Busting the Beef Trust

Further proceedings are now pro-
posed by the Department OF Justice,
in accordance with the recommenda-
tions Of the Federal Trade Commits
sion for the breaking up Of the pack
ers' combination. The purpose Is TO
separate the stockyards and termin-
ais from the packing plants. the for

said before, we doubt 10. The public

Standard oil was busted, the price Of
oil went up; so did the price OF the
shares OF various constituents OF the
busted trust so did the private for
tunes OF those fortunate individuals
who had inside knowledge Of the
values actually represented. The bene-
ut TO the public from that glorious
victory has never been discovered.
Trust busting was somewhat dis
credited FOR awhile after ihgi but
attacks on the packers have always
been good for nl.lty OF heqdl me- and

this better than the members Of the

nothing OF It's counsel. and a cam

medicine.
The proceedings began merrily in
the newspapers and finally, to avoid
prosecution, the packares surren-
dered on terms negotiated with The
Department OF Justice and recOmmen-
daiiOns OF the Trade Commission.
The meat trust was to be busted ;
that Is, the stockyards and terminals
were TO be separated from the pack

This dismemberment. It was i'm
piled, was TO benefit the public by
the destruction OF an oppressive

dismembering this great industrial
mechanism, the product Of processes

gently fostered. instead OF defeated,
is, in our opinion, fallacy for

Trust busting is profitable for poll
ticans, but that the people will bene-

pense OF unnecessary duplication and

YORK Republicans, was voiced tonight
py senator Hiram Johnson. of Call
tornia, n candidate for the Republican,
presidential nomination.
In O formal statement, Senator John
son declared IL would be "ncitlcr fair
to tho other members of tho league
nor to the people of the United States"
to enter tho league. as Mr.. Root suE-
gested, and then have the President in
augurated next March take steps to
reform the league covenant.
II cannot subscribe to any such doc
trinc, the statement continued. IF
the League establishes rule OF cN-
pediency rather than Il rule of public
right, as Mr.. Root says 1t does. then
II is neither wise nor stateSmanlike
for the United States to become Il
party to the present covenant for the
brief space of few month";

says 1t is. then tl,e Iinle to reform 1t
is not on the bth of next month. but

describes. then the time to avoid It's
dangers is now. and not after wo have
irrcrocably become party to it,
