ors will accept the States securities.
Now the governor of North Carolina has
joined the fight against the American
Tobacco Company, unmindful of the
great favors received by his State from
that corporation.
Attorney General Wickersham's prop
Osition in connection with the organiza-
ton Of the American Tobacco Company
proved that while financiers and lawyers
are completely at sea regarding a course
of action under the Sherman law, the
governmental mind is in a nebulous
condition also. Wickersham's plan to
restrain the twenty-five individuals from
buying stock in any of the subsidiary
companies forces one to inquire how he
can do it. H-w can any one know who
is buying stock? Wickersham also pro-
vides for dummy directors of tobacco
companies, because the same man is not
to be permitted to sit on the board of
two companies, as some of the twenty
nine naturally would do II they eXer-
Cised their legal rights as owners openly.
If the government forces them to resort
to subterfuge in the matter of directors,
they may carry the practice further
than that.
Attorney General Wickersham admits
that he has doubts as to the wisdom Of
anything he proposes and wants the
court to leave the case open for five
years so that any changes deemed ad-
viSable' can be made without bringing a
new suit. This suggests new possibilities
of business depression If it is going to be
at least five years before anybody is to
know for sure whether the law is being
Obeyed. Attorneys for the Tobacco COM
pany removed all possibility of receiver
ship by intimating that in the event Of
4 reCeivership nobody but the twenty
nine individual defendants would dare
buy the property.
The Tobacco property taken as a whole
had little net influence on the market
because the bullish effect of proving that
the government was finding itself unable
to do anything definite in the way of re-
Cl ganization was counteraCted by the
hearlsh effect of Wickersham's admis-
sion that it would probably take five
years of experimenting TO find way out.
organize if the government will show a
model. and the financial world cOnsid-
cred it unfair for the government TO sue

corporation is unnecessary because that
corporation even now continues the offers

show 1t how. The scheme of dissolution
for the steel trust. as outlined in the
governments bill of complaint filed last
week, is too radical and absurd to be
treated seriously even by politicians.
