save the defendant. After a short con-
ference with the prosecutor Judge

be an easy matter to put an end to the
abuses of both monopolies and trusts.
Enforce the la ws against those who break
them and the former will disappear. The
trusts will vanish as soon as they are
compelled to show that every dollar of
their capital stock has been paid in cash
or property and labor at a fair valuation.
Oblige every corporation to do this under
penalty of an assessment on stockhold-
ers to make good any deficiency in CAPT.
tai or surplus, or else a scaling down of
capitalization to actual values, and the
trusts would not long bother anybody.
Many are less interested in restraining
trade than in selling stocks and bonds
not representing actual value received or
used in their business. Present conditions
will require some review and reform of
transactions already accomplished, which
should not exist in the face of facts that
are being brought to light.
