company and the American Tobacco
Mr.. Perkins View


MIR. Perkins has never varied in thought
or in expression from the reasoning in
which he in his own mind, justified the
creation of the International Harvester
company He believed that an organiza-
tion of that kind represented the inevita-
BILE operation of modern economic laws.
He justified the organization upon several
grounds-first, that by means of its great
capital and resources it would be able
to institute and perfect large economies
in the manufacture and marketing Oh
farming implements. In the second place.
he believed that a corporation OF TINS
kind would be able, in short time, to
obtain pre-eminent position in the mar
kets of the world for the apparatus man
ufactured by the Harvester company.
He believed in the third place, that
perfected organization of this sort would,
in obedience to sound business and eco
nomic principles, establish prices which
would be fair both to the manufacturers
and to the consumers.
Mr.. Perkins, however, recognized that
a combination of this sort might property
be regarded as having established at least
a partial monopoly. For this reason he
urged with earnestness and persistence
the establishment of a competent bureau
under the control of the government sim
liar, as far as possible, to the interstate
commerce commission which should have
full authority to regulate and supervise
the business methods of the great conf
binations. Government supervision and
regulation were certain, in his view, to
remove any danger which unrestrained
monopoly might create.

The Opposite View

| Attorney General McReynolds, appar-
emily without going into the economic
questions, stands firmly upon the Sher-
man antitrust law. He asserts that this
law was written into the statute books
for the purpose of forbidding eombina-
tions in restraint of trade and penalizing
those that make combinations of tina
| kind. 1t is an issue in which Mr. Per-
| kns and those associated with hnn
readily join.
| Suppose then, the supreme court, to
which this litigation presumably will ulti-
mately be TAKEN shall find that the In
ternational Harvester company was or-
ganized and is being directed Illegally.
Then the question will arise: VIII the
courts accept the view of Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds and issue a mandate e
which if obeyed will perfectly and abso-
| lutely dissolve the International Har-
| vester company or, the better to secure
| that will they authorize the appoint
| ment of receiver who will be instructed
to tear down and send to the corpora
ton scrap heap the great structure now
known as the International Harvester
| company?
| A decision of. that kind will bring the
matter squarely before the American peo-
Pile They will speedily learn, in case the
| Harvester company be torn to tatters, so
to speak. whether there will be there
after an expectation of American-made
! agricultural apparatus of the money val
ue of approximately $50.0O0000 year.
! They will soon have an object lesson
which will enable them to determine
| whether or not great combinations of
] capital into a single corporation. whether
] reasonable or not, and whether based
upon modegn economic principles, carry
danger to the American people which far
, offsets any possible commercial benefit.
| In this city, the brief of the Attorney
| General in the International Harvester
case is looked upon as forecasting the
brief he will make, If he be in office at
the time. when the case of the United
| States Steel corporation for ALLEGED vio-
| lation of the Sherman law is offered 10
the federal courts for their consideration
and if the courts should decide that the
| Steel corporation was organized and is
onerated in defiance of the Sherman law
and should issue mandates for its disso-
luton similar to those which Attorney
General McReynolds asks in the Harves-
ter case, then the greatest of modern CO.
| operations will be torn to pieces, so that
there can no longer be any allegation
| that the steel and iron industry of the
] United States Is dominated by large capi-
tai and by a single corporation.

Decided Proof of Weakness of
Huerta is Shown in His Call for
eX-DictatOr DiaZ

Mexico City, Sept. 29.-Gen. Por-
firio Oiaz. ex-president of Mexico,
has been summoned by the war de-
partment to return to Mexico for
active army service.
4 cablegram sent to Gen. Diaz
brought a non-committal reply from
the ex-president asking the war de-
parcment TO await the arrival of a
letter from him.
Gen Porfrio Diaz is now at Biar-
ritz. France 1t is recognized here
that Gen. Diaz is too old to render
service. except possibly in an advis-
cry caTaciuy, and it is assumed that
such viii be expected of him. The
last words OF Gen. Diaz when he left
Mexico were to the effect that he
would return only if the country
needed his services in the event of a
iOreign invasion.
No intimation is given as to the
reason prompting his recall. His
resignation from the army was ac-
cepte1 by President Madero.
