ON TRUST PAY ROLLS

The following from one of Clyde
Tavenner's Washington letters
throws some light on the question,
why has the government been
unable to control the trusts"
While this question has not as
yet been definitely answered, the
hours investigating committees
are bringing out testimony which
tends to throw light on the subject
at least to the end of showing that
the great trusts Of the country
have at some time or another had
most of the governmnt prosecutors
on their pay rolls. ....'
United States Attorney General
Wickersh am heads the list. Under
oath he admitted that the last thing
he did before taking charge of the
prosecuting machinery of the
ma ton wat to draw down his share
of $4,000 fee from the sugar
trust as a member of the New
York law firm of Strong and
Cadalader.
Henry T Taft, brother of the
president, is still a member of his
II firm who especial ty is to show
tho sugar trust and other great
industrial corporations how to
evade the law and es are prosecu-
tion. ......
That Frank B. Kellogg, special
counsel to the United States and
widely advertised by the Republic
cans as the great trust buster has
received thousands of dollars from
the government at the same time
that he WIS wing big fees for
ACTING as attorney for subsidiary
concerns Ct the steel trust, was
developed n testimony before the
Stanley committee.
1t appears that Mr.. Kellogg,
besides pocketing the $4,000
recently paid him by the govern
ment for serving as trust buster"
under Roosevelt, also received
from the steel trust $4,000 as
extra compensation for legal services
rendered their corporations.
On Oct. 20, 1907 Mr.. Kellogg
was proven by his own testimony
anu documentary evidence in pos
session ofthe committee to have
received a second $4,000 for
extra services. ,.-..
These sums. were received by
him in addition to the regular
salary received by his firm from
