GOVERNOR GLENN
IS SAT|SF led
Says Work of Recent Legislature
Was Excellent in Every
Respect.
---------
PASSED MANY GOOD LAWS
His Excellency Wants Trust Law
Passed That Will Not lnjure
Honest Enterprise.
PASSED MANY GOOD LAWS

RALEIGH, N c., March Hoover
nor Glenn, in a statement just Issued.
declares that in his opinion, the recent
Legislature was composed of patriotic
men, who earnestly desired to do their
duty as they saw 1t, and that when ali
their acts are carefully considered 1t
will be seen that no Legislature In
many years has come nearer to keep
ing pledges to the people, The pledges
as to the care of the insane, reduction
of passenger and freight rates, enlarg-
ing the powers OF the Corporation Com
mission, increased pensions for Con-
fcderate soldiers, advanced education
and antitrust legislation, were all
kept, and many good laws that wero
not required by pledge were passed.
The Governor says he believes the
antitrust law Is good one, and will
afford great protection. Although he
believes a mistake was made in not
including n provision for the prohibit
ton of unlawful agreements to lower
prices of articles the trusts desire to
buy, end that to this extent the farm
! ers were not given the protection they
needed. However, after studying the
act carefully. he Is of opinion that with
the aid of the common law and tho
Holt supplemental act all such viola
tons OF the law can be indicted
and he asks that any and all such
| Will be brought to his attention
and the attention of the solicitors in
the districts, in order that the parties
to such unlawful agreements can be
punished.
| The Governor says his idea of an
antitrust law is one that will in no
way injure or cripple any person or
corporation doing Legitimate busI-
| ness but that will reach every one
that is making agreements to the
! injury of trade
! me Governor says he Is very much
IN hopes the railroad companies will
not resist the enforcement of the pas
| senger and Might reduction acts
passed, or at least that they will give
them fair trial before setting IN INV
objection. Then, If they are really
1 injured the people OF North Carolina
are just, and would grant relief. He
i says II there is resistance to the opera
ton of the acts, then he, as Governor,
VIII be comrsoed to employ counsel
and long suit will result, in which
all the matters Of salaries of oficials,
and expense OF every description viii
have to come out in court, for the
rates could not be shown to be too
low II the salaries and other expenses
INDUCED in are exorbitant He there
fore hopes that sound and better judg.
ment will be allowed to prevail. and
that litigation now talked of will he

The Governor Is emphatic In his
insistence that, In spite OF criticisms
passed on every hand, time will demon
strate that the laws passed were
. wisely and we'll conceived.
