In his message | teairous of——but no, it oannct be that, What does it mean, any to congress he makes {clear as his belief not only that the trusts ought | how? _ to be regulated, but that congress has full powers to proceed without @ moment's detay. This makes a big differsnes. and thin session of congress at om obtigation. He speaks plainty: “The power of the congress to tate commerce is an absolute and unqualified grant, and without Hmitations other than those preseribed by the constitution. The congress has constitution- ai authority to make ail laws necesrary and proper for executing thts power, and [am satiefied that this power has not been exhausted by any legisiation now on the statute books, It ts evident, therefore, that evils restrictive of ‘commerctal freedom and entailhag restraint upon national commerce fall within the regulative power of the congress, and that a wine and feasonable law would be a necessary and proper emer- cise of congressional authority to the end that such evils should be eradicated.” ‘There te remote possibility that @ constitutional amendment may be needed eventually. Mut the president no longer pure the cart before the horse. The amendment may be considered when it becomes neces- sary. He would have congress try its powers before assuming that thep are madequate. He would have the constitution carried out as it te rather than tinkered with. Indeed, there is serious doubt as to the need of any more laws even if thome we now have were rigtily enforced. A vigorous prosecution under the present laws, conducted with such spirtt of determination as would convince trust magnates that the government means business, might have better effects than could yeurs of tinkering with new acts and constitutional amendments, It in & good old adage that a stitch im time saves nine.
