Compulsory Sale of Products at Fix
 cd Price Impractical.

The proposal to compel every cor poration to sell It's commodities at the same price the country over, allowing for transportation, is utterly imprac- ticable. If 1t can be shown that in order to drive out competition, cor poration owning large part of the plant producing an article Is selling in one part of the country where 1t has competitors, at a low and unprof- table price, and in another part of the country, where t has nonc, at an exorbitant price this Is evidence that It is attempting an unlawful monopo- ly, and iustiies conviction under the antitrust law; but the proposal to SUI pervise the business of corporations In such a way as to fix the price of commodities and compel the sale at such price Is as absurd and sociallstic plank as was ever inserted in a democratic political patform

Physical Valuation Property Used Wlll
 Not Generally Impair Securities.

l am confident that the fixing of rates on the principles suggested above would not materially impair the present market values of railroad se- curities in most cases. for 1 believe that the normal increase in the value of railroad properties, especially in their terminals, will more than make up for the possible overcapltallzation In earlier years. In some cases, doubt less, 1t will be found that overcaptali- zation Is made an excuse for excessive rates. and then they should be re- duced; but the consensus of opinion seems to be that the railroad rates generally in this country are reason ably low. This Is why, doubtless, the complaints filed with the interstate commerce commission against exces- sive rates are so few as compared with those against unlawful dlscrimn- alton in rates between shippers and between places. of course In the de- termination of the question whether discrimination is unlawful or not. the physical valuation of the whole road Is of little weight

Small Number of Cases Furnishing Grounds for Complaint in
 Federal Court.

The number of instances in which re- strainng orders without notice in in- dustrial disputes have issued by fed- eral courts is small, and it is urged that they do not therefore constitute an evil to be remedied by statutory amendment. The small number of cases complained of above shows the careful manner in which most federal judges

Conclusion That There Should he
 Physical Valuation.

l have discussed this with some degree of detail merely to point out that the valuation by the Interstate commerce commission of the tangible property of a railroad is proper and may from time to time be necessary In settling certain issues which may come before them, and that no evil or injustice can come from valuation in such cases, if 1t be understood that the result Is to be used for n just pur- pose. and the right to fair profit under all the circumstances of the in- vestment Is recognized. The Inter state commerce commission has now the power to ascertain the value of the physical railroad property, If necessary, in determlng the reason ableness of rates. IT the machinery for doing so is not adequate, as is probable. it should be made so.
 The republican platform recom- mends legislation forbidding the Issue In the future of interstate railway stocks and bonds without federal au- thority. It may occur in such cases that the full value of the railway, and
 as an element thereof, the value of the tangible property of the railway, would he relevant and important factor in assisting the proper author ity to determine whether the stocks and bonds to be issued were to have l proper security behind them, and in such case. therefore there should be the right and machinery to make a valuation of the physical property.

Another suggestion In respect to subordinate and ancillary machinery necessary to carry out republican poll cies os that of the incorporation under national law or the licensing by ma % tional license or enforced registry of companies engaged in interstate trade. The fact ia that nearly all corpora tions doing commercial business are engaged in interstate commerce, and if they all were required to take out a federal license or federal charter. the burden upon the interstate busl- ness of the country would become In tolerahle.

decision of the tribunal engaged in determining whether the totalty of rates charged Is reasonable or eXces- sive, To ignore them might so scri- ously and unjustly impair settled Val- ues as to destroy all hope of restoring confidence and forever to end the in- -ducement for investment in new ral- road construction which, in returning prosperous times. is sure to he es- sential to our material progress, Az MT. Roosevelt has said in speaking of ths very subject
 "The effect of such valuation and supervision Of securities cannot be re- troactlve, Existing securities should be tested by laws In existence at the time of their issue, This nation would no more injure securities which have become an important part of the na- tlonal wealth than It would consider a proposition to repndiate the national debt"
 The question of rates and tho treat ment of railways Is one that has two sides. The shippers are certainly en- titled to reasonable rates: but less is an injustice to the carriers. Good business for the railroads Is essential to general prosperity. Injustice 10 them Is not alone injustice to stock holders and capitalists, whose further investments may be necessary for the good of the whole country. but 1t d. rectly affects and reduces the wnvaa of railway employees and indeed may deprive them of their places entirely
 From what has been said, the prop CT conclusion would seem to be that In attempting to determine whether the entire schedule of rates of q rall- way Is excessive. the physical valua- ton of the road Is relevant and im- portant but not necessarily a con trolling factor.

 Construction Of Antitrust faw--Pos-
 sible Necessity for Amendment.
 The possible operation of the anti trust law under existing rulings of the supreme court has given rise to sug eestlons for It's necessary amendment to prevent Its application to cases which it Is believed were never in the contemplation of the framers of the statute Take two instances. "A mer- chant or manufacturer engaged in q legitimate business that covers certain states, wishes 10 sell his business and hl good will, and so in the terms Of the sale oblgates himself to inc pur- chaser not to go Into The same busl- ness In those states Such restraint of trade has always been enforced at common law, Again, the employees of an Interstate railway combine and en- ter upon peaceable and lawful strike to secure better wages, Al common law this was not a restraint of trade or commerce or a violation of the rights of the company or of the pub He, Neither case ought to be made violation of the antitrust law. My own impression Is that the supreme court would hold that neither of these instances are within It's inhibition, but If they are to he so regarded general Legislation amending the law Is necessary.

Democratic Plank to Limit Corpora lions to Ownership of 30 Per Cent. of Plant and Product
 EauIty

The suggestion of the democratic platform that trusts be ended by for bidding corporations to hold more than 50 per cent of the plant in any line of manufacture Is made without regard to the possibility of enforce ment or the real evil in trusts A cor poration controlling i5 or 30 per cent. of the products may by well known methods frequently effect monopo- ly and stamp out competition in a part of the country as completely as If 1t controlled so or 70 per cent thereof.

Advantage of Union.

To give to employees their proper po- sition in such controversy, to enable them to maintain themselves against employers having great capital, they may we'll unite. because in union there Is strength and without 1t each individ- ual laborer and employe would be helpless. The promotion of industrial peace through the instrumentality of the trade agreement Is often one of the results of such union when intelligently conducted.

Physical Valuation of Railways.

hi Nt' n' VI pNuiiNuNss
 Some of the suggestions of the dem ocratic platform relate really to this subordinate and ancillary machinery to which l have referred Take for instance the so-called physical valua- ton of railways" IL is clear that the sum of all rates or receipts of a rail- way. less proper expenses, should be limited to a fair profit upon the rea- sonable value of it's property, and that if the sum exceeds this measure. 1t ought to he reduced. The difficulty in enforcing the principle is in ascertain ing what is the reasonable value of the company's property and in fixing a fair profit. It is clear that the physi- cal value of a railroad and it's plant is an element to be given weight in de- termining It's full value; but as Presi. dent Roosevelt in his Indianapolis speech and the supreme court have in effect pointed out, the value of the railroad as q going concern. including it's good will, due to efficiency of ser vice and many other circumstances, may be much greater than the value of It's tangible property and 1t Is the former that measures the investment on which fair profit must be allowed. Then, too the question what is a fair profit is one involving not only the rate of interest usually earned on nor mally safe investments, but also suf- hcient allowance to make up for the risk of loss both of capital and ln- terest in the original outlay These considerations will have justified the company in imposing charges high enough to secure a fair income on the enterprise as a whole The securities at market prices will have passed into the hands of subsequent purchasers from the original investors. Such cir cumstances should properly affect the

The interests of the employer and the employe never differ except when 1t comes to. division of the joint profit of labor and capital into dividends and wages. This must be constant source of periodical discussion between the employer and the employe, as indeed are the other terms of the employment.

Mir, Roosevclt's Proposed Classification

The democratic platform suggests a requirement. that corporations in interstate trade having control of 25 per cent of the products in which they deal shall take out federal license. This classification would probably include great many small corporations engaged in the manufac- ture of special articles, or commodi- ties whose total value is so inconsid- erable that they are not really within the purvieW or real evil of the anti trust law
 It is not now necessary, however to discuss the relative merit of such propositions, but 1t is enough merely to affirm the necessity for some meth cd by which greater executive super vision can be given to the federal government over those businesses in

Necessity for Revision of Tariff.

The consequent material development has greatly changed the conditions un- der which many articles described by the schedules of the tariff are now pro- duced The tariff in number of the schedules exceeds the difference be- tween the cost of production of such articles abroad and at home, includ- ing a reasonable profit to the Ameri- can producer. The excess over that difference serves no useful purpose, but offers a temptation to those who would monopolze the production and the sale of such articles in this country to profit by the excessive rate On the schedules in which the tariff is not suf- fciently high to give the measure of protection which they should receive upon republican principles, and as to those the tariff should be raised A revision of the tariff undertaken upon this principle, which is at the basis of our present business system, begun promptly upon the incoming of the new administration, and considered at a special session with the preliminary in- vestigations already begun by the ap- propriate committees of the house and senate, will make the disturbance of business incident to such change as little as possible.

l. use of threats or methods of physical duress against those who would work for him, or deal with him, or by carry ing on what is sometimes known as 8 secondary boycott against his custom CTS or those with whom he deals in business. All those who sympathize with them may unite to aid them in their struggle, but they may not through the instrumentality of a threatened or actual boycott compel third persons against their will and having no interest in their controver- sy to come to their assistance. These principles have for great many years been settled by the courts of this coun- try.
 Threatened unlawful injuries to bus mess. like those described above, can only be adequately remedied by an in- Junction to prevent them. The juris- diction of court of equity to enjoin in such cases arises from the character of the injury and the method of inflictng it and the fact that suit for damages officers no adequate remedy. The un- lawful injury Is not usually done by one single act, which might be ade- quately compensated for in damages by suit at law, but 1t Is the result of constantly recurring series of acts, each of which in itself might not con stitute a substantial injury or make a suit at law worth while, and all of uhirh would reoliira a p,I,Iti,lio;t,, of suits at law. Injuries of this class have since the foundation of courts of equity been prevented by injunction.
 It has been claimed that injunctions do not issue to protect anything but property rights, and that business is not a property right but such a pro- position is wholly inconsistent with all the decisions of the courts. The Stu. preme court of the United States says
