man antitrust law"
The court, speaking thru Its chief
Justice. Mr.. White, put the following to
Attorney Parker: Suppose" said Mr..
Justice White, that a man had, say.
800, 000, 900 in strong box Then. sup
pose that he took out $1O,00O,00O and
invested 1t in this business, and that he
took out $10,000,000 more and invested
it in that business, and that he took out
s1O.000.000 more and invested it in that
business. and so on, until these invest
ments put him into complete CONTROL Of
anything. Would you say that this was
you say that 1t was the exercise of the
power OF money!"
Surely the rich man must not be
forbidden to engage in trade, merely
because he is rich," was the answer OF
the trust.
The chief Justice then propounded
another question: Suppose" said ne,
that a man with $1,000 900 invests his
money In such way that no common
sense mind can fall to see that by his
investments he has made all human
competition impossible. Is the result
due to the power OF wealth or to the
exercise OF that power?"
Again Mr.. Parker answered that the
Sherman law does not seek to limit
fortunes. nor to forbid the use Of
wealth, no matter in what amounts. in
trade.
But" said the chief Justice "if
man is so rich that by distributing his
wealth investments he excludes every
body else in the world from a business,
would that be monopolyo"
Under the law, no." answered MT
Parker.
1t is the claim Of the trusts and this
is the basis Of their defense. that a cor.
poration may do by purchase what It
may not do by contract, and that this
is merely the ordinary, natural and in
herent power of wealth; that there is
no law prohibiting the size Of wealth,
and that therefore the power of wealth
when so exercised is practically unre-
stricted.
The government answers this argu-
ment this way: First, that it does not
rest its case on the ground that the
inherent power OF wealth has caused
these monopolies. but contends that
there have been intent conspiracy and
many acts to exclude less powerful in
dividuals from the field. and second, ,
that even if the monopoly was the re-
suit of purchase under the inherent
power of wealth. the government does
not admit that it would be legalized
monopoly.
In other words the mans right to
make living is held OF more concern,
than moneys right to make more
money

THE CORPORATIONS TAX
Huntington Hawkeyel.


"A new point which is certain to at
tract the attention OF the legal frater-
nifty has been raised by counsel in be-
half of corporations resisting the cor
ation tax. in the case now before the
United States supreme court. The
government has power to tax the busi-
ness If levied upon all engaged in that
business, but to seek out only those
holding franchises from the state is to
tax an nstrumentality of the state, the
! FRANCHISE That it is contended. would
be unconstitutional. The proposition is
clothed in much better language and
more definitely covers the question in
court procedure but practically. it is
the same as that raised by the Hawk
eye. at the time the corporation tax
law was enacted. that it was UNEQUAL
and therefore. negotiable taxation. The
business houses conducting like busi-
nesses. OF equal magnitude and con-
dltlons one incorporated and the other

is the phase considered The Law mind
is unable to see the justice Of the tax
which places the burden upon one
business house and relieves the other.
The lawyers have framed their argu-
ment to reaci, a real ANALYSIS of the
principles involved. Can the federal
government invade the Sovereignty Of

President Main devoted a few min
utes during chapel exercises Wednes-
day morning to a forcible and earnest
discussion Of the problem Of dancing
as 1t applies to student Of 0rinnell
College. He aptly described the atti-
tude Of some students in their defiant
disregard Of tradition with the story Of
the naughty little girl. Her mother
shut her up in the dark closet and told
her to mediate on her sins. After a
prolonged period OF unhealthy stiffness
on the part OF the supposed penitent,
the mother opened the door and asked

answering pipe. 1--WE thpit on your
thkirt and I've shpit on your thoes and
now I'm waitin' for more thpit."
The majority OF the trustees, faculty.
alumni and students uphold Loyalty the
tradition that there should be no dane
ing in Grinnell College. Nevertheless
year after year there are students who
don't absorb enough respect for their
college and for the will Of the majority
to preserve this tradition It suffers in
consequence.
To the interested observer IL would
seem that an action whereby those
students who refused 70 respect this
| tradition. were requested to discontinue
their attendance. would afford instant
and lasting relief to the rnonotony OF
/ an ever recurring situation.

LoRrMER A SCANDAL

lSioux City Trihune1.
Back of the bribery charges against
Lorimer is a greater reason for his re-
moral from the senate.
What man has been and is in the
effect Of his public work is OF even
more serious Importance than the
temporary means employed in his cleo
ton. AS congressman. before he
was senator, Lorimer was secret
plotter and constructor OF plans for the
beef trust and the lumber trust He
habitually absented himself from the
lower house, appearing only when his
vote was needed to support some spec
ial interest combined with the particu-
lar interests he represented.
This corrupt and corporation serving
instinct In the man was we'll known for
years in both the upper and lower
house at Washington. 1t was known al
Chicago. It was pointed out to the
people OF Chicago and Illinois by the
Chicago newspapers over and over
again 50 that the very offering OF his
name as q senatorial candidate should
have been an offense and notice OF the
means that would be employed to Sc
cure his election.
Bribery was stamped on the mans
candidate for senator. And the brib-
cry charged against him now is only
an incident of small concern compar
ed to the wrongs he had already done
as congressman at Washington and as
debaucher OF Chicago and Illinois pol
tiles.
These background reasons in his
character and history probably will not
be brought out in the senatorial dis
cussion over his removal. Senatorial
courtesy will prevent that But what
Lorimer was as debaucher Of public
affairs Will be in the minds Of the sena
tors. And the public. watching the
custer proceedings. will estimate the
character Of other senators and their
relationship to public affairs by the
way they align themselves in this
case.

Perhaps the following will change the
per centage little: Only a few weeks
ago young married man died in the
town OF bows. leaving behind him a
family and some debts. This Young
man had been unfortunate in more
ways than one, but with all of his
faults must nave retained a strong
hold on the community, for this is
what happened: His relatives got to-
gether and gave him a fine funera, ana
he was followed to the grave by large
concourse of people. The debts he
owed around town were settled in full
by his employer. Not only that, but
the business men of the town, aided by
some others "chipped in" and gave the
widow 5000. all of which proves two
things. First, that Bows Is a pretty

PORK IS FAvoRITE MEAL.
More Hogs Used Than All Other
Animals Combined.

Washington - "Pork eaters" is a
term which may rightfully be applied
to the people of the United States, if
the figures just made public by the
census bureau for the year 1909 may
be taken as basis.
The figures show that during that
year, 4, 483, 900 more hogs were killed
in this country for food purposes than
all other animals combined, including
beeves, calves, sheep and lambs,
goats, kids, etc. During the year
1909, 36, 443, 600 hogs were killed for
food purposes; 81, $50, 900 of all other
animals.
The total number of animals slaugh-
tered in the slaughter houses and meat
packing establishments during 1909
are given as IS, 403, 900. These fig
ures, however, do not represent the
entire number of animals killed for
food purposes during the period which
the report covers, and the grand total
can be obtained, it is declared, only
upon the completion of the statistics
of agriculture.
