ANTITRUST LEGISLATION DEMANDED.

There stir among the dry leaves when President
Roosevelt brought his foot down and announced that
there would be either antitrust legislation extra
term congress This is also the demand of the people
So it is evident something will have to be DONE for
Roosevelt was never known to back water There was
sensational stir later when it was known that
Rockefeller had been sending kilograms United States
senators notifying that he desired antitrust
legislation With the demand the president backed by
unanimous demand of the people it would seem that
congress dare adjourn before having passed
more of the many measures by members for
its consideration Any antitrust bill to hold water must
be amply supported by provision for pubicythat is
the compelled make certified statements
from time to time of its transactions This is amply
secured in the Hoar bill
further guarantee is secured by the Elkins bill,
which provides penalties against public carriers
who carry freight at parties than
published the corporation 1t is called the
anti-rebate bill.
One would naturally suppose that bill compre-
hensive and searching the Hoar bill, buttressed by
such guarantee of publicity and further braced by the
Elkns anti-rebate bill, might prove effective.
But although the Hoar antitrust bill has carried the
and the Elkns antrebate bill passed
without debate it is well to recoect that this is only
the senate. The anti trust bills must go the
house, which seems to be unaterably attached the
Littlefed bill The probability is that the house will
pass BILL too and there the matter is likely rest
be lost in the confusion of debate.
The Hoar bill has been prepared with great care and
well buttressed by provisions for publicity and leakages
through rebates. There have. in fact been many
twentyseven distinct bills of late before congress
The for this big game interesting per-
sisten but still it is doubtful in the begin
ming whether Will pass antitrust bill at this
session.

The state only developing, but radically
changing along all lines politically ndusraly and judi

pal governments which have grown to be complex ana
expensive which would give the courts frmer grounds
upon which to base decisions would give the legis
1ature mower to properly control the multiplicity of
poratons valuable franchises which have come into
existence since the old constitution framed and so
on Why legislature has not acted is due to the fear
of political machines which being live organizations are
ever ready to act promptly and effectively Among these
machines opposed to a constitution, from the fear
that the prohibition clause might omitted the tenn
