mR. BRYAN REVAMPs HIS 50 PER
 CENT PLAN.

Mir Bryan comes forward once more with his plan for dealing with the trusts The plan has at least the merit Of seeming simplicity. because 1T rests on an arithmetical basis. That is 10 say. he would prohibit any cor poration from doing more than 50 per cent of the business in It's line of in- dustry.
 That looks easy. but one may read ily imagine the fun that corporation lawyers would have in it's evasion. They could defeat MT Bryan's arith metical definition by a nominal divis- ion of the business among corpora tions controlled by the same interests. That is very much what the trusts are doing now. and there does not seem to be- any way to stop it as long as property rights are respected. But it is possible to regulate their opera tions. as MT Taft proposes. under fed cral supervision Mir Bryan com plains:
 We have no definition of monopoly to which a manufacturer can look for guidance. He knows now that he can { restrain trade in a reasonable way the supreme court has told him that ! but each case will be decided upon IL, merits. and he will not be able to learn without years of litigation just how far he can go without being guilty of unreasonable restraint.
 l. r not time to pay some attention to the just demands of the honest business man and relieve him from anxiety and expense at the same time that the country Is relieved from the conscIenceless depredations of the monopolist? Such relief Is possible | The plan embodied in the democratic platform protects the honest man. re- strains the corporation which attempts to control business. and does so with out invoking any new principle. Under the rule of reason. to which Mir Bryan objects. 1t Is a question of methods rather than percentages of | the business. No reasonable man need have much doubt In his mind ss to whether his methods and practices are legitimate or otherwise under that rule. The purpose of the rule Is to stop oppressive methods designed tu restrain trade. and It's enforcement can he had by means Of federal supervis- lon of corporations engaged in inter state commerce.
