CONTROLLED BY TRUSTS.
Congress Owned by MOnopOlists and
Will Do Just as They
Direct.

Trust legislation is possible, but
hardly PROBABLE, at this session Of
congress. A compromise bin will pass
the house of representatives, shorn
of all that will really curb the trusts.
The bills prepared by Attorney Gen
eral Knox ana introduced in the house
of representatives by the chairman of
the judiciary committee, were found,
after onsul1ation with the republican
managers of the senate, to be too
drastic to command majority of the
votes and a compromise bill is the
result which is as harmless as suck
ing dove.
President Roosevelt, his attorney
general, the judiciary committees of
congress and the leauers of the repub-
ican party have all had hand in in
cubatlng this innocent bill. A prodi-
gious amount of work has been eXpend-
ed on it; for it is quite difficult to com
pose bill that Will read like trust
buster and yet be trust shelter.
That the bill is to be harmless to the
trusts was acknowledged by the per-
sonal organ of the administration, the
Washington Star of January 16, when
it said:
1.-Two important facts appear to-day
in the situation concerning possible
antitrust legislation; first, the legis-
lation proposed by the house will not
be drastic. Second, that there is dis
position on the part of the trust inter-
ests to accept the legislation and per-
NIT it to go through the senate, if it
is not of drastic character

ANTITRUST BILLS ENDORSED
Trust Managers Already I'm Safe En-
courage Legislation of
Certain Kind.

The following letter. found on a
street in Washington after the recent
nigh wind storm, is of interest 20 tbs
public:
PERSONAL AND INFLUENTIAL.
Ny Dear Littlefield:
I'VE have examined carefully your
last antitrust bill and have no fault
to find with it. Not only do we think
it harmless to the great trusts in which
we are interested, but it safeguards
and strengthens them. AS only cor
porations hereafter organized are re-
quired to publish facts in regard to
their financial conditions, our present
corporations will enjoy a great ad-
vantage over these new corporations,
by being a BILE to obtain these published
facts. Your bill, if it accomplishes
anything besides heading off other
legislation, will fortify the present
trusts. AS told you, however, we are
not afraid of publicity so long as we
are not deprived of the monopoly priv
ileges, which enable us to control pro-
duction and fix prices of articles of
necessity. Please do all you can to
prevent discussion of the tariff and rail-
road questions. Our rights and priv
leges in these directions must not be
disturbed
I'VE strongly approve of the Elkin's
bill, which has passed the senate. and
trust you will speed its passage
through the house. We think it will
prevent rate cutting in certain quar-
ters and thus greatly increase railroad
earnings. 1t also abolishes the Grim
inal clause of the Sherman law, which
has made some of us feel very unco ON

ment which will permit the enactment
of mild Legislation regulating the
trusts, and that if assurances can be
given that the perfected bill will be
of character SO conservative as to
for some kind of action no obstacles
will be placed in the way of the bill in
the senate"
These are extraordinary admissions
for the Star to make: First, that the
trusts will permit mild legislation;
second, that President Roosevelt will
b. satisfied with some kind of action. -
What do you think of that? The
trusts will kindly permit congress to
pass law nominally against them
selves. So here we have the fat-foot-
ed assertion by the newspaper organ
of the republican administration that
the trusts own congress and dictate
any and all laws they think desirable
or expedient. Democratic newspapers
and orators have claimed this for some
years, but IL has always been indig-
nantly denied until at last The dis
graceful truth is admitted.
But what is the matter with Presi-
dent Roosevelt that he should also
come to be satisfied with any legisla-
ton the trusts may dictate? Is the
trust-buster so anxious to be again
nominated for president that "some
kind of action" against the trusts will
now satisfy him? Democratic news
papers and speakers have always given
the president credit for honesty of
purpose, whatever his shortcomings;
but here we have his personal organ,
which is inspired from the white house.

two years ago one came on my

grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
