Washington, Nov. 28.—No more trust prosecutions will be started by the department of justice unless the department has been convinced that violations have been wilfully made and are to be persisted, in. In other words, the department of justice, which, in this instance, represents the wviews of the adminis- tration, has come to the conclusion that there are good and bad trusts and only the latter should be prose- cuted and the former should be told of the errors of their ways and be asked;, to sin no more. Unfortunately the law .does not make any distinction between good and bad trusts, but declares gener- ally what a business organization may and may not do. The Progres:ives declared, this to be a defect of the law in the last campaign and propos- ed the creation of a commission which would have authority to supply the apparent deficiencies of the statute. Good Trusts and Bad. Before that Theodore Roosevelt, as president, had urged modification of the Sherman law upon the very, the- ory that there is a great difference between those who violate the law unwittingly and those who wilfully and persistently do so for the pur- pose of monopolizing and stifling competition. The department of justice now plans an arrangement with the trade commission, by which discrimination between good and, bod trusts may be arrived at, and what the law fails to give in the way of sanction to * this arrangement is to be supplied: by the decree of the department that it will not prosecute the good trusts, Admit Public Apprehension. This: stand will mean, of course, that the department places,_ itself above the law-and:above the Con-- gress-that enacted 'it, and is substi- tuting the will of the attorney gen- eral for the letter of- the 'statute. But the departmeént - of - justice ‘has always done this and-the practice is one. which mest clearly reveals the absence in-the nation-of ‘a‘' govern- ment of -laws-and s demonatrates ceha only. Until the la.st few weeks the trade commission has not .felt quite ' cer- tain what attitude the department of justice would assume toward its work, and the ‘department ‘on the other ‘hand was waiting. for an indi- cation of the purpose of the tmde commission, - It waz stated formally todny by department of justice that there will be no -conflict over' cases where both have Junsdictxon. - Will Yield to Each Other. “The matter of jurisdiction,” said this official, “can easily be settlad, simply by the department yielding to the commission, where the latter first begins action, or vice versa.” Announcements by the department and the commission that they are willing to advise with business men on matters affecting their welfare are expected to be receivea with fa- vor. Before such an announcement is made, it is expected that the su- preme court will have decided several trust cases now pending, materially restricting the area of uncertainty | over the construction of the Sherman anti-trust act with respect to im- proper restraint of trade. An officer of the department to- day caid: “It is not the purpose or intention of the department to start any ill- advised prosecution. It is the pur- pose and the intention to prosecute only as a last resort, where there is no alternatlve 2 WOULD NOT LOAN HIS PAPER. Mr. Editor: I have just a few words to say. Last July when ‘the organizer came to my house and talked about the Nonpartisan Politi- cal League, I told him to stop talk- ing—I had looked for that very kind of a thing for some time, and it was no use to talk to me any more. I gave him six dollars and signed my name. He then asked me to spend a day with him in my township. . I spent a week. Occasionally we found a hard one and I donated the six dol- lars for them. Since the paper came I have not found one farmer that is not satis- fied. One farmer was asked to loan his paper. He answered, “I cannot. I don’t like to lose any for T want to get them bound .in book form.” I was raised on a farm. Gust Adams, Valley City, N. D. ABOUT FREPAREDNESS.
