TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST
Expected Economics from com5lna-
ton" Do Not MaterIaIlze.
(Louts D. Brandeis In Collier's.) }

(Louts D. Brandeis IN Collier's.)
Leaders of the new (Third Term)
party argue that industrial monopo-
lies should be legalized, lest we lose
the efficiency of large-scale production
and distribution No argument could
be more misleading.
It may be safely asserted that IN
America there Is no line Of business
in which all or most concerns or
plants must be concentrated in order
to attain the size Of greatest etti-
ciency. For while business nay be
too small to be efficient. efficiency does
not grow Indefinitely with increasing
size What the most edlctent size is
can be learned definitely only by ex-
perience. The unit OF greatest efti-
cheney is reached whsn the disadvan-
tages OF size counterbasance 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:
Hrst-No conspicuous Arnsisasa
trust owes its existence to the desire
for increased efficiency. Expected
economies from combination" figure
largely in promoters prospectuses;
but they have never been a compell-
ing motive in the formation of any
trust On the contrary, the purpose Of
combining has often been to curb eff
cheney or even to preserve ineffl-
cheney, thus frustrating the natural
law of the survival of the fittest.
Second-No conspicuously profta-
BILE trust owes its profits largely to
superior efficiency. Some trusts have
been vr-J efficient, as have some In
depend ,nt concerns; but conspicuous
profits have been secured mainly
thrc ugh control Of the market
through the power of monopoly to fix
prices-through this exercise of the
taxing power.
Third-No conspicuous trust has
been efficient enough to maintain long
as against the Independents its pro-
portion Of the business Of the country
without continuing to buy up, from
time to time, its successful competi-
tors
