In the famous Standard Oil and
American Tobacco cases the Supreme
Court grapplod with this question In
what was thought at the time TO be

legality, and that rule Of reason
as to the matter must prevail. that IS
TO say, one based on a common sense
ard comprehensive summary of the
entire history and acts of the cor

II was generally supposed that this
settled the matter so far as the courts
were concerned. but events have
shown that II did not Last year the

We have time and again cmpha-
sized in these columns the fact that
the point i'm the antitrust law upon
which all interest converges is whe-
ther il is the organization or the
conduct of a corporation that makes
IL offensive TO the law. The cOrpor-
alton may be Illegal for both of these
reasons. 1t may have been so put
together as to indicate that it was
the definite purpose of its founders
TO make a distinct monopoly; and
also the history of the corporation
since it was brought into being may
attest beyond possibility Of dispute
that the practices and general husi-
ness conduct of its managers were
those of unfairness, oppression and
tyranny. But cases of this sort arc
very few. The old fashioned oppres-
sive corporate monopolies have dis
appeared. No great business in the
country is now run by boycotis,
blacklistng. price cuttings for The
mere purpose Of running competi-
tor and othcr devices OF that sort.
These belong exclusively to the his.
tory of business in days long since
past Today the all important ques-
tion regarding the operation Of the
antitrust law is:
Given the case of corporation
which il is admitted from the start
represents a merger of two originally
separate companies that were to q
greater or less extent competitors
Let il also be conceded that since
the merger the operation of the com
bination has not been inoffonsive &c
the antitrust law but has been
demonstrated TO be beneficial to Tn,
particular industry concerned and c
the general business of the country a,
well. Us the mere fact that the or
ganization of the combination i'm
vclved the merger of two previously
competing companies alone sufiicien
10 bring it under tho ban of the
antitrust law?'
Now, we believe VIC arc correct II

contention of the Government of tn

Heretofore the Democratic representation has been
