BILL FULL OF wooDcHUcKs.

The unanimous vote of 245 to proves that the
Ltteheld trust buster" bill had trust opposition
and the administration organs and correspondents
already busy inventng disclaimer of administration
responsibility
The Minneapolis Journal correspondents theory is
that the bill unconstitutional indeed as full of holes
sieve"
The correspondent goes on to state that both the
president and the attorney general share in this belief
although until last Saturdays the bill adver
t1sed administration 1t is admitted that
the president and attorney general participated in draft
ing It, the latter having given six weeks time to its
phraseoogy But it is now claimed that Mr.. 14ttefeld
the nominal author, satisfied with the Roose
veltKnox phraseoogy and substituted Of his
he having aspirations a "trust-buser" his

Whatever the cause of the bills supposed sieve-ke
condition, it is admitted that it is "out of the
question for the senate to pass that bill"
One thing is certain that, although the Democrats
voted for it to give the majority chance pass
kind Of antitrust legislation they responsible
for its phraseoogy for its provisions. Every Demo
cratic provision proposed defeated
The Democrats proposed that the publicity feature

down
The Democrats provided that nothing in the bill
should be interpreted destroy the jurisdiction of the
states over trusts; and that was ignored
The Democrats proposed to forbid trusts guilty of
violation of law the of the mails and of
carriers and the Republicans would hear of that
The Democrats proposed that trust-controled
goods, at the option of the president should be trans
ferred to the free list and be deprived of government
protection; and the Republican high tariff apostles
stirred to the bottom at the idea.
1t is now interesting news, that after all the trust

into the hereafter organized" farce known as the Lit

DEMING PRESENTS PLAN.
New House Bill Provides for Subnis-
sion of Local Pronositions.


bill for separate constitutional
proposition ballots, designed to correct
the faults of the Haugland bill, was in
troduced in the house yesterday by
representative p. c. Deming, Henne-
pin.
The Deming bill provides for a sep
arate constitutional proposition ballot,
printed on yellow paper, to be voted in
special ballot box, painted yellow
The propositions are to be plainly des-
1gnated. state questions to be voted
Tor The ticket will be marked to
snow how many propositions are to be
voted, and the judges are required to
call special attention to the yellow bal
lot and explain the propositions, but
are IN no way to express a preference
calculated to influence the action of the
voter
The Haugland bill wiped out the
present law for submitting local ques-
tons, such as county divisions, bonds.
city charter, etc. The Deming bill pro-
V1des that such propositions shall be
printed at the head of the red or blue
ticket, as the case may be, and marked
In the manner provided for state oues-
lions.
The bill is very similar to the Kansas
amendment proposition law, save that
1t provides that propositions touching
the railroads gross earnings tax shall
nave first place on the state ticket

TO TRUST THE PRESIDENT.

The Democratic minority in congress proposed an
amendment to antitrust legislation in the shape of
proposition cothe the president with power
pend duties trust-made articles whenever necessary
to protect the public; but the Republican majority would
not permit the revision of the tariff law to that
extent.
Judge De Almond the Missouri leader of lower
house Democrats said to the Republican majority:
do you prefer to trust the rather than your
PRESIDENT"
And the Republican side offered no answer. They
had adequate If they had answered truthfuy
they would have answered: "Yes that is about the
situation"
The Democrats were willing to put the proposition
of removing tariff protection from in the most
favorable shape for Republican acceptance They were
willing to give the president full power in the premises
the power both to determine what articles are made
and controlled by trusts and determine when public
necessity required government Intervention and the
list They trusted the matter to his discretion absolute
y, and still the Republicans refused accept the pro-
vision
President Roosevets opposition removal Of tariff
protection from the trusts, stated by him during the
recent campaign the ground that small industries
competing with the trusts might suffer But the present
Democratic proposition entirely and obviates that
objection, because it places the power determine pub
lie necessity and the discretion to entirely in the
presidents hands, whereby danger to small industries
or to any other innocent interests could be avoided
The Democratic proposition clothe the president
with power to place trusade articles the free list
when public good requires removes the last and only
serious argument that Republican Directors have pre-
scented If the presidents discretion and executive action
can be trusted there cannot possibly be any danger
III the provision That it would deprive the trusts of the
to charge American consumers 50 per cent higher
prices than consumers abroad must be admitted That
1t would give the government a powerful leverage in
forcing the worst offenders come to time will
be admitted.
With these admissions there is but one conclusion
to be drawn from Republican opposition to the provis-
ion namely, that Republican management its anxiety
to stand by the interests of the tariff benecares prefers
to trust the rather than trust the president
