Board of California
Rushing Business.
' San Francisco The California state
board of prison directors, at its meet
ing Monday, granted the largest num
berof paroles ever allowed by the
prison directors of this state. Chances
were given to 30 prisoners to begin
life over again. Among the number
paroled were three women, one of
whom had served 20 years for the mur
der of her husband.
The board, after much debate, de
cided to abolish the rule requiring $25
as a deposit of good faith from all
prisoners receiving their paroles.
After serving 17 years at Folsom
prison for complicity in a fatal train
wrecking job perpetrated near Sacra'

and who escaped the noose only
through the intercession of ex-Presi

ROOGERS ENDS FLIGHT.
60,000 Greet Ocean-to-Ocean Avia

Long Beach, Cal. Aviator Cal
braith P. Rodger completed the last
leg of his cross-continental flight and
landed on the shore of the Pacific at
4 :04 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The
final lap of hi trip was 12 miles.
Rodger started at Compton, near
here, where be fell November 12.
As Rodgers approached the sea from
the east, Frank Champion, in a Bier
iot monoplane, and Beryl Williams
and a passenger in a biplane, met
him. The airmen circled over the
sea-to-sea tourist as be made bis landing.
A crowd estimated at 60,000 per
sons saw the finish of the great trip.
and as the wheels of Rodgers' ma
chine touched the sands an enthusias
tic throng surged on the aviator and
the impact of the rush pushed his ma
chine into the waves.
Rodgers declared his actual flying
time from the Atlantic was S days, 10
hours and 14 minutes.

San Quentin, Cal. The McNamara
brothers Sunday entered San Quentin
penitentiary, where James B. is con
demned to spend the remainder of his
ife for the confessed crime of murder.
and John J. is sentenced to 15 year.
The men entered the prison, it it
fairly well authenticated, believing
that they had achieved much for the
cause of union labor and had been
cruelly misunderstood in their efforts
and the result they obtained. John
J. McNamara, those who have talked
with him for many hour ay, donned

Tola message la tha flrat of eeveral
which I ahall send to Congress during

Inipoaalble to Include In ona meseage

It haa been aald that the court, by
Introducing Into tha conatructlon of tha
atatuta common-law distinct lone, ha
emasculsted It. Thle la obviously un
true. By Ita judgment every contract
and combination In reatralnt ot Inter

roert rawer Limited.
Tha sunaeatlon la also made that the
Supreme Court by Ita decision In the
laat two caaea ha committed to tha
court the undefined and unlimited dis
cretlon to determine whether a caa of
reatralnt of trade la within the term
of the alatute. This la wholly untrue.
A reasonable reatralnt of trade at com
mon law la well underatood and I
clearly defined. It doe not real In the
diecretloa of the court. It muat be
limited to accompllah the purpoae of a
lawful main contract to which. In or
der that It ahall be enforceable at all,
It muat be Incidental. If It exceed the
needs of that contract. It la void.
Tha teat of reaaonableneaa waa never
applied by tha court at common law to
con i rait a or combination or conspire
ciea in restraint or trade whoae pur
pose waa or whoae neceaaary affect
would be to stifle competition, to con

courta never aaaumed power to say thai
sucn contracta or combination or con
aplraclea might ba lawful If tha oar
ilea to tnem were only moderate in the
use of the power thua secured and did
not exact from the public too great and
exorbitant prlcea. It la true that many
theorists, and others engaged In busl
ness violating the statute, have hoped
that some such line could be drawn by
courts; but no court of authority haa
aver attempted it. certainly there la

the error of that Judgment waa cor.

la af New Ceal.
Objection was made by certain Inde
pendent tobacco companlea that this
settlement (Tobacco Trust) waa unjust
because It left companies with very
large capital In active business, and
that the aettlement that would be af
fective to put all on an equality would
be a division of the cspltal and plant
of the truat Into email fractions In
amount more nearly equal to that of
each of the Independent companlea.
Thla contention results from a mis
understanding of the antl-truat law
and Ita purpoae. It le not Intended
thereby to prevent the accumulation
of large capital In buslneas enterprises
In which such a combination can secure
reduced coat of production, sale, and
distribution. It la directed against
such an aggregation of capital only
when Ita purpoae la that of stifling of
competition, enhancing or controlling
prlcea, and ealabllshlng a monopoly.
If we shall have by the decree defeated
these purposes and restored competi
tion between the large unite Into
which the capital and plant have been
divided, wa shall have accomplished
the useful purpose of the statute.
It la not tha purpose of the statute
to confiscate the property and capital
of the offending trusts. Methods of
punishment by fine or Imprisonment of
the Individual offendera, by fine of the
corporation or by forfeiture of Its
goods In transportation, are provided
hut the proceeding In equity le a sped
fie remedy to stop the operation of the
truat by Injunction and prevent the
future use of the plant and capital la
violation of the atatuta.
I venture to ssy that not In the
history of American law haa a decree
more effective for euch a purpose been out more In detail to the buslneaa

Rut now that the antl-truat act Is
seen to be effective fur the eccotn

ment, we are met by a cry from many
different quarters for Us repeat. It Is
said to be obstructive of buaineaa prog-
teea, to be an attempt to reatore old
faehloned methods of destructive ruin
petition between small units, and lo
make impossible those ueful combi
nations of capital and the reduction
of the coat of production that are ea
aentlal lo continued prosperity and
normal grot, th.
In the recent deelalons the Supreme
Court makes clear that there la nothing
in the atatuta which condemna combi
nations of capital or mere bigness of
plant organised to secure economy In
production and a reduction of Its coat.
It la only When the purpoaes or necea
aary rffecta ot the organization and
maintenance of the combination or ag.
gregatlon of Immenee else are the atlf
llng of competition, actual and poten
tial, and the enhancing of prlcea and
eatabllaMng a monopoly, that tha atat
uie I tlolaled. Mere alsa la no aln

nation la In contravention ot the
statute only when the combination
la made for the purpoae of eon
Ing thla particular competition In
order to secure control of. and
enhance, prlcea and create a monopoly.
The complaint Is made of the statute
that It Is nut sufficiently deflnlt In Ita
description of that which la forbidden
to enable buslneas men to avoid Its vlu
latlon. Th auggestlon Is, that we may
have a combination of two corpora
tions, which may run on for years, and
that subsequently th Attorney-General
may conclude that It waa a violation of
the statute, and that which waa sup
posed by the combiners to be Innocent
then turns out to be a combination In
violation of the statute. The answer to
this hypothetical case is that when men
attempt to amass such stupendous cap
ital aa will enabl them to eupprea
competition, control prices and eetab-
nan a monopoly, they know tha our.
pose of their acta. Wen do not do euch
