The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1911-02-03

A year ago certain organs of Wall Street were pre-
dieting in desperate accents that the decision OF the
Supreme Court should sustain the dissolution orders
of the lower courts against the Standard Oil Company
and the American Tobacco Company it would mean
the paralysis of business in this country and this view
was echoed in many quarters But now that these
great cases are actually having their final hearing,
with the momentous decision expected in few weeks,
at most a few months, popular suspense seems TO
have actually diminished rather than increased. Thus
the New York Evening Post reports that the present
mood of the financial community regarding the coming
trust decisions is largely one of curiosity tempered
with the puuc, doubt with the court ITSELF by
realization that broad and comprehensive decision
on these leading will blaze the way for future
conduct of legitimate business and for future first
hand restraint on iegitimate schemes of capital.
The apparent absence of public excitement over
the cases at the present time is the more striking
when we consider the vast interests involved Mr..
Rockefeller is quoted as saying that there are hun
dred other great corporations and combinations in the
country which have copied the system and methods of
TIE Standard Oil Company
However that may be, F" writes James Creelman in
the New York American it is probable that sixty
other trusts organized practically the same p an as
the American Tobacco Company and the Standard Oil
Company with united capital of about So 0O0 O000 600
are dependent upon the decision of the cases. More
over as the same writer reminds u.s. the whole poll
CIV of the Taft administration with respect to this ire
mendous question is suspended until the Supreme
Court makes it's decision and finally settles the power
of the Government under the Sherman Antitrust
Law
The lower Federal courts, it will be remembered,
have already decreed the dissolution of the Tobacco
and Standard Oil Trusts illegal combinations in
straint of interstate trade In his supplemental brief
against the companies filed few weeks ago Attorney
General Wckersham maintains that Congress meant
the Sherman Law ito cover any form or device en-
ployed to hold together corporations naturally COM
peting business establishments as to eliminate com
petition" He calls attention moreover, to the fact
that in every brought against the Standard Oil
Company in any of the states under antitrust statutes
the combination has held to be invalid. and urges that
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1911-02-03

these decisions evince greater public policy of this
nation which is a material consideration IN this
court" He adds that unless the Federal govern
ment enforces the Sherman Act shall have the an
omalous condition of these great combinations beng
held invalid as to interstate and excluded
from the states while to the interstate commerce
they may continue to do business under the shield of
Federal authority
In laying the case against the Tobacco Trust before
the Supreme Conrt the Governments counsel told how
the American Tobacco Company came into being in
1900 with little than three million worth of tan
gbe assets and controls properties paying divi-
dends on valuation of more than $500, 600, 600.
Since 1902 we are told, it has been world-trust
apportionng the tobacco-usng nations between it's
three great branches the American Tobacco Com
pany, and the British American Tobacco Company.
The result the government contends, is WORLDWIDE
combination to restrain and monopolize commerce in
tobacco between the states and foreign nations. AS
an additional for its dissolution it was urged
that the Tobacco Trust through it's inunce upon the
price of tobacco leaf, had so offended the tobacco
growers that they in turn had formed combinations
and were holding out against the trust by storing
their tobacco leaf AS result the governments
lawyers declare the whole social situation in the to-
bacco growing district is upset, element of the
community being driven into warfare with another
very different picture, however, painted for
the learned justices by the Tobacco Trust lawyers
Mr. Delaney Nichols pleas for the company are
thus summarized in Washington dispatch to tie New
York American
sThe American Tobacco Company not an ag~
gregation of competing plants but natural develop
ment of great business along naturaI economic lines.
In the Knight case the Supreme Court held that the

Tobacco Company which is manufacturing business.

gage in trade because of inherent power? The his
tory of the American Tobacco Company is ahstory of
the expansion of trade and not of Its restraint 1t is
the governments largest taxpayer"
Another counsel for thes trust Mr.aW. B. Horn
blower discussed the scope of the Antitrust Law and
summarized as follows the points which have already
been settled in constituting the statute:
First that every such contract in restraint of
trade is not necessarily invalid
Second that the contract for the purchase of a
business with covenants not to compete is not invalid
''Third manufacturer has the right to buy off a
dangerous rival, even if such purchase incl
dental restraint of trade if the principal object be to
protect business
And another famous corporation lawyer, John G.
Johnson, listened to with special attention. the
correspondents say when he urged the following point
in behalf of the defendant:
There is no word in the Sherman Act to forbid
acquisition of property The legislature the law can
not compel man to compete If there is no legal OBJ
legation or duty to compete, and if buys or B buys
A, law has been violated, for legal obligation
has thereby been violated Individuals and private
corporations no legal duty to compete. The North
ern Securities case differs from the present case be-
it was public service corporation and had le
gal obligation to the public to compete Monopozing
is more than acquisition. Combinations in themselves
not unlawful 1t is their abuses that were unaw-
full under the Sherman Act"
Opening the case for Standard OIL John G. Mil
burn retold the companys history to show that it's
growth had been through the creation of new business
rather than through the acquisition restraint of ex
listing business After picturing the injustice that
would be done to stockholders by the companys DISC
luton he concluded impressively
Damned for everything, but praised for nothing,
the way the Standard Oil has been treated bv the
government. In this record covering forty years of
business everything the Standard has done is re-
lated 1t has done things in strenuous times that
it should not have done. That was human
1T has done nothing that goes to the issue here
The evil of the armance of this Decree it is needless
for me to say, would be monstrous 1t is fortunate
that the is left in the hands of court that listens
to reason and never hears the voice of passion and
prejudice Literary Digest.

SENATOR SMOOT
ON THE WOOL BILL
SAYS PRESIDENT CAN NOT DO
OTHER THAN VETO THE
MEASURE.
VISITS THE WHITE HOUSE
Standpatters Believe That Wool In.
dustry Would BE Destroy.
ed BY New Bill.

Washington, July 29.--The theory
on which the president will veto the
Democratic Insurgents wool bill, was
explained today at the White House
by Senator Smoot, standpatter. Mr..
Smoot had gone to the White House
on other business, he said, but when
he emerged from the executive offices
he talked tariff. He admitted that
the combination had fooled him.
He did not think that the passage
of the wool bill was possible and he
had so stated. 1t is uncomfortable,
said Mr.. Smoot, that the president can
do other than veto the wool bill. It
was called to the attention of MT.
Smoot that the president had practi-
cally denounced the wool schedule OF
the existing tariff as at least indIs-
pensible. The senator was asked,
assuming that the president still re-
garded the wool schedule as indfs-
pensible, how he could avoid making
it less so by signing the Democratic
insurgent reductions of the tariff on
the wool. Mr. Smoot said:
The president would be guilty OF
inconsistency if he was to veto the bill
just passed, although he haa denounc-
ed the existing bill We are not
prepared to admit that the passage of
this bill is reflection of evil. There
is vast difference between adjust
ing the tariff on a particular sche-
dule and of destroying the reductions
which are based on that schedule"
Mr.. Smoot holds as do all the stand
patters and the advocates of the veto
that the bill just passed while not
very Objectionable in itself would so
Tar as 1t affects manufacturers of
wool, have its depressing reactions
and would destroy the whole wool in
dustry.
