Mr.. JENKINS, chairman of the House
committee on judiciary, says of the anti
trust bill framed by Senator Hoar that
'the trusts have nothing to fear and the
people nothing to hope for from this
bill" And he has about struck the
nail on the head. 1t is knOwnin Wash
ington that the bill will never become a
law and the statement heretofore be-
lieved to be correct, thatit was an admin
istratioD measure is now denied and so far
as can be ascertained it embodies simply
Mr. Hoar's own views. The bill, should
il ever pass. would be found absolutely
nonefec tive, either in curbing the trusts
or in protecting the people. The federal
government could require all corpora
tons engaged in interstate commerce to
make public all the details OF their bust
ness but it could not go any further.
This publicity might be of value to the
stockbroker, but it could not injure the
trust nor be used to protect the people,
because the power to punish is entirely
absent. Mr.. Hoar had better come
back to first principles. Reduce the
tariff or takeit entirely off OF trust goods.
This would regulate the trusts.
