TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST
Expected Economics from Combine
&tlon" Do Not Matoriallxo.

ya9 (I.ouis D. Brandeis' in Collier's.)
Il. Leaders Of the new (Third Term)
party argue that industrial monopo.
lies should Be lsgalized. lest We lose
tho efficiency Of large-scale production
and distribution. No argument could
b more misleading. - -" Isis :.
3 Il may be safely asserted that In
America there 10 no line Of business
in which all or most concerns or
plants must be concentrated in order
to attain the size Of greatest EN-.
cheney. For while a business may be
too small to be efficient, efficiency does
not grow indefinitely with increasing
size. What the most efficient size is
can be learned definitely only by ex-
perience. The unit of greatest eft1.
cheney is reached when the disadvan.
tages of size counterbalance the ad-
vantages. The unit of greatest eff
cheney is exceeded when the disad-
vantages of size outweigh the advan-
tages. The history of American trusts
makes this clear That history shows:
First-No conspicuous American
trust owes its existence to the desire
for increased efficiency. Expected
economies from combination" figure
largely in promoters prospectuses;
but they have never been . compell.
ing motive in the formation of any
trust. On the contrary. the purpose Of
combining has often been to curb EN-.
cheney or even to preserve inem-
cheney. thus frustrating the natural
law Of the survival Of the dttest.
Second-No conspicuously pronta-
BILE trust owes it, profits largely to
superior efficiency. Some trusts have
been very emoient, ~ have some in.
concerns; but conspicuous
profits have been secured mainly
through control of the MARKET
through the power of monopoly to AZ
prices-throush this exercise Of the
taxing power.

tions in Vermont and Maine mean q
tremendous Democratic victory in No
vember, is freely admitted by all en-
cept the bitterest partisans. Politi-
cal experts have done some analysing,
and some claim to have reached novel
conclusions. But these facts stand
out:
On Monday, September 9, 1911, the
Republican and Third Term parties
combined elected William T. Aaines
governor of Maine, over Frederick w.
Plaisted, the present Democratic in
clumbent, by 1923 plurality; In 1908,
q presidential year, Republican was
elected governor by 1868 plurality: In
1904, the plurality was 25.SO0. and In
1900 it was 34,132 In other words. In
IL years the Democrats have cut
down the Republican plurality In state
elections by 31.109.
In this period the Democratic vote
has increased from $4,000 to $1,000
whereas the Republican vote has de-
creased from $4,000 to 1900. The
Democratic vote Of this year exceeds
that Of September, 1908. by 1000. but

Gratis. It u signincant that the latter,
party has to date suffered no losss4,
- compared with the vote In previous
years, from the Third Term move
ment. On the contrary, It has gained.
The result in Maine may be expected
to be something like this: Wilson.
$4,000; Taft, 42.6O0; Roosevelt, 1880.
The returns from the recent Yer
mont election show, in round figures,
that the joint Republican and third
party vote was eight per cent. short
of the Republican vote four years ago.
while the Democratic vote in that
