APRIL 7. 1904 REPUBLICANISM AND TRUSTS It is a fact that all ' the laws on the United States statute books in restraint or control of the trusts were placed there by Republicans ia Congress. ' This is a logical sequence of the fundamental doctrines of the Republiuao party, holding - that the general government has power to enact and enforce such laws, while the fundamental doctrines of the Democratic party deny such power to the. . federal government. The Republican party has not only passed anti-trust laws but it is enforcing them with vigor. Within the past thirty days the Supreme Court of the United States has rendered . decisions upholding the Republican anti trust laws in three cases wherein three of the most gigantic trusts in the nation were brought ' to time and one completely knocked out of business. These trusts in the order of their discomforture were: 1. The Northern Security Company which was declared an illegal combination by the Supreme Court on March 14, 1904, was a corporation formed under the laws of New Jersey on November 13, 1901, ith an authorized capital stock of $400, 000,000, the purpose being to secure enough of the capital stock of -the Gr-at Northern Railway Company, the Northern Pacific Railroad Compuny,' tho Oregon Short Line ami all de pendent lints of those roads so as lo merge thorn till in one sys tem under the maiiageineut of one directing head, James J. Hill. This great combine has an aggregate inilf age of roail track of 20,187.90 miles, which during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, made a gross earning of $42,137,69"0.38, and after payiug $20,897,334.83 for operating ex penses and $6,433,373.59 for fixed charges, had a net profit of $16,141,352.75 for the year 1903. But - stupendous as was this trust, uudcr a Republican made law it was tried and condemned and knocked out of business by a Republican court, for every Democratic judge on the Su preme Court bench dis-ented from the decision delariug it an illegal combination. 2. u April 4, 1904, the Supreme Court tendered another decision adverse to the great Anthracite Coal Trust. This case involved and was adverse to the stupendous combine known aa the Pennsylvania Railroad system that -operates 10,783.96 miles of railroad tract, has a capital stock of $310,174,700, and for the ) our 1902 mnde a net earning of $83,884,302.92 As connected with this railroad combine the rase involved the interest of thfe owners of nearly all the coal mines in Pennsyl vania. But notwithstanding its great wrnlih it was brought into court and made to under pin!! 1 that enormous wealth was no shield fur law breaker in this government, and it was forced to exhibit its boi.ka and permit its employees to testify in court. 3. The other ense, decided on April I, 1904, was that of the People's Gat Light and Coke Company, :li-! succesaor to. the Chicago (Jas Trust, ngninst the city of Chicago.' This was a suit brought by the Gas, Light and Coke Company to prevent tho city of Chicago, by ordi nance, from reducing Itsolmrges on gas from $1 to 75 cents. The Per Month... Single Copy . . Supreme Court decided in favor of Chioego. The Peoples Gas : Light end Coke Company was a combine of great wealth thrt practically controled all the light, fuel and much of the power used in the city of Chicago and many other cities and towns; but it too was made to feel that this is not the age, and Roosevelt's adminis tration is too much ia earnest to control trusts, for corporations combines and trusts to treat with contempt the law-of the . ....... land, and exploit the people with unhindered impunity. The decision iu the Pennsyl vania case confirms the power of the Interstate Commerce to do the things it has been asking for yeors but denied to it by the Democrats and railroad attorn eys in Congress. Now it oan proceed with renewed vigor. The United States attorney general under the inspiration of the President is working with remarkable activity on many other trust cases and this is why Wall Street is opposed, to Roosevelt and this is why the people want him for another term at the head of affairs. Today the Republican Cou ventiou meets ana selects a tieket. It is lo be hoped the deliberations of the conventi a will be centered upon the nam ing of a good ticket, iu prefer ence as to who will be eelecled as state aud congressional delegates. Iu view of important factors relative to the future welfare oi La Giande, it is to be hoped that the La Grande delegation to the Republican convention today will not place partisianship or factionalism paramount to the city's interest. Mr. Hearst's offer to contribute $1,500,000 if nominated did not seem to be appreciated by the outside of his personal friends. If these cool nights continue, the oft predicted flood from the melting snows in the mountains will not be serious. It looks now that Judge Park. er, of New York, will be the Democratic Presidential noin iuee. NOTICE Dressmaking and Plain Sew. lng. Next door to Mrs. Sheak's reel dence.
