ism. There Is grave danger to our free In
stitutions In the corrupting Influence exer
cised by great wealth suddenly concen
trated In the hands of the few. We should
In rsne manner try to remedy this danger
In spite of the sullen opposition of these
few very powerful men, and with the full
purpoRe to protect them In all -their rights
at the very time that we Require them to
deal rightfully with others.
When with steam and electricity modern
business conditions went through the as
tounding revolution which In this country
began over half a century ago there was at
first much hesitation aa to what partic
ular governmental agency should be used
to grapple with, the new conditions. At
almost the same time, about twenty years
sincev the effort WB mads to control com
binations by regulating them through the
Interstate Commerce commission and to
abolish them by means of the anti-trust
act, the two remedlea therefore being In
part mutually Incompatible, The inter
state commerce law has produced admirable
resulfs, especially since It was strength
ened by the Hepburn law two- year ago.
The anti-trust law, though It worked some
good, because anything Is better than an
archy and complete absence of regulation,
nevertheless has proved In majiy respects
not merely Inadequate, but mischievous.
Twenty years sgo the misuse of corporate
power had produced almost every con
ceivable foyn of abuse and had worked
the 'gravest Injury to business morality
and 1ho public conscience. For a long time
federal regulation of Interstate oommerce
had been purely negative, the national
Judiciary merely acting In Isolated cases
10 restrain ine state irom exercising a
power which It was clearly unconstitutional
as well as unwise for them to exercise, but
which nevertheless the national govern
ment Itself failed to exercise. Thus the
corporations monopolising commerce made
the law for themselves, state power and
Common law being Inadequate to accom
plish any effective regulation and the na
tional power not yet having been put forth.
The 'result was mischievous In the ex
treme" and ' only short-sighted and 'utter
failure to appreciate the grossness of the
evils to Which the lack of regulation gave
rise can excuse the well-meaning persons
who -now desire to abolish the anti-trust
law outright or to amend It by simply
condemning "unreasonable" combinations.
Some) Combinations BeneBelat,
Power, should unquestionably be lodged
somewhere In the executive branch of the
government to permit combinations which
will further the public. Interest; but it ntust
always be remembered that, as regards the
great and wealthy combinations through
which most of the Interstate business of
today Is done, the burden of proof should
bo on them to show that they have a
right to exist. No Judicial tribunal has

the knowledge or the experience to de
termine In the first place whether a given
combination Is advisable or necessary In
the Interest of the public. Somebody,
whether a commission, or a bureau under
the .Department of Commerce and .Labor,
should be given this power. My personal
belief Is that ultimately we shall have to
adopt a national Incorporation law, though
I am well aware that, this may be Impos
sible at present. Over the actions of the
executive body In which the power Is placed
the courts should possess merely a power
of review analogous to that obtaining In
connection with the work of the Interstate
Commerce commission at present. To con
fer this power would not be a leap In the
dark; It would merely be to carry still
further the theory of effective" govern
mental control of corporation which was
responsible for the creation of the Inter
state Commerce commission and -for the
enlargement of It ' power and
for the creation et the bureau
of corporations. The Interstate commerce
legislation has worked Udmlrably. It' lias
benefited the public; It has benefited hon
estly managed and wisely conducted rail
roads; and. In spite of the fact that the
business of the country has enormously
Increased, the value of this federal legis
lation has been shown by the way In which
It has enabled the federal government to
correct the most pronounced of the great
and varied abuses which existed In ,th
business world twenty years ago while the
many abuses that still, remain emphasises
the need of further and more thorough.
going legislation. Similarly, the bureau of
corporations has amply Justified Its crea
Hon. In other words. It Is clear tTiat the
principles employed to remedy he great
evils in the business world have worked
well, and they can now be employed to
correct the evils that further commercial
growth has brought more prominently to
the surface. The powers and scope- of the
Ii terstate Commerce commlssslon, and of
any similar body, such as the bureau of
corporations, wtyk-h has to deal (-with the
matter in hand, should be greatly V?7nSod
so aa to meet the requirements '6(the
present day. . .:''
ine oecisions or the supreme ourt In
the Minnesota and North Carolina cases
Illustrate how Impossible Is a dual.' con
trol of national commerce. The states can
not control It. All they con do Is to con
trol Intrastate commerce,, and this nos
forms but a small fraction of the com
merce carried by railroads through each
state. Actual experience has shown that
the effort at state control Is sure to.be
nullified in one way or another sooner or
later. The nation alone can act with ef
fectiveness and wisdom; It should havo the
control of both of the business and of the
agent by which the business is done,, for
any attempt to separate this control must
result li grotesque absurdity. This means
that we tnust rely upon national legislation
to prevent the commercial abuses that now
exist and the others thut are sure to arise
unless some efficient government body has
adequate control of power over them. At
present the failure of the congress to util
ise and exercise the great powers conferred
upon It . as regards Interstate commerce
leaves this commerce to be regulated, .not
by the state not yet by, the congress, but
by the occasional .and '.necessarily. Inade
quate and one-sided action of the federal
Judiciary. However iprlirht and able a
court Is. It can not act constructively; it
can . only act negatively or deatructively,
as an agency of . government : and this
meana that the courta are and must al
ways, be unable to deal effectively with a
problem like the present, which requires
constructive action. A court can decide
what Is faulty, but It has no power to
make better what it thus finds to h
faulty. There should be an efficient' ---
ecutive body created wtlh power enouugh
to correct abuses and scone enoueh r.t
work out complex problems that this great
country has developed. It Is not sulficient
objection to say that such a body may
be guilty of unwisdom or of abuses. Any
governmental body, whether a court or a
commission, whether executive, legislative
or juoicial, if given enough power to en
able it to do effective work for irood. miiKt
also Inevitably receive enough power to
make it possibly effective for evil.
Therefore, tt In clear that unless a na.
tlonal Incorporation law can be forthwith
enacted) somebody or bodies in the execu
tive service should be given power to pass
upon anycommnatlon er agreement In re
lation to Interstate commerce, and every
such combination or agreement not thus
approved should be treated as in violation
of law and prosecuted accordingly. The
issuance of the securities of any combina
tion doing Interstate bualness should be
under the supervision of the national gov
ernment.
A strdng effort has been made to have
labor organisations completely exempted
from any of the operationa of this law,
whether or not their act are in restraint
of trade. Sucn exception would In all prob
ability make the bill unconstitutional, and
the legislature has no more right to pass

bill without r? gar' to. whet her It is-con-stlt
iitlnnal than the cmirt have lightly to
declare unconstitutional a law which the
legislature has solemnly, enacted. The re
sponsibility. Is as great on the one side as
on the other, and an abuse of power by
the. legislsture In one direction is equally
to-be condemned with ,sn abuse of power by
the courts in the other 'direction. It is not
possible whollr to sscent labor organisa
tions from thr work lrg of this law. atiA
they who Insist upon totally excepting them
are meiely providing that their status shall
be kept wholly, unchanged, and that they
shall continue to be exposed to the action
which they now dresd. Obviously, an or
ganisation not formed for profit should
not be required furnish statistic In any
may as complete aa those furnished by or
ganisation for profit. Moreover, so far
a a labor I engaged hi production only, Its
claims to be exempted from the anti-trust
law are sound. - This would substantially
cover the right of laborers to combine, to
strike peaceably, and to enter. Into trade
agreements with the employer. ' Hufwhen
labor undertakes In a wrongful manner to
prevent' the distribution and sals of the
products of labor, as by certain form of
the boycott, jt has left the field of produc
tion, and Its action may plainly be In re
straint of Interstate trade, and must neces
sarily be subject to 'Inquiry, exactly as In
the case of any other combination for the
same purpose, so a to-determlne whether
such action Is contrary to sound 'public
policy,. The heartiest encouragement should
be given to the wageworker to form labor
unions and to enter Into agreement with
their employers, and their right to strike,
so long as they act peaceably, must be pre
served. But we should sanction neither a
boycott nor a blacklist which would be
Illegal at common law.'-
The measures I advocate are In the In
terest both of decent corporations and of
law-abiding labor unions. They are, more
over, pre-eminently In the interest of the
public, for In jny Judgment the American
people have definitely -made up their minds
that the days of the reign of the great
law-defying and law-evading corporations
are over, and that from this time on the
mighty organization of capital, necessary
lor the transaction of business under mod
ern conditions, while encouraged so long
ss they act honestly and In the Interest of
the general public, are to be subjected to
careful supervision and regulation of a
kind so effective as to Insure their acting
In the Interest ot the people as a whole.
Allegations are often made to the effect
that there Is no real need for these laws
looking to the more effective control of the
great . corporations., uoon the .ground that
they will do their work well without such
control. I call your attention to the ac
companying copy of k report . just' -submitted
by Mr. Nathan Matthews, chairman
of the finance -commission, to the mayor
and city council of .Boston, relating to
certain evil practices of vsrlous corpora
tions which httvc ten bidder for furnish
ing to the city iron and steel. (This com
munication calls attention to "certain ad
ministrative practice under which, by
connivance between favored contractora
and the city authorities, the advantage ot
competition were lost, contracts were given
out by political favor Instead of the lowest
bidder, and the city sustained serious
financial loss.") This report shows that
there have been extensive combinations
formed among., the various corporations
wbl.-h have business with the cty of Bos
ton,.. Including, for Instance, a carefully,
planned combination embracing practically,
all the firms and corporations engaged In
structural steel work in New England. This
combination Included substantially, all the
local concerns andmany of the largest cor
porations In thq.Vnited States, engaged in
manufacturlng0,pr, furnishing structural
steel for use, ferity .part of New England;
it affected the sttesr the-cities and towns.

plainly dishonest, and supported by false
affirmations. In It conclusion, the com
mission recommends a follows: 1
Comment on the moral meaning of these
meuiocts ana transactions would seem
superfluous: but as they were defended at
the public hearing of the commission and
asserted to be common and entirely proper
Incidents of business life, and ' as these
practices have been freely resorted to bv
some of the largest Industrial corporations
that the world 1(BS ever known, the com-
iiiininn ueems u proper 10 record lis own
opinion. V
The commission dislikes to believe that
these practices ere, aa alleged, established
by the general custom of the business com
munity; and this-defenss Itself, If unchal
lenged, amounts ' to a grave accusation
against the honesty of present business
methods.

To support these misrepresentations by
fslse affirmation. in writing that the bids
are submitted in -good faith, and without
fraud, collusion or connection with any
other bidder. Is al positive and .deliberate
fraud; the successful bidder in the com
petition is guilty of obtaining money by
false prepenses; and the others have msde
themselves parties to a conspiracy clearly

Where, as in tire caae of the "Boston
agreement," a number of the most Impor
tant manufacturer and dealers In - struc
tural steel in this, country. Including the
American Bridge company, one of the con
stituent members ot the United States
Steel corporations, -have combined together
for the purpose of -raising prices by means
of collusive bide and false representations,
their conduct is not only repugnant to
common honesty, but Is plainly obnoxious
to the federal atatute known as the Sher
man or anti-trust - law.
The commission believes thst an examnla
should be made, of these men. and that the
members of the "Roston sgreenient." or at
lesat all those who. In October and No
vember. 1906. entered In the fraudulent com
petitions for the Cove street draw span

ipation in these transactions ha not yet
elapsed, snd the evidence obtained by the
commission la so complete that there
should be no difficulty In the government's
securing a convk-tion in thia case.
I have submitted this report to the t.
partmtnt of Justice for thorough Investiga
tion and for action If action shall prove
practicable. i
Surely such a state of affairs as that
above set forth emphasises the need of
further federal legislation, not merely be
cuusa of the material benefit such legisla
tion will secure, but. above all, because th'fl
federal action ahould be part, and a large
part, of the campaign to waken our people
as a whole to- a lively and effective con
demnation of the low standard of morality
implied In such conduct on the part of
great business concerns. The first duty of
every man is to provide a livelihood for
himself and for those dependent upon him;
It I from every standpoint desirable that
each . of our ltlsens should endeavor ' by

SUMMER MILLINERY AND SNOW

Of all kinds of bad lurk To the milliner,
nothing can equal a snowstorm at this
time of the year. So far the season haa
been backward anyway, and for snow to
put In Its appearsnce at this late day would
appear aa temporary disaster to this busi
ness. However, yeseterday the women of
Omaha displayed their keenness for bar
gain sales by going directly opposite to
any such Idea as that.
Anticipating an Immense trade for this
season, the Riley Bister, S17 South Six
teenth street, purchased the largest and
choicest line of exclusive millinery ;for
spring and summer wear- that they have
vcr carried. They were lucky, too, In
being able to buy unusually cheap for
cash large stocks from manufacturers and
Importers who still felt the effects .of the
recent financial disturbance and "needed
the money."
The season' business was backward, on
account of the cold and disagreeable
weather, while Easter trade, upon which
so much depends, was practically entirely
killed by the extensive building operations!
In effect on the adjoining buildings. The
street and sidewalk haa been blockaded for
weeks, and traffic has decreased on the
east aide of the street. Business has
stopped, but expenses have gone on Juat
the same. Rent, help, . advertising, etc.,
cost them Just as much. And right here it
may be stated that they brought out from
New York this season, to trim and design,
one' of the highest salaried trimmers who
ha ever worked In Omaha still the public
would not pa the fence built by the
contractor and the beautiful stock re
mained in the store.
These condition kept up and the season
has far advanced. Realising how abso
lutely necessary it waa that money should
be raised to meet bills coming In, yesterday
a ten day' money raising sacrificing sale
was Inaugurated. I'shered ;n with it was
an April snowstorm and light bllxxard. A
millinery cut price sale In April la rarer
than a blizzard during that month, and
when everything in the store was offered
at one-third to one-half off for ten daya,
a surprisingly largo number braved the
winter weather to purchase a summer hat
at one-half its value.
