Present Laws Effective

Three decisions handed down by
the United States Supreme Court
just previous to its adjournment for
the summer vacation seem to us
strong arguments in favor of the ad-
journment of congress without action
on the antitrust bills proposed by
Pres. Wilson. They are the decis-
ion that the intermountain rate or
ders of the interstate commerce COM
mission are valid, a decision in eff
feet that the commission has the
right to use it's discretion in apply
ing the long and short haul clause
of the interstate commerce law.
The decision that the law deeclar-
ing oil pipe lines across lines are
common carriers is valid, confirm
ing the power of congress to make
corporations that are common car.
riers in fact become so in form. The
decision that the Kentucky statute
making it legal for farmers to pool
their tobacco is unconstitutional.
These decisions together with the
Shreveport case" a few days previ-
Gus, where it was held that the fed
eral statute should prevail over any
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1914-07-01

state statute relating to Interstate
carriers, have given the country de-
finite knowledge of the powers it
possesses to prevent the restraint of
interstate commerce or manufacture
Sufficient decisions have been CIV
en- by the supreme court to show the
government has the power to stop
and punish any restraint of trade.
We do not understand it has the
power to prevent combinations un-
less they attempt 10 restrain trade
or destroy competition. And this
seems desirable. Business should be
allowed to organize as large units
as can be made profitable but not al
lowed to unfairly prevent smaller
units from doing business.
This definite knowledge the coun-
try now has is the result of long
years of litigation and adjustment
of the powers of the government and
of big business. 1t shows the i'm
mense amount of time necessary to
OCbCA AllAIO lllC real law Ou SuCH
mendous subjects, The passage of
new laws on these subjects in all
probability could be no more quick
ly tested and given definite effect.
Any statute that human wisdom can
formulate can be evaded and will be
if there is sufficient benefit derived
from doing it. So the hope that the
enactment of the laws now before
Congress will not be challenged is
useless. They will be and if left on
the Statute books as long as the
Sherman law has been, the older
members of the present generation
cannot expect to see their powers
definitely settled.
Actual test has proven that the
present law is sufficient to restrain
bad business and business that is
not bad should not be further
threatened or harrassed at this
time. Ignorance of the general pub
lie of the powers it has under pre-
sent law is not sufficient excuse for
the enactment of new laws.

The report to Governor Fletcher
by the Vermont representatives to
the New England railroad confer
ence does not read like a popular
bang the railroads" spirit On the
contrary it is a very good brief for
the railroads and reads very much
like an article by Percival w. Glenn
ent. However it contains many
statements that are more true than
popular and is worthy of careful
study.

The whirlwind trips of H. N.
Jackson of Burlington, the husband
of one of the most wealthy women
of the state of Vermont, and Rev.
Frazer .Metzger of Randolph, on
matters ''of political significance"
must be the voice of the people.
Certain it is that no other two men
in Vermont have been so active in
the attempt to select candidates for
the various political Offices to be
filled in the next election. If
Penrose or Barnes should do half
as much to get men to their liking
into the political field, the edict
would soon be issued that they must
be defeated. But Leaders Jackson
and Metzger seem already defeated
in their attempts to get reputable
republicans to march under their
banner.

COMBINED SHOWS ARE COMING
The Wheeler Bros. Circus & Famous
Stampede Wild West

The Wheeler Bros. Circus & Famous
Stampede Wild West
All the contracts necessary for the
l innumerable details of the exhibit
tion of a large circus institution
have been made for the early ap-
pearance in this city of the Wheeler
| Bros. Circus e The Famous STAN
pede Wild West This is one of the
worlds largest amusement enter
prises, and because of its peculiar
combination it is probably the most
interesting.
1t is advertised by the manage
ment that it is without peer in
point of performance, and it would
seem as if this boast is justified in
a combination which includes two
such shows. The Wheeler Bros. has
for years been conceded a place in
the front rank of circuses, and in
many points it has been given first
place. 1t could not be eXcelled for
its horses, the quality and complete
ness of its equipment or the atten-
ton given to the numerous details
which are essential for the produc-
ton of a performance of unusual
merit. Although the Wheeler Bros.
have always refrained from featur-
ing some five-second act as a thrill
Ter, used purely for advertising pur-
poses, their patrons have always
found many surprises in store, and
now they have come forward with
the boss thriller of them ala Mex
lean Bull Fight, a thrilling repro
ductiOn by the Mendaza troupe of
genuine Mexican bull fighters.
When the combination of the
Wheeler Bros. Circus & Famous
Stampede Wild West was accomp-
lished, the amusement world was not
surprised, as the combination had
been predicted. The deal was a for
tunate one for amusement patrons,
inasmuch as they are now able to
see the two shows for the prices for
merly charged for one. To enable
the performances of the two exhibit
tions to be given simultaneously and
without cutting out a single act of
either, has been a great herculean
task, but it has been accomplished,
and the result will be seen when the
Wheeler Bros. Circus & Famous
Stampede Wild West Shows appear
