The Merger Case, as Viewed by Man In
the Street.
r. r. Dick wired as follows this morn
Ing to Whallon, Minneapolis: 1.-THE North
ern Securities case is going to be decided
against the company, and in favor of the
government Broad general legislation
usually requires construction by the
courts. The whole tendency of the ju-
dietary now is to construe the laws, placed
before 1T not strictly according to commas
and semlcolons, but in the spirit in which
they We're adopted. Why fool ourselves?
The Northern Securities company was
formed that competition in the immense
territory covered by the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and allied railroad corpor-
atlons should be controlled Mr.. Hill
knows IT, Mr.. Morgan knows it and Mr..
roosevelt knows it, The judiciary knows
that the principle involved is contrary to
the will of the people who elect their SER
wants TO put the laws into legal shape. I
DO not advocate the law nor approve it,
put the law exists making it a wrong to
loii.i d complnatlon to restrict trade as
contrary to the law Of supply and demand.
Then why think that the supreme court
presumably honest, will take 4 position
suggested by the casuistry of able coun-
sci, With large reta iners, employed by the
corporations to decide against the real
purpose Of the will Of the people? The
Northern Securities company was formed
TO insure profits to the holders of North
ern Pacific and Great Northern stocks
The power to do this is given by the con-
solldation and if bad times should come
they can exact tariffs which, with free
competition. would be Impossible Since
the mere er was effected we have had good
times and a wholesome fear of legal or.
legislative attack, but the fundamental
principle exists. A corporation has been
formed to restrict freedom of trade. with
the power to enforce it. Ergo. the neces-
slty existing, the corporation will at once
perform the function for which it was
created. or it will become an elemosinary
institution founded by the corporations of
industry, pro bono publico''
