the Interstate Commerce Commission. and
Of the Department OF Commerce and
Labor, and said that the fear Of the
Lord and Of the law had been made TO

Mr.. Taft urged that it were better to
make the trusts obey law than to de-
stroy them. since after ali they were an
important part Of the nations remark

cratic demand for a repeal Of the tariff
which had made trusts possible by elimi-
