THE SHERMAN LAW.
Should Be Amended TO Permit Proper
Combinations In Business.

Moreover, in my judgment, there
should be additional legislation looking
to the proper control Of the great bust
ness concerns engaged in interstate
business. this control to be exercised
for their own benefit and prosperity no
less than for the protection of invest
ors and of the general public AS j
have repeatedly said in messages to
the congress and elsewhere, experience
has definitely shown not merely the
unwisdom, but the futility, of endeav-
oring to put a stop to all business COM
binations. Modern industrial condi-
| tons are such that combination is not
only necessary, but inevitable 1t Is
SO in the world of business just as it is
| SO in the world of labor, and it is as
idle to desire to put an end to all cor
porations, to all big combinations of
capital, as to desire to put an end to
combinations of labor. Corporation and
labor union alike have come to stay.
Each if properly managed is source
of good and not evil Whenever IN
either there is evil it should be prompt
" held to account, but 1t should re-
ceiye hearty encouragement SO long as
| 1t is properly managed. 1t Is profound
~ immoral to put or keep on the stat
ute books law, nominaliy in the in

puts premium upon public immoral
| ity by undertaking to forbid honest
men from doing what must be done
under modern business conditions, so
that the law itself provides that its,
own infraetion must be the condition
precedent upon business success TO
aim at the accoInpl ishment Of too
much usually means the accomplish
ment of too little and often the doing
of positive damage. In my message to
the congress q year ago, in speaking of
the antitrust laws, said So

that the institutions which failed were
institutions which were not under the
supervision and control Of the national
government. Those which We're under
national control stood the test. VI
National control of the kind above
advocated would be to the benefit OF
every well managed railway. From
the standp ONT of the public there IS
need for additional tracks, additionaI
terminals and Improvements in the
actual handling Of the railroads, and
all this as rapidly as possible. Ample,
safe and speedy transportation facili-
ties are even more necessary than l
cheap transportation. Therefore there
us need for the Investment Of money
which will provide for all these things
while at the same time securing as far
as is possible better wages and shorter
hours for their employees. Therefore,
while there must be just and reason
able regulation Of rates, we should be
the first to protest against any arbitra-
~ and unthinking movement to cut
them down without the fullest and
most careful consideration of all inter-
ests concerned and Of the actual needs
Of the situation. Only a special body
Of men, acting for the national govern
ment under authority conferred upon
it by the congress is competent to pass
judgment on such matter.
Those who fear from any reason the
extension of federal activity viii do
well to study the history not only Of
the national banking act, but Of the
pure food law, and notably the meat
inspection law recently enacted. The
pure food law was opposed so violent
" that its passage was delayed for a
decade, yet it has worked unmixed
and immediate good. The meat in
spection law was even more violently
assaiied, and the same men who now
denotlnce the attitude Of the national
government in seeking to oversee and
control the workings Of interstate COM
mon carriers and business. concerns

the great benefit the law confers upon
the public is accompanied by an equal
benefit to the reputable packing estab-
lishments. The latter are better of
under the law than they were without
it. The benefit to interstate common
carriers land business concerns from
the legislation advocate would be
equally marked. 5sss Egg$7
incidentally in the passage Of the
pure food law the action of the vari-
GUS state food and dairy commission
ers showed in striking fashion how
much good for the whole people re-
suits from the hearty cooperation Of
the federal and state officials in secur-
ing a given reform. It is primarily
to the action Of these state commits
sioners that we owe the enactment Of
this law, for they aroused the people
first to demand the enactment and en-
forcement of state laws on the subject
and then the enactment Of the federal
law, without which the state laws
We're largely ineffective, There must
be the closest cooperation between the
national and state governments in atl-
ministering these laws.

THE CURRENCY.

In my message to the congress a
year ago 1 spoke as follows of the cur
rency: AL
- especially call your attention to
the condition of our currency laws.
Ihe national bank act has ably served
a great purpose in aiding the enor-
mo- nous business development Of the
country. and within ten years there
has been an increase in circulation per
capita from S21.41 to $33.0s. For sew
eral years evidence has been accumu-
lating that additional legislation is
needed. The recurrence OF each crop
season emphasizes the defects of the
present laws. There must soon be a
revision OF them, because to leave them
as they are means to incur liability
OF business disaster. Since your body.
adjourned there has been fiuctuation
ID the interest on call money from
per cent to 30 per cent, ana the fitc-s
9 Slon was even greater during the
preceding six months. The secretary
OF the treasury had to step. in and BY
wise action put a stop to the most yio-
lent lent period Of oscillation. Even worse
IMAM such fluctuations are the advance
IN commercial rates and the uncertainty
felt IN the sufficiency of credit even at
nigh rates. All commercial interests
