Excuse.

Austin. Texas.-The most drastic
antitrust act ever enacted in any
state goes into effect here in Texas.
II provides. in subance, that any
person who represents as agent or
sells goods made by trust OF COM
bine shall be deemed guilty OF fell
ony and, upon trial and conviction.
shall be punished by confinement In
the penitentiary for from two years
20 ten years. It's provisions apply TO
all merchants who sell trust-made
goods and all persons who may be
directly In the employ OF such con-
Germs in this state.
II Ia announced by Attorney General
r. v. Davidson and his assistant. ]. p.
Lghtfoot. that they intend to enforce
the law to the letter. The bill was
drawn by Mr.. Lightfoot. and his par
ticular object was to use II as an I'm
strument TO drive every trust and un-
lawful combination out OF Texas. 1t
is claimed that the evidence Is almost
conclusive that most Of the everyday
commodities which are handled by
the merchants throughout the state
are manufactured by trusts. The
merchant does not care TO run the
risk Of a term OF imprisonment for
selling such goods and many OF them
have already taken steps to quit
handling such articles. The law does
not recognize ignorance as an excuse.
The merchant Is required to make in.
yestigation and to assure himself
that none Of his goods is made by
trust before he handles them.
Mr.. Davidson feels certain that a
few successful prosecutions under the
law will strike terror into the hearts
OF the representatives Of every trust
doing business in Texas. and that II
will then be an easy matter to drive
Objectionable concerns out of the
state. In a communication to the leg

Davidson said that. in his opinion.
