information to every man just what
he can and just what he can not legal
ly do"
Col. Roosevelt claims that one of
the great troubles with laws is that
they are too indefinite that the hon
est man does not know what he can
do under the law and the dishonest
man can take advantage OF this indeti-
niteness and uncertainty to advance
his own ends by trickery and CHI
canery.
He claims that the Sherman Anti
Trust law Is inadequate and cites as
, proof of this assertion the results of
the decisions Of the Supreme Court in
the Standard OIL and Tobacco Trust
cases. No palmer illustration Of his
point could be made. These trusts
were ordered dissolved. Still they are
continued In their parts under the
management Of the same people and
with the same policies, instead OF be-
ing run as one concern, 1t is case of
the same people conducting many
separate concerns. He shows that
the prosecution of the Standard Oil
Trust and the Tobacco Trust amount
ed to no more than for some little
sissy dude to slap brawny man three
times on the wrist and say, "Take
that and that and that, you nasty
thing" They are still doing business
in the same old way at the same old
stand.
He advocates amending the Anti
Trust laws so that they will be plain
and effective to control the trusts ;
that commission be appointed to
control industrial business with
powers similar to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. He well says that
he can see no reason why the same
principles applied to industrial affairs
would not work just as well as when
applied to transportation affairs and
: neither can we.
The Interstate Co mmerce Commits
= sion is generally conceded to have
done a great work both for the rail
a roads and the people. Why would moi
d a similar policy work just as we'll II
q industrial affairs?
No honest man can object to thu
g law being clear and plain no homes
man should ask for more than justice
This is all Col. Roosevelt asks and hi
h plan to secure 1t looks practical. VIII.
II not try it2
