Martin d. Foster of Illinois and
Hon. BENZ. G. Humphreys of

difficult problem of apportioning

forty years and is convinced that the

On the day the present Con

had concluded his now-famOus
opening address, Mr.. Martin turn.
ed toward me and said:
"There is a deeper meaning to
this occasion than most of the
spectators are aware. am
not speaking from a partisan
viewpoint. What | allude to is
that this is the first time in for
ty years-the first time since
the trust problem has been acute
IN this country, that there is
a real, out-and-out antitrust ma
Jority in the House of Represen-
tativeS."
Mr. Martin was well qualified
to give an estimate of the body
of men before him. For four
teen Years he had labored among
the old members Of Congress.
and well knew how each of them
stood on the trust question.
Then he had closely examined
the records of the new mem.
berS, and had ascertained their
attitude ON trusts.
HOUSE ITS OWN MASTER. !
The fact that a majority Of
the members of the new House
stand for the passage of the
reciprocity measure and the
farmers free list bill is evidence
that the House is no longer CON
trolled by the sheriff trusts.
Lumber, for instance, would
not go ON the free list if Big
Business was still in control.
Heretofore the lumber interests
the same interests and indiyid-
uals that are alleged to have
elected and retained Lorimer
IN the Senate-have been able
to prevent lumber from going ON
the free list.
The fact that wire fencing and
other steel manufactures are
placed on the free list, and that
a sweeping investigation of the
steel trust will soon be begun {
under the STANDBY resolution is I
positive assurance that the steel
baronS are no longer able to t
dictate what bills shall die in ]
committee and what bills shall {
be enacted into law. !
1t Is evident also that the y
Implement combine has lost its /
grip on the House, because ag- G
rlcultural implements, including f
harrows, reapers, binders b
and mowers, appear on the t
farmers free list.
Nor is the beef trust still in
command. If it was dressed
meats would continue to be- I
instead of going on the +
tree list, as provided in the Dem 9
)cratic program. e
