TO help them Let us lcok al this de-
cision.
To break the trusts congress passed
a law making it criminal act to form
a-"combination in restraint OF trade. D.
This was the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The government started a prosecution
Of the Standard Oil for violating the
law The case dragged on up through
the federal courts until at last in 1910
the supreme court rendered a decision
to the effect that congress did not
mean to say that ALL combinations
In restraint Of trade were criminal but
only such combinations restraining
trade "unreasonably"
This completely smashed the law
because none of the trusts have yet
agreed that they were unreasonable"
and since any man with sense knows
that this is a thing practically impos-
sible to prove in court, the trusts have
had their own way. unmolested.
The supreme court in this decision,
exercised legislative powers which the
constitution vests in congress alone.
1t determined public policy affecting
the welfare of millions Of people and
involving billions Of dollars. So long
as that decision stands the trusts are
perfectly safe from regulation by con
gress.
Again, in 1898. congress passed ma
tional income tax, as all other great
countries have, which levied a tribute
upon the big rich Of the nation. This
law the supreme court vetoed by con-
STRUNG it to be unconstitutional" II
took eighteen years to amend the con-
stitution in this respect so as to make
it constitutional.
trust it is clear than that so long
as the United States supreme court is
permitted to exercise the powers it
now wields, the actual sovereignty of
this nation is vested in 1T and not in
the people.
