President Mellen of the Hartford
and New Haven Railroad. recently
president of the Northern Pacific, said
in an address a few weeks ago before
the Hartford board of trade:
To my mind the day is gone by
when q corporation can be handled
successfully in defiance of the public
will, even though that will be unreal
sonable and wrong. The public may
be led but not driven, and l prefer to
go with it and shape or modify in
measure its opinion rather than be
swept from my bearings with loss to
myself and to the interests in my
charge. A violent prejudice exists to-
ward corporate activity and capital
today. Much of it is founded in rea-
rson more of it in apprehension In
large measure it is due to the personal
traits of arbitrary unrea sonable. in
competent and offensive men in posi-
tons of authority
The accomplishment of results by
indirection: the endeavor to thwart

or by main strength or by inactivity
a result not justified and depending
upon the Indifference of a claimant
and III indisposition to become involV-
ed in litigation-has created seni-
ment harmful in the extreme. 1t has
given rise to "A disposition to consider
anything fair that gives gain to the
individual at the expense of the cor
poration.'
The railroad lobby and its claQuers
in this state might do we'll to heed the
advice of President Melleu. Continued
insolent defiance. of the will Of the peO-
pie may Yet arouse the blind Sampson
to grasp the pillars that support the
present economic system and tOpple 1t
all over to make way for Il system OF
government ownership and control.
That is what President Mellen pre-
dicted would be the outcome of an
arrogant and arbitrary course on the
part of the public service corporations
and he urged the widest publicity of
the business affairs of the railroads

the Surest way to prevent the SubVer
sion of the present system of private

THE FORAKER BILL.
Long live Japan!

So much has been said about the
while to state just what it is. The
bill was introduced in the senate by
Senator Foraker of Ohio and has the
purpose of permitting reasonable re-
straint' of trade. The Sherman anti
trust law and the interstate commerce
law forbid all restrain of trade by COM
bina tons or agreements. Hence. the
effect of the Foraker bill, if adopted
would be to undo all national anti
trust legislation. Here is the text OF
the bill:
TO relieve foreign commerce and
acts and contracts in reasonable
restraint of trade and commerce
among the several states from
the provisions of the act to regu-
late commerce, approved Feb. 4,
1887, and the act to protect trade
and commerce against unlawful
restraints and monopolies, approved
July ,. 1890.
That nothing i'll the act to reg
ulate commerce. approved Feb. +,
1887. or in the act to protect trade
and commerce against unlawful
restraints and monopolies, APP
proved July ,. 1890, or in any act
amendatOry of either of said acts,
shall prohibit any act or any con-
tract in restraint of trade or COM
merce among the several states.
provided that such restraint be
reasonable. or shall hereafter au
thorize Imprisonment or forfeiture
of property as punishment for any
violation of such acts. except for
perjury or contempt of court.
1t will be noticed that this bill per
mits any kind of Il combination in re-
straint of foreign trade. Thus. so far
AS that trade is concerned. the two
great anti-monopoly measures of the
national statutes are completely re-
pealed. This feature of the bill was
very likely suggested by the Hill and
other great railway interests ana some
of the trusts especially interested in
the conquest Of foreign trade. In Il
recent speech in Minneapolis. Mr. Hill
declared that the restraints imposed
on foreign commerce by certain pro-
visions of the interstate commerce
law seriously interfere with the
development Of American foreign
trade.
Aside from this. the bill represents
railway interests which fear an ad-
Verse decision by the supreme court
in the Northern Securities case. If
that combination is declared illegal.
there are others that will have to go.
Though there may be excellent reason
for permitting combinations or con-
tracts in reasonable restraint of
trade. this is hardly an appropriat e
time for bringing in permissive lesis-
lation When the trusts are licked into
submission to law, it will be time
eniugh to think about giving them q
little rope. They haven't given much
evidence of a submissive spirit as yet.
