mission supervision of the dissolution
of trusts after judicial condemnation
under the Antitrust Act, and makes
the commission an injuisitoria1 body
with the duty of presentment to the
court of suspected violators for pros
ecution. The Sherman Antitrust law
is expressly preserved. This means
that the construction of that law by
the supreme court, that it shall be ap-
piled in the light of reason, is the
declared public policy of the country
on the subject of monopoly. In the
eight of reason" it may be held that
the power to suppress unfair Compel
ition,' conferred by the Trades Com
mission Act, would not reach those
practices which have been recognized
by jurists as legally permissible and
by public opinion as sound morality
Interpreted by the rule applied to the
anti-monopoly act, the line disting-
uishing unfair from fair competition
will be conduct prohibited by statute
and conduct which courts have rec
ognized as ground of relief in private
transactions. If the statute shall be
thus construed from the viewpoint of
reason and not by its struct language.
no change has been wrought except
the removal of administration from
the judiciary to a political body If
it be determined by construction of
this act that what is fair and what is
unfair practice is to be measured by
judicial standards, then this commits

cooperating in our constitution the
social doctrine of communism.
Considerations of this kind impeIled
the supreme court to engraft upon the
statute "the rule of reason" It was
not the purpose of congress to over
throw any Of the inalienable personal
rights jealousy protected by the ia
theirs and handed down as an heritage
to be jealousy guarded.
In the Standard Oil case the con-
! stitutionality of the Antitrust Act
was attacked on the ground that ii
sought to annihilate every business
which by force of it's size, superior
management, and application of in
ventive skill absorbed in it's line the
large bulk of trade or manufacture
thereby acquiring the power to dom
mate that particular branch of indus
try, and to fix prices. By the terms
of the statute, every person who has
contributed his industry to the up
building of the enterprise is criminal
because his efforts, honest and lauda-
Bile in themselves, have been more fruit
full of results than the efforts of others
1t was forcefully argued that law
which may condemn and punish i'll
dustry is in conflict with the f,nda-
mental constitutional guarantees of the
right to labor and the right to acquire
and hold property.
In answer to this criticism of the
act, the chief justice said
''In every case where it is claimed
an act or acts are in violation Of the
statute, the rule of reason in the light
of the principles of the law and the
public policy which the law elnbodies
must be applied"
This decision recognizes the right of
business to exist and expand, even
though it may incidentally absorb the
whole field and by superior economies
eliminate all competitors; provided al
ways, it has been builded On honest
without the employment
Of methods condemned by the con-
science of mankind.

doubtful if the act is supported by

refused to convict even where the fact
Of monopoly was established with rea-
sonable clearness. Courts have held
that to support criminal indictment
under the act the monopoly must have
been the creature Of intent to create,

facts that a business, under prudent
management, has grown so large that
it is able to supply and does supply
the whole consumption; that this
growth, attributable to superior skill,
natural advantages and the use of law

that competitors have
