the titles,
forbodes evil to the trusts. 1t will, there
fore, surprise but few to learn that the
real authors OF the bills were the trusts
themselves--the very ones THAT tried to
further hooawink the people by sending
kilograms to senators ordering them not
to pass these "aEti-trust' bills. The
facts in regard to the "Nelson amend
ment' ANTITRUST" bill have not yet
leaked out, but the New YORK Journal OF
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin Of
March E5 contains the story of the
authorship of the Elkins anti.rebate
bill. 1t is rs follows:
"Chicago, March 25.-During the prog.
ress OF meeting of western railway ex,
ecut;ve officials today to discuss the
E 'kins law, it was stated that A. j. Cas-
sett, president of the Pennsylvania; Paul
Morton, second vice president of the
Sante Fe, and +. d. Kenna, first vice
president and general counsel OF the
same road, are authors Of the bill.
'It is stated that the first draft OF the
bill was made by Mr.. Kenna and EN-
bodiesitbe IDEAS OF the three men named.
This drafts Us submitted to the presi-
deaf, the attorney general and the chair
man OF the interstate commerce commits
sion, and subsequently was amended As
finally introduced. however, the bill was
essentially the bill prepared from the sug
gestions made by Alessrs Cassrtt, Morton
and Kenna, after repeated conferences at
the executive mansion.
"Mr. Morton said t,day: Il believe
that the act will secure the maintenance
OF the freight and passenger rates, and
this will be of inestimable benefit to the
entire country, to the railroads, to ship
pers and to consumers
In view OF these facts will the republi
cans continue to call the Elkins an
ANTITRUST" bill? Do they imagine that
the people are such everlasting chumps
that they will believe that the trusts are
going to cut off their own heads, with a
weapon which they themselves forgeo
for that purpose? Mr.. Morton says that
the Elkins bill Will benefit the railroads
His statement that it will also benefit
shippers and consumers is a gratuitous
insult to our intelligence. The railroads
can be benefited only by increased freigh,
rates and these must be paid by shippers
and consumers. The railroads will get
the benefit and the people will pay tile
freight. It's clear case of "heads l
win and tails you lose." The people
can't beat such a game as long as they
let the trust sharks and the republican
political mountebanks shuttle the carde
and hold the stakes.

The interest that the little folks take
10 the annual visit 20 this city of Gentry
Bros. famous shows can be thoroughly
appreciated in the relating of an incident
that happened at class in school in. q
small town in the West. At the end Of q
morning discourse on topics of the day,
the teacher Informed tho scholars that
they could ask any question they wanted
to, concerning any important public event
and she would answer it TO the best OF
her knowledge. After several had in
quired the cost Of Brooklyn Bridge, and
the details Of the Seven Wonders Of tho
world. one little hand wont up in the mir
to attract the teachers attention. and
when it came her time, she said. '.Please
Mama, if you know everything can you
tell US when the Dog Show is coming?"
This form ofinquiry will be unnecessary
in this city as Gentry Bros. date has def
nitcly been fixed for Friday April 10.
