KNOX ON MONoPoLiEs
Attorney General Sends Message to
Congressional Com mittee.

Attorney Geueral sends message 10
Congressional Com mittee.
Attorney General Knox submitted o
communication to the subcommittee OF
the House committee on judiciary which
is endeavorins to formulate measure
to regulate trusts. This communication
Is in reply to request of Chairman Lit
tlefield.
1t deals exhaustively with the subject,
going into it at greater length even than
the Attorney Generals recent Pittsburg
speech. Attorney General KnOX's an
swer is under three heads, namely: The
questions which have been decided by
the courts, the questions which are pend
ing in the courts, and suggestions respect
ing further legislation. In introducing
his recommendations he says:
''The end desired by the overwhelm-
ing majority of the people of all sections
of the country is that combinations of
capital should be regulated and not de-
stroyed and that measures should be rak-
en- to correct the tendency toward monop-
olization of the Industrial business of the
country. l assume thing to be avoid
ed, even by suggestion, is legislation reg
ulatinS the business interests of the coun-
try beyond such as will accomplish this
end.
I'm my judgment, a monopoly In any
industry would be impossible in this
country where money is abundant and
cheap and in the hands or within the
reach of keen and capable men, if COM
petition were assured of a fair and open
field and protected against unfair and
artificial and incriminating practices.
If the law will guarantee to the small
producer protection against piratical
methods in competition and keep the
highways to the markets open and avail
able TO him for the same tolls charged
to his powerful competitors he will man
age to live and thrive to an astonishing
degree"
Coming down to the suggestions asked
for and desired by the committee he
says:
first step in a policy IL be persistently
pursued until every industry, large and
small, in the country can be assured of
equal rights and opportunities and until
the tendency to monopolization Of the
important industries of the country is
checked, that all discriminatory practices
affecting interstate trade be made Of
fenses TO be cnjoined and punished.
Such legislation should be directed
against those who give and those who
receive the advantages thereof and cover
in prices as against COM
petitors in particular localities resorted
10 for the purpose of destroying compe-
tition in interstate and foreign trade, as
well as discrimination by carriers.
Such legislation to certainly reach
producers guilty of practices injurious to
national and international commerce
should, in my judgment, take the form
If penalizing the transportation of the
FOODS produced by the guilty parties and
he federal courts should be given power
o restrain such transportation at the
Iuit of government"

the year 1902. Wheat was, as usual, the
leader and the selling price had wide
fluctuation, the lowest point touched for
the year being GSA cents in August and
the highest being 80 cents in September,
while the extremes in 1901 were oS4s
and 79h cents. There was good deal
of bull feeling during the year under
review on the reported poorer crop in this
country and the world over-in quality
only-the strong feeling in stocks and
the general prosperity. and it was ar
gued that the higher prices in securities
should be reflected in wheat. This, now
ever, did not fully materialize. The ex-
ports were smaller than those Of the pre-
vious year. Corn ruled firm throushout
the year and prices averaged higher. This
was due largely to the small crop gather
ed in 1901. The crop in 1901 was nearly
750.00O,0O0 less than that of the year
before, or 1922, 10000 bushels. as COM
