Where Mr.. Taft
Broke the Record

In the number OF prosecutions
brought under the Sherman antitrust
law, President Taft has broken the
record. The Washington correspon-
dent OF the Daily News points out
that more suits charging violations
OF that law have been started by the
government under the Taft admins
tration than were started under the
administration OF Harrison, Cleve-
land Mckinley and Roosevelt COM
bined.
Under President Harrison there
were seven prosecutions for violations
OF the Sherman antitrust law: under
Cleveland. eight; under Mckinley.
three; under Roosevelt. IA total
OF o. for the administrations named.
The number OF suits started against
trusts thus far by the Taft admins
tration is sc.
The motives OF President Taft In
instituting these suits were OF the
best. He directed the prosecutions in
the face or strong influences brought
TO bear 10 induce him 10 desist. Per
haps II is well that a thorough trial
Is being made OF the effects of prose
cutions under the Sherman antitrust
law. II can scarcely be seriously con-
tended. however, that the litigation
thus far has proved OF value 10 the
public, Notwithstanding the decisions
rendered nominally in the public's
favor, unless II be conceded that the
demonstration of the futility of this
method OF procedure Is useful.
The Standard OIL trust, for ex-
ample, has been broken up into its
constituent parts. In accordance with
the stern decree Of the United States
supreme court, but the control is still
the same. Prices have not been re-
duced To consumers. The tendency
has been the other way Further, the
market value OF the securities based
on the properties has advanced enor-
mously. Much the same state of az
fairs is shown by postmortem In
yestigation Of the wicked old tobacco
trust
Taken by itself. President Taft's
record OF trust prosecutions should
cause him neither pride nor shame
The president may very well argue
that he undertook TO enforce an inn
| portant law that he found upon the
state books. He is distinctly blame
worthy, however. because he fails TO
realize the futility Of further trust
prosecutions that really amount to
nothing. The trust problem is not TO
be solved in this manner.
There must be further legislation on
the subject OF injurious trusts and a
systematic substitution OF admins
trative for judicial control OF great
business combinations. - Chic o

In all this wide, wide world the

Into a Blind Alley

Gov. Wilson reached the very vitals
OF the Roosevelt hypocrisy when he
contrasted its sympathies with its
program.

straight into the wage envelope"
The other, suggested to him by
George w. Perkins OF the Steel Trust
and the Harvester Trust and late OF
j. p. Morgan & Co., Is that there shall
be legalized monopoly with almost
despotic federal control OF industry
and commerce at Washington.
The intelligence OF American labor
is something more than a figure OF
speech. American labor knows that
the falsehood which has sustained
monopoly tariffs from the first has
been the promise that the prize money
should go straight into the wage en-
velope" That IL never has done so
is proved by the colossal fortunes OF
the few men whose bank accounts
have been fattened by ii.

Texas Oil Production.

Fort Worth, Texas, April H.
1.-THE Texas Commercial Secretaries
and Business Mems association
gives out the following statement
relative to the mineral develop
ments of Texas for the month Of
March, 1919:
Tho total oil production Of the
state in March, according to figures
furnished by the Oil and Gas jour
nal, was approximately 961, 600
barrels This is an excess over the
February output of $1,000 barrels,
or 1914 per cent, A number of new
wells were reported from the Gulf
Coast field.
Actual Work has begun on the
development of the sulphur mines
on the lower Brazos, and pleasing
progress is being made in the min
ing of iron ore in East Texas.
Our information from the coal
mines is not accurate enough for
an estimate Of the entire states out
put, but our authentic reports show
decrease in production of about 4
per cent as compared with that Of
February. In spite Of the decreased
