1 Expected Economies From lcombina.
tion" Do Not Materiaiize.
lLouis D. Brandels In Coilier's.I
! Leaders OF the new third term, party
! argue that Industrial monopolies should
be legalized lest we lose the efficiency
! of large scale production and distribu-
tion. No argument could be more mis-,
leading
1t 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 ut
tain the size of greatest efficiency, for,
while business may be too small to
be efficient, efficiency does not grow In
definitely with increasing size What
the most efficient size is can be learned
definitely only by experience. The
unit or greatest efficiency is reached
when the disadvantages Of size coun
terbalance the advantages The unit
Of greatest efficiency is exceeded when
the disadvantages of size outweigh the
advantages. The history of American
trusts makes this clear That history
shows:
First-No conspicuous American trust
owes its existence to the desire for in
creased efficiency. Expected econo,
mics from combination" figure largely
In promoters prospectuses, but they
have never been compelling motive
In the formation Of any trust. On the
contrary, the purpose of combining has
often been to curb efficiency or even to
preserve inefficiency. thus frustrating
the natural law of survival of the fit-
test.
Second. NO conspicuously profitable
trust owes its profits largely to supe-
rior efficiency. Some trusts have been
very efficient, as have some independ-
ent concerns, but conspicuous profits
have been secured mainly through con.
troll 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 proportion
Of the business of the country without
continuing to buy up from time to
time its successful competitors

cotton and hay, which represent
about three-fourths of the value of all
the country's crops) declined 7 per

largely for Wilson after his nomina'

It goes 10 show that more is to be
gained for progressivism by getting
control of an old party than by trying
to make a new one. The force OF par
ty hatit, which usually tells against
the new party, may be thus secured
for the new policies new party

within the old one, not by the dem
ooratio party of tradition, was Mr..
Wilson elected. This new party was
born with Bryan nomination in 1895.

this triumph of progressiyism is for
the President elect TO recognize in his

nature OF the trust that has been re-
posed in him. To urge Mr.. Wilson
to be president of the whole people
would te an empty commonplace.

The wild Horse.

The "wild horse" which until recent
years was comparatively plentiful In
the southwest and west, was the off
spring of the horses introduced into
the western continent by the Span
Iards. When Pizarro and Cortes In
vaded Peru and Mexico they took with
them the horses Che first ever known
in the new world) from which sprang
the droves of mustangs and bron-
chos that used to roam in unfettered
freedom over the plains of Texas, Cali
fornia and New Mexico and the wide
pampas of South America. Some OF
the wild horses were of good size and
very beautiful, but most Of them. ow-
ing probably to lack of proper breed
ing, were of the pony variety. New
