Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by a
License System.
.Large business organizations have
come to slay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can produce -
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora-
lions. The method of the present na
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller , which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to a
corporation doing a large and legiti
mate business , such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
I favor , writes W. L. Douglas , former
governor of Massachusetts , in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big , perhaps ,
* nust be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheapen
product and thus benefit the consum
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
-unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all , but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law it Is
any opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
In this country who do an Interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear ,
plain and definite that it could not be
misunderstood. It should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
{ public and certified by a public ac
countant There should be a board
ODf examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as our na
tional banks are watched by the na
tional government. They should have
ithe right to enter the offices and ex
amine the records of all the direc
torates of these companies.
Naive Optimists.
"Six months ago tnere was another
outburst of optimism as naive as

another era of political earthquakes !
and conflagrations , and the area of
disturbance continues to extend. Be
fore the Tripoli problem has been
safely liquidated or the peace of the
Balkans is assured , we have the out
burst in China of an insurrection
which may change the face of the far
east and give an incalculable increase
of force to all the impulses set mov
ing by the triumph of Japan. All we
can be certain of in the region of

tain. Do we need further lessons ra

"While a coffee drinker I was a suf-
rferer from indigestion and intensely
gainful nervous headaches , from child-
lood.
"Seven years ago my health gave
tout entirely. I grew so weak that
atw
the exertion of walking , if only a few
tfeet , made it necessary for me to lie
down. My friends thought I was
marked for consumption weak , thin
: and pale.
"I realized the danger I was in and
idd
tried , faithfully to get relief from medicines -

ployed all kinds of drugs , the doctor
-acknowledged that he did not believe
tit was in his power to cure me.
"While in this condition a friend induced -
duced me to quit coffee and try Post-

"hope that it would do me any good. 3tI
did not like it at first , but when it was

DECISIONS ARE DEFENDED
Dissolution Plans of Standard Oil and
Tobacco Explained Federal In
corporation and Commission
Recommended.
Washington. President Taft's annual
message , which was read In both houses
of congress Tuesday , deals exclusively
with the anti-trust statute. The message
In part is as follows :
To the Senate and House of Represent
atives : This mesage Is the first of sev
eral which I shall send to congress during
the interval between the opening of its
regular session and its adjournment for
the Christmas holidays. The amount of
Information to be communicated as to
the operations of the government , the
number of Important subjects calling for
comment by the executive , and the trans
mission to congress of exhaustive re
ports by special commissions , make it im
possible to include in one message of a
reasonable length a discussion of the top
ics that ought to be brought to the at
tention of the national legislature at its
first regular session.
Decisions of Supreme Court.
In May last the Supreme court handed
flown decisions In the suits in equity
brought by the United States to enjoin
the . further maintenance of the Standard
01 ] trust and of the American Tobacco
trust , and to secure their dissolution. The
de are epoch-making and serve to
ad the business world authoritatively
of the scope and operation of the anti
trust law of 1890. The deci ons do not
depart ; In any substantial way from the
previous decisions of the court In construing
Inj and applying this important statute ,
bu they clarify those important decisions
by further defining the already admitted
exceptions to the literal construction of
the act. By the decrees , they furnish a
useful precedent as to the proper method
of dealing with the capital and property
of Illegal trusts. These decisions sug
gest the need and wisdom of additional
or supplemental legislation to make it
easier for the entire business community
to square with the rule of action and
legality thus finally established and to
preserve the benefit , freedom and spur
of reasonable competition without loss of
real efficiency or progress.
It has been said that the court , by in
troducing into the construction of the
statute common law distinctions , has
emasculated it. This Is obviously untrue.
By its Judgment every contract and com
bination in restraint of interstate trade
made with the purpose , or necessary ef
fect of controlling prices by stifling com
petition , or of establishing in whole or In
part a monopoly of such trade , is con
demned by the statute. The most ex
treme crltllcs cannot Instance a case that
ought to be condemned under the statute
which is not brought within Us terms as
thus construed.
The sugestlon is also made that the Su
preme court by its decisions In the last
two cases has committed to the court the
undefined and unlimited discretion to de
termine whether a case of restrainj of
trade Is within the terms of the statute.
This is wholly untrue. A reasonable re
straint of trade at common law is well
understood and is clearly defined. It does
not rest in the discretion of the court. It
must be limited to acompllsh the purpose
of a lawful main contract to which , In
order that it shall be enforceable at all ,
It must be incidental. If It exceeds the
needs of that contract It Is void.
Methods of Dissolution.
In the Standard Oil case the Supreme
and circuit courts found the combination
to be a monopoly of the Interstate busi
ness of refining , transporting , and mar
keting petroleum and its products , effect
ed and maintained through thirty-seven
different corporations , the stock of which
was held by a New Jersey company. It
in effect commanded the dissolution of
this combination , directed the transfer
and pro-rata distribution by the New Jer
sey company of the stock held by it in
the thirty-seven corporations to and
among its stockholders , and the corpora
tions and Individual defendants were enJoined -
Joined from conspiring or combining to
restore such monopoly ; and all agree
ments betwen the subsidiary corporations
tending to produce or bring about further
violations of the act were enjoined.
In the Tobacco case , the court found
that the individual defendants , twenty-
nine in number , had been engaged in a
successful effort to acquire complete do >
minion over the manufacture , sale , and
dy
distribution of tobacco In this country
and abroad , and that this had been done
by combinations made with a purpose :
and effect to stifle competition , control
Jlt
prices , and establish a monopoly , not
only in the manufacture of tobacco , but
its
also of tin-foil and licorice , used in Its :
manufacture and of its products of cigars l-
lo
gars , cigarettes and snuffs. The tobacco :
suit presentend a far more complicated
and difficult case than the Standard Oil
il.e
suit for a decree which would effectuate
the will of the court and end the viola
tion of the statute. There was here L.0
single holding company as In the case
of the Standard Oil trust. The main com
pany was the American Tobacco com
pany , a manufacturing , selling and holdIng -
Ing company. The plan adopted to de
stroy the combination and restore compe
tition Involved the redivlslon of the capi in a.i
tal and plants of the whole trust between
some of the companies constituting the
trust and new companies organized for
the purposes of the decree and made par
ties to It , and numbering , new and old ,
fourteen.
Purpose Not Confiscation.
It Is not the purpose of the statute to :
confiscate the property and capital of the
offending trusts. Methods of punishment
by : fine or Imprisonment of the Individual
offenders | , by fine of the corporation , ilr
by forfeiture of its goods in transportation -
tion , are provided , but the proceeding iin
equity Is a specific remedy to stop the
operation ] of the trust by Injunction and
prevent the future use of the plant and
capital in violation of the statute.
I venture to say that not in the history
Did as He Was Told.
A young Irishman from a remote :
.part of Ireland recently secured a
berth as barman at a hotel in Mann
Chester. The first morning at ad
o'clock young Murphy was instructed ( I
to light the lamps outside. This he
lee
proceeded to do very businesslike ,
but half an hour later could not be >
found. Inquiries were made , and v
eventually Murphy was seen about i

7:30 lighting a lamp near Middleton , E
having lit all the lamps on the RochI
aa.
dale road for about four miles. Ideas. I
of American law has a decree more ef
fective for such a purpose been entered
by a court than that against the Tobacco
trust.
It has been assumed that the present
pro-rata and common ownership In all
these companies by former stockholders
of the trust would Insure a continuance
of the same old single control of all the
companies Into which the trust has by
decree been disintegrated. This Is er
roneous and is based upon the assumed Inefficacy -
efficacy and Innocuousness of judicial In
junctions. The companies are enjoined
from co-operation or combination ; they
have different managers , directors , pur
chasing and sales agents. If all or any
of the numerous stockholders , reaching
into the thousands , attempt to secure
concerted action of the companies with a
view to the control of the market , their
number is so large that such an attempt
could not well be concealed and Its prime
movers and all Its participants would b
at once subject to contempt proceedings
and imprisonment of a summary charac
ter. The Immediate result of the present
situation will necessarily be activity by
all the companies under different man
agers and then competition most follow ,
or there will be activity by one company
an stagnation by another.
Cry for Repeal of Law.
But now that the anti-trust act Is seen
to be effective for the accomplishment of
the purpose of Ite enactment , we are met
by a cry from many different quarters
for its repeal. It Is said to tte "obstructive
of business progress , to be an attempt to
restore old-fashioned methods of de
structive competition between small units ,
and to make impossible those useful com
binations of capital and the reduction of
the cost of production that are essential
to continued prosperity and normal
growth.
In the recent decisions the Supreme
court makes clear that there Is nothing
In the statute which condemns comblnaI
tions of capital or mere bigness of plant
organized to secure economy in producIn
tion and a reduction of its cost. It is only
when the purpose or necessary effect of
the organization and maintenance of the
combination or the aggregation of immense -
mense size are the stifling of competition ,
actual and potential , and the enhancing
of prices and establishing a monopoly ,
that the statute Is violated. J j
For Federal Incorporation. i
In a special message to congress on
January 7 , 1910 , I ventured to point out
the disturbance to business that would
probably attend the dissolution of
these offending trusts. I said : (
"But such an Investigation and pos- 1
slble prosecution of corporations whose
prosperity or destruction affects the
comfort not only of stockholders but of
millions of wage earners , employes ,
and associated tradesmen must necesqu
sarily tend to disturb the confidence of
the business community , to dry up the |
now flowing sources of capital from its ,
places of hoarding , and produce a halt :
In our present prosperity that will |
cause suffering and strained circum !
stances among the innocent many for
the fault of the g-ullty few. The quesCO
tion which I wish In this message to
bring clearly to the consideration and
discussion of congress Is whether , in | I
order to avoid such a possible business
dauger , something cannot be done by
which these business combinations may
[
be offered a means , without great finan '
cial disturbance , of changing the char .
acter , organization and extent of their
business Into one within the lines of
the law under federal control and su-
pervlslon , securing compliance with tha
anti-trust statute. j |
"Generally , in the Industrial combl-
nations called Trusts. ' the principal j
business is the sale of goods in many
states and in foreign markets ; In other
words , the Interstate and foreign busl- !
ness far exceeds the business done 1m
any one state. This fact will Justify
the federal government In granting a
federal charter to such a combination
to make and sell In Interstate and for
eign commerce the products of useful j
manufacture under such limitations as i
will secure a compliance with the antl- f
trust law. It is possible so to frame
a statute that while It offers protec- | i
tion to a federal company against j i
harmful , vexatious and unnecessary i
invasion by the states. It shall subject
It to reasonable taxation and control
by the states with respect to its pure-
ly local business. I
"Corporations organized under this
act should be prohibited from acqulrto j
ing and holding stock In other corporaga '
tions ( except for special reasons , upon |
approval by the proper federal authorj j
Ity ) , thus avoiding the creation under I
national auspices of the holding com- | i
pany with subordinate corporations In
different states , which has been such an J ,
effective agency in the creation of the
great trusts and monopolies.
"If the prohibition of the anti-trust '
act against combinations In restraint
of trade is to be effectively enforced ,
It Is essential that the national govern
ment shall provide for tne creation of
national corporations to carry on a
legitimate business throughout the
United States. The conflicting laws of
the different states of the Union with
respect to foreign corporations makes
it di cult , if not impossible , for one
corporation to comply with their re
quirements so as to carry on business
in a number of different states. "
Federal Commission Proposed.
I do not set forth In detail the terms
and sections of a statute which might
supply the constructive legislation permit ;
ting and aiding the formation of combina
tions of capital Into federal corporations.
They should be subject to rigid rules as
to their organization and procedure , In
cluding effective publicity , and to tha
closest supervision as to the Issue of j
stock and bonds by an executive bureau ,
j
or commission in the department of
\
commerce and labor , to which In times of
doubt they might well submit their pro
posed plans for future business. It must
be distinctly understood that incorpora
tion under a federal law could not ex
empt the company thus formed and Its
incorporators and managers from prose
cution under the anti-trust law for sub
sequent llegal conduct , but the publicity
of its procedure and the opportunity for
frequent consultation as to the legitimate
purpose of its transactions would offer
It as great security against successful
prosecutions for violations of the law
as would be practical or wise.
I recommend that the federal charters
thus to be granted shall be voluntary , at
least until experience justifies mandatory
provisions. The benefit to be derived
from ] the operation of great businesses
under the protection of such a charter
would attract all who are anxious to keep
within the lines of the law. Other large
combinations that fail to take advantage
of the federal Incorporation will not have
a right to complain if their failure Is
ascribed to unwillingness to submit
their transactions to the careful scrutiny ,
competent supervision and publicity at
tendant upon the enjoyment of such a
charter.
