PRESIDENT AND STANDARD OIL.

! The first important fruits Of the Law
son articles is to be an investigation
by the Bureau Of Corporations, into the
standard oil Company. President
Roosevelt has ordered il, and if the in

The Standard Oil Company is one of
| The organizations which the antitrust
law was especially designed 70 curb.
1t is trust, in all its details, of the
sort which the statutes interdict. There
is no question in the legal mind that
! it is a conspiracy in restraint of trade.
But the company is so colossal, it has
such fabulous sums at its disposal, it
employs so many great lawyers and
owns so many courts that law has
seemed powerIess to combat it. In
State courts the Standard has never
lost anything vital, though often de-
feated in comparatively small matters.
Nationally, our Presidents, up to Roose-
veIts time, have hesitated TO touch the
corporation, a fact due, possibly, to
the lack Of such a law as that which
vested the regulations of trusts and
corporations in a special bureau. Arm
ed with this new authority, President
Roosevelt proposes to bring all the
trusts, the Standard Oil Company in
particular within the limits of the law
and keep them there.
1t will be a bitter fight, but PresI-
dent Roosevelt could perform no more
service to the people than
to make and win it. Only that coun-
try is safe which is contented; and no
country can be contented where the
opportunities for doing business are
taken from the hands of the many and
in the hands of the few.

The schools will fare very well if the
Legislature accepts the Governors
estimates. The appropriations for the
biennial period beginning in 1904 were
$671792. For the biennial period be-
ginning this year, the Governor asks
for $780, a substantial increase. The
extra money is needed. for the most
part, to make the hire worthy of the
laborer. 1t ought to be appropriated.

fact that the lumber firms here do not

Dear Sir: I am in receipt of xour
favor of the Sth inst, in regard to the
employment of Japanese in the Hack

Sir: I deem it my duty to let you
know that they are still sighting the
work on the Hilo armory job. They are
putting the purlins up with a butt
joint where you call for a 12-inch
splice. I have repeatedly called your
attention to these matters, where they
were not living up to the specifications,
and it has not as yet seemed to do any
good. and now. in the name of justice,
ask that these matters be looked
into.

HERBERT KENDALL,

P. s.-since writing the above and
looking over the specifications, I find
that they call for the purlins to be
sraced not more than 3-inch canters.
They are not following that at ALL for
they have the most of them nearly, if
not quite. 4-inch canters.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-01-02
