The duke was frank in his likes and

PRESIDENT TAFT'S ADDRESS
IN NEW YORK.

President Taft's address in New
York VIII attract the whole countrv-S
notice Tt Is the most noteworthy OF
his recent utterances. Cne part of #
that deserves especial study Is In re
lation 10 the trusts and the conduct
of business
The President says in effect that his
administration does not intend to run
amuck IN business and destroy values
and confidence Just for the pleasure Of
doing 50" But he adds this warning
language:
But It does rest with the National
Government TO enforce the law. and
II the enforcement Of the law is NOT
consistent with The present method of
carrying on business, then IT does not
speak well for the present methods
Of conducting business. and thev mus
be changed to conform to the law
Further, the President said he found
nothing in the Republican platform
promising to so amend the Sherman
law a. to ameliorate and soften It's ap-
plicati0n TO business as conducted bv
the greatest corporations
The Presidents language means IN
questionably that the Administration
intends 10 do all It legitimately can
to prevent any loss of business con
fidence, but that those concerns which
are existing in gross violation Of the
Sherman law must overhaul their
methods or suffer the consequences Tt
IS clear that the President feels the
country viii not permit him 10 stand
still in the matter of Sherman law en-
forcement- His course Is marked out
for him. Corporations violating the
law must recognize this. and get within
the law to the extent OF desisting from
such practices as Mr.. Taft has plainly
said in his January Z message are in
violation of law
The sooner everybody frankly recoC-
nizcs that the system whereby the
Federal Government deals with great
Interstate combinations and aggrega-
tons OF capital Is outgrown and in
adequate the better. It Is not time
to stand still. There Is call so- broad
and comprehensive legislation on this
question No question looms larger be
fore Congress THAI the one Of proper
Federal control Of corporations, which
shall guard the public from corporate
abuses on the one hand and give
The Washington times., 1910-02-13

security to legitimate capital on the
other.
The Administrations national iEcOr-
porati3n bin is doubtless not perfect
measure, but It at least offers the
groundwork for perfection of the right
sort of a bin. The brains and con
strUctive faculties of statesmen and
the legal representatives of corpora
lions could not be better employed than
in trying to solve this problem. It Is
useless 10 try to evade it. Every year
1t looms up larger. Yet Congress now
Is practically ignoring IT, and the dis
position IN and out of Congress Is to
pounce on every plan presented and
tear 1t to pieces with criticism. It Is
about time Tor everybody concerned to
get together OF the building of a plan
that VIII mean stability and viii take
the question of the relations of the
Government TO big business out of the
domain of perennial agitation.
