 Law Good Enough.
 The republican platform says that ex- perience has shown that the effectiveness of the antitrust law could be strength ened by amendments which will give the federal government greater supervision and control over, and greater publicity as to. the management of those interstate commerce corporations which have the power and opportunity to affect monopo- lies. That is all. No pointing out of remedies no outlining of plan for more effective egisation-simply general statement that promises nothing in par ticular And MT. Tafts speech of &C., ceptanee Is even weaker than the plat form. He gives no evidence of having studied the question or of comprehending the iniquities of a monopoly. You look in vain in his notification speech for any sign of indignaton at what the trusts have been doing or for evidence of zeal in their prosecution. He has, for several years, been the intimate official com panion of the President. but he has caught none of the fire which the Presi- dent manifested in his message of last January.
 If. in the presence of an aroused peo- ple. and in the heat of a campaign, the republican party contents itself with colorless platform on this subject, what can we expect in the way of activity when the exigencies of the campaign are passed? If. when MT. Taft is appealing to the Roosevelt republicans, his discus sion of the subject Is so lifeless and his manner so apologetic and apathetic, what reason have we to expect either yigor in the enforcement of the law or earnest ness in the search for additional rem- edies?
 Tn his speech delivered about a year ago announcing his candidacy, MT. Taft suggested that the present law be so amended as to permit reasonable re- straint of trade. Such an amendment would be as absurd as an amendment to the law against burglary limiting the law to cases in which more than two bur- glars entered the houCe at one time or took more than half they found. In his notification speech he suggests natienal interpretations remedy which would mnake conditions worse because, without adding to the power of Congress to pre- vent monopoies, 1t would deprive the states of the power to protect their own people.
 Striking Contrast.
 Now, let me contrast the democratic platform with the republican platform. Nowhere is the difference In the temper of the parties more noticeable; nowhere is the difference in the method of dealing with questions more manifest. Our plat form says:
 "A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable. We therefore favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal law

 Corporation Control.

OOFDOTdklOn OOHhlOis
 Fifty per cent is fixed as the maximum limit. When a corporation controls oO per cent of the total product, 1t supplies 40. .00O,O0 people with that product. Is that not enough2 MT. Taft's objection to this limitation can hardly be characterized as statesmanlike. He says:
 "A corporation controlling 45 or 50 per cent of the product may by well known methods frequently effect a monopoly and stamp out competition in a part of country as completely as if 1t controlled 60 or 70 per cent thereof"
 Why, then, does he not propose a lower limit? If the control of 45 per cent may constitute a monopoly, why does he not suggest that as a maximum? It can not be because of any disinclination to amend his platform, for he has already made a patchwork quilt of the conventions plat form by promiscuous amendments.
 And to what well known methods does he refer? To the underselling of competitors in one section while the price is maintained elsewhere? And yet this is the very thing which we propose to remedy, but he proceeds to denounce our remedy as absurd and socialistio. The trouble with Secretary Taft is that he spends so much time trying to discover excuses for inaction in trust matters that he has none left for the consideration Of effective remedies. He spends more time uttering warnings against remedies pro- posed than he does in pointing out the evils to be remedied or in suggesting rem edies. He says:
 ''The combination of capital in large plants to manufacture goods with the greatest economy is just as necessary as the assembling of the parts Of a ma chine to the economical and more rapid manufacture of what In old times was made by hand"
 And he adds that:
 "rhe government should not interfere with one any more than the other, when such aggregations of capital are legiti- mate and are properly controlled, for they are the natural results of modern enterprise and are beneficial to the puh- ite.''
 No one proposes to interfere with pro- duction on a large scale. No one op- tects to production on a scale sufficiently large to enable the producer to utilize by-products and take advantage Of all the economies that large production makes possible. It is just here that the trust magnates attempt to confuse the public mind, and Mir Taft has uncon- sciously adopted their language.
 Let the issue be made plain; let the distinction be accurately drawn; let the respective position of the parties be fully understood. The democratic party does not oppose all corporations; on the con- trary. it recognizes that the corporation can render an important service to the public. The democratic party wants to employ every instrumentality that can be employed for the advancement of the common good; but the democratic party draws the line at the private monopoly, and declares that a private monopoly l cannot be justified on either economic | or political grounds.

he entirely fails to comprehend the oe- tails of the plan. He says:
 ITO supervise the business of corpora tions in such a way as to fix the prlee of commodities and compel the sale ae such price is as absurd and socialistic plank as was ever inserted in demo- cratic political platform
 And yet this sentence is found in the same paragraph with the sentence above quoted in which he declares that II Is even now a violation of the sherman antitrust law for a corporation to at- tempt to destroy a competitor by selllhs at a low and unprotitable price where II has competition, and at an eXoroltaht price where it has no competition Tn what respect Is our plan more socialistic than the plan which MT. Taft indorses? Merely in the fact that ours can be en- forced According to Mir. Tatts loglc' d plan is not socialistic which IS not el- fective, but the same would be soclallstlc it made effective. Why should corpo- ration supply 20,000000 people-tor a cor poration controlling p per cent Of the total product supplies one-fourth, or more of our population-should such corpora tion be permitted to sell at one price Tn one part of the country and at another price in another part2 What reason can a corporation have for such discrlmlna- tion? Prices are not made as matter of favor; when a big corporation sels 'o the people of one section at one price and the people of another section at another price-the cost of transportation being taken into consideration-there is a req son for 1t, and in almost every case the reason is to be found in the effort to de- stroy a competitor. One of the most Ia miliar methods of the trust is to under sell small competitor in the small com petitors territory-the price being maln- tained elsewhere-until the small com petitor is driven to bankruptcy and then the price is raised That has been done over and over again. It is open and mo- torious; and yet, with the republican party in complete power at Washington, what effort has been made to prevent this? This remedy, although vehemently denounced by MT. Taft, will appeal to the aVrrage man as not only very salutary, but very necessary.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-26
Taft's Criticism.

The license, however. would not prevent the growth of the corporations licensed. It would simply bring them under the eye of the federal government and com pei them to deal with the public in such a way as to afford the public the protec- tion necessary. One of the restrictions suggested is that such licensed corpora tions be compelled to sell to all purchas- CTS In all parts of the. country on the same terms after making due allowance for cost of transportation. MT. Taft at- tacks this restriction as utterly imprac- tcable" He says: If it can be shown that in order to drive out competition, corporation owning a large part of the plant producing an article is selling in one part of the country where it has competitors, at a low and unprof1table price, and in another part of the coun- try, where 1t has none, at an exorbitant price, this is evidence that it is attempt ing an unlawful monopoly and tustifies conviction under the antitrust law"
 If such an act is now unlawful, why is he so frightened at a plan which gives to the small competitor this very protec- tion? The trouble with the present law is that it does not restrain the evils at which it is aimed. The plan proposed in the democratic platform brings the cor poration under the surveillance of the government when it has reached the dan ger point, and thereafter subjects 1t to federal scrutiny. The present law simply prohibits 1t in an indefinite sort of way, and then leaves the officers of the law to SCOUT the country and hunt up viola tions of the laws provisions. MT. Taft is unduly alarmed at this proposal, or else
