Willmar tribune., 1908-04-29

President Roosevelt has again
found it necessary to send special
message to congress. urging needed
legislation. The special demands
this time are for some law to gov
ern the use of injunctions, and he
also suggests a national incorpora-
tion law for regulating and control
ling the great corporations. The
message was accompanied by re-
port of the finance committee of
Boston, showing the prevalence of
graft in letting contracts. The re-
port was submitted as proof OF the
statement made in regard to the
rapidly growing power Of corpora
tions. He says that the accumula-
tion Of wealth by a few is menace
to the country, and some means
should be taken to compel the few
| to deal rightfully with others. It
has taken Teddy quite a while to
realize the truth of the warnings
Of that nature issued by the popu-
lists sixteen years ago, but better
late than never.
